Thread: Why does it seem like nothing's dropping anymore and there's nothing else to do?

all of those are worth hunting for loot which can sell well.
There are also numerous quests you can do for weapons and rewards which sell for lots of money, and many unique weapons which can only be looted if you look in certain places and kill specific MOBs. If you don't know what weapons I speak of, or where they can be obtained, then you obviously have a lot more content to explore in this game. And if you can't take the really tough loot droppers I mentioned earlier, then there is obviously room in which you should improve, because with the exception of Necrosis, I have managed to kill every one of those above creatures by myself.
As for content, if you are unfamiliar with EU (expanded universe) then I could see why you think there isn't that much content. Having read over 120 Star Wars novels & childrens books, and over 300 Star Wars Comic Books (some in graphic novel form, some not) I can tell you that there is a WEALTH of Star Wars content in this game that delves FAR beyond the mere 3 books that the movies cover.
I, for one, appreciate what you are saying here but the man is just so totally right. I also see your statements. As an avid SW EU reader I see all kinds of things most people never think of. I saw them 2 years ago too. The only difference was that back then I got to kill something and look at the loot like it might be worth something.
A decrease in perceived value is merely that, an altering of your perceptions. I for one think all the old loot is great. I still have Anakin's Podrace helmet in one of my buildings.
I'm in the same exact situation as you are myfriend. I loved PvE for high end loot. My jedi is basically garbage. But i've got another frustrating one for you.
-Look on the BH forums, see all the post about BH's looting great saber ca's from NPC mish's
-Log onto SWG with my BH alt, to run some mish's to get some ca's for my jedi. Only to find out that this game has somehow blackballed you, and I am only allowed to loot ca's that I can't give away. Food assembly 11......wOOt.
Even in the one area that this game is suppose to drop loot. The BH npc mish's. I somehow get hosed. I've been running the mish's for a month or so, and got nothing of value. Man this game is super frustrating.

Notice the highlighted word there, it's VERY important.
Let's see, 190 marks so far at average of 15 minutes per. That's about 48 hours of running marks.. The results;
....
Now, since the people here want specific loot, let's narrow this down even more;
....
48 Hours of missions to get 16 clothing attachments, one or two of which that I could likely sell. And these numbers include the first days of BH missions when the loot changes went live. Between missions 100-190 I actually looted 3 clothing attachments and only one armor attachment.
And now after people have cried and moaned even more, the loot has gone down even lower.
I swear this game is populated by three year olds.. "But he got one, I want one.. whaaaa!!!"..
This is NOT a loot game. It wasn't designed to be a loot game and it never was. As other posters have said what you thought was good loot has simply changed. Because it was really difficult to get, then it became easy to get, now it's back to difficult. Everyone got spoiled when it was easy to get because of over powered buffs and professions.
Just like the current XP system. Everyone went from getting maybe a level one box in an elite professions in a round or two of group missions to getting a level 1, level 2 and level 3 box. Then SOE tries to fix the problem by putting XP back in line where it was supposed to be all along and everyone cries and screams. Now we're back to getting 1.5-2 million XP per round of missions.
What's sad is how they give in to the cry babies on the forums. Just because you don't like how it works, doesn't mean it's broken. There is still plenty of good loot in the game, and still some really hard to find items. Just because you can't find 10 of them a day doesn't mean they aren't there.
And again, this is not a loot based game. It is a crafting based game. The SWG staff has upped their development cycle in recent months and handed you more and more tools to enable you to make your own content. From the very start of this game the content relied on you, the player and it still does today.
If you have nothing left to do in the game it's because you are lazy and don't want to do anything.
The GCW is slow because people don't want to participate. That's not SOE's fault, that's the players faults. They continue to try and improve things but no matter what they do someone always cries and starts a petition and screams bloody murder.
So 16 CAs and 9 AAs. That's 25 Attachments in 48 hours hunting so roughly 1 attachment every 2 hours. Not to mention components, crystals, schematics. I don't see why you think BH missions suck so bad. The average player who isn't a BH would love to be getting that kind of loot at the same rate you are.
Also if this is such a "crafting based game", what the hell are you doing collecting loots!? Please explain that part to me since it sounds a lot like a double-standard.
