I was out with my wookiee looter today, hunting down some of those not so elusive High Power Vibro Motors. I spent about an hour killing Nyms. It seemed to me that they dont drop anything! In that hour, i got "you completely loot the corpse" only once and my excitement dwindled when i found that it was a supid gong piece.


I was just wondering if this was a change at the last patch? Do they still drop, perhaps they just removed the crap loot?

I dont think the JTLS patch had nething to do with loot drops, I am sure these still are dropped from nym guys on lok. They are pretty rare so spend a few days hunting and looting and ull get some

the droprate has definately gone down with the last patch. I used to be able to get loot (not necessaryly highpowered, im talking about all kinds of loot) from 1 out of 6 nyms npc, spend 2 hours hunting them yesterday and only looted one single item (a locked container) Hopefully the lootrate is being fixed in the patch currently being done. Else exspect to see even more stupidly high prices for lootenhance-components.

I've seen several people talking about an apparent reduction in loot drops since Publish 11.


I'm wondering if there is a set number of loot drops for each server reset that is now being distributed to the NPCs in space. If this is the case and the number of loot drops wasn't increased to account for the expansion, this might explain the lower drop rates.

There is a massive drop rate in loot. Pre patch 11 I could spend a buff session on lok and easily end up with some motors(plus some other good stuff). Since Patch 11 started trickling in the loot drop rate has been nerfed.

Since patch 11 I have looted nothing. Nada. Zippo. I haven't seenso much as a CDEF weapon from an NPC. The loot drop rate is really messed up.

I dunno, but went to the geo caves looted nothing, not even a small ball or a technical kit . Oh this excludes the stuff found in boxes etc.

If anyone can make this a clicky it would make things easier.

Weird....


I went to a couple POIs on Talus and Corellia over the last two days.



Filled my inventory with Loots Kits, and other stuff.



Not arguing, mind, just posting my own observation.
