Were you doing Aa'kuan Champions or something (ones that spawns Sentinals and Defenders)? Those two kinds of Aa'kuans seems to drop the most items, I have gotten Aakuan rings...
As an interesting sidenote, I'd like to noteI'm actually wearing an Aa'kuan ringI got off a BH mark.
Yeah friend of mine logged on to try an NPC BH mission and first NPC he killed dropped an Aa'kuan ring, I was like "uh you SURE you weren't killing Aa'kuans?" heh

It's not even worth an answer, Tanks.
They complain for what? Jedi should be happy that BHs have something else to do, besides hunting Jedi marks.
And about the loot:
-I can earn a minimum of 15M in 2-3hrs by hunting krayts.
-I can assure you that, unless you get a very lucky CA drop, you will NEVER earn 15M in 3hrs running BH missions. And if we count lucky drops, I can always get a lucky drop when I hunt krayts and loot a set of 6x 190 tissues..
That being said. Those missions are a step in the right direction.
Nerf em? NO
Let anyone do em? NO
Implement similar content, such as smuggling missions for smugglers? YES!
This one says it all. Don't Nerf the missions or loot. Don't let everyone do them. Create class based missions for all the classes.
Give Smugglers smuggling missions that pay and give decent loot.
Give Rangers hunting missions for rare beasties.
And so on and so forth.
Hell, Give the crafters custom crafting missions for high pay. The generic crafting missions you can get from NPC city guild halls had great potential for bringing money into the game, but you get more money selling them on the market.

You see.. my char has been in existance since launch.. never been a crafter as I have no interest and grinding missions is slow money
I have NEVER seen more than 8 million on this account at any one time.. now if you.. getting 12 million.. 6 million.. in 2 days of looting probably solo.. thats just lame cause If I want those kinds of credits it would require me becoming a BH.. which I really dont want to do
So those of us that dont want to become a crafter/BH get shafted credit wise due to no other way to solo and get high end loot that fast

That kind of looting takes hours. Invest 3 requires a minimum of 20-30mins tracking down a mark that may or not drop the highend loot.
I recently changed my temp up and dropped 10 lvls.
Before I could get 80+ missions with about 1 or 2 in 15-20 marksbeing a gold chevron and that's without training a single box in investigation. The elitemarks 30k+ HAMs seem to bedropping the really nice stuff. If you hunted for 12 hours straight as a lvl80 novice BH then it's possible you could encounter 5 of these type marks who are dropping the high end loot.
Today with -10lvlsI can only draw cl70 as the highest mission and the drops have been mediocre at best. A couple of trando intraframes and 1 mark with 18k+ health that was areally tough battle for my cl64 tempexcept that I havedoctor 2/x/x/x, stimDs 1200+ and 4 shots of Ruby. I didn't use any bomb droids/probots/psgs b/c I have yet to find anything of high-quality. I got incapped once but my healing saved the day in the endand he dropped a BH scheme,reactive micro plating and adv weapon scopes x7 atk speed: -0.75 wound: 8 acc bonus: 55.
Again, I think the drops are just right with the exception of the smuggler loot. I don't thinkanyone but smugglers should be able to hunt mobs that drop this kind of loot.
I'm hoping the intended high-end lootdrop rates and probability of drawing an elite chevron mark are greatest for MBH's.

And what about your weaponsmith loot perhaps only /she/he should be able to loot these too no doubt!

Posted from my reply to another thread.
It is interesting that most people beleive that this is a zero sum game. A lot of the posts I have seen are "BHs got nice loot, it should either be nerfed or everyone should have it".
Excuse me, but prior to CU BHs could not solo Nightsisters, or Gorax, or Krayts or Acklayfor loot.A lot of you other combat professions could do that.
I did not hear crafters complain that a Rifleman/TKM (or other templates)was able to loot any high level mob in the game prior to CU. Now that the BH NPC marks are worth doing, and loot is dropping I do not understand the complaints.
Heck, I saw complaints even on the Jedi forums. They seem to forget that they get a second character slot on the same server. Should we lobby for everyone to get that or have it removed? Fencers and Swordsman would love to have access to Lightsabers as well..
Also, a lot of the posts I have seen here give the impression that the drops are uber on a regular basis. I have run about 20 missions so far (about 5 hours). All I have gotten were Smuggler slicing components and a few BH armor schems. I have yet to loot ANY CAs.
However, if people are running BH missions for HOURS at end, the law of averages will catch up and if anything is droppable, it will drop. I do not think that is bad considering the amount of time and effort involved. You got a much better return on your investment of time, and effort hunting Krayts or Nightsisters or Acklayprior to CU.
I'm just gonna reply to this,.. didnt want to read all pages...
Hey Tanks,..
I for one love the new loot. Ive been a MBH for almost 2 years now and this new loot is like the cherry on top of a CU cake after eating saltine crackers. IMO, the new loot is what a MBH should have. I have ran BH missions for about 12hrs this week and I looted 2 awsome CA's, 5 BH schematics, 5 Mandoframes, Countless smuggler items,and bugs...no complaints here.
I see you mentioned BH's were not able to solo krayts, Gorax, Aklay and such,.. I have to disagree (or atleast be more specific and say MBH's were not able to solo anything) I think a custom BH templete had a chance IMO.
