I have not played in a while and I log in and all the companions have no gear and my mailbox is full of it. What gives? I spent a good amount of money on those items, why can't I use them?
Also, they changed the companions to allow each companion to do all the jobs (heal, dps) and they are no longer gear dependent. You can put that gear back on them but it is only for looks now.

What Talonsin said.
However, as far as your question, I believe they made it so that you don't supply your characters with gear anymore, they naturally have whatever stats or something like that.
I'll see if I can find the article I read about it.
Companion gear is now purely aesthetic. Players no longer need to worry about companions underperforming because of their outdated gear. While equipment will still change the visual appearance of companions just as it did before (it's important to look your best when you're adventuring across the galaxy!), companions will no longer gain combat stats from their gear. Due to this change, any gear slots which have no effect on a given companion's appearance will be removed from that companion. Any gear in those slots will be returned directly to the Character's inventory.
