Thx for the info Tanks.


You can solve this problemby simplytaking away the novice level loot farmers ability to draw boss marks and greatlyreducing their chances of drawing an elite mark. I'd alsosuggestredesigning loot dropsforall 3 types ofmarks.


1)Boss marksdrop mid-high end SEAs and lootlike powercells.


2)Elite marksdrop low-midrangeSEAs and loot.


3)Regular marksdrop slicing components andcrystals etc.


4)Give MBHsahighprobability of drawing elite andboss marks.


5) Give Investigation 3 - 4a low andmoderateprobabilityof drawingboss andelitemarks respectively.


6) GiveInvestigation novice - 2 a very low probability of drawing elite marks only.

I'm a master BH and I think this is crazy. People are so loot-greedy in this game, it's stupid.

    Yes, you may have to do some travelling, but the fight isn't any harder for you than it is for us.

      First of all, Duelist Stance gives melee Defense, and all the cl 82's I've come across have been ranged so it benefits nothing, secondly, the time that it takes a dabbler/novice bh to take bounty missions and farm loot is fractionally what it takes a MBH to run a mission hoping for loot. No boss has looted anything other than smuggler parts for me in the last 5 days. Why should dabblers and novices be able to pull missions and get the same chance of looting high end loot at a faster rate than the master profession? The loot tables should be based on the amount of investigation so that the profession actually means something, not for every loot hungry dabbler to come along and farm out loots so they get nerfed to hell and back. Its the attitude of loot farmers and their greed that gets the loot nerfed not those who advocate for the high end loots to be gathered by those who've actually mastered professions. I advocate that all high end loots should be fixed not just bounty hunter loots, but since this is the BH forum, this is my main concern here.

      I'll throw my6 2 cents in and say that I agree with the OP on this thread. While the Inv 3+ mission do give anywhere from 20-30K in cash, it still does not justify that fact that a Novice BH can get the same exact loot at an ALARMINGLY faster rate then a MBH can. No BH of NBH - Inv 2 should be getting elite or boss marks. None. Elite marks should be reserved for Inv 3+ and Boss marks should be reserved for MBH only.

      I, personally, am sick of seeing people complain that calls for balance are referred to as "nerf". If you can't see that this isn't right, then you are the nub. Short sighted and stumpy.


      Rewards should always follow progression level/then CL. And by having them take a hard look at the loot tables for us, they may take the time to work out the rest. Everyone is calling for a Loot revamp and this is something that is appropriate.


      If you are a MBH why do you care? It won't hurt you in any way, shape or form. If it slows the loot ho0rs and makes them actually finish the profession for the better loot then good.


      If you don't feel this is fair then go back to grinding on Aakuan missions on Talus and leave the BH makes alone.

      summary, MBH missions take much longer then NBH missions therefore they should get much better loot.


      is it me or does it sound like a, 'jedi takes much longer then MBH therefore they should be much stronger.


      question should this loot be limited to MBH only, or shold all NPC missions have bosses that drop at the same rate? it is not fair that no other class can pull in this loot at the same rate as a MBH. so nerf the drops to the same rate as say killing NSs or level 80 aakuans. that would be fair.


      i think this is a he shouldnt get more then me, i want more then him post. if you want the better loot, go NBH, if you want to be a MBH dont whine. to paraphrase a common rephrain: you knew MBH NPC marks were off-planet when you took MBH.

      Yes,this isnt fair to the master bh's that run all over the galaxy to get there marks for loot.


      As of right now a novice bh over level 75 can just run missions in cnet and stay in cnet,and loot consistently much faster w/ easier marks.


      Please decrease the drop rate for lower levels and the drop rate should increase with mark difficulty,this farming is getting really hurting the master bh's becuase the market is getting flooded w/ loot that we work much harder for.

      Yes this is a whine,but its not right that we have to spend 3 times as much time for the same loot drop ratio as someone that can stay in the same city as a novice.They should be getting loot,but not at the same rate as a master bh.

      Not all of us want to hunt jedi. I for one, hate jedi with a passion, and feel that if I hunt them, they'll see themselves as needed. I don't need them. The last thing I want to do is help their heads swell.

      its just sad that we now have the best loot available to us in-game, but yet still, 3/4 of the posts are about how someone didn't get the uber enhanced power cells or jedi ca, so they think loot has been nerfed or want it nerfed as this poster is asking. for once, MBH means something since the CU came out. I mastered it first thing in-game about 1 year ago and have stuck with it ever since.


      so like I said before, if you can't handle chasing after your mark, drop some skills to a lower invest line and grind them out that way. if not, the /respec to another proff please. WE DON'T NEED TO BE NERFING OUR OWN PROFFESION!
