Thread: Oct 1 Boycott of Carbine Profession
Well, that's it for me.
After a LONG time of raising the very serious issues with this useless profession and seeingimpotent responses from Holocron and Q-C3PO, I respectfully submit that we all leave the carbine profession.
Honestly, there really is NO point in complaining further, writing further, cajoling further, pleading further, calculating ratios futher, experimenting withtechniques and HAM further,killing further in this profession. If I see one more post about the problems, bugs andconfusing issues about this profession, I swear I will scream. NO MORE COMPLAINING. TIME FOR ACTION.
You REALLY think that the devs are going to change anything within the next 6 months? Please. They're too busy with commandos and bounty hunters and riflemen and creature handlers. Oooooohhhh. And lets not forget their constant quest for the perfect nerf.
So do yourself a favor. STOP COMPLAINING. DO SOMETHING.
Join me in dropping the profession and move on. I respectfully propose that we all leave the profession by October 1 at the latest (of course the earlier the better). Get the word out to any Carbineers you see (lol, like THAT happens a lot).
Exercise your right to move on to greener pastures. Enjoy professions that have their act more together.
Peace.

Only things we need fixed are:
1) Lower HAM costs
2) I would like to see carbine attack faster than pistol, because it's pretty much a machine gun, but don't completely nerf pistol in the process(which would result in more whining if you did nerf em, lol)
3) Fix all broken abilities
Thanks =)
boycotts are a waste of time, like trying to hold a sitout back in school, if all the carabineers in the game didnt log on, would anyone even notice, I play on Eclipse, think have seen 6 since started a few months ago

Uselss? So some of our moves are broke, we are far from useless.
When most of the keys on a keys on a keyboard are broke, its technically not "useless". But vernacularly it is. Especially when there are other keyboards nearby that work perfectly. Ergo Carbineer profession - useless.

Why not just quit whining and boycott the game as a whole? Hit that "cancel subscription" button and your problems are gone!
No need to do that ZnickZ, but thanks for your kind suggestion. I have a better idea. I know ! I'll go spend my time on a profession that yields real results. If you like a profession that pound for pound yields less results than other professions, is considered widely one the top 3 most ignore professions by the devs, is replete with bugs, please, by allmeans stay here. No need to get angry with me about it

Hmmmm, yeah, good idea. One of the primary reasons we have been ignored is because we have pretty low numbers compared to other professions, so the devs obviously feel its safe to put us on the backburner. What better way to fix the problem than by LOWERING OUR NUMBERS EVEN FURTHER! Then the devs wouldn't have to worry about fixing us EVER!
Great idea dude.
/sarcasm off
Why all the hostility dude? You're right. The ENDLESS complaints across multiple boards on this web site from us carbineers has been SO effective so far. Just keep pluggin away at it. Someday the devs will address your concerns (NOT).
/sarcasm off
But seriously. Once again. No need to get hostile against me. I am trying to help the carbineer profession by taking a stand. And you know what? Think about it. If SWG saw the daily active users of Carbineer drop to zero by October 1st, you THINK for a second that action would not be taken? And if wasn't, you know what? Your fixes were probably never coming anyway. Itsa software development pipeline, priorities constantly shift. Lower level priorities never get implemented in reality when a tight ship is run unless there's urgency. I was trying to allow us a way to respectfully and civilly create the urgency. But if you don't want it, by all means, enjoy.

I guess he could go try Squad Leader for a bit. He'd be running right back to sign up with the Carbineer Corps, let me tell ya /evilgrin
I have no idea about squad leader nor amI interested in that profession.
But given the posts on the variousboards, the only profession that would have me running back to Carbineer is... ummm... actually... seems like bounty bunter, commando, rifleman, pistoleer, combat medic and creature handler from the boards seem to be happier with their professions than yours. So no, I don't think the running back is going to happen. If anything, I think I will be running back to bounty hunter, pistoleer, commando and creature hunter (that I have explored in other galaxies).
LOL. I would love to see the migration stats of people leaving Carbineer and people RETURNING to Carbineer. I think given the low level of posts to this board and the almost non-existence of Carbineers on my server, I think we ALL know what the data would look like on that.
He's probably a pretty bad commando. Come on people. Do more dueling and PvP. You're telling me that a mid-level or master Carbineer is holding his/her own against a mid-level or master BH, CH, Pistoleer, Rifleman, TKA? Please... who are you trying to kid. Maybe you got lucky. But odds are, you try 10 such duels and you'll lose 9 of them. If it were otherwise, you THINK there so few Carbineers? The numbers don't lie people.
