Although you increases loot kit drops adhesives are still rare as hell. Like i understand rare but when your offering a million to a million and a half and no one answers it is horrible. Even when Av-21's were out you ould get them for that price. Increase loot adhesive drops

We need the drop rate for ADHESIVE UPPED !
People tend to sell theirs for MILLIONS, was this intended?

MINOR ISSUE WITH THE LAST PATCH AND THIS ONE
okay so i been playing about a year now and for the longest time we never used the junk dealers. why. because if we got crappy weapons we just sell if for a 100 credits to a smuggler. or delete the rest of the stuff. so i see this message about adding loot kits that you can get from junk dealer. i think hey this is great their gonna make junk dealers useful for once.
i was wrong. what do you we get loot kits for loot that is supposed to be a serious of junk to make one big peice of junk to sell to a junk dealer for more then what he gives us for garbage. okay thats cool. makes a junk dealer a part of the game again right? wrong.
now we have loot that drops rarer then force crystals. okay so devs increase the drop rate. i still get more force crystals then loot kit items. why does this bother me. here is my reason. force crystals drop so much now that they have replaced the junk you get off of spawns. so price drops okay thats reasonable since they are actually a useful item in the game and relevant to a profession.
loot kit items: still drop less then force crystals. are supposed to be junk items but now sell for almost as much as the force crystals sold for. adhesives selling from anywhere from 200k to 1mil. ITS JUNK WHY ARE WE PAYING SO MUCH? i think you devs should make junk junk. not some rare item that once i put together i can turn around and sell for a 1mil. make it what it was supposed to be. items that you sell to a junk dealer.
how is that possible. drop it as much as cdef weaons, head wraps, stone knives. make it something that we can actually get so tired of we do sell it to a junk dealer. the rest of the swg population may not like what i have to say but you know i wanted to try the loot kit out and now my inventory is getting clogged with force crystals and skill attachments. i almost wish i could sell those to a junk dealer lol

I like my blue rug a lot, though I would have preferred to get it through a miniquest or somesuch vice the extended slaughter of hapless inferiors. It is so trivially easy to AFK farm meatlumps that sometimes you have to run circles around a city to find a spot.. the whole notion of camp-farming is borked.
If, on the other hand, the environment were smart enough to decerase the spawn rate or shift the spawn spot adaptively if a spot were being camped, only to increase it elsewhere.. now that would eliminate a lot of the idiotic farming.
But that would be a 'dynamic environment'. Har.

ok, i'm working on trying to get a rug put together. i started it when the kits just came out. now i want to know does adhisive really exist? think about it. also why is the only place to get loot kit items around corellia, it's like that on valcyn. you have everyone camping the loot spots. going off when someone else trys to kill something in hopes of getting an item. hmm, sounds fair to me. someone on the devlopement team should get a clue. do you guys even try toe get some of these thing you put out? it's actually turning into a joke.
please fix the adhesive loot drop, and the loot locations

I've now collected about 13 adhesives. The average is about 45 hours of meatlump farming per adhesive. Average sale price of 3Mil. Rare enough they sell for the same as Krayt Pearls and you can get them in your spare time with little chance of dieing. Yeah I died once to meatlumps when I let my weapon go do zero condition. LOL!
I slayed thousands of nightsisters including 80 elders and over 300 protectors and never got loots even close to this good. Very unbalanced!

I believe any npc can drop them including the meatlumps/ragtags I slaughtered. It would also seem that the loot chance is the same so you have just as good of a chance getting them from a meatlump as you do from a nightsister elder. Simple logic tells you which is best to hunt if the goal is getting these kits completed.

Nice addition to the game. Don't really know how so many people haven't been able to get some pieces after killing a hundred or so NPCs. I got two pieces while doing some relaxed grinding outside of Restuss (sp?) in a couple hours & one fromsomeone near the Rebel Outpost on Rori. Increasing the drop rate would be cool, especially if there were a lot of differentkits you could make.
BTW, I was scanning the forums a couple nights ago & ran across one in the tailor forum (why I was there, i don't remember), but one of the things I read on their "wish-list" of changes was that they felt loot kits excluded crafting professions & that they should be incorporated with some profession....yea, don't do this please.

Ive pretty much given up on loot kits due to the adhesives now changing hands for about 2m each...the people getting richer are those who afk kill meatlump spawns, and most of the people collecting these kits dont have the money to buy them.
Ive collected only ONE adhesive since this came out, and ive exterminated countless NPC's...got about 100 other kit parts, and tons of other stuff...but I can get Krayt pearls solo easier than adhesive and I refuse to pay 2m to a mob camper.
Please fix it devs.

Were you able to locate the Junk dealer in the main guild hall?
Have you tried to complete a loot kit?
I have tried to complete two loots kits, one with each of my characters on Gorath. My main character, Moonstar, has the Gong Kit and my alt chracter, Joani, has the Blue Rug kit. I found collecting the items fun and some what exciting. A nice change of pace from the usual random, somewhat useless, drops. However ... with both characters the only item I have left is the Adhesives. On the Gorath server they drop so rarely people are selling them for an upwards of 2 million or in some cases more. I myself can not afford 2 million for glue, which for me would be times 2. I did like it when you increased the drop rate of these items but the adhesive is the last item for a few people I have spoken with.
Will this GLUE (adhesive) ever be a craftable item or will you finally increase the drop rate on it too and not jsut the other items.
PS I am sorry if this is a repeat of another response there were too many to read. I feel sorry for TH having to read all of them.
