I totally and heartily agree!
Once you've reached full-template, there's nothing much to do except new quests and try to find cool loot. Stuff that can be bought is not a challenge, anyone can save enough to buy almost anything that isn't rare.
Funny thing you didnt say PvP...
Not everybody likes to PVP
/yawn! Every patch a few people have an unlucky loot run (we've all had them..85 consecutive Black Suns and NO armour piece pre-cu for me!) come here and say the looting is broken.
Arkuuan Champion missions (not the caves)this afternoon on Talus.. cl78.. looted an AA with General Melee Acc +11 and 1h Weapon Acc +6 on my 3rd kill. Killed 30-40 more, just junk loot and creds.
Pretty much identical to how it was 2-3 weeks ago when I was doing it then (got a nice +9 LS speed ca during 2-3 days of it)
I agree with the original poster, MORE mobs (missions and wild spawns NOT static CAMPED poi's) need to drop better loot, but I can assure you thatthe Arkuuans all over Talus are still dishing it out if you pay them a visit

Thats the problem 4 CA's / AA's in over 3 weeks, this btw is with 20 people ( on and off ) throughout the day running auk missions
The point is that you would think that you should loot something good once out of a 100 kills...not a jar of foraged bugs

I'm trying to run semi-official tests at the moment, on each mob type in the game. I believe that there may be something wrong with the loot tables, possibly since the new BH missions were introduced.
For example, today 3 of us spent about 45 minutes killing and looting 35 NS Stalkers and 3 NS Sentinels. For our trouble, we looted 1 vibro lance with 500 max dmg, 2 NS lances and 3 NS shards with +5 health. All mobs were CL85. To compare, 4 days ago I went out solo and killed 6 NS Stalkers; from them I received 2 crystals, 1 mandalorian intaframe and 1 vibro lance.
Yup the loot is crap atm , infact its so bad that im about to buy myself a new ( non SOE ) MMO

/agreed. They need to take an entire publish and do nothing but fix the loot tables and streamline the item databases to get rid of some lag. I mean it's pretty sad when items drop with no stats because the item outdated and doesn't work anymore. All that clutter in the database helps no one.
The loot situation has never been great in SW:G. Personally I think when they fix it, they ought to flood the servers with loot for a month to make up for it before adjusting it slightly lower again.

And P.S. Why isn't there a totally pointless petition to Fix the Loot Tables and Up the Loot Drops... Seems to be petitions for everything else. hehe

Loot is a big part of my fun because i dont pvp or craft , i log on now and stand around scratching my head because it isnt worth my time running around killing NS , Krayts etc

HMMM Group of 8 of us doing level 82 aukaans solo or 2 peeps together can get about 15 ca's or aa's in 3 hours..maybe your not killing lairs fast enough..the champions usually will drop the stronger stuff but not always
Oh, and for the guy who said "what about pvp..."
I decided I'd try that last night. Let me ask you this... how much fun do you have when you, and 4 other jedi knight friends are being attacked by over 20 overt rebs. And you can't fight because the lag is so bad you can't even get ai to click every 30 seconds. That's a separate issue here, but before CU I could do the warren, I never had lag. NOW I get 2 minute lag constant in the warren, and can't get in any pvp battles. Already requested csr help with this issue.. but haven't heard anything to help back.
So... pvp isnt option, loot isn't option, I can only go and kill necrosis so many times (about 40 times now and still no banes crystal by the way).... done most of kashyyk (everything that was interesting), got master pilot, got my KNIGHT, um lets see.. what is left? cause I'm missing something here. The only thing I had left to really hold me over till the FRS system was fixed was looking for some rare ca's that I might want to have etc, but we know how that's gonna go before I even log in.
I think the problem with bringing in good loots to the game is the fact that pve is to easy for ranged players. When i fight krayts , NS , gorax and aakuans i dont even need to wear armor , i just stick a snare on them and they cant touch me because they dont have a ranged attack
Good loot needs to be given to npc's that have ranged attacks and a CL of well over 90 that way its difficult and fun to get
Some BH whined about Boss NPCs got a nerf too already:/ So really noone drop anything what worth the efforts.
I've made some Pirate and some Aa'kuan missions today, and nothing, but credits
