The "rare" pearls are simply ones which dropped from very high level creatures. What changed was that combat upgrade altered the levels of creatures. So where a pearl might before have been considered "premium" because it dropped from a level 287 creature, now it isn't considered premium because the creature dropping the pearl isn't level 287 any more.
The possible stats that a pearl can give you are the same, regardless of the pearl quality. The only advantage a "premium" pearl gives you is a better chance of getting higher stats. "Fixing pearls" would be a matter of changing the level ranges for different quality pearls. This would be a retroactive change which would suddenly change all the pearls in the game to be high-level pearls, increasing the power of Jedi globally and almost instantly - Unless we simultaneously lowered the advantage of premium pearls so that they don't give as much an increase to the odds of getting higher stats as they do now.
We would rather keep the premium pearls as they are - highly desirable and much better (in terms of the odds of getting higher stats) than normal pearls, but not drop them as casually as they dropped in the past. These should be rare, elite quest rewards and very high-end, elite-monster drops - not things that players "farm" from creatures that are no match for the player

This is a complete lie. Not to forget anything above level 150 doesn't just fight you but instead one hit kills you. Also My guild and I have killed the level 255 Jedi from the council place. We looted a warm hat. Some bugs and opther crap. Tiggs is a liar.

So either anything above level 150 one-hit kills you or you and your guild viciously murdered an innocent victim to steal his delicious bugs and warm hat. Which is it?

need master defenders then.. but it sucks having to rely on a certain template to kill certain things. I mean if you or your group dont know any Master Defenders when you want to take on something tough that cant be defeated without one your S.O.L

God bless the people who don't bother to read anything past what they want to read...it was later stated that
'Currently, Premium Pearls do not drop. We will bring them back into the game once we figure out a favorable implementation of these special items; there is not specific ETA for this change and all players that have the old Premium Pearls will get to keep them in the interim. '
SOOOOO with that being said it doesnt matter WHAT level the critter you killed is/was, there's no premiums in the loot table to be dropped.
