When, are the other classes in the game going to get something as cool to balance them out. When is my Master Carb or Doctor going to get the free lewtz for playing my class. Seriously this was one of the most retarded changes Ive yet to see in this game.
Nice use of third-grade playground language and grammar here. However, you're the one who shouldget serious. Doctor? You really mean to mention doctors? If I remember correctly, doctors were the ones who could make millions per week on the over-inflated buffs for almost two years of the game's existence while I spent half my playing career running into white marks or marks that were +out of sight+ because their foot was inside a building? Or any of the master combat professions that could lay waste inside the Fort Tusken and farm loot forever. Please.
If I had my token respec left bet my ass I would of switched over to farm the lewtz, this was a realy nice trick SoE pulled on you guys to keep you playing. Long as the checks in the mail they will do whatever stupid stuff like this that they can to keep people hooked. To the SOE Devs I hope some where in the next few pubs you put in spec doc loot where I get random goody bags thrown in my inventory for healing others. !! Or for the carbineers random cl 130 mobs just drop in like the probot droids and have phat lewtz for killing them.
I really don't feel sorry here. If you haven't already made millions in creds being a doc before respec, then you must be a noob and missed the boat. Sorry about that. Go get yourself buffed and run some NPC missions on Dant or Dath and you'll get plenty of your loot. Really, the only thing that we get that you can't get anywhere else except for from Black Sun pirates are bounty hunter armor schems.

how do you farm a bh npc mark? Seems to me i spend a lot of time driving 4km to my mark and occasionally he's in the middle of a house or disappeared altogether....if you like farming go to the aakuan caves
Exactly!
So let's talk about the two above mentioned professions..
Doctors - Oh I'm sorry do yo mean the biggest money maker profession in the game pre-CU? If you don't have money left over from that then you're a fool.
Carbineers - We mean that profession that had the bugged Charge Shot for like 6 months that allowed them to solo Krayt Dragons b/c they could not recover from Knockdown?
Like Warhol said, "everyone has their 15 mins of fame" I'm sure b/c of whinning bastards such as yourself, the loot will be nerfed (because truly what's easier from a dev perspective? Nerf BH loot or rewrite all the loot tables for all the high-end NPCs?) and this will be a flashing the pan example of how cry-babies continue to get their ways in this game.

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.
The whole difference now is that this limitation is done by game design not by the personal skills. And MBH could solo at least NS pre-CU.

MBH could not solo high-end NS before CU. Secondly, by the sheer design of MBH missions, I can obtain just as much good loot running missions in a group of my guildmates in the same amount of time it takes run solo MBH missions. MBH is a solo-play profession by design. Even moreso now that/when NPC missions are only huntable by the bounty hunter and the BH vs. Jedi missions will only be one-on-one. Things seem to be even now.
I'm one of those BH's that like PvE more than PvP. I know...hard to believe...get over it. Anyway, Until this last publish, I would help my brother (ranger) hunt for the hot selling resources and run quests....the same thing anyone can do. Occasionally I would run some NPC bounties when I got bored, but it really was lacking. Until now, I haven't been worried about a mark taking me lower than half health and I knew all that they would drop was credits. That can get boring very fast. Now, there's a reason to take the NPC missions and really use the profession to its fullest. I get anxious wondering if I'mgoing to have a good fight on my hands or if the mark's going to be another pushover. I like looting the corpses....anybody who says they don't either has 4 trillion credits in their bank and everything adk'd, or they're lying. I actually like being a bounty hunter now....instead of being a rifleman with the bounty hunter specials.
Now that I have something other than quests to do, everyone is whining about profession specific loot and the nerf bat. For the love of everything holy, give it a rest. I do wish they'd add content for theother profs...especially smugglers...damn you guys keep getting passed over. I also wish everyone would just play the profs that they chose. It's pointless for me to say this since it's only going to fall on deaf ears anyway, but it had to be said nonetheless. If you don't like your profession, why did you choose it? If you don't like the game, why do you play it? If you think BH's are getting "uber loot" that nobody else can get, you're wrong. We fight 1 NPC at a time and hope we don't get bugs or melons. We have to spend money on 2 types of droids just to hunt that 1 npc at a time. We have to travel so much that we see the loading screen more than any prof guaranteed.It's not a glamorous job, but it has content that noother prof has...which is why I chose it. I haven't looted any SEA's, crystals, uber weapons or BH armorschems yet. I've been lucky enough to only loot 1 jar of bugs, a decent amount of slicing goods (1drop per kill) and some weapon components. Not exactly raking in the millions here. I'm holding onto my slicing stuff until I need something sliced. If a slicer in my guild needs something, I'll give it to him. If I loot an SEA that I can't use, sure I'm gonna sell it...same as anyone else would. I could honestly tell you that I could loot more SEA's from Aukaun missions, but that to me, is boring in comparison.
Basically, my rant is over. Hope you had a good read and if you flamethis, have fun. While you're doing that, I'll beenjoying my profession.
