Not sure if anyone else has seen this but when you type /up to point up it brings a upload option to transfer your character to test server and that should be put as something other than the command to point up..... Just a thought

Forgive me for not reading all 9 pages...
When doing Jabba missions, if you run up to the wrong NPC (ie one waiting for a different PC) and talk to him, he/she/it usually says something to the effect of "Dontknowyou"

The Absolutely most annoying text problem (maybe not a bug) is that the text in mission terminal missions and pop up text ( like from server messages),CAN NOT BE ENLARGED! I have a 61 inch monitor and sit 6 feet back- only chat and inventory text can be enalrged so this is a problem also if any player is sight impaired they have no way to increase the size of the text- would that be discrimination against the handicapped? Thanks.

I didn't go through and see if this is listed yet or not.
But what annoys me the most, is when you get a vendor message it names the general area, such as 'Riverland, Correllia' ect.. Even though my vendor is in a player city. I would prefer it say that you had a vendor sale from 'New Unity' instead of from the area New Unity is in. From what it appears this general name is pretty vast so if you two vendors in different player cities on the same planet they could have the same name in the vendor E-mail.
Trivial, but it has always annoyed me.

While hunting on endor, the combat chat doesnt update correctly all the time when switching from one mission to the next...i.e., started out hunting swirl prong impalers, so you see xxx has hit swirl prong impaler for xxx...after going to the next mob of gurreck forest stalkers, i noticed it was saying xxx hit swirl prong impaler for xxx....we werent on those anymore we were on gurreck forest stalkers.... Well i noticed after this that everything was now registering in the combat window as a Swirl Prong Impaler, instead of the mob we were actually fighting.

I'm now working on some of the combat spam (where it says him in place of he or his - or in the tool terms %OT instead of %ST or %PT).

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Q, go up to someone and do /spin on them. It will say (assume female) "You spin <name> around until her is dizzy." Also, some creatures have female gender nouns (like queen) but still emote as a male. Never mind professions like rifle-man. Also if you do a wookiee hug to someone, on your screen it will look correct, but the emoted text (a LOT of time, the text on the client end, the view to third party, and the receiver don't look alike, aside from words like "You" and "her.") has a misspelling of wookiee, where there is only 1 e. Wookiee has two e's, like misspell has two s's.

Novice Carbineer and Master Carbineer misspelled titles = most annoying to me by far.

just found this one, if you try to use an Armor repair tool when you dont have any armor that needs repairing, it says
"you dont have anything in need of repair (make sure your weapons are unequipped)"

Toss me down for /reply being the most annoying text bug 
Recommended Fix
When someone hits their reply key (CTRL R by default), have it put up "/tell <player name>" where <player name> is the name of the person who sent the tell just before /reply was activated.
