I did a fresh install on a new PC yesterday and my characters stand still and do nothing during cutscenes. Even some NPC's don't move or sit like they are supposed to.

Aside from the fact I lost my favorite companion and have no idea how to bring Ashara back, the strength of the companions is rather nice actually. There are some who would see everything nerfed just because they failed to keep their companions geared. Heck, just doing the yavin 4 weekly got that free 192 companion set and that made my companion more powerful than me since I was only in 190-198 mixture gear.
I love how ppl in this thread were calling GW2 P2W. Those same ppl most likely did NOT play the beta to know for themselves what is in the cash shop. I on the other hand did and know for a fact that 98% of the cash shop is for account only.
ever since they "fixed" Ashara's dual weilding animations Ashara refuses to sheath her sabers and when she does (which is like 5% of the time) the blades show and 1% of that 5% the blades disappear but as soon as i get on a speeder then get off she automatically pulls her sabers out. i put in a ticket and they asked for more info like the location it happened is just related to one area.
There is a feature that automatically switches your char to the instance of the group leader unless the instance is full.
Its easier to do story quests as different classes.
Most of the caves your referring to are HEROIC quest areas. (Which btw is for every class.)
You can do the same quests as the same classes, you just have to do it twice. Once for you and once for your friend.
Boom! I just killed your arguement in seven sentences!
EDIT: I love the Inquisitor storyline, its extremely fun. POP! Overkill!
