same problem here update: reset the quest and did it again, no problems this time

I have to agree IA/Smuggler seems to drop more often. Last week we brought in a fresh 50 into hard modes to fill for our usual agent, and in one run, he was done with gear, all armor pieces, 2 main hands and offhand, from HM KP and HM EV. Back in December when my guild first started running, we didn't have any agents in our group and after about two weeks, most of the group's agent type companions were decked out in gear, far more geared than any actual players in the group. While there's a good chance that its just the RNG, but sometimes when a pattern consistently repeats itself, you start to wonder...

It'd be a simple and nice fix if they just added a toggle for the "loot destiny" system to turn it off by ops lead and have it set to need/greed.

Did that during Early Access. Had group of Marauder, Sorc, Mercenary, and my Juggernaut all 50 within 5 days. Did that twice more with my Sorc and Guardian, and now very slowly leveling a Powertech!

Nightmare is for raids only.
