The same loot on normal and challenging difficulty?

[Seccedonien]

Am I getting insanely unlucky or is there no difference between the loot that drops on normal/hard and challenging difficulties?

All people I've spoken too said that I don't have to worry about builds yet as I just need to play a higher difficulty to get better loot but the drops are the same for me, hell I would say challenging is worse then normal for me. What the hell am I missing because challenging is not rewarding me with anything useful especially considering how much more of a struggle it is to do things like CP's. Sure it gives more XP but if I can run 3 CP's on normal in the same time it takes me to do 1 on challenging then why should I even bother especially if there are not even drops making it worth the extra time? I just don't get it.

You are just unlucky, i run CPs with heroic, i can say the overall loot quality is indeed higher than challenging. Usually i run with 2 directives for more XP, and directives don't increase loot quality.

Correct directives do not increase loot quality, it increases targeted loot drops.

In addition to what @Soda and @Abs mentioned, adding agents to your group = better loot drops and XP.
