You've gotta be kidding me. You weaponsmith's are getting really selfish. I dare one of you to go out for a day and try and loot and exceptional weapon. Chances are in a 3 hour buff session on Dath you won't loot anything worth $ to anyone. The guys that get the exceptional loot are the ones that work their azzes off all day hunting.
Oh an another thing, why don't you check the condition on these looted weapons... 137/750, 205/690, etc. Nothing to hoot about, Gives a guy some glory for a couple nights in PvP, whats the harm in that? I think that before you all say,"Everyones looting Exceptionals," you should think about what your saying and actualy go loot hunting yourself for a night.
This guy's right (although I take exception to the selfish thing!) I've got three characters in all...my MWS/MSmuggler, my PvP pure combat templated character, and my PvE character, some of who's skill points I use for enough merchant trees to sell my goods. I've taken to hunting on dath and taking out other sort of "big game" type of stuff and I've yet to loot any exceptional weapons. Several very nice SEA's, to be sure, but no exceptional weapons yet. I think that Smork probably hit it pretty well...they really aren't dropping any more often these days, people are just selling the ones they've got. And, no, they're not going to have any significant impact on any of our buisinesses at all.

That isn't the point... The point is SOE outright lied.. Nothing we can do about it now though, except post our concerns. It is too late now to ever fix it in my opinion.
actually the combat revamp will fix this i believe. I keep hearing glints of information about multiple tiers of the same weapon. example: a dl44 for marksman, a dl44 for pistoleer novice and a dl44 for master pistoleer. I assume that as one's skills get better the differences of these weapons are more ideal. Perhaps master weapons can lose .5 speed to gain 50 points damage etc since they already have nice speed mods etc.The one thing that does concern me are those very low ham looted weapons w/ high damage. The combat revamp is supposed to make special moves cost a whole lot more but the special move point pools will regen much faster than the HAM pools. I think high damage weapons (like the 1900 max damage t21 auctioning for 50mil on my server) should have 200 mind cost not 30. Right now w/ food and buffs that wouldnt make much difference but after the revamp one would have to think long and hard before using such a high cost weapon.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know why I said "selfish," just had one of those moments where I couldn't find the right word to use. By the way, I respect Master Weaponsmiths more than any other profession quite frankly because the stuff you guys do is a pain at some times. I know resource hunting is a pain in the arse but so is loot hunting. I know that sales are going down as hologrinding is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean that looted weapons will rule this game. As I have said before most exceptionals are use for a couple nights of PvP for some glory.
It also comes down to the fact that most combat players are only playing this game now because of loot, what else is their to accomplish?
