The fact of the matter is however that it clearly states in the publish notes that the quality of loot is supposed to be directly paralleled with the level of the Bounty Hunter, which is just not the case. Non-elite marks should not drop elite loot, period. The system is defined as to reward Master Bounty Hunters with much better loot because they have to face elite marks and lower level's do not. It is an extremely simple concept.
If you start pulling on that thread...the entire rug is going to come apart...
The loot tables are already out of whack, so this surprises who? If the good loot drops for all BH, it is probably because they can't make it skill box based at the moment....
So, the proposed nerf is going to screw all BH.

And it's not one that should matter to anyone. I've been a Master BH for a long, long time - and I don't give a damn about what some noivce BH is getting. Good for them - we didn't get ANY loot when I mastered it.
If they want to tweak it some time, great - as long as it doesn't hose us. But I wouldn't trust them to get it right later if they didn't get it right already. Personally, there are higher priorities that need attention first.That is also a really simple concept.

Oh so you know what is going to happen? No, you don't. Quit making baseless assumptions and posting them as fact. The notes say MBH's are to get elite marks with elite loot, not novice bounty hunters just starting out facing low level marks. If the system is currently not working, then you change it to the way it is supposed to be.

It does not matter what you think of the system, it is a matter of what the system is supposed to be. Again, it is not your opinion on the matter that we are arguing here, but what is clearly said in the publishing notes that is not currently happening. Cause & Effect. Read up on it sometime.

What's "baseless" is your assumption that they'll get it right on this try, when they failed before.
Going by their track record, it's highly unlikely that they'll get it right, but very likely that they'll screw up something else unintentionally.
The only FACT about which you should concern yourself is that YOU are getting the loot that YOU are supposed to. Stop worrying about nerfing "the other guy".

...and you do?
I do know this...if you cry about something in this game, eventually it gets worse for just about everyone. Instead of being happy about the loot, certain people would rather complain because they didn't get the loot, and they are simply jealous.
Where did I post "baseless" assumptions? Have you been around this forum for awhile? Have you checked the Publish notes lately? I would say that past history is a pretty good base for my assumptions.

The last time they screwed up something unintentionally, the community as a whole complained. I see the same exact thing happening if they start screwing around with what they shouldn't be, especially regarding how vocal this part of the forum is. I am NOT getting the loot that I am SUPPOSED to be getting. Do you want to trade the bugs I got off of a CL 82 with the two-handed LS speed +13 CA you got off a CL 72?
I didn't think so.

I have never looted a great CA like that off of any mark. Last time I checked, loot wasn't guaranteed to anyone. Keeping it random actually keeps it fair...and spreading it out also makes it fair.

Riiiight. So would you care to tell me how this issue has made it through TWO publishes unchanged? You presume too much importance. Are you going to cancel your account because of what someone else is looting?
Well, since I haven't seen a mark below CL81 since the new system, and I've gotten plenty of SEAs off them (nine in the last 60 missions), I'd say that you're lobbying for a change based not upon patch notes, but upon your own bad luck.
