The way I use this spreadsheet is to memorize the top 6 missions (here for empire side) and look for those. you can usually find one of these for each crew member to do. For maximum credits per minute, the best 6 missions are from most profitable to less profitable (according to the spreadsheet): The automated saboteur: 2398 1742 1194 3056 1650 Prince of fools: 1055 2408 2280 2836 Careful what you read: 4036 3901 2438 2695 Pointing Fingers: 3434 3591 2895 The fly on the wall: 5340 3957 Taking back control: This list has some extra information for the spreadsheet too. Each mission on this list realizes more than 100 credits per minute at full affection, which results in more than 30k per hour with 5 companions crafting. It will be more if you've got a companion with bonus to slicing. Also, you'll get a lot of lower level mission discoveries - I've got so many that I'm having to vendor them because the GTN doesn't allow more than 50 auctions at a time.

You are off your rocker. I played WoW for quite a while and raided in that game too. My Warlock never had this problem. He had fewer combat skills and the macro system meant that many buttons could do different things in different circumstances so that two different skills could go on the same keypress. For example I had a mouse button that would fish when I had a fishing pole equipped but would serve a combat function when I had a weapon equipped. I remember being able to cram almost every combat skill onto my non-gaming mouse (I even used scoll up and down as buttons) using shift, ctrl and alt modifiers, and then I had to take them all off because my thumb started hurting. WoW did not have this problem for Warlocks in classic, in Wrath or in Cataclysm where I played it.

I'm a level 39 Sith Warrior Juggernaut, and I've got so many different skills that my keyboard and 5 mouse keys don't suffice. I cope by not using some skills even though I should. I've got an AOE slowdown coupled with a high damage ability that only works on slowed mobs, but I never use either because I don't have enough buttons. This problem is turning me into a clicker! I activate my long cooldown abilities using the mouse not because I want to, but because I've got no more keys to bind them to. This is after I bound a bar to shift-1, shift-2, etc. and my mouse has 5 buttons, 3 of which I also bind shift variations to. It's hard to hit buttons 7, 8, 9 when my hand is already on button 1 so I sometimes activate a different ability than the one I want. I feel like I must be doing something wrong - this can't be the intended way to play the game, can it? The game doesn't have a dps meter, so I can't tell if perhaps there are some skills I should never use based on my spec. As far as I can tell, every single ability I've got is useful in some circumstances and those circumstances all pop up because many mobs in this game do things like CC'ing you or heal themselves (calls for interrupts). If you are playing a Sith Warrior Juggernaut, or if your class has a similar skill proliferation problem, how do you cope? Is this game really intended to be played with a 10-button mouse? Edit: I've also bound the tilde button and shift-tilde. Edit: From reading this and talking to my guild, here's some tips that are currently working much better for me now. First of all, you don't need strafe keys since holding down right mouse button will make your keyboard turn keys strafe. So rebind q and r to turn, and use A and D for something else (and of course shift-A and shift-D). Rebind "chat response" from R to [ and use R and shift-R for something else. F gets you in cover. If you need that, you can still use shift-F. You can also bind to mouse scroll up and down, including shift versions. Also use tilde and shift-tilde (the key before 1 on your keyboard). That's been enough keys for me so far.

What's really bad is that they do not give you an ETA on when you will get through - they don't even tell you how many people are in front of you in the queue. So you have no idea if it's going to be 5 seconds or 5 hours. So you have to stay at your phone the whole time, ready to respond at a moment's notice. That gets old after an hour.
