Obviously TH is not gonna post any info in here... they NEVER post in the "Feedback" threads!
But... here goes...
Did I locate a Junk Dealer in the Main Guild Hall??? I've been playing a year and I've NEVER found a Junk Dealer in a Guild Hall... but I found a Junk Dealer and got a kit.
Have I tried to complete it? I've killed over 1000 NPC's of varying difficulties since the Patch, although I didn't go to the Corvette or DWB w/ an Army... you know how many pieces I've got?? ONE... and it's not for the Kit that I have!
In the past couple of weeks, I've played a lot and haven't been able to find many either. I've asked the team to look at the spawn rates and I'm hoping we'll be able to get thoseadjusted soon.
I was doing Janta/Mokk missions in a solo group and was averaging about 1 million in credits for each piece (found a total of 3 in one day). I found considerably more force crystals than loot pieces.
Now, tell us why we would want to sell these completed (10 pieces?) loot kits back to the junk dealer for 1k? Especially when I'll probably earn over 10 million in credits before I get one completed!

If you camped a spawn for a whole day, you would be lucky to find 1.

Don't you (the DEVs) think, we are tired to hear this all the time?
Why aren't you able to get ANYTHING working for the first time?
If it does not work, why do you publish it?
What are your payed tester doing? They had to notice, that they do not find anything after playinga week...

yep - i'm positive they can... but I think the issue everyone's concerned about is the drop rate... i mean i understand that too...
I mean... Crystals dropa LOT more frequently than loot kit items.
Unfortunately beacuse the drop rate is so low... pieces are being sold at exhorbitant hich prices...
