Loot
- Giant Canyon and Krayt Ancient Dragons should drop pearls at their normal drop rate
- Nightsisters should drop crystals at their normal drop rate
- Fixed a problem with all high-end loot drop rates
Has this been verified and checked today? Just didn't read a reference to the newest patch in the diatribe.

Yes, I am saying that.

I disagree with you obi. There must be a little more seperation. I have never, ever looted a CDEF pistol off a night sister, and I have never looted a base night sister lance off a meatlump. Somewhere, somehow, there is a differentiation between mobs. Elders probably have a 25% crystal, 25% credits, 1% uber loot, 25%basic NS/SMCtable, 20% warm hat loot table, 4% almost uber NS/SMC table.
While i totaly agree with your "uber loot bin" idea, I do not think it applies to pearls and crystals. There could be tons and tons of people out at the graveyard, or there could be no one. Pearls were pretty close to 1 in 4. Same with elders. It didn't matter what time of day, elders were pretty consistent with a 25% drop rate. Same with Nyax. He seemed to be pretty close to 1 in 4. The thing is, tissues, nothing, grenades, and scales seemed to be on a 1 in 4 drop rate as well.
If it is a simple thing like "oops, we deleted the pearl/crystal/nyax loot table" how come it is so hard to fix it? Why are the devs having such a devil of a time, and how come they are putting broken versions of it into test center, then into live? Hmmmm. Sounds like you are missunderestimating them.
Actually, elders were 1 in 10. If you..hrum..."milked" an elder spawn, you would get 1 crystal every 10 elders you killed. Tried tested and true.
2. I killed 7 giant Krayts today. Only tissues and segments were looted.

Ah, I see. Then perhaps the conspiracy theories are all true! Just reading through the "14.0 Issues" thread had 20-30 people so far confirming the non-fixed state of loot...
The thing is, what can we do about it? mmmmm
- Player placed gardens should no longer register themselves on the planetary map
Loot
- Giant Canyon and Krayt Ancient Dragons should drop pearls at their normal drop rate
- Nightsisters should drop crystals at their normal drop rate
Ya thats what they said they fixed before. So guess they goofed it up and are going to fix it again or they forgot to fix it the first time?? *shrug* Obviously their internal bug tracking is extremely poor.

What I am saying, is don't missumderestimate the devs. Ya, sure, of course it is a bug. Sure, it is taking 3 weeks to fix because the devs are just a bunch of stupid high school drop outs who type with their index fingers one letter at a time. So, while we are all buisy hyperventelating over the utter incompetence of the devs, they are "laughing all the way to the bank" so to speek.

Many people will assume its incompetence. I really don't think thats the case at all.
It could easily bedue to beaucracy. Have you seen Office Space or read Dilbert?

Oh, btw Mil, before you go slamming the devs for their incompetence, try getting your own competence correct. Hyperventelating? Speek??Or were you typing with your index finger and confused the "e" key for the "i" key like some stupid high school drop-out?
Soryyou cann't reedmi crapi speling. Never Has ben arele strong point. While I go back to spelling class, you should go back to your compreehenshun class. Somewhere in all them words I describe why I think the devs are extremely smart and competent. They are stupid like a Dubbya. I guess if you think Dubbya is stupid, this really wouldn't make much sense to you. I'll break it down for you. Dubbya = smart even though people think he is stupid. Devs = smart even though people think they are stupid. You Savvy?
Shame on you for disrespecting high school dropouts by comparing them to me 
. What did they ever do to you?
