I was one of the first 50's on my server because, personally, I love questing. Once I hit 50, me and the only 7 50s on my server down the first 2 bosses in EV and then tried the Rancor boss only to learn it was bugged before calling it quits. I personally didn't feel the raids were all that hard, or took all that long (the 2 bosses we did that is, also we just learned as we went, no vids or help, mechanics weren't that hard in normal ops). I hadn't done one hard mode or had any epic gear and was already downing bosses in EV, and we managed to do this without any mods or add ons. Not only that, but people are STILL downing bosses in hard mode heroics and nightmare mode WITHOUT mods and add ons and these people are the "hardcore" people who are still asking for mods and add ons and so I don't really get this post. Especially if what I'm reading in most forums is correct and the only real difference between normals and hard/nightmare mode is boss health and damage, not mechanics =[ I think its a little strange for people to brand themselves as "hardcore" players who need help doing things right. just my 2 cents.

Hasnt bugged for me yet =O. But i will be on the lookout

Apperantly no one has ever done wailing caverns in vanilla (sticking to the wow comparison)

Thiis. i would love a hot or even a small healing ability for 30 centering.

No they do not, Last night while running The Battle for Ilum or The Last Emperor, can't remember which, We found a tanking relic that was not specific to light or dark side. Here as example, this is what the relic that dropped looked like as well http://www.torhead.com/item/h1l8egO

I approve.

No this is false, I've had a blaster drop in Estelles with me and my cousin (Both jedi consulars with no companions able to use blasters) and also medium and heavy armor. I think its random and you've just been lucky But the loot bag after the run is only in operations (raids) not regular flashpoints

I don't know about the trooper line, sorry, but I can say I got to level 30 during beta as a jedi consular and in the beginning, I rerolled as a smuggler around level 15 cuz I was bored because the story sucked. But I ended up going back to see the other planets and around level 20 or 25, new characters were introduced and it got so much better. I was so enthralled in the character story I flew from planet to planet JUST to finish my class story quest and finish act 1. I got to the last quest just as the beta ended, but I can honestly say I am really looking forward to doing it all again and seeing the next chapter of the jedi consular story.

You don't need to do these quests to level up, you think they are to hard, skip them and quit whining.

this, In the beta me (jedi sage) and my cousin (Jedi Sentinel) 2 manned this instance with our companions and me healing, no real tanking is required.

Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard

Actually, this happens... its called a "line" you wait for the people in front of you who got there before you to enter, then you yourself enter. Bioware is doing fine, quit complaining and wait your turn in line.
