All bosses except for the end and bonus boss drop blues, in very rare cases they can drop purple lvl 53 equip.
Well then in the 20+ I have done also I must be just freaking the luckiest person on the face of the planet. I have only had maybe 7 runs with orange or blues. I would love to get my implants or ear or something but none have dropped.

Then you are very lucky, because I only had one run with no orange drop

What robot? The first boss? That boss is basically the easiest boss in all four of the new HMs :/

The HMs are fine. They aren't super hard, but you have to at least pay attention. They are called HARD MODE for a reason you know...If they are too hard, there is always story mode.

I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

I just started running Black Hole dailes and I didn't get anywhere near 60K. Most I got was about 15K and the comms. I was wondering why people said you can do Black Hole and Section X and make 100K. I certainly didn't and no, I didn't die at all in fact found the dailies to be very easy. Just did not get 60K from them.

How it works is you run the lower level content and "gear up" to make the higher level content easier. That, or you learn the mechanics and communicate them to the encounter can be beat at lower gear levels.

Did your 3 healers know they had a cleanse they could use when the tank has 5 stacks?

15k is the credits from 2 black hole missions. That can't be the most you're getting, unless you aren't doing most of the quests.

Unless they changed it, it was 7k per mission plus any stuff you picked up and sold.

I agree with your post but the part in red is just the dumbest argument on this topic.
The sm's are for lvl 16, 21, 25, 30 and not for 55

Yes so they should be plenty easy. Or they could run the level 50 HMs and get gear that way.
