yeah thats normal lately... i think they put in a stelth nerf on loot drops from elders, i now find insted of getting 2-3 premium crystals i buff i get about 1... its averageing about 1/10 elders will drop a crystal compared to the previous 1/6 or so... but lately they have been dropping alot of junk lik ebase lances, clasps, leather, base shards, base layers, and clothes with no modes at all... its realy anoying since its no meatlump out side of cnet... its an elder i want to see a premium loot or something good.

i think you're lucky...i haven't been able to find any elders the last 2 times i went out there...or even a single ns outside of the stronghold (besides the ones that hang around the entrances)

Speaking from my experience, Loot has definitely been nerfed, and not just Nightsisters.
I have been grinding rifle xp for the Villagefor the past 18 weeks to convert for my Force Sensitive xp.For me, this means about 2 hours a night of nothing but rifle hunting. I usually hunt animal MOBs but I also kill random NPCs that I find in my normal hunting grounds(Endor and Dathomir). This means I killrandom Korgas, Nightsister Slaves, and the Singing Clan Slaves, and some other NPCs I come across. I was looting about 1 crystal every 2 or 3 days consistently. I have NOT seen a crystal now for at least three weeks. I do not believe this to be "bad luck".

That's hardly the point. It matters not HOW it was killed. What matters for this discussion is that what we used to get from them is now a thing of the past.

When they first put in the patch to make NS's drop crystals, we went out for a week straight almost every night. I came home withprobably 100 crystals, they were dropping around 50% of the time from all sisters, and seemed to be indiscriminate as far as quality of drops between Protectors, Spellweavers, and Elders. It wasa very profitable week. Since they fixed the drops and made the time to take NS's out longer with their regained force powers (not complaining about that, glad they finally did it)I rarely hunt NS's. The profitability of spending 2 hours to kill 4-5 elders and 20+ others with only cash drops is poor, much less than the same time spent crafting, running the corvette, or just farming bases for faction and misc loots.

Isn't it typical of this game though? The problem they want to curb is elder-soloing, so they make another bad situation by screwing up the loot drops.
I remember before CH's got the axe, they tried to put a stop to the farming of very tough pets, and completely extincted the wildlife on Dathomir for a few days inadvertently.
