Yo why is this game so easy?
I literally just keep standing and my companion kill all the mobs. I do nothing.. my companion does all the work. WTF guys... how is this considered fun gameplay??

The bulk of SWTOR is solo friendly story content, and it's been made so easy it isn't fun or satisfying anymore.
You used to need to learn your class a bit, and leveling or equipping better gear actually felt like progression, but now you can go have a snack while your companion solos quest bosses.

If you don't have fun standing still while your companion kills things, why are you standing still? If you don't want your companion to kill things, why aren't you putting them on passive?

If you want difficulty, though, you're not going to find it in the story portion of the game. The story portion is for people who are more interested in story than in getting killed by random mobs. If you want difficulty, participate in Ops or PvP, depending on your taste.

It's mmo, of course it's easy until you get to the end game.
That's how this genre is.

Because whenever I hit a mob they all die in 1 hit. Theres no challenge in this game.

What other mmos? Every single one that I played was just as easy, if not easier.

Except Mortal Online. Yep, that's the only difficult one.

Somehow I think you never played at launch and certainly never played vanilla WoW back in the day.

Its easy because the devs made it easy for new players without thinking about its veterans.

Other mmos like FFXIV, ESO is not faceroll like this mmo.

Key words - back in the day.
Back in the day I played Lineage 2. Vanilla one. Yes that was hardcore.
But now all mmos are brain dead until you get to whatever endgame they are supposed to have.
This one is no different. At least official servers.

I played like 30 hours of FF14 before deleting it, because of how brain dead easy and boring it was.
I dunno about high level content, but the begging of FF14 is no harder than SWTOR.
