Some of the classes feel, underwhelming in abilities in comparison to other classes of their same role, I know I feel underwhelming as an operative healer. What metrics have you developed to measure these issues in class (and more specifically, spec) balance in PvE and PvP and what if any plans do you have to resolve issues you come across?

Seriously, you guys asked for this. You didn't want Ops to be able to pin you from full to dead. Fine, they stopped that. They then changed the skill to not auto fill resolve. Unfortunately, that had the small effect of allowing the class to stun-lock. If you read the Ops forums during the "nurf" you'd not only know that the nerf wasn't really a nerf but you'd know the best way to stop it. Let them hit you with their first stun. Then on the second, you can prep for it, hit your CD break, then STUN THEM. Gives you time to get away, heal a bit, whatever. Eventually you'll realize the issue isn't with the opponent's clalss, its the person interfacing with your computer.

*points you towards the Sage/Sorc forums* I was really close to saying something from a different healer spec...but this is the better option...and far nicer.

Correction: Open up inventory. Click on Fleet Pass. Loading screen. At fleet. Maybe 30 seconds depending on your machine. Can't buy fleet passes?

From what I read, PvP DPS Ops/Scounds are basically the same. PvE DPS got nerfed. PvP and PvE Healing ops have been lackluster since the beginning if not downright bad. What needs to happen are adjustments to these other roles to bring them in line with our PvP DPS role. For healing, there are tons of suggestions for improvements in the various role/class forums. For PvE DPS, add a stacking debuff to an ability that lasts for..25-30 seconds that can only proc every 20 at a frequency that it get a new stack/refresh before it falls off a target. Guess what, minimal effect on PvP (target or player are usually dead by the time you'll get more than 1 stack) with the ability to balance the DPS for PvE (as boss fights not trash are the only things that really matter).

Make an alt. Enjoy the story of all classes. Collect/craft low level orange/blue BoE armor sets, go to newbie planets, and drop them on some unsuspecting level 1. Give "Datacron tours", charge if you want. Find a mailbox. Stand on it. Get naked. Dance for tips. Run lowbies through the "story" FPs for Social Points. Do I need to come up with more for you to do? Yes, by being "selfish" you can run out of things to do at 50 in any MMO. It's just a problem with the genre. But by being social, you'll never run out of things to do. Oh, one more. Go to a PvP-RP server. RP from level 1, in everything.

As a medic, while I'm glad for all my concel buddies having more to do (more buttons imo is more more fun to me), I want some love too. I feel practically useless. All I got was a 20% nerf to a damage ability of mine for soloing.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Empire, Sith, Jedi, Republic,.... It all ends the same. that the Sith and Jedi got involved in politics and war instead of just being their religious cults that they are..heck, the Empire and Republic could have their war, be better for it, and if it came down to it, get mutually destroyed by it and the factions reduced into petty squabbles between local clusters. It happened to the Infinite Empire, why shouldn't it happen to us now? Speaking of which...anyone know if any of the story lines, and which one, touches more on the history of the Infinite Empire? I have some theories why they collapsed and I want to see if I'm correct.

It's really bad when you wish you had an Final Fantasy style Healing Rod as a weapon of choice. "Heaing Rod" Shiv -> SA -> Shiv -> SA ... It make us an unique healer.

The most profitable in my mind isn't exactly a single trade-skill, but a combination of them. I didn't want to craft on my first toon, or endlessly gather. As such, I went Slicing, UT, and TH. What I've been doing, while questing, is sending my non-current companions out on T6 and T5 slicing quests (approximately 30 minutes a mission, decent returns) and I slice any nodes I come across in the field (the big money maker). Any Slicing, UT, or HT missions I get I keep but all others I sell (between default-10k depending on the type). When I'm about to log out for the night, I use whatever mission finds I found (as they're about 2.5 hours each) sending my best matching companions on them and go to bed. I log in to normal/crit rewards from those missions and I'm able to sell the results on the GTN (epic T6 mats are quite valuable).

I actually didn't notice myself till someone said "anyone else hear this ghostly laugh?" while in a FP. Took me a week to realize what was causing it.

My Agent laugh's quietly whenever my Tactical Advantage procs.

Would completing it solve your issues? I'm not familiar with this bug.
