Ok so SOE are trying to figure out a way to bring back pearls. However there are a number of problems in kryats dropping prem/flawless pearls again as described in a few other postes
1) If kryats start dropping again we're going to havea situation were 200-500 jedi are all trying to farm them simultaniously causing massive problems and fights over mobs
2) Few players will proceed to camp these kryat spawns and hog / control the amount of pearls entering the system. Example a guild located near the spawns can loot all the crystals and only give them to their guild or faction standing
That being said i don't think anyone wants a situation where 400+ jedi are all fighting for kryat spawns on tatooine (there are so many new jedi now). So what if you make it instanced quest based so a jedi can complete a number of set quests to obtain prem/flawless pearls. They will need a group for such tasks and have to go through a number of missions per quest, killing high level mobs and looting certain parts in order to construct a pearl (or something similar that does the same thing as a pearl). Each jedi (only jedi) can complete these quests once (or loot is bound to the looter once looted to prevent farming) and is certain of a perfect tune (or at least almost perfect). Keep kryats spawning and dropping pearls as well but with the quests to help with the over lap of jedi that all want to hunt kyrats as well.
This would stop the mass hunting of kryat dragons on every server and make us jedi form friendships and communities to help us obtain our saber parts and quality damage sabers. Indeed you could establish a master and apprentice system here whereby a jedi would group with another jedi only (one with a good saber would be extremly helpful or at least a full template one) and they could go off doing multi planetary quests in order to find pearls to put in their sabers. Such items would be un-tradable and only usable by the jedi who looted them to prevent farming of such quests again!!
Now i realise this is a lot of programming for the developers but if indeed you putting a new expansion in lets make a good job this time (unlike the CU)
Just an idea, what would you guys think?

To the OP, That would be far better than what we have, but whatever they do ... please don't let them allow farming.

Like wow "Bind on pick up" or make it "quest based and once got the badge no more farming the quest". Sure you can help others but no reward will be given!!!
