Same people spamming me with whispers every day now. I ignore and report, but they just make new accounts and resume the spam, usually multiple times a day.
Vanity companion specifically for level 50's, I guess. Players weren't really intended to actually level up using the character like they do other companions. It's kind of a shame, but the price of the unlock is too exorbitant to bother with for a new character.
I think you need a space age, latest top of the line computer to run this game. Ignore the required specs they tell you, because it's a lie. It will run horribly even if you far exceed the requirements, ESPECIALLY since the latest updates.
