Well, in this case, I'm not sure what the problem would be. Endor and Lok lack 'high level npcs'......meaning normal lootsare supposed to becargo pockets and locked containers, that aren't rare or super valuable items. Where good loot tends to be expected is found from Nightsisters and Black sun mobs, and even then, it is still rare to get a good item.
It is probably just bad luck (no Halloween pun intended) that you are turning up empty handed today. Maybe you should be fortunate...the money they are droping probably is worth more than the mediocre items that could possibly be dropping

After going to genosian with a friend last week and killing evevrything in there, including acklay,(nobody else there believe it or not !) and not looting anything, and I mean anything at all, I am now very suspicious of loot table problems. There was a patch that supposedly fixed the problem, and in the case of the siths I did notice for 24 hrs a marked improvement in looting of 'stuff' such as interesting weapons etc - worthless, but interesting and fun to get. That improvement only seemed to last 24 hrs or so until the next patch and yesterday non resource loot was again missing. Today, getting bugger all after 6 hours makes me think that loot tables are again screwed up, there may be some exception made for nightsisters but the rest is broken again.
Oh and by the way, black suns come from endor and there are also super battle droids floating about.

This morning I killed around 10 or 11 juvy krayts(right after server restart), an looted two quality pearls, 6 +47 tissues, set of 10, 7, and 8 comp segments. Also looted 4 crystals from tuskens, and 1 orange adhesive. All within 4 hours of server restart.
Nothing since. It is very random, and has really no pattern. For me, looting is half the fun of the kill. Ever since the original FF on the NES, killing and looting is what I have lived for. I am looting more than I was since patch 11 initially became active, but no where near pre patch 10 levels.

This might be a bit off topic ( or just scratching on the edge) but the real problem , seems to be the lack of spawns ... yesterday i spent 3 hours on dathomir , around NS stronghold ( 2klm radius) searching for elders ... NADA ... Every time i or my friend used tracking we got ZERO NS npc... just stupid sith. I know that jtl is the new babe for the game , but leaving all the rest to "die" doesnt feel right. Hope im just wrong and i was just unlucky and that there are plenty of spawns ( as it used to be ), but taking into account that exactly after the failed elder hunt i spent 2 hours on tat searching for krayts ( and guess what .. no krayt spawns either ) and finding nothing made me mad ... there isnt a worse thing that spending 5 hours doing practicaly nothing... its another thing to not get good loot , and a whole different to not get the loot droppers ...

Is anybody else having the same problem ?
Ive been killing high level npc's for hours now on endor and lok and havent looted ANYTHING but cash. The count must be well into the hundreds by now for nothing. Looks like SOE have decided the ground game no longer counts and doesnt want our money anymore. Thanks very much !

yep same results for me, 11 elders and 1 ns queen and i looted 1 set of base ns shards and one awful pike.
as for other ns all ive gotten is crystals and very very low end items (like locked containers). Lots of posts on this issue with no response from devs. I'm likley going to cancle my account.

Have fun canceling your account because you took chances killing something but came up empty handed. I prefer games where lootingrare items is a rarity.

Im waiting for a dev to post on this issue I think it will be along the lines of this kind of comment
(Sorry SWG players we know the loot table is messed up today but its halloween and we have to go treat-o-treating tonight but we will try and fit it in sometime in the next 2 weeks cause we plan on getting lots of candy,plus we have thumbed through subscription reports and alot of peoples accounts end around the 15th of November so we will have loot tables fixed by at least the 14th so please be patient Thx:smileyhappy

this is not about rare or super valuable items - this is about looting nothing off hundreds of high level npc's. 1 cargo pocket and 1 locked container is not normal. In the past there would always be bettr odds than 1 in 100 for a crap item.
