Now I use the above mentioned things as well. I just finished grinding out TKA and Smuggler and it occurred to me the other day fighting the 100000th Mokk outpost, what is the challenge in this? I literally stand there with 6 VERY strong NPC's hammering on me and my HAM bars arent even dented.
The combat revamp is coming and I am sure the Devs will nerf this stuff....I think alot of people, myself included, are in for a RUDE awakening!

Hey, when NPCs are doing 5k shots, I dont see a problem with it. And why aren't there any NPCs who aren't masters of an elite profession? Should Meatlumps really be able to pull off an Advanced Strafe?

you want a challenge go solo ancient krayts or go solo the nightsister cave,perhaps then you might find the buffs and food lacking a little

Take off your armor and tell me you are still invincible...your argument may have had a little more weight had you added, docbuffs/food/armor=invincible...but still won't do the job against the krayts or NS caves (do I dare mention DWB?)

Ahh, there is the flaw in your logic. You're not standing there with 6 VERY strong NPC's. Go to the Correlian Corvette and you'll find out soon enough what a VERY strong NPC really is.

But the original poster's point still stands. So most folks can't solo all the NPCs in the corvette or Krayts. This is still the only MMORPG that I have ever played that folks can easily solo 95% of the content in it and grouping is only ever done to tackle the handful of uber tough content.
After the combat revamp and buffs, armor and weapons are all 'adjusted' we won't be able to solo half of the things we can now.

Forced to group? Screw that. they'll lose both my accounts. This game was marketed as playable EITHER solo or with others. The combat revamp is takling forever because SOE can't get a handle on how much business they will lose after the revamp goes live. I'll bet they are waiting to see if the uptick in subscriptions inJTL will offset the mass exodus a severe rebalance wiul cause.
I agree that some content can be group only, BWB, Corvettte - but to suddenly make my TKA weaker just to FORCE me to play with others, FORCE me to form guilds, FORCE the game to be harder, well Skippy, lemme tell ya - I'll be gone.

you could do as I do - go without buffs. I'm only TKA 0/1/2/1 butI use some food/brandy, a ton of 350/400 stim Bsand have a neut pixie for emergencys. I also use the pixie when doing tusken fort, but I'v been caught fighting a mob of them when spice downer hit. Needless to say it was instant trip to clone center. I have also been snagged by lag a few times when needed stim was a second behind a fatal hit. Mycombat uniform is as follows:
1. Decent Ubese Boots & Gloves
2. Boi-engineered pants and shirt
3. 75%-80% composite chestplate, shoulders, and helmet
4. Average VK's with powerups.
While I can't kill everything in the universe, it makes the game more interesting/challenging for me. Just say NO to Buffs

TKA + food/buffs can't solo anything, and they're very far from that, alot of high end mobs have very high kinetic resistances (if not 100% like for example the NS elder), high end tuskens can take you out in 1 shot, I never seen a TKM soloing a SBD without either healing himself or feign death; krayt dragons are not very tough tho, can be solo'd by almost anyone who know what to do. but there's no way u can solo EVERYTHING in the game, specially since NPCs got their specials back.
a good challenge is to go down the force crystal cave, not that hard but it can be surprising.
