im not too surprised, when the nge first came out, pve was a doddle, despite the teleporting animals :D
i do think in their quest to improve the challenges, and, encourage grouping again, they did go a little OTT, people are encouraged to group through xp bonuses, as well as mob difficulty. i do think that they need to look into mob behaviour more, as well as unique resists, that is, a mob with a tough hide, might be more resistant to kinetic than another which has a thick hide thats more resistant to energy, kind of thing.
i do still want to see more entertainer content, or at least, non-combat content, city content even, all these npc cities and which ones get used the most, mos eisley cantina.
Its not just the planets themselves that are waiting for content, its the cities, all these guns around and not a single shooting range, players are competitive after all, so getting to see their name as the weekly high score at a shooting range, you could even have one in each city, and have a 'world champion' kind of thing.
