Thanks everyone! I haven't run into anything but friendly people in this game. I think I have the gear to finish my Makeb missions after a trip to the market and some group runs. Now it's time to get mods to tailor my stats, figure out more rotations, and gear up my companions. BTW- I like my guild, I just think that there aren't many members that are high level (probably people like me that started recently, but unlike me, didn't get to higher levels)

Thanks. I've been gearing up pretty quickly, but it has been primarily because I get with groups that are so overpowered that I am mostly just trying to keep up. I think I'll be visiting Makeb more now. I joined a random clan early on, but it doesn't seem to be working well anymore, so I am looking for a new one. I am also curious about operations. I don't have access to eternity vault, karagga's palace, or explosive contact. Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new to this genre and was counting on a friend for help until he got into an accident.

I can only play things 50-55. I forgot what I got kicked in. I've completed the zoo and another one a several times, but don't seem to be getting better gear except the first time.

I am a 55 level sith assassin that has been playing for 3 months (first mmo). I recently got kicked for sub 140 gear and I don't know how to efficiently get better gear. What is my best option? Random group queues for basic and elite commendations?

level 55, but very under-geared; best way to gear up?

I am level 55, but get stuck on the final bosses (Hutt cartel) soloing. I have also had comments about how terrible my gear is, including getting kicked for gear recently. This is my first MMO and I have only been playing for 3 months. What is the best way to gear up? I've gone to the market, but have few credits. I am a Sith assassin deception build and only have 2 companions (tank and healer) with any gear.
