Thread: Figures...
So, I see TH has responded to the BH's Top 5 thread. Granted, it's not a huge response, but for what it's worth, here it is:

Just to give you a heads up on where we stand, I just sent the list of Bugs that Tanks sent me straight to the dev team and Im collecting some other info from Tanks and the rest of the correspondents. I hesitate in saying this because the next logical question is, "well, when?"
The best answer I have at this point is "as fast as we possible can".
I know that will disatisfy some, but I had a lot of PMs and other messages requesting an update. If you want an answer from me right now, this is it.
Two things though:
We have another list and Im working with the correspondents to gather a really big list and then Im going to prioritize it and fix it from easiest to hardest (for all professions actually) so we can cover the most ground in the least time.
On actually getting bugs reported to me, one thing thats incredibly helpful is to give me the Location, Server and Planet. That way, things get way easier to recreate and squash.
Just so you know, I wont be back to this thread. Ill be focusing my effort with the correspondents to get out the Top 5s over the next few days.
Now, I don't object to TH responding to the BH's first out of all of the Top 5 threads. I don't object to the fact that TH has been swamped with the content publishes lately.
Here's what I object to.
1.) From what TH said there, it SOUNDS (and I understand that this may simply be a case of poor choice of phrasing) like he's been sitting on their bug list for a while now and is just now getting around to addressing it. I don't know what the correspondents do, what kind of information or responses they get back, but I'd be willing to believe this is the case. If that's true, well, that disappoints me some. It suggests that things won't be getting fixed any time soon, they'll just be talked about now.
2.) Based on the statements there, I expect that smugglers will not see any actual smuggling for two to three months, minimum. There will be other content that will surely come out, there will be other easier profession fixes that will be addressed, there will be any number of things that will pop up in between now and whenever we actually get to do our jobs, and so it will be probably about three months before we really smuggle anything. This also disappoints me.
I sure hope I'm proven wrong, and will gladly eat some humble pie if that's the case, but honestly, I don't see a bright and cheery near future for us, unless they've been working on us all along.
So, my predictions:
1.) Expect some minor tweaks to the spice tree. Maybe experimentationwill come back. That's an easy fix.
2.) Expect some minor tweaks to the slicing tree. Maybe masters will get some new bonuses in that regard.
3.) Expect the addition (if they haven't done it already) of damage mitigation as our "melee skills".
4.) Expect underworld to remain dusty and untouched.
5.) Expect to still be standing around in star ports, spamming slice/spice offers, and basically doing nothing that really involves the transportation of goods or equipment.
Here's hoping I'm wrong, but I'd bet the odds are in my favor.
