Great!
Just what I need. High Quality resources to come from loot. Something hard, which I can't get to or kill, because I'm a wookiee, no armor, and a support class, so no offensive skill.
Think that we can make MU90 850+ buffs for sale after this? Doubtful
Think that CM's can make uber poisons after this? Doubtful
Think that your favorite armorsmith can make uber resist armor after this? Doubtful
Every time I begin to enjoy this game, SOE finds a way to quash it. Way to go SOE, way to listen to your correspondents, way to listen to your customers.
/sigh
/shakehead
Whatever - I started this game as my first and only MMPORG, mainly because I like the SW Universe. I never thought I'd say it, but the Star Wars Universe, at least as envisioned by SOE, SUCKS!
Yet, I'm addicted, so enjoy my money SOE while it lasts... at least until another company that cares about its customers and their opinions and their impact on the game comes along, then watch your Astromech stats and see how many of us jump ship.
Already the best crafted items in this game don't come from hard work by players, they come from schematics and parts looted by mob drops. I heard horror stories from friends who played EQ about static loot spawns being camped.... Well, welcome to EQ in Space.

This will affect every crafter and every item. Read it, and prepare yourself... With SOE's track record, we can complain all we want, it won't matter. The nerf bat is coming to you, and you, and you (ad nauseum).

I admit I did not read through the entire post due to the size of it but your statement of "high quality resources coming from loot"is from where? I have not seen that listed anywhere as far as changes go.
I understand the crafting changes and that high quality resources are going to be a bigger factor in end product but i am lost on your statement about resources coming from loot
please clarify
thanks

At the end of the link I posted (at least until more replys are posted) there is a quote... let me see if I can cut and paste it, since I can't seem to quote previous posts...

Just because TH is going for something, doesn't mean the devs will do it, like it, or even consider it.
TH brings stuff that players wants to the devs, he is a Community Rep. The designers and programmers can and do turn him down on many issues.

I remember a long time ago the developers said they intended for the best items in the game to be player-crafted, not loot drops. I sincerely hope they do not (and doubt that they will) decide to change this to any extreme.

Just out of curiousity.... what do you consider Janta blood to be? Effectively it's a high end resource that's a loot drop.
Man.... are you guys drinking too much coffee or what? I'm amazed how people get so emotionally charged over a simple comment that doesn't have anything supporting it.
I'm just waiting for the day TH posts something like, "Yeah I like Capt. Crunch." 10 minutes later there'll be a post saying, "DOCTOR'S IN PERIL, TH HATES SOGGIES!!!!!"
To the orignal poster... I'm not trying to slam you... just tease you a little. 
Take deep breaths. As Tragius said, at this point it's just a mere idea... doesn't mean that because TH is pushing for it that it'll get implemented. Not to mention we already have loot items that far exceed what we can ever craft. I'll never make an ABEC as good as Janta Blood... I don't care how quality the resources are. Same with ALL the component drops like Krayt Tissues, Rancor Bile, Night Sister Shards, etc. So even if they do add rare resources as loot drops... it really won't be that different than rare finished component drops that we have now.

Try making that statement on the CH boards. 
You'll learn the true meaning of 'flamed'

It isn't always the players IN a profession that get listened to...
Tehre is a lot of voerall stuff and game balance in here. We currently getm ore votes and dev time out of any other game out there... We can't have everything we want... even if it does fit into the big picture.
I'm not a loot oriented guy myself... but it is a factor of keeping the loot oriented guys in the game I guess =/
Even the loot lovers think tht a lot of the Geo cave stuff is whacked... I'm not sure what it is like after they whacked it... but it should not be so scary.
