As this subject seems to be the "flavor of the week", I thought I might weigh in and give everyone the "heads up".
New loot....let me start off by saying how very grateful I am that this has been implemented in the game. I don't wanna get all preachy about how "it's about time"...blah blah blah.
The first thing I'd like to say is that this new loot will be VERY healthy for 3 or 4 professions, and anything that is THAT wide spread has got to be good.
Looking at the loot itself:
Smuggling items....you can't do it yourself, so who are you going to ask? A smuggler no doubt, and that smuggler SHOULD charge you for any slices. Do you have extra slicing componets? Sell them to a smuggler....makes sense, and pretty easy.
Armor schematics....so now we have our "own" armor that doesn't take a full group of Jedi to obtain. If you are bitching about this, you MUST be a Jedi. So you have the schematics....who is going to create it for you....that's right, an Armorsmith. They SHOULD charge you for the cores used as well as simply crafting the armor for you. Have any extra or duplicates...find another BH to see if you can do an exchange for a piece you don't have, or outright sell it to an armorsmith.
CAs and AAs....they are not ALL Jedi specific...and may help MANY other professions. If there is in fact a huge "surplus" in most all of these items...well that's good. You still make a buck and someone else won't get taken to the cleaners for a mere +6 CA.
Force Crystals? Hell, that's up to the BH. Personally, on my server, many Jedi have "established factions" and actually some personal grudges. With the new BH terminals faction ability, I no loger hunt Jedi of the same faction. So what will I do...IF I can, I will sell my loot to Jedi of the same faction. Chances are though that the Jedi will either NOT need it, or have another means to obtain it anyway. This kind of mitigates most if not ALL Jedi specific loot obtained from BH NPCs.
Bottom line:
I won't be selling much, if any, of my loot. I want to keep my slicing components for future armor and weapons. Even if I obtain 200 of ALL slicing components...it will only be to ensure I can slice another full set of armor or the new scatter I just bought. This new loot is a "means to an end" for me. It will make me a more effective MBH then I was before the loot, that's for sure. As well, i cannot actually USE any of it on my own, so it effects other professions as well. I think it's a great new addition.
This are looking up for the BH profession. Droids have FINALLY been fixed, Armor will always decay, weapons are getting better everyday, BHs should always use food AND spices. Buffs can still be the deciding factor in many Jedi encounters. That's a total of 8 different professions that are needed in order a MBH to hunt a Jedi....the new loot gives MORE content to 4 of them, how can this be bad?
Please don't complain about this new loot in the off chance that the Devs are vindictive......or at least wait till I get 3 full suits of BH armor all with the AB slice.
Thanks.

well said. Basically loot is good. For anyone that has ever seen teh pre CU world and the amount of either riflemen or swordsmen out there the ammount of BHs hunting loot is nothing.

Yep, its a really good idea, shame I cant get any *cry*
I feel ya....
On one hand I've looted more armor slicing items then anything else...no awesome CAs, no "mind crystals", no weapons. Just bugs and Mando, Reactive, and 2 armor schems.
Then I think...."You know, last week this stuff wasn't even an option". I shut myself up rather quickly.
