I had to chime in on here as well as this just recently capped my patience level... Bioware needs to fix this. I don't need FIVE companion gift missions on high level Crew Skills.
Although i appreciate the information from those who've posted, didn't know logging would reset... why should i have to login/logout, enter flashpoints, enter ships, etc etc. Its a complete and total waste of of money, especially in high level missions to have to send the crew out to do missions for other stuff just to get the mats in the list that i need to craft something. Since it sometimes takes up to 30 of one item to RE that item into a purple, you can blast through a stack of Mats pretty quickly. I'll leave that RE'ing cluster for another time/thread.
If i Want Artifact Fragments i shouldn't have to send three crew members out for Power Crystals, just so i can get one Artifact the next go round then have the log fill up with 5 color crystals...
Who was the Brainchild behind that set of code???
