Well, let me reviewa dayfor my groups looting.
For example:
Monday afternoon and night:
50+ NS Rangers, Sentinels and Sentries= 1 crystal@ good, 1 Mandalorian Intraframe, 2 polearms and berries, credits were great though.
50+ Imperial Stormtrooper and Aa'Kuans= 1 simple toolkit, a tech console schematic, a locked container and 4 pieces of junk weapons and credits were pretty good.
Don't these numbers seem off by a bit? I mean last week I am sure we did better and got CA and AA off of the ST and Aa'kuans...

I couldn't agree more Craile...
Way back when: rug pieces, adhesives, so on---- all that gone? Now blue couch schematics, modern glass table sch.'s, gone.
Although we find it easier to get CA's, which use to be hard. The pic's like "Ris" don't seem to drop now? Cheap weapons, broken data pads are plentiful. What is going on? Anyone have any insight to this?

Honestly, loot has been "broken" for a long time. I remember the first 2-3 months of the game, when you killed a mob, most of the time you got something. Even if it was useless clothes, you'd get something. When you killed a higher level mob (like the DJM for example) you would almost always get something, and many times TONS of stuff (multiple weapons, attachments, etc.). Now you're lucky if you get anything, from anyone.
Anyone remember these guys? I haven't seen them spawn in ages.

Master,
It had completely forgotten the Dark Adepts being on Dathomir, if I actually remember it. However, post Pub 20, drops have drastically dropped by what would seem to be 80% reduction on some items, from some spawn and missions.

I've noticed something funny about loot drops. When I /loot a corpse, if there are any items I will get a message immediately. However, if it's just credits(which happens about 90% of the time), there is a slight pause then the credits message. I'm worried that this pause is what's stopping so many items from being looted, perhaps it's a sign of a bug.

Its how its always been m8 , a loot is instant where as credsis that crappy wait ! Pre-CU worked exactly the same way for me.
Loot sucks now , will never be as good as pre-cu , all we have now to look forward to looting is SEA's , crappy pearls/crystals , smuggler crap , un modded clothes ,
CU = Loot suckage , no more excep , legendary weaps, no more decent pikes from NS etc etc etc. Just plain old boring black and grey!
Prem Pearls and crystals i doubt will ever drop again as this is their feeble attempt to have some variaty in jedi!
Ranged/melee Def , terrain Neg Seas are now now what they used to be because of the bio clothes and the knock on effect of the CU.. Just another thing hit with the nerf bat !
Them trying to bring balance into the game has had a knock on effect big time to loot , they were forced by themselves into taking out anything that wouldnt balance the game and replaced it with jack sh1te , sometimes they may mess up drops with things like Aakuans but it doesnt take them long before they nerf those drops
Unfortunatly its something we are just gonna have to get use to , anybody remember that feeling of looting something special and of value ? because its something i can hardly remember and im sure i wont again!
