I just want to agree with the original poster. After 2 tactical flashpoints, one group with a 20,30 and 2 65's, and another group with 2 30s, and 2 65s. the flashpoints ranged from struggles to easy to impossible. All in the same flashpoints just different mobs and areas and bosses. Bioware, EA, or anyone who cares about keeping this game running needs to go through each flashpoint with mixed groups of levels and SEE how badly this works. After the amazing story line plays out, which it always does too quickly, this is all that is left to keep people playing and it is really a disgrace to the rest of the people who made the fine new content. Please address this with a meticulous comb not a broad brush. I seriously don't see myself paying to play this in another month if this isn't done well and quickly. I don't think I'm alone.

I know that most people don't make an effort to understand what I'm saying, they are content on boasting how it meant nothing to them and they snapped their fingers, spent no time at all on getting even better gear because they are all gods of gaming. I will not reply to them or to this thread again. Making 50 was made excellent because the class quests weren't easy, were interesting and gave you a new title and some snappy gear. like it or not, use it or not, replace it or not, care or not.. it did. Now, it does NOT. Peace to you all, and thanks for the replies. what will be, will be.

People throw you out of HM flashpoints if you don't already have BETTER than the old Tionese gear!

Exactly! I have a new Darth , which I felt proud to achieve and she's still wearing the same old rags. I had looked forward to the gear and look when reaching that achievement, that is now gone and I really am very disappointed. It's not so much game mechanics, balance, dumbing down the game or anything else, it's the reward that is now very very un-rewarding in my opinion. So much so, that I am honestly thinking about just going free to play and use this game now to waste time in until something else comes along, the sense of reward is very much lessened for me.

No, I haven't read the patch notes, honestly didn't see them on the forums here, or I might would have. Because vendors have mods available to buy, does not equal 'free' gear, honestly. I liked the look of the Tionese gear, I don't want to keep modding my stuff, I'd like a new look befitting a new title of Darth.. you know? I have about 50 planetary comms on me since making 50, is that enough for a complete full set like before?

Two of my other characters received decent gear to help them continue past the normal 50 quests. I just made a new level 50 and am very disappointed to not see the same offer. What is the thought process here? Does Makeb have greater gear dropping on all the mobs there, I would just like to understand. Thanks
