With the normal seekers not being able to locate a mark on Kashyyk, how about this... Advanced Seeker Droids that have better capabilities at locating a marks DNA signature even on a heavily populated world as Kashyyyk. Still don't understand why a normal seeker can't find a specific bio sig there but if that's the case then a new droid such as this should be a possibility. Either as a schematic drop from the BH npc missions or a new quest type of mission from Boba Fett. What do my fellow BHs think?

The waypoint system cannot handle instances. Its not a design decision not to let seekers work on Kashyyyk, its an attempt to cover up a bug and not having to revamp the waypoint system to fix it. This revamp that would be needed seems to have a very low priority. No matter what you ask for, droids not working on Kashyyyk is the "fix" to a bug and SOE wont fix the same bug twice.

This is true.

However, I think the least they could do is tell where they are (no exact WPs). Kachiro, Etyyy hunting grounds, Hracca Glades, Rraytt trail, Khowir forest, and Myyydril caverns. Each of these areas have their own specific identifier. It would not be hard to do this. It could say, "Due to immense amount of lifesigns, exact waypoint cannot be given. However, the target is located within: [where they are]."

That wouldn't be so hard, and it would fix a pretty huge flaw in Kashyyyk.

The only reason this type of fix is low priority is that it would be a negative for Jedi. We all know SOE wants to protect their Jedi players to ensure they are happy and continue paying to play. They've thrown BHs a bone with the new loot system on NPCs. But is it a coincidence that the more loot we go after the less we hunt Jedi??

Which is the same reason why the terrible crystal / pearl drops have been on their "to do, but won't get done until much, MUCH later," list, right?

... not to forget to mention the design decision to get rid of Lightsaber Damage and make regular armor resistant to LS therefore.

How about we get to blow them up too like in ESB?
