Well. I decided to try my hand at other ways of getting crystals (where previously I was concentrating on pearls). From my brief stints at certain notable NPC's (NS, tuskens, corsair, etc) without any luck, I decided to try my hand at factional NPC's. I buffed up my doc/rifleman and swordsman chars and headed out to an abandoned rebel base on Talus. It's a fairly small base but had a few commodores and commandants spawning. These NPC's have anywhere between 90-140k hams. All the rest were around 4-15k ham. After clearing out a good portion of the low end guys, the best loot I was able to get was some ee3's, dh17's (ie junk loot). I then started to work on the harder mobs. I killed 1 and looted..........credits. Killed 2 more at the same time (not easy, lemme tell ya) and got.............credits. Killed 2 more (during which my swordsman died 
) and got..credits and a yellow ee3 (no mods worth mentioning). Since I had no rez packs I decided to go at the rest solo with my rifleman. Slowly but surely I killed more only to get credits. After about 15 or so of the high end rebsI decided to kill one more for the road. Low and behold I loot a crystal with 922 condition from one of the 90k ham guys (I think commandant?). I get home and load my Jedi to check the rating................select.

While I am happy I got at least some kind of decent loot after all that, it's still disheartening to have to kill so many mobs to get 1 thing. Suffice to say the loot drop rate is horrible. The level of loot for the mob killed is poor to say the least. I hope the devs take notice of all the angry players and somehow fixes what was broken.

If players with Jedi or even loot hunters have to go through all that now (not including they'll have to turn imp because there's no imp NPC's with that kind of HAM) just to get crystals of "Select" quality, you might as well pat sony on the back for their solution to "Jedi Population Control". The only winners in this whole scheme are the Jedi that already have 4 50 -9 FC Pearls/Crystals and an anti-decay kit. Everyone else has no way of getting even with them.
Trying to fix the economy in SWG - That's great!
Trying to stop loot camping and kill-stealing complaints - Fine with me!
Telling Jedi that they will never have as good of a lightsaber as those who got theirs before the Premium Krayt Pearl/NS Elder Crystal nerf - Totally ruthless and bad business.

Corsair still drop crystals like mad. I agree that messed up loot drop tables are no fun, but come on folks... Jedi are just ONE of MANY proffesions in this game, and there are many other profs that have more serious issues and problems that need to be addressed. I know this is isnt a popular thing to say but its very true.

They are making rare loot rare as it should be.

Rare? At a series of Imperial Faction Bases, I mowed down Dark Troopers and Nova Cadets for 30 minutes and recieved 1 Sith and 2 Regular Holocrons, 6 Different DOT weapons, and loads of other loot. Thats not rare.

I know nothing about crystals, as I'm not FS (and thusly don't plan on going that route). However, at Fort Tusken I looted three crystals yesterday, one was above 1000 condition (of course, no way for me to tell the quality on them). Those and the one I looted about a month ago are merely decorating my house on Rori.

They're not making loot rare, they're clogging the table with crap...which MIGHT just be the cause of the problem - too much crap intermingled with the stuff people are truly after.

Hey, how about forgetting about the "uber-loot droppers" and trying out the rest of the POIs and stuff? For like a buff session each. That should keep you going for a while, and if you find your "dream loot droppers", stick to them, if you don't you might even want to either wait for the CU or try some OTHER PROFESSIONS, I agree with the one that spoke before, saying that other professions need some upgrading too, since they really REALLY do. If you just tried all the crafting and other professions, you'll find out that many of the problem still doesn't lie at jedi, dunno why so many people whine about that, just don't get jedi and use the other professions, wait for SOE to finish the rest of the stuff. It's really a matter of patience, if you don't see that SOE actually consists of humans such as yourself, thus incapable of fixing all the problems at once without seeing other problems rising, you shouldn't really play SWG at all.

Corsairs still drop 'em. A decrease from before, but nonetheless.
I have also looted quite a few clear crystals from NS Rangers recently. I usually stop and jump the ones enroute to the Village.
