It seems that SOE has decided to nerf most of the loot dropping from non-Star-Warsy mobs and put the good stuff on rebel and imperial NPC's. The only exception I can think of is Aa'kuan NPC's, who finally drop their clothing again (yay!).
Beefed up:
+Faction NPC's are dropping nice CA's and AA's now (saw someone get a +9 today)
+ Aa'kuans are dropping modded rings, belts, shirts, and robes, just like in the good ol' days
Nerfed:
- Krayts no longer drop pearls
- Nightsisters and Singing Mountain Clan NPC's no longer drop crystals or "good" lances
- Nyax no longer drops CA'sor AA's
/equip tinfoilhat
What I find amusing is that theSOE repsin the "In Live" forums are acting confused about this. There's even an SOE-created focus thread on Krayts "not dropping the loot they're supposed to." Now really, come on. Isn't it obvious? They took all the good loot and placed it on stormtroopers and rebel troopers, to get players more interested in the GCW. Actually, I think the move is pretty cool, butit would be nice ifSOE would just be straightforward about it, instead of playing good cop - bad cop (PR team = good cop "oh, must be a bug, i'll talk to the devs right away", devs = bad cop "lol, we don't have to do anything... we took away the pearls and crystals from those whiny jedi and prettied up the GCW").

I'd like to think there was some grand plan (bad as it is) but it just screams poor coding to me.

GOOD GOOD GOOD now jedi's have to hunt and work to get something nice to sell off for 5 million. No more going to bed and waking up a billionair for them LOL. Now a greater % of the population can not hunt the Faction NPC's to get the good stuff. About time they started to make things more fair in the game. Good work DEV'S!!

you're being sarcastic right? you don't want to see jedi hunt together, trust me, you really don't.

Would just like to add that this part isn't true, yesterday I looted a LVA around 650ish max damage off a protector.

Its all a form of Loot Control. The devs are shifting the loot so that it dosnt get extermely common. Unfortunatly by the time we find out what drops the good stuff, they switch it on us again....
Yay for ignorance...

So, which rebel/imp guys drop the good loot? I was doing 8k stormtrooper missions on Dant today but didn't get anything worth remembering.
