Too much XP is too much - OP Companions - Badly tuned level sync

Maybe in WoW. Im here for story and fun. Oh yea, i did NiM raids a launch, but, as everyone else, it was just same ol' thing like in any other MMO, geargrind raids till next one comes out, rince, repeat.

Character progression is MUCH more larget term than stats. Stats are just missused RPG element.

You have your "balance" where it belongs - HMs and NiMs

And there are many ways to make game challenging for yourself. Its just a matter that you DONT WANT to.

Why nerf the companions?

Since influence rank improves their combat ability. If you don't want your companion to be powerful. Don't raise their influence.

It was never work to gear a companion, they wound up in my old gear or my off set. So when I PvP'd I put my PvP gear on and put my companion in PvE gear or old PvP gear. Vice versa for PvE.

I had to grind those mods and such for my own gear, then I'd rip the old ones and pass them along to companions. The only difference now is that I don't have to grind credits to pay for ripping mods twice to pass them on. But they already nerfed the credit reward drops so you can't just grind credits anymore. You are gated by quests now.

If they start rolling back these changes, there's a whole host of changes they would need to roll back to bring everything back into balance. Nerfing companions, making people have to gear them again, etc has a domino effect on the whole game from a variety of different aspects.

Credit rewards would have to go up for one otherwise you'll get deflation since companion gear was a credit sink ultimately. Bringing back comp gear means those credit nerfs they put in with 4.0 would have to be removed. All the heroics would have to get rescaled since now with gear, I can min max companions and make them more powerful than they are now. Now I'm locked into their stat itemization, so melee companions have stuff like alacrity and accuracy where they don't really need it. They are also high endurance, low mastery right now which is again sub-optimal.

That's the biggest best thing about this game now. Every single thing you do will now continue to progress you. Everything counts!

jeez, no one wants a full blown roll back or nerf, i just want it so my level 16 comp cant stand in the middle of 10 level 21 mobs and never lose health.

Your level 16 comp isn't standing in a pack of mobs that are level 21. They would be level 22 or 23 on Nar Shaddaa. Please stop using extreme hyperbole to support your argument, show me a parse.

have you not read any of my previous posts? I have dismissed comp, it comes back after every cutscene and scene transition. I have sent it crafting, it comes back half way through fights, i have put it on passive, just to have this retard npc follow behind me by 2 steps, totally destroying immersion.

Its stupid that you have to handicap yourself to get the slightest challenge. It still doesn't make the game challenging cos mobs are weaker too now.

Plus i enoyed having my comp with me while i played before 4.0, it was cool to have a character you got attached to HELPING in fights.
