I agree the companions were over leveled in the 4.0 expansion. So the nerf was okay -- except they went to far the other way -- I agree with all the complaints I've read about the grind. I was already bored with running Yavin numerous times for companion gear so I COULD use different companions. I don't like PVP but I know many who do. I work full time so I can't "que" up for operations or flashpoints -- unless I want to log on after work and stand around for hours waiting for a group to get their act together. I'm not a casual player - play every day -- but I play because it is fun, not because I want to work my *** off. So while the nerf on companions was understandable -- they just went too far. They need to increase their healing again or they need to stop with the planet leveling. I don't have 30 minutes to run every heroic. There has to be a happy balance for dedicated players though not hard core - and hard core players who run ops and fps all the time. Please BW find a happy medium for those of us who like the game but can't always group up. :/
