Since Alderan for some reason i always turn out 2 levels below the next planet i have to go to. I have been told numerous times do to heroic missions or flashpoints but im on a low population server im literary the only one on hoth and those missions are easier with teams. Does any1 know anyway to level up besides side missions (which i did every one on hoth) flashpoints and heroics?

Ever since i chose my advanced class (sith marauder) i have been getting armor that either i couldn't use or just plain sucked. I managed to make it all the way to Hoth like this but know this armor problem is really annoying. On Hoth they don't sell any armor (except for the head,wrists,and cybernetics but i dont need those) for commendations, and that is the only armor that is good use to me. My friends tell me to do missions or kill people until i loot good armor. I have tried this but whenever i do loot armor its heavy armor which as a sith marauder i cant use. All im asking for is some way i can get good armor whether it is a mission somebody knows of or if there is a special vendor somewhere that can sell me armor i need for commendations. I dont even care if its is a higher level than i am (level 38) i can level up, i just need good medium armor.
