They may as well just give us all whatever loot we chose and end this madness now.

5 stars for you!!
SOE has just made this whole game now about loot loot loot, cause the unsuccessful whining players cant be assed to spend anytime and detemrination to get any of the good loot by working for it, and they expect it to come on a silver platter, and guess what SOE has answered they're call, and has served them up with a damn gold platter, dear me....lower the loot drop rates for god sake...i cant deny i love looting and i have made my money out of it, but that was my choice an di worked to ge the good loot, and i've had my fair share of crafting profs, but this is SILLY.... 
....JUST PUT IT BACK TO NORMAL WILL YOU SOE!!! stop changing and adding new things, and get the problems/bugs fixed first b4 creating your life merry hell

I think you guys are missing the point. The dizzying amount of new loot and the high frequency of it dropping has really supercharged folks in the game. I havent seen folks so genuinely enthused to play SWG in quite some time. Its fun and people are having a blast with it. Pretty much the only folks that dont like the new loot madness are the ones that were making a fortune off loot previously. Thankfully those days are over, or will be soon. There will always be super rare and hard to get loot drops, but with crazy rate the SEA's are dropping right now everyone will finally be able to get ahold of and use these without being charged some ridiculous price. I fully expect SEA's to go for 10k per point regardless of type (even experimentation) within 2 months if these loot drop rates continue and that would be an incredibly good thing for the economy and players of SWG IMHO. But this is all just my 2 cents.

Perhaps it's to soften us up to the fact that a lot of it will be useless after the CU? /shrug

It's silly to make loot easier to get by the masses? They should put it back to how it was? Where only people that camp spawns for days on end got the loot and everyone else got to pay for it? Enala, I noticed your sig says "Pro Looter" ... hrm
I don't get it....how is that better?
I enjoy the new loot and how often it drops. It adds a little extra fun to it. And by the way, there were complaints about lack of loot before. This is SOE doing what customers asked. A good thing if you ask me

i think nyax is HORRIBLE. i completely agree with faster spawn times. i completely agree more rare spawns showimg up (krayts) i would also enjoy more loot being put out there too. i must say most or much of the population, including mine, money comes from stuff i have looted and sold. yes i made a pretty good amount of money of loot. BUT, this nyax spawning every 10 mins is crap... all these good tapes that were once sought after that are gonna b going for like wut... 1/2 the price in a month or so and not even wanna think beyond there. Too many people complain about this "rare loot should be available and everyone should b able to have some and use it, not just the people that play alot". well just think about the logic in that. If someone plays for 100 hours trying to make themselves better compared to someone who plays 10 hours to make themselves better as in get good loot and tapes ect. who do u think *deserves* the rare stuff? sure i mean 10 hours is a long times maybe 1 or 2 pieces. but that person with 100 hours deserves multiple good items and one or 2 SIGNIFICANTLY better then the casual player. i think the idea of making top of the line loot available to all the public or moronic move. no it wont shift the entire economy in a matter of weeks but it will in a few months. i mean even this last publish... wasnt this publish supposed to b the combat upgrade? i think they just put this in to keep up suspense or somethin.
Anyway just my 2 credits saying i think that people that paly more deserve more, people that play a little bit do not deserve the same things as someone that plays more and works at their characters more whether the person that plays little can't or doesn't want to play more because of RL things.

Ummm Arohk, I dont want to burst your bubble but thats how it STILL works. The guy who plays for 100 hours will have 10 times the loot (and a better selection) then the guy who only plays for a few hours. So what exactly is your point again?...

You need to get a life. If anything the casual player deserves just as much as anyone else.

It's only a temporary high that will last a couple of days or weeks at most and then it will be, "Where's all the loot?" It's like crack.

Actually, SOE should get a round of applause for their game and the new loot drops. They have done more to make people understand basic ECONONICS, than any school system. It's called SUPPLY AND DEMAND. As in RL,The big wealthy sellers never like it when their corner on the market falls apart. Even in RL, more supply brings more new business men and women. Some will eventually make it to the top, providing competition. We will no longer have to pay 3 million for a sofa, when many players make sofas.
I have heard my son express more understanding of economics after playing this game than he did prior to SWG. Lesson learned in this game apply very closely to RL. (except looting dead animals and people) The next step in understanding economics is that making high quality items will help bring people to your vendor. Even in this game, people want a good value for their credit.
It never ceases to amaze me how much this game can be like RL. Some of the wealthiest people in the worldare armor/weapon/foodmanufacturers. Some of the poorest---soldiers.

lol sry not pwnt because it still doesnt work that way... if ur SEA hunting nyax always drops some of the highest SEAs in the game u can b there for 5 sessions and get the same level of loot as the person that was there for 20 sessions. obviously the person that was there longer gets more...
BTW i also mentioned other points in there such as economic points people tried to make which make no sense at all
