Yea just heard about this yesterday. No more tef for pulling out and using lighsaber. That is going to really ruin the jedi being in this game. That was one of the things that made the game not seem like "Jedi Wars" cause the jedi wouldn't pull out there LS. You didnt know it was a jedi unless they had a title up, or you knew already.
Personally they need to put back in the tef for pulling out and for sure using a LS. Considering according to Lucas himself, you have to use the force to even weild a LS with any amount of accuracy and skill, and not cut yourself.

Still no tracking for the BH. Is this ever going to be fixed?

"Profession: Smuggler
You will no longer be able to slice an item by using a tool in a crate. You will have to remove it from the crate first."
zofo64 explained:
We said.....
We are having problems with our laser knives. We are having to pull them out of crate to get 10 uses out of them. If we leave them in the crate we only get one use. Please fix this...
What they Heard....
Blah blah blah.. Have to pull out of crate to get 10 uses... blah blah blah... Please fix this...
This was your solution!? Make is so that you cannot auto pull CHARGED tools maybe ... but not mol. clapms and WUKs/AUKs.
There was no balance issue here... there was no economy issue (the tools will still be created and stored in the same quantity and in crates ... you just added 3 needles double clicks per slice.) NEEDLESS AND POORLY THOUGHT OUT KICK IN THE NUTS TO SMUGGLERS!
Nobody at SOE thought to themeselves:
"Gee this doesnt really fix anything and I Can't imagine why smugglers would want it....why are we doing this again?" !?!?
Nobody at SOE thought to themeselves:
"Hmm...we probably should have tossed this onto TC for a day at least to evaluate what this does to the smugglers we claim to care about now"
Someone suggested that this may have been done to make smuggler a more difficult profession to master. If that is the case ... I have zero faith for our revamp. This does not make smuggler harder to master in any meaningful gameplay. It mearly ADDS mindless and needless tedium and mouse clicking.
I've been in this since beta...I'm done with smuggler if this remains the exmaple of your understanding of our issues.

These bugs were not addressed, I hope they can get fixed before you release publish 9.....
1. Warcry, intimidation doesn't give tef to use. Using group tef to warcry/intimidation targets won't get you any danger.

/clap way to go dev team :/
Here we go with the "broad generalizations" that ALL Jedi and ALL starports are idiot zones. Let's stop the "sky is falling" routine already. We are not going to have a campaign build momentum to force the TEF system back onto neutral Jedi after all the "drive by ganking" we have endured in the last system for Jedi who were "properly" behaving out in the wilderness working on PvE for experience while solo. It was proven that people can't handle the responsibility and self discipline to NOT go out TEF poaching (both Jedi and non-Jedi).
I suggest the following if this issue is taking place as is being reported:
1. Add to your /ignore list and move along. If these few immature fools are doing this, then ignoring them will make them stop it. They are only seeking attention, so just deprive them of it.
2. Have CSR/QA/DEV teams patrol the designer cities and provide a one week ban on these accounts where the players are obviously too immature to handle themselves appropriately (Jedi as well as non-Jedi).
