Thread: Dancers and Smugglers
I just felt it was time to express my outlook on the situation.
Have a good day ^_^
I never thought it was that broken -- just the players never understood what the devs intended for it.

I've always been attracted to smuggler and at one point I was a smuggler. And, I am actually considering making my Bria Bothan a smuggler if I ever get the time. hehe. But, one thing I've always liked about this game is variety. And, to take it down a level to a profession level, that's one of the reasons I liked dancing, because there was so many different ways to play dancer. And, it's also what attracted me to smuggling. It's almost like 4 professions in one. So, I don't think I'd consider a social profession. Nor would I call it a combat profession. It seems to me to be a nice mix of the two.
As far as the players not understanding what the devs intended....well, maybe that's true. But, you could say the same thing about us, couldn't you. And, in my opinion our profession is severely broken. But, the devs may think it's working as intended. I think the same can be said for smuggler. Maybe the devs envisioned the smuggler profession as it is right now. But, the smugglers, just like us dancers, want something more out of their gameplay experience. I mean, they actually wanted to smuggle! Imagine that! ![]()

I can wholeheartedly agree...I spend more time loitering in the cantinas as a smuggler, than the dancers do alot of the time.
As for being broken...no, it wasnt broken, but whatever the devs did intend for it, was incorrect. The one thing our profession should be doing, that it doesnt, is SMUGGLE
Wether smuggling is a social job or not....its what we should be doing.
The CU revamp should make the profession alot more fun(Not neccisarily more combat oriented fun.)
There has been plenty of stuff about new smuggler concepts after the revamp too. The idea of getting contracts, and actually EARNING spice instead of making it, sounds pretty appealing to me.
That would be sooo cool! (although I suspect that would be yet another way for Scip to lose my hard-earned credits to you)
