15 gorax slain... 4 delicate trigger assemblies and 1 stack of 5 mediocre shards.

It seems that loot is only dropping on certain mobs. Like Krayts dropping smuggler and tissue, gorax as mentioned above, akuans as mentioned above.
Anything else just seems to be dropping junk IF anything at all.
I myself have killed a couple hundred Faction NPC's and got ONE crappy 2 strap bandolier (no mods) and nothing else but creds!
Used to be able to get a CA or AA now and then from faction NPC's but now it seems they drop nothing.
The loot table has been horribly screwed up. This just further reinforces my view that the DEV's of this game are incompetent and have no idea at all how the entire game will be affected when they change something.

I looted an AA yesterday from Aa'kuan missions. Only did a few missions and got it. They're still dropping, just not ridiculously anymore.

When I load in now, as a fully temped Jedi and completed alt character, there are two main things that I am interested in doing.
PvP and Adventuring for Cool Loot
However, now when I want to go adventuring for cool loot I can not think of a single place I'd like to go or a single thing I'd like to do. I litterally stood at the star port the other night for about 45 min staring at the various planets going over in my head the places to go. Used to be some cool stuff on endor. Not so much any more. Since fighting NS takes forever and yeilds very little, thats pretty much out. The Aukkan cave is camped beyond belief. Can only hunt so many krayts before that becomes boring. They don't drop much and have a tendency to 'retreat' everytime I get the upper hand.
So now, what is there left for me? I'm not tired of my characters or my guild. I enjoy the game mechanics (the ones that aren't broken) but there really doesn't seem to be any decent loot to go adventuring for.
Loot is a KEY aspect of RPGs in general! RPGs are all about characters and loot, and right now SWG is seriously seriously hurting on loot.

the majority of this post i have cut/paste from a reply I mad yesterday, but thought i would post it here to try and keep all the info together
I thought i had the worst luck in SWG for loot,until recently !!
butin last 24 hours i have looted
a trando rifle barrel from the 'boss' trando that spawns as part of the syren quest
a jetpack base from a random spawn blacksun on yavin (first one ever for me in a LOT of tryin!)
2 real nice CA ,3 real nice AA (and 2 not so good aa) and 1 akuaan ring from 2 hours running lvl 82 akuaan missions (all 3 decent AA's dropped from champions and both CA dropped from sentinals)
the day before i run akuaan missions for 3 or 4 hours and got roughly the same loot
but the previous time i tried akuaans (3 or 4 days ago) i spent 3 hours and got nothing but chem recycler schematics, robes,belts, rings (unmodded), bracelets and datapad parts.
i think loot is all about luck or some other hidden variable, sometimes its good, sometimes bad
I havnt tried DJ or DJK for a while, but a friend that does regularly (random spawns on Dant)tells me that the high-end CA/AA do still drop, just at a lower rate, but only 'good' crystals now drop
the crystal/pearlqualityis something i agree has to change, its putting newer jedi (or those without mega-millions in the bank) at a serious disadvantage.
Also, another mate regularly hunts krayts (generally for a few hours after server reset, as they seem to stop spawning after a while, possibly caused by the high amount of faction bases on Tat in general and around the graveyard POI specifically, on my server). She is getting loads of smuggler tools as well as various tissues (ranging from poor to great quality). She estimates about a 1 in 3 drop rate and doesnt kill canyons or grands, or the static spawn.
I used to love NS hunting on Dath but the loot drops on these seem very poor now considering the time taken to kill them.
Also recently spent about 2 hours killing sith on dath to obtain some datapads for a guildy doing the phase 3 quest. During this time i looted 1 CA (+9 chassis experimentation and 1 other crappy mod) and 1 AA (think was +6 or +7 gen ranged accuracy and some other crap) as well as a couple of crappy lances
Also out of the last 6 corvette runs completed (loot runs only, not killing NPC's neutral rescue mainly) i have found 2 powerplants, 1 marine armour chestplate (100/100 condition, seems to be classed as clothing) a few bantha dolls and various crappy stun batons/rykk baldes/laser rifles. have yet to get a berserker schem or barrel since the CU (im guessing around 30 runs minimum)
