Loaded the new patch, Crystals are still requiring Artifact Equipment Authorization. I also completed a Flashpoint in the main storyline and was rewarded a lightsaber that apparently needs the Hutt Cartel Expansion to be purchased. Why? That doesn't make sense since I am not even at the level where it should matter. What gives?
Since we can't post on the forums, we can't submit bug reports in game, and they don't want us to call CS I am personally resorting to questioning Musco, Tait, and the main SWTOR account on Twitter to hopefully elicit an actual response. I recommend others try the same. The squeaky wheel and all that.
This patch didn't fix any of my problems! Bioware, just drop the whole artifact authorization system already. It's extremely overpriced anyway.

Hey folks,
After investigation, we found an issue with patch distribution that occurred during maintenance this morning. Some players will be getting a new patch later this evening (roughly 6-8 hours from now). There will be no downtime associated with this, and you will be able to play the game up until that point. Players using the streaming client will not download anything further.
Some of you have noticed that there are certain fixes that are listed in the Patch Notes that only some players have. Tonight’s patch will resolve that issue and ensure that all the fixes in the patch reach everyone.
Thanks!

And after a day of patching, barrels/hilts from comm vendors still require artifact authorization. Perhaps a separate thread for that problem is in order . . .
Perhaps quitting the game is in order, as they clearly have not fixed this issue and do not give us a valid option to report issues. This game is broken beyond all repair in more ways then one and they are not listening to players at all. This game needs to die.
Well, I can use my level 10, +41 stat crystals again, thanks for that. However, green barrels and hilts from the modification vendors still require artifact authorization.
Yeah!
Most of the violet equipments works now.
But...
I have still 1 (or more) level 10 +41 Crystals requiring Artifact Authorization. I have checked only one of my Jedi. And there is 1 of 6 violet Crystals which is still not working. But I am afraid that there are more Crystals still not working.
Most of my stuff appears to be fixed now. However, my Yavin Bulwark MK-1 implants still require artifact authorization.
A lot of my stuff is fixed (basically the things that had an issue due to a crystal) but there are still items that my companions are wearing that are giving the issue (btw I'm almost positive that my Qyzen is wearing 2 pieces of armor that are giving a not-authorized issue, that where not just the past few days, seeing as how right after update 4, I took all items off companions if they weren't naked to re-equip them. How could I do this if the item was saying unauthorized?). So we are getting real close to a proper fix.
Yeah I see many things have been fixed but not the two crystals of two of my mains.
Was really hoping last nights down time would fix that.
Despite repeated promises, none of my items are fixes. I still have Yavin Bulwark ear pieces and implants, along with many other items, STILL requiring artifact authentication. Will this be addressed or not?

The barrels and hilts on Mod Vendors are still Artifact Authorization... I too would like an answer... will these items be addressed Officially? Please do not leave us hanging, I hardly play at all now because of this.
Oh and this: EA's live Technical chat advertized on a yellow banner above does not work. Leads to a webpage deadend. I tried it... hoping ...
