Forum:Quality of Crawmerax loot (not a rant)

Several of my friends and I were farming Crawmerax yesterday, with about the usual luck and no pearls. So that we could farm Typhon for high level Typhoon's later, my friend went into WIllowtree to mark the This Bitch is Payback quest as incomplete, and on a whim he also decided to mark the You WIll Die quest as incomplete as well. When we next killed Crawmerax with him hosting instead of the usual load of equalizers and other orange sh*t, we found a Crimson Invader sniper rifle, a Double Invader pistol, a Caustic Surkov, a Detonating Cobra, and two Bastards all in one run. This seems way beyond mere coincidence, since when my friend reset his quest again we found an even better caustic Surkov, a Blast Invader pistol, another Bastard, and three Revolutions. I intended to do some more testing of this theory today, but has anyone else observed the Craw initially drops much better loot when killed for the quest than in subsequent runs?

As for the "well maybe he dropped the guns himself just to show his point" argument... the field was absolutely clear of items before Craw died, and my friend was killed in the second run right as Crawmerax died, and I doubt if a guy can cause his guns to teleport to Crawmerax from the bottom of the elevator.
