Heh, if you invested $15/month (surpassing $360 USD) in a product you wanted, but the product didn't work the way it was intended, and all customer support will tell you is that theycan't getaround to fixing itbecauseof other priorities --several times -- you'd be pretty ticked too.
Oh, yeah, and let's not forget when they do offer a fix, it gets changed several ways in the last possible moment it could before going live, ultimately looking nothing at all like the concept that's been hyped for several months.

You may be happy to sit back and take what is offered to you. That is your choice. I prefer to look critically and feed my opinions back. That is my choice.

I'm ticked. I _tried_ to be supportive over the past two years... The so-called "Slicing" game is fubar. Loot drops? Um... No.
Where is the revamp we've been promised over and over again.
TH - I have always read the anti-TH and anti-Tiggs posts while shaking my head. There's nothing that the community team can do about dev time spent. I understand that... I don't blame you (or Tiggs) personally for our lack of a revamp, but you know the state the smuggler community is in right now.
This was insulting to a great many people. This was simply offensive, plain and simple.
Articulate, and sound.... Thank you.
/stamp <Kerchunk> Tawd's stamp of approval.
Wes, as well thank you for taking the high road.
DocSavag, there is a nugget of truth to what you say, it is just a game. I'm sorry you are taking some heat over it. But,it is an investment too, of time, of money, ofconcern, and offriends. I for one don't want to see my friends neglected, I don't want to see their resources or time squandered, and I hate the fact that they still care about whatis, in the end, stilla game. But this game isbuilt up and expected to be an open forum for people to make and keep friendships. If people here wanted to play alone they'd buy some other LucasArts production. It's about more than the simple game engine, it's about the friends, the investment,and the emotions all inter-twined.
Vella, CPZ, & Arashi (zombie or not)I do, and always have appreciated your passion and fervor for smuggler and our community. Thank you for keeping us well represented and informed.
Tralita Tusnami, you know that the smuggs are proud of you. And,the little concern overyour macro, would have probably been wiped away with a smaller font... but who ever said smuggler was about subtlety? Flaunt it, if you got it!
I'd also like to add a little macro to this Tues tip for all the newbs as well...

I think I had a post that lasted all of two minutes before being deleted.
It went something like this:
"I get it now, these Tuesday tips are a way of saying, "So long, suckers!" to the professions that are being killed from neglect.
Tuesday tip on harvesting: since shipwrights and weaponsmiths are being phased out by RoTW and to a degree and armorsmiths are being phased out by everyone going Jedi, I guess this is Thunderheart's way of saying, "GOTCHA!"
Tuesday tip on click-through targeting: Useless! You're supposed to be using AoEs and heal/buff macros! "GOTCHA AGAIN!"
Next week: A comprehensive list of ranger trap tactics. WOOOOHOOO!"
I guess I had a couple O's too many in the woohoo. Or maybe Kurt didn't like the caps.

Stop beating off in front of us. Nobody wants to see it.

Give Smugglers a little reach around while you bend them over and f*** them so hard in the a** that we bleed to death. It makes us slightly mollified.

Oh, I forgot. They took the knockdown out of Low Blow.
TH is a f***ing retard.

Solution: Buy a gun, ask for one bullet (try to put it on your credit card, if not, ask for two bullets), load gun, put the end you can fit in your mouth in your mouth, and pull trigger.

Incidentalyy, Thunderheart...

If I hadn't already canceled my smuggler's account 6 days ago, I would have canceled it today.
TH- This is by far the most idiotic idea of yours to post this as a tuesday tip.

next week thunderheart can rip off my macro for targeting the next target :
/strech fingers
/pop knuckles
/pick nose
press "tab" button
or how about:hot keys
move courser over hot key bar, press and drag, now you have 24 hot keys instead of 12
or tip to placing house
use the radial menue and to turn the house right click
or tips for starting a conversation in game
when you walk in a room say "TADDA IM HERE THE MEATING CAN START"
when someone asks you what you can smuggle "ummmm well nothing but we have this realy cool skill for playing dead, but it dosent work in pvp and only about 2/5 times in pve, or we get to slice weapons for a high of 8% and charge lots of cash cause were the only ones that can do that, and we have to pay the BH high prices for parts that seamingly only they can get cause we have no combat skills that are unique as lastditch only hits 1-10 times and chances are it wont kill the target unless he has less than 6k of ham left.
or privite parking
some professions, bh and smuggler can land at jabba's after they have compleeted his quests, although the pourpose of this is wondered about cause if you compleeted his quests why go back there?
or mailing system
use the search function( every time you landon a new starport
in the UI to find people in YOUR profession and add them to your friends listthis way you can build upand send group emails for you spacific class or type of person you want to join your party," I have over 150 smugglers in my list on bria and send out mails regularly telling them how were getting the shaft next"

press cont- m this will bring up a map and you will beable to see any vendors in you immediate area.
or if your looking to make a quick buck
use the gallaxy vendor search and search for rare or misspriced items that you can put a heafty markup on and make millions off of noobs, dimonds in the rough if you will.
or waypoints
did you know you can drag waypoint from your data pad to your email and vice verse, this saves lots of typing time for both you and the reader
or black on health bar
my newest trick is to log out in the med center and hope one of the afk doctors mistakenly targets me when i log back in and heals me
or on tuesday tips
ask permission before posting them on the forum, im actualy very offended by you, and this is definate attack at me, my profession and my character
on swg radio
lok pirate radio always goes good with playing SWG
on not seeing a jedi for a day
dont log in to the game and if you do make sure your in your house and dont go outside there will be a porcupine waiting or just look gay
on not getting banned
i havent figured that out, cause i was posting that my profession was BROKEN, and i got banned so..... basicly "they" dont want to know that anything is broken if its not a prority.
on jedi
bring back perma death

Ok, so I've got a few other Smuggler tips that will hopefully come in handy;
- Entertainers' inspiration buffs increase the amount of FP per credit when buying faction by 10%, so if you're a Smuggler, make sure you butter up all your entertainer friends (and if you've not got any, get some!) and if you're a customer, why not pay for your Smuggler to get a dance, it's worth your while in the long run after all!
- When slicing an item for a customer, always arrange the details first so that you both know what you're getting into, nothing worse than having a deal go sour when half way through you're both arguing over the price, who's supplying the components, or worse yet which slice was ordered!
- Role playing is great fun and as Smuggler is a quintessential part of Star Wars (it's billed as one of the iconic professions after all), why miss the opportunity to have some extra fun with it? Remaining in character while slicing someone's equipment or in the middle of a faction deal can not only result in a better experience for both you and your client, but can spur some kind hearts to give you a big tip, so don't knock it until you've tried it
.
- If you haven't done so already, ensure you have a vehicle (preferably a swoop) in your control menu; Blasting concussion shot into some PvP adversaries and then quickly calling/hopping onto your bike and making a speedy get away can be an exhilarating feeling (and potentially be a good way to lure people into traps.. or just get the heck out of dodge
).
- While not a game tip, if you're in the Smuggler forum looking for some help, be sure to check out the Smuggler FAQ and threads linked from the Important Links, Guides and FAQ's for the Smuggler Forum thread, both of which are stickied (remember, the Ctrl + F find feature of your web browser is your friend
).
Roar! Wes like smileys! Come to the darkside, Wes. Post your true feelings on teh CLS. We got a bunch of more awesome smileys for you to use as well.
As for TH...dude, you're low. At first we were ignored by most red names, but now we're ridiculed by them? You 'mos need to straighten up before your other players start loggin on to the forums and seeing your true colors.
