Biggest issue are those bulky droids.

They have this missile barrage spell that deals unfair amounts of damage in combination of the high damage that silver mobs normally have.

This, there are some npc's that are out of balance in contrast to their grade.
One would think that Gold is better than Silver, but there are places where this is completely opposite.
Can't count on one hand how many times I downed some wussy golden NPC where I had to fight much harder silver NPC's all the way to get there.

That's not a stun, it's an incapacitate. Big difference.

This was my feeling too. Came to this conclusion on Corellia. Silver MOBS every cluster...felt like a friggin slog and NOT heroic at all. I'd groan with tedium at what I was expected to labor through. Such a p.i.t.a. that I've abandon all side quests and intend to only pursue the main class quest.

Thing is, it's not that they're terribly deadly. I never felt like I was going to loose, but I'd have to meditate after each fight. If BW somehow thinks THIS is a challenge or somehow heroic, they need to rethink their design.

Disagree. My warrior had no problems handling two or more strong mobs. My Inquisitor does, if Khem Val dies, but I'm not that good with my Inquis, and he's probably a bit undergeared.

Of course, if you play a Sorc/Sage, that's the trade off you get for playing a class that hits like a truck.
This just in: Expanding on an ending no one likes is not improving said ending. A polished turd is still a turd.

Trick with them is to agro them to your companion and then dps them down. You can desummon and resummon your companion at full health in about 3 seconds after the fight.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

They need to tone down the silvers or, better yet, get rid of them entirely. There are ridiculous amounts of them on ilum, nearly every pull has one, the silver types need to go.
Raid progression no one cares about. Unimpressive quote or one liner. Uninteresting guild name. List of characters with their level and class symbol. Server. Referral link.

I'm full tank geared with all upgrades and such, and he dropped me in 5 seconds while I was attending to the other strong NPC. I was finally able to down it by blowing all CD's the instant they spawned, and focusing the minigun mob(he has the quest item drop). I died after he died, without touching the 2nd strong mob. A bit crazy, I'd say.

Not to mention that the mobs spawn in an Evading way, and then teleport 20 yards behind you and start blowing you up.
Thank god for someone mentioning this.
Just been trying to do this quest with my Warrior. Kept getting planted. Checked my and companions gear. Was beginning to think I was doing something wrong and just really poor.

Those guys should not be rated as silver, They could literally take me down in seconds.

Think I may just go back to that quest later.

I'd like to know why MMOs always do this. X number of levels are fun to play, but there always comes a time (every mmo does this) where the combat stops being fun, and becomes a freaking chore.

It's one of the primary reasons I roll alts. The first 1/2 to 2/3rds of a character's levels are the most fun because combat is fun and not a chore.
