I spent a full day this weekend killing:
Nightsisters and Singing Mountain Clan on Dathomir
Pirates, Mercs and Nym's on Lok
assorted Tatooine mobs and a few Krayts
Force Sensitive and Dark Jedi Knights on Dantooine
many, many Stormtroopers, Nova Troopers etc. that I found.
Anything that walked or crawled that I came across from CL1 - CL111
Including a couple hundred Tier 4-5 in space between Black Sun missions and Deepspace.

How many slicing components did I loot?.....ONE trigger assembly
So as I posted originally in another thread. I spent a days playtime and can do ONE mediocre weapon slice.
Without the benefit of having a Jedi to try and farm these mobs I may not have gotten the one I did. I couldn't kill half those mobs with my actual Smuggler (CL80).

YAY for another pointless timesink forced on us!
And if you do not have the combat skills to kill most of this stuff, an additional headache of getting someone to help you. I know some of our Smuggler kin do not have combat professions in their template so they are completely screwed without a group.
This is not in the same type of loot farming as Krayt tissue, Acklay, Gorax etc. to improve on something.
This is not the same as Mining, harvesting, those are guaranteed to be there...may take some time, granted, but you won't spend an entire day and come away with one unit of a resource.
We have to do this JUST TO DO ONE OF OUR PROFESSION SKILLS….and one of the only ones worth doing.
This slicing system needs to be revised and loot tables need to be finally fixed to match "Risk vs reward"
It's asinine to kill a CL111 and have it drop a Gunman's Duster, a CL84 Nightsister and loot a Combat Staff, or a CL88 Nova Trooper and loot a DL20 Rifle, Glop Grenade or the ever popular with Imperial forces…Wanted Poster: Luke Skywalker.
Take the crap out of the loot tables for anything over CL10. Take the useless junk out of the tables entirely.."Broken this", "Broken that". Loot, just for loot sake is pointless and annoying.
Not that any of our objections will make a difference, they will do what they please reguardless, just submiting an example of what we're forced to do should we want to stay in a profession some of us have been loyal to since July '03 despite the fact it's been ignored and lied to constantly since launch.
Granted some may have been lucky enough to have gotten a component from every 3rd mob, but it shouldn't depend on luck to be able to do one of your skills.
My Smuggler is officialy shelved with his token respec until such time this idiocy is fixed or I use the respec. With their past record of dragging thier feet on these things I sadly suspect it will be the respec.

they shouldnt have implemented this idiot slicin system anyway , they had a perfectly good new system up an runnin , all they had to do was tweak the lengh of time tiull a weapon broke or jammed or someting , it coulda been woorked out , or even scans , but no , they push this on us , havin to loot insanely hard bunkers an mobs jus to do our basic proffesion , this should not be happenin.

Well, I didn't play nearly as much as you, Wolph, but I capped my pistol XP at 2M killing rebels on Dantooine and didn't loot a single slicing component. Bunch of laser carbines and bowcasters... but no slicing components.
Oh, and I now have five broken datapads. I'm thinking of setting up a nice 'broken datapad' display in my house...

well i 've just been having my costumers get the loot, if they want the slice...they get the loot. it's worked pretty well too, one guy asked me for a slice and after 20 minutes of explaining the new system to him (which i find to be the most annoying aspect of this whole new system) he said "oo ok i'll go get the loots and brb" in my head i was thinking "i won't see this guy for another 2 years with how rare the loots are dropping right now"...10 minutes later (or at least i think it was 10, i loose track of time when playing SWG) he came back with a simple and fine tool kit, and a trigger assembly. Needless to say i was shocked and gave him his slice.

So, Skipper... what did you charge him for the slices? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know.
