I sold over 100 mill worth of CA's and AA's last week alone. Not a single one came from an AAukuan Cave or AaKuan MISSION. Those Aakuan Mission in my opinion was worthless to start with. There is so many other things that drop CA's and AA's besides those. Might try getting involved in the GCW. Lots to be had there. There is tons of other places that and tactics that people have not tried yet. Mainly because they was farming these caves and was never setting at there computers. NightSisters Still drop at a good rate, Singing mountain Clan drops at a good rate, marauders drop at a good rate, and All the Slaves from both sides drop at a good rate. Have you tried going out and doing creature missions lately? Again all creatures drop loot now too. Might not be a CA or and AA, but i know personally as an armorsmith i pay 300k+ for the Advanced cores that drop and pay well for the Health bonus plates. Heck take advantage of me and let me buy your CA's for you. Us the moneyI pay you for these loots to buy them or what ever your heart desires. The AaKuans have never been a main source for these for me, to many more interesting places and things to kill and see that give better loot and better chances. Go out and explore some. Enjoy the game again. There is even tons of CL95-CL109 Wild creatures to kill that do not exploit bugs IEEE Dathomir prison. GO to dantooine and explore, there is CL95+ wild spawn Dark Jedi's that are crying to be killed and looted. i always thought the AaKuans was the last on the totem pole anyway.
Thanks

You can't actually loot other players in PvP... and the best things that GCW-related NPCs drop are holocrons which are pretty useless to non-jedi.
If those drop at such a good rate, then why is it that after killing Nightsisters for 4 hours while my friend killed the Mauraders on Endor for 4 hours that the best piece of loot we had was a "Good" Crystal? Is 8 hours total not long enough to get one good loot?
I don't know what server you play on, but on Kauri I have yet to have seen a DJK or DJM wild spawn since the CU was released. I do go out and look for the lvl 111 spawns on occasion, but on average it takes about 15-25mins for me to find a spawn. Also, the loot I get from them usually stinks. I don't know about you, but leather gloves and dh17 pistols doesn't sound like high end loot to me.
Like I said, I'm not sure what server you are on, because thespawns differ. But I have a hard time believing a lot of what you have stated when I have tried them and still try them to this very day. I'm not going to give up, but it certainly is frustrating to see EVERY single creature in this game nerfed (from Krayts to Nightsisters to Aakuans to whatever else comes next to be nerfed).

Consider char transfer then, Gorath not an issue finding DJK/DJM on Dant. NS Rangers dropping at rates very acceptable for how easily they are found. What is wrong with farming Holos selling them and buying what you need. I really hope all the complainers will consider using the one thing they have that no one can take away from them and that is there pocket book.

So your solution is for me to change servers? You must not realize that Force Sensitive and Jedi cannot be transfered at all... and I just happen to be both of those. In any case, I wouldn't even considerleaving the friends I've made just so I could go hunt for some loot.
As for farming Holocrons for a steadyprofit... the only way to do thisis to CAMP the force crystal hunter cave on Dantooine (the weapons development facility on Naboo used to be a good spot, but that was nerfed post-cu). However, since camping is what I think people want to eliminate, I don't really think I should become part of the problem. I would prefer to see fixes to high level NPC loot tables instead. Casual and hardcore gamers alike should be able to grab a (non-bh) high levelmission and have a reasonable chance at a decent loot (I don't mind if bh get better SEA stats or componentson their marks as they take longer, but I still want my shot at something too instead of wandering aimlessly in hopes of seeing a random spawn).
Very acceptable.
Has anyone Grinded to MBH. I know i just have and it is a serious pan in the butt. For invest 3 you are looking at a minimum of 10 hours of Striaght BH missions. and Invest 4 your looking at double that. I am glad BH missions drop good stuff now. it took alot of work to get there. Now they need to make it to where you can get mission from the Elite class trainers. SO all the other skills can get this too. What was going on in the Cave was wronge and needed to be fixed. Peaople can still go to caves. I have a Master Artisian and a Master Armorsmith. I am alwyas looking for resources. Sometimes i spend up to 10 mill a month on resources. so these caves will still make people money.
to get to invest 2 takes generally over an hour
past that, you cna slice bases for 1k a piece, much quicker than missions, back at invest 3 jedi miswsions, mbh was easy, now i suspect it just takes alot of bases, very easy if you can find some

See an option although truly not feasable or desired is offered and all you can do is complain your'e way out of it. The issue is NPC's are in game that offer loot, do you want a tag flying over there head?, or maybe a different color circle to indicate to you that the loot is on them? What happened to the days of meeting at Mos Espa and walking to Tusken Fort, well we moved on beyond those days. So the issue is you have to look for it it may not be laying at your feet when you log on but it is there. It requires no change in templates but it requires gameplay and last I looked this is a game meant to be played.

If an option is not feasible...it's notreally an option then is it because it is no longer a choice I have.
If you read my post correctly you would have noticed that I never asked for special tags on npcs or to not have to look for loot. I asked for the loot tables to be fixed fornpc missions... which would A) still involvetravelling to where the enemy is atand B) not involve special tags. So please don't put words in my mouth about what I may or may not want.
I don't think looting regular clothing or DH17 pistols or health wound packs from high level npcs means things are "working as intended". When is the last time anybody in-game wanted non-tailored clothing, health wound packs or low-level non-crafted pistols? Say they fixed the loot tables so that there was no longer useless loot. Not every loot has to be uber. Smuggler, armorsmith and weaponsmithcomponents are examples of loot that are useful, yet not usually concidered awesome. How about a mix of useful and uber loots on all npc missions?
When a lot of people go out to hunt something, it's for a purpose. My purpose to hunt at this point in time just so happens to be loot. But when I'm forced to delete 99% of the things that fall into my inventory because they have no use, then there isn't much point to logging on my main character. Thank you.
