getign banned doens't bug me. If they fix us i wont have any **edit** reason to come back here now will i =P
They wont
Here's my idea...
Everybody take today off from posting... build up all that hate and distain you have for our current plight, and then tomorrow, we ALL UNLEASH on the official swg forums, you know the ones that devs actually READ, all of that anger.
I'm saying lets all start creating threads with various titles, "FIX CARBINEER NOW", "Carbine Needs repaired FIRST!"... You get the idea, make it IMPOSSIBLE for sony to ignore this problem when people start complaining about us taking over the forums. If and when they get on there and see 20 or so posts on there all stating that carbineer is broken, they will have no choice but to take it seriously....
I can hear it now reverberating through the walls of SOE corporate headquarters in the third ring of hell...
Hitler: Ja wohl mein satan! Zee forums, they are uber**edit**en! Vee must do somesing SHNELL!"
Mephistopholese: **edit**! i hate carbineers.... the very utterance of that profession fills me with bile... very well.. fix them now and get those **edit** off of my forums...
This will only work though if we all do it together and conglomerate into one loud unignorable voice, so I'd like ot know who's in...??
I like the idea. If all 30us us carbineers just spam the main boards with "fix our class" messages, Garva and Xahn might actually mention us to the devs as being major pains in their butts.
Of course, then all 30carbineers will get banned too....

This isso untrue! This entire SWG game (all 20 servers)has more than 30 carbineers! In fact we have at least 36 carbineers total!
and there inlies the heart of the problem. unpopular professions are the low men on the totum pole. of course, it's kind of a catch-22, as we will never be a popular profession without fixes, and we will never get fixes as long as there are so few of us. now i say 'never' but i just mean 'not for a very very very long time, until after everyone else has been served'.
for example, look at teras kasi and compare it to pikeman. tk is wildly popular, and pike isn't. we just got a huge fix with the power boost and now they are fixing force of will for us on tc. pike still is left in the dust. is it because they are not broken? far from it. it's because they do are not represented by a large portion of the melee players (i'd say over 2/3s of all melee'ers are tka's). consider this: why would anyone pick up a pike when they also have the option to be a class with so much going for it like tka? some do it to be different, some just like polearms. whatever the reason, it's NOT because the class is viable. to this end, the pikeman population stays small, and any fixes for them will not come for a very long time.
it's like all professions are treated like customers, and each player of that profession is part of that customer. so, the professions like ch where there are 10,000,000 players are like the disgustingly rich customers who get waited on hand and foot. where the professions like fencer which have 10 players are the dirt poor customers who never get serviced. it's pretty sad that we are not all treated equally, since we all pay the same amount to play this game, but that's the way it is
Come on! I keep refreshing the SWG discussion forum, like every 45 seconds. POST! POST!!
Make Carabineer better! It's somewhat cool...
....imagine me being a poor Carabineer and Squad Leader, both broken -- I must be crazy.
