There's no difficulty then in creature sampling. I could kill every creature in the galaxy while my BE guildmate mops up on DNA. Where's the adventure in that? Keeps you on your toes everytime you cross the path of a high level creature, ie. Enraged/Mutant Rancors, and makes the hunt worthwhile.

Now that's your mistake right there. You're apply realism to SWG.

Actually, from a gaming point of view, you have no risk sampling DNA from dead animals. I wouldn't bother trying to sneak up on a mutant rancor. I'd just get someone to kill it then I'dsaunter up tothe dead bodyallfat dumb and happyand stab it with my DNA sampleneedle. There's no real challenge in that which is probably the number one reason. It wouldn't be as much fun.

What about if the BE does most of the damage? Like when your group hunting Giant Krayt Dragons, members of the group that did the most damage are the only ones that can harvest/loot. Why not make it like that? If the BE does the most damage (pets/droids excluded)then they should be able to sample it. That would solve BEs from hiring Commandos/BH or from using their own pets that they make to attack.

Why can't I sample DNA from dead creatures? They do it on CSI all the time!
