There will be no confiscation. TH has posted so. If you read the TC forum, it looks to be that they are leaning toward Tariffs for bring in possession of contraband.

The lack of documentaion for this game and its changes is not fun......its really frustrating. Either way....IF by some chance any of my stuff goes missing...I quit. I have put to many hours into my characters (I have 2) for the imps to steal stuff from me. Not only that, but I have put way to many hours into my characters for them to change the Jedi System. My other Char used her 4th holo yesturday and got no response. I'm so freakin close to getting my jedi on gorath for them to just take all that game time away from me just to change the system.....which sounds really cool, and I'm all for it, but Err....I'm just getting really frustrated. My buffs don't work, stuff could go missing, my almost jedi char...is gonna be put back to step 1...err just getting really irritated with this crap

1. The contraband system will NOT remove any of your items, whether they are contraband or not. Wheat is NOT on the contraband list, and the system doesnt even have the capability of deleting items from players inventories. Whoever started this rumor experienced some other bug unrelated to the contraband system
2. TH said that the new Jedi system, (which I dont think is even on the test center yet, they are still in the planning and idea phase), will still take into account your status under the old system.

Several of the correspondants have posted in the GCW and Test Center forums in various threads stating that "nothing is confiscate." There is even on post that states there is no code in the game that would give the supposed contraband confiscated message. The guy who got his wheat confiscated may have been the victim of a bug or some similar weirdness. The only things that are supposed to be contraband are sliced items and spice, nothing else.
We shall see if this is true in the future. If players start loosing items on the test center while being scanned, intentional or not, you can bet there will be tons of threads titled, "DEVS YOU LIED, MY SLICED PISTOL WAS CONFISCATED." I have only seen one person claiming to have an item confiscated. I would wait awhile before screaming about this issue.

I read every post before I post myself....I'm just getting furstated.....I mean they are coming out with some great idea's for the game....But the fact they they change stuff and say figure it out is what is making me so upset. I picked up Master BE 2 days before the new system went into effect.....and now in order for me to even make a good pet I have to spend 4 hours of my life fishing through the threads on the BE Forum, because the new system makes absolutly no sense to me. /shrug I dunno, maybe today is just a bad day for me.....

Agent is right on both counts.
1.) No confiscation. TH has posted the list of items (and has pushed for smuggelrs to get a bunus to not get caught yay). We had the list for testing purposes. the devs thought it might be more fun to discover it. We argued that everyone would know the law.
I made the case, that as a Rebel planet (ruled by the Overt Rebel Nym) Everything from Lok should be contraband under an embargo... I got Booed
In any case, no crafting materials will be illegal.. and nothing will be confiscated.
2.) The new Jedi system will take into acct. how many steps you have already completed. We dunno what the new system is, or even if they have drawn it up on paper, but if you are 4/5 done then you will still be around 4/5 done (taken from the front end of the new system).
Hope that your last (silent) profession wasn't master scout... because I expect the end of the new system to be harder then mastering a random profession.

I definately understand your frustration. I'm with ya. Just wanted you to step back and take a breath if you hadn't.

Hehe, Yeah, I went and had a smoke LOL....Who knows though, maybe this whole contrabnd thing will and a nice touch to the Smugglers.....It will be interesting to see how this stuff works out when it goes live. I'm stuff kinda mad/glad about the whole Jedi thing though. Regardless the fact that they are "taking into consideration the work you've done" Its still basically starting over from scratch....but who knows....maybe it wont be that bad....I dunno...hmph.
Still don't know why my buffs have dropped almost 2k....

I'm very concerned about this.....yes its a good idea *KINDA*, but my god will this really ruin the game for me. If I can't make my meds, then I'm gonna be really POed....and I will probably just quit playing the game. I'm not a Reb nor and Imp....and I honestly want NOTHING to do with the GCW....As far as I'm concerned the Rebels win anyways. 
Have they released a list of contraband? and what about the people like me who just wanna play the game for the game....not the stupid arse war thats going on thats pointless anyways, because we already know the Rebels will win in the end. Very Very Concerned about this change....I just wanna play the freakin game.

MyT: just to reiterate, Wheat (Lokian or otherwise) is NOT on the list of contraband and no confiscation will occur. I'm pretty sure meds of any kind are not on the list, either.
There has been no official list realeased because the Devs have stated they think it is mor "fun" to just find out on our own. (I've disagreed with that, and said so, but there it is.)
