The marks are not too easy, I spent 30 minutes last night fighting a gold chevron boss mark, and I beat him by about 300 HP and spent the last half of the fight trying to keep enough action to keep duelist up.
I think for some templates it will be easier than for others. But to make them harder and to put loot only on the boss marks will end up forcing everyone into 1 or 2 templates, causing less diversity in the game.
If you want it harder, then here's what you do.. Go MBH/Msmuggler. and a bit of healing in medic. And enjoy a real challenge.
And with a bit of luck you'll pull a mob close to what I faced. And if your REALLY lucky, you'll get one that spams knockdown the entire fight and have some REAL fun trying to keep your action up with having to use Knockdown Recovery during the entire fight.
Not even all Boss Marks are created equal folks.

i think the people who claim they are easy, probably arent talking about the same kind of mark which the ones having trouble are on about, so to say they are easy and etc is a bit much. If you think they're too easy forget about loot and go after a jedi
There's no way they are. The boss marks I keep encountering have 30k hams, double gold chevrons, and an incredibly insane regen rate. The regen rate is so good on these guys that my basic shot does nothing more than keep their health bar from going up. In order to drop it, it takes specials, DOT's, and everything else I've got in my aresenal as a MBH/Msmuggler.
I also want to add that this is the kind of loot drop rates that people experience in other MMORPG's and there's no way this needs to be nerfed. Instead the developers need to bring up the rest of the loot drop rates to this level and fix the loot tables.
SW:G has ALWAYS had a crappy loot-drop rate. Asking for it to be nerfed now is just totally rediculous and is brought about by people who simply want to continue to see Pearls/Crystals/CA's AA's going for rediculously insane prices.

most of 'em are easy. had a couple give me some trouble. one incapped me twice, he was dealing massive damage and had crazy regen.
3rd attempt on him i had my med droid out tanking, necked all the foods i owned, put every MCM state and DoT on him, duelist and knockdown recovery macro going, blind and dizzy on him, still having to heal for every 4 shots he fired... just managed to finsih him off before he incapped me.
whaddaya know.
jar of bugs
U need better armor then.
Got reb battle armour with 6280/6280 Kin/Eng. Best I can wear with my current template. Like I said most boss mobs I can take down no probs with the droid, duelist, a couple of foods and a very nice 1041 max dam elite carb pupped to 62 for sac. this guy was just crazy though, his damage and regen were insane, probably twice what other bosses i've seen had. eventally switched to HL Rifle to keep out of range of his carbine... wish I could have looted that

QFE
I've never been incaped by a boss mark but some of the double gold bosses are incredible tough 608 damage everyshot constant kd's. With duelist stance I was able to bring it down to 560 per shot. Fortunitly I have guildwar going so I have all pvp foods/drinks ready to go. It was a good fight he challenged me in a way no npc in the game has. He was even nice enough to drop me some nice powercells.
Before anyone thinks its my equipment its not cause i'm running with 948 (capped) 71sac scatter 6200 battlearmor, +45 in pistol/gen ranged speed. Now that i'm done bragging but I need to so I can get my point across. I could agree with beefing up some of the low powered npcs and maybe even make the monster one I dealt with spawn more often. But if you increase the difficulty even more you are gonna end up with lots of double gold bosses that only 5-10% of the people can handle.
