Thread: Rally to me!
Wow they delted my post here calling the censors communists!
I am being opressed here! This is not universal love of the proletariat is it?
And another common thing in the 'extended universe' would be to check the droid first if you were looking for contraband.
Let the smuggler's actually be the best at smuggling. Makes the most sense. Not sure why peopel feel so entitled to sliced gear and spices. Is anyone gated from leveling or travelling by not having sliced items or spices on them? Unsliced items still work, theres powerups, doc buffs, entertainer buffs, and chef food. None of which are illegal.

How many people tend their harvestors have sliced gear or spices on them and can't kill some storm troopers?
And how do you know it's not a bug? Let's look at it here. They give smuggler's evasion skills for what reason? They add in the 'imperial crackdown' now making things illegal. Yet this problem bypasses both of those in one shot. Do you think that was intended?

Umm, pretty much every true crafter. DE's especially. I have sliced armor, weapons, and spices, do lots of harvest runs, and on a good day I can kill 1/2 a stormtrooper solo before my deatblow. And I have more combat skills (pistol 0-0-2-1) that some DE's.
And how do you know it's not a bug?
The same way you dont know it is. However we have status quo on our side.

To toss them a bone? I seem to recall smuggler's abilities added after the server hit test as a "why dont you do this".

They have stated many times that they dont want to force people into PvP, and the scanning does that, so yes, I think they may have allowed it, especially since it requires more work for them to change droids to have them scanned. Having droids being able to avoid scans does not make the skill disappear from your character. Ireally cant believe you're asking to become a babysitting service.

Since you were an afterthought, i dont think they intended anything. Be thankful you got your bone.

Yes Kollos, it does but I guess we just have to agree to disagree because you all have this false sense of entitlement to illegal item you failed to address.
It's not a false sense of entitlement, it was granted by the first 8 months of this game's existence. Everyone, not just Droid Engineers, feels entitled to use spice and sliced weapons because they have always been able to do so.
So let's get back to the issue you keep ignoring - why should average players be penalized for actions they took in the past, especially when those actions don't involve any sort of game balance breaking issue?
Furthermore, why do you insist on penalizing players who you don't want as customers in the first place? Your primary target audience - high-end hard-core gamers - are still going to use Smugglers because it is far easier than using a droid. The rest of us - the people you don't want to have to deal with all the time anyway - can use a clunky droid to continue playing mostly the same way we've always played, and it's no skin off your nose at all.
Bullcrap, though I agree we disagree.

Weren't you the guy who recently thought it'd be a great idea to give the use ofall the combat droids to squad leaders rather than to the DEs who made them in the first place? lol Rally to you? I think not.

Hated by smugglers, loved by everyone else. I can live with that.
Is there some procedure to expell someone from ever coming to the DE boards ever again?

No kidding. People stored these items in the droids before. Now suddenly its an exploit.

What about the fact thata smuggler can smuggler stuff without a droid? Isn't that an exploit? 
LOL jk
This is unknown... it's working as intended before and staying the same after. Adding new content doesn't make something an exploit.
