It was harder pre-21 to cap both, now its just easy. no?
And WS were capping one stat and getting very close to capping another very shortly after CU. The problems with the game, the weaponsand WS as a whole doesn't lie with these loots.
Just made this and auctioning it off now...
I've killed somewhere around 75+ of these new MBH marks and have yet to loot any of the new powercells. That being said I agree with mor-dan you should never be able to cap all 3 stats, though I do think it's appropriate to cap 2 of them, there should always be a choice in how your weapons should be crafted.
To the person who mentioned that now there is a way to compete with looted weapons all I have to say is show me your perfect looted weapon and I'll show you a weapon I can outcraft in my sleep. The loot weapons were easy to compete with before, yes they had good stats and were nice to have but nothing terribly difficult about making a weapon that could easily outperform them.

yeah, that's what happens when you post 10min after you wake up and are about to rush out the door. normally i am more calm; everyone who knows me knows not to do anything to cross me when i wake up unless they desire a stiff tongue lashing. if you can believe it, i am actually a very mellow person...
sorry about the whole "nana, nana, boo-boo" thing. i stick to my gins though (no pun intended), i do not believe there should be any double capped guns, and loot needs to deal in more areas than just damage. if they just removed the SAC reducer from them i would be quelled. i would prefer to see them and krayt be different types of modifiers though. we HAVE a damage modifier in krayt tissue. we HAVE an accuracy modifier in scopes (even though they are broken). let extra SAC reduction come from other components like barrels and weapon stocks. these can also include speed reducers since speed reducers also exist on power cells and krayt tissue (and gorax).

These things are so much bloody rarer than krayt tissue it's insane.
If they're even still dropping.
I spent the last two days killing stuff for BH exp, got myself approximately 22k total, and still no hide nor hair of any of the looted components. I'm sorry for being rather aggressive about this, but if you had told me that after a full day of going all around the galaxy looking for these I would have, well, a lot of cash due to good CA's and so on looted, well, I'd have been harder to motivate..... It's a slow way to exp, that's for sure....
All I was doing it for was to get one set of these stupid things before they got nerfed like they probably will. ONE. I've been through 30-50 probe droids in a DAY and I can't find even the scopes. I have a friend who's gone through the same thing... The lvl 82 bosses spawned a total of 5 times.
But they're rare. Much rarer than Krayt, it seems to me. I've not seen any of the scopes or powercells that people are talking aboutyet.

Do you want everyone to have the same weapons?
Hasn'tthat been happening even before these loots started dropping? It seems slightly ironic talking of nerfing these drops because of the profession or the game, with the introduction of weapon caps what does it matter if the weapons are double capped easily with krayt tissues or with EPCs & RCs?
As has been stated before in this thread, these things drop FAR less than krayt tissues.
And Mor-Dan, I find your diatribe patronising in so many ways I am not even going to get into it.

Oops, one more point. You mean like everyone and his kaadu having an ALR and FWG5?
