Now this suggests two things to me.. 1. The devs clearly don't read the forums (and in particular this one) as people have been complaining about drop rates and things plain disappearing (premies) for a while now and 2. (and this i find more worrying) it seems that they don't actually play their game to any great degree. Perhaps if they spent some time on post CU Marauders and NS for example they might realise just how poor loot is right now.
Loot has changed a lot. WIth modded clothing no longer dropping , decent weapons or dots no longer dropping some NPC's loot tables have been decimated. The smuggler loot did go some small way to addressing this but it isnt enough.
Having said all that i am happy for the BH that they got some love , but how about spreading that love a bit devs?
It was Blixtev, he added a few things to the loot tables of the marks in his free time because he thought it was lame.Now they are the best source of loot in the game... I think he went a bit over the top.I have asked for some feedback on this from the Dev team.
How about instead of nerfing the BHs they fix some stuff for other professions? I'm sure they are just setting the BH up for the ultimate nerf anyway; removing jedi missions all together.

I'm a 14 month vet and I love PVE, it's the only thing I do.
Being a triple melee combat master leaves me no option as how to earn credits. I kill, loot and sell. Keeps the BARC fueled and Bantha steak soup on the table.
And I will give Kashyyyk a thumbs up for content. I feel for the few that are so uber that they can kill Necrosis AFKor solo the DWB.
To those I say: "you have won the game, goodbye."
Yeah i knew it was Blixtev , i just didn't want it to seem like i was name calling because at the end of the dayit is a positive move , it's just a shame that it is restricted to a particular profession. I'm just confused as to whether the devs think that other boss type NPCs(gold chevron stuff like Elders for example) already have good loot tables because i can assure them that they don't.

Makes me want to puke how BH's are the only ones that have a reliable source for slicing items.
DEVS, Quit babying the BH's and Jedi for a while so you can fix the rest of us, OK? Oh yeah, how are those smuggler missions coming along?

Completely agreed. Don't complain about BH loots being good - they're actually FAIR considering how far you often have to go for a lvl 82 mark that has a chance of pwning your dumb BH tail. Hanging out in NE Tatt should give you a very good chance of finding canyon krayts, and they should dropgood tissue and pearls.

Now instead of complaining about the new BH npc's and their loot prehaps you guys should look at your respective professions and look at how you can have unique content and missions which yield the same rewards without yelling nerf on a profession which has just been reinvigorated with a new and more exciting life.
Lets stop asking for nerf's on professions instead lets see how we can make the most of our current profession, my main profession is smuggler and im still waiting to smuggle im sure other professions want the ability to have unique content with unique rewards prehaps that should be the focus.
Nobody is asking for nerfs, for non BH it is quite disheartening that they dont have access to this loot that almost replaces Krayt, Gorax, NS and various other hunting.
I tend to hunt all sorts of mobs, some take 20 - 30 minutes to find, but it all seems a bit pointless when guildchat is full of MBH taking high end loot from mobs they have a waypoint for and are relatively easy.
And btw BH npc loot has been the worst in the game since start of swg .... now BH got a least an PvE option and this will take a lot out of the grief between BH and jedi because this is most definitly more rewarding then killing a young padi .
