Honestly guys, we are going to have to accept the fact that the loot bonanza is over. I don't see it returning. It was fun while it lasted......

A poor pearl is still a pearl. Jedi don't NEED flawless pearls. They just say they do so they can be more overpowered.

Bump? You posted 5 minutes ago.
And no, pearls/crystals are supposed to be rare. Yes i know jedi need them, but they dont NEED the best there is, thats a luxury.
Hmmmm, pearls and crystals aren't rare hu? Why were people paying 4-6 million for premiums back before publish 13? Should premiums go up to 10 million? I defenently don't think that would be a good thing, and i'm a Crystal and Pearl merchant.

/join Dziecko.. If spawn rates drop hardcore players will make hundreds of millions selling pearls to desperat jedi who dont have the time to hunt for themselves. Well done... The only way to make money atm, if you aint a crafter is by looting. Looting is for campers and people with good time. With mission grinding gone, how can a fella earn money without spending hours looking for krayts or buy an alt to grind a crafting profession, then to spend more millions getting experimentation ca's and then using another set of hours craftingitems and looking for resource spawn. Something aint right here...

Krayts dropping pearls and NS dropping crystals is no more. You all should probably just accept that seeing as it's been almost a full working week (they said the krayts were fixed monday and now it's friday and nobodys seen a pearl) and nothing has changed. This is a dual-edged sword from the devs. They want to shrink the players bank accounts and shrink the amount of Jedi. Without premium crystals or pearls, you won't see auctions for 2M-5M for a premium/flawless pearl or premium crystal from an elder, and Jedi that couldn't get their 4 50dmg -9FC (or around there) premiums will be discouraged by the the Jedi that did and have anti-decay kits on their sabers. I mean seriously how good do you think Jedi sabers will be if they have to rely on poor-good quality crystals now? Certainly not as good as most of the knights right now that were lucky enough to be bathed in premiums before this nerf. So, to them, they are fixing two problems. The question is though, how many subscriptions is this dishonesty going to cost them?

I'm a "professional" krayt dragon slayer and Ladykiller.
I used to kill krayts when I was lazy since Ican afk them and nightsisters when I actually wanted to take an active role in what I was killing.
I'm fairly certain that by readjusting the loot table to modify the drop rate/probability for each item was tweaked erroneously. And while one could suggest that it is actually a silent means of reorganzing the economies, I believe that somewhere in the coding that the formulas for loot now have some faulty coding and are probably going through some major overhaul process while us loot hunters wait impatiently.
Me personally, I've lost almost all drive to play since being rewarded with items of high ingame value is not currently possible at the moment. I've loot hunted to minimize the pains of my jedi grind, but now, there really is no point other than to get fs as my usual "targets of opportunity" are no longer worth the investment in time, money, etc.
But increasing the krayt spawn rate was not the real problem created, for in fact it was the problem they were becomming a bit too common. Krayt pearls are supposed to be high value items that are highly coveted. By taking into account the way pearls are created in krayts, one should realize that its not something juvenile krayts should drop. But I can tell you, when juveniles were dropping qualities, it was instinctual to kill them (for me) as they went down extremely quickly and had a high chance of dropping a pearl. If I could have foundstatic spawn of two, I would only leave it to rebuff and drop off all the worthwhile loot.
The other big problem with juveniles dropping pearls is that the value of all crystals dropped, with only premiums retaining any real value. Now I'm sure that was not the intention when it was decided to allow so many krayts to roam freely.
But loot in general is hard to balance. But I do believe its time that the loot tables get a serious overhaul. Since loot isn't based on the items a mob is carrying (ie like weapon wielded)when killed, I would like to see high level mobs always drop something of monetary value, whether it be a more signicant amount of credits (ie elder) or something that can be traded or sold, especially attachments, and weapons that aren't always pikes. Instead of useless or low value item drops on high level mobs, nothing should drop at all since its not too different from getting nothing after a lengthy and or difficult kill, and really just becomes insulting.
