Good Lord you're obtuse. If the issue was actually about a player exploiting, the class of said player has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Thus, you banging on about sorc this and sorc that is rather contradictory to the point of your post. Therefore, people have drawn what appears to be the natural conclusion - you're whining about sorcs, and we've heard it all before.

Conversely, if you'd like a new model for your saber, there are 2 options I'm aware of at the higher end of that level range. Tatooine: Complete full Tatooine Bonus Series, reward is a saber (Level 28) Taris: Commendation Vendor sells sabers (Level 36)

I agree, I really wish I had a button I could press to remove stuns and other CC. That would be the best button ever!

I'd be very wary of adding this. It would likely discourage team play as people are attempting to score for medals instead of passing to a better-positioned teammate

This. Even with Xalek's bugged Shield/Absorbtion stats he reaches a point that he's better than Khem, since you can outfit him in your old pvp/tier gear.

Nope, you're bad.

Sure sounds like you know what you're talking about. Maybe I missed the trainer when he gave me a 6 second channel on Force Lighting, because mine's only 3. The ACTUAL math is that Force Lightning COSTS 6 force not including natural regen. A full force lightning channel is 4 ticks (once on application, once per second thereafter), thus returning 24 force at an initial cost of 30.

This is untrue. Mercenary commendations can be acquired from chests in the Outlaw's Den on Tatooine (free-for-all PvP zone) at a rate of 80 per 2 hours - four chests, each containing 20 comms, on 2-hour independent timers. While it is not particularly efficient to only farm these chests, it becomes the most efficient method of bag farming if you park yourself in the Den, and drive quick circuits while you're waiting for your next match queue to pop.

Buying extra pieces and ripping the mods/enhancements out to replace poorly itemized mods/enhancements in your other pieces is also a very common use for extra comms.

Ah yes, forgot to mention this. From what I can tell, it appears to be the same resetting timer used by WoW. 5 resets per hour seems to be the limit. I specifically was using a heroic instance on Belsavis to test, reset approximately every 6 minutes, and was unable to for a further half hour after my 5th reset. I haven't had a chance to run tests over multiple hours, so I can't confirm 100% percent, but I believe this is the case.

Just out of curiosity, why would this be considered an exploit? Farming instances has existed for as long as instances have existed.

No you didn't. Champion bags are unique, you can only possess one before level 50.

From a rules standpoint, I don't see why it would not be allowed, and I have seen no indication that it is forbidden. From a technical standpoint, yes this is quite possible. For an instanced heroic where the completion criterion is kill credits, you can kill up until you've just about completed the quest, then leave the instance. You have to both reset the quest in your log, and also right click on your player portrait, under Group >> Reset Instances. For a heroic with a loot objective, avoid looting the quest item(s) and follow the same procedure (Leave instance, right click self >> Group >> Reset Instances) DO NOT complete all objectives and then leave before trying to reset, as I have had issues with it not letting you back into the instance even after you reset the quest in your log.

Theoretically this might have been true before they fixed Pure Shockfrozen Water, but it certainly is not true anymore. An assassin/shadow can receive a maximum of 14 medals, as they no longer have access to healer medals.

One thing to remember for gearing your companion. You can use commendations to buy any gear you want for your companions, but unassembled gear tokens can only be used if your companion is the same archetype, because the unassembled tokens are locked to an archetype (ie. when I receive an unassembled champion piece, it can only be used by Sith Inquisitor/Jedi Consular, thus I can only use that token to get gear for my Inquisitor companion)
