Companion Healing too Weak Now

I don't mean this to be an angry rant and I tried to phrase it so it wouldn't read like one. I apologize if it sounds like one anyway. It's not my intention. However, I do have concerns about this is...

    I understand your point.  As they stated if further adjustments are needed they will be made.  More then likely it will be some time as they need to review player feedback plus see how the data looks that they gather from the game but changes may still be made.  Unfortunately it's a balancing act due to the changes having to affect everyone together but I'm sure they will find a good balance.

They are now designed to gain influence from conversations, they no longer lose from a choice but the amount gained varies.

I leveled warrior mainly using vette as my comp. When I hit Tsris she was at level 20 just from conversations.

So you can use just conversation however gifts are meant to add to it.

Also you can earn gifts from crew skills like treasure hunting or underworld trading. I recommend that, most missions are only like 8 min now instead of like 30min prior to 4.0

I may have gifted that companion a little pre 4.0 while the trooper was sitting in limbo at 11 or so. It was my first companion on her and I had a habit of gifting companions just for crafting even with the alts (I think the trooper just finished alderaan and is on to balmora), but I definitely noticed a difference on how fast my companions gained inf beyond that companion. 

I don't remember where Trais falls in the story vs Balmora for pub vs imp at the moment. 

The big problem I saw is the older companions/players are at a bit of a disadvantage regarding getting companion affection up.

That is what's annoying with those who already had rank 9 and 10 companions coming into the xpac, followed by this nerf. I would not doubt for those struggling with the rank 9 or 10 companion on alderaan, if they had a rank 20 they would have a significantly easier time. Older players are just not able to benefit from the pay off the newer players will see with the companions ranking up faster as they have completed all of those conversation paths while leveling already..
