Smuggler Archive

So, we're moving up to 7 day bans now for them not liking us...

I have a proposal.

If Smuggling, when/if it does come, isn't anything close to what we as players want out of it, we give them 24 HOURS to acknowledge that it is a problem, and after they acknowledge it, ONE WEEK to produce results.

If they fail to do either of these things, I propose we ALL (we can't do it if there's scabs) stage a massive protest in the smuggler forums, AND in game, to the point we all get banned in both arenas.

(now personally, if smuggling is screwed up I'm probably going to consider retiring keck anyway, so it's not a huge sacrifice for me )

But, the large, sudden loss of players should say something to the Devs, and we all know that massive bannings for no GOOD reason catch the critical eye of of the press.

So to sum up, Smuggler gets completely ruined. The Devs refuse to do anything about it in a timely fashion. For me, at least, the game is COMPLETELY not worth my time any more. I protest, get banned, and if enough people do the same, we draw attention to ourselves.

Worst thing that could happen? You retire a toon, and either turn to a new account, an alt, or leave the game entirely. Best thing that could happen, they do something positive in response to widespread criticism against them.

thought I'd add this: If we can track down some more infamous types, get some of the 4 horsemen etc. to reactivate their accounts, just to do this, then we could move the symbolism from, "angst-ridden", up to "tragic."

Why give them more than 24 hours?

We've given them TWO FREAKING YEARS, they don't deserve EVEN another 24 hours. And they start banning our senior members? Screwe them.

There is a difference. Protesting gets you suspended, in which you still end up paying them their monthly fees, but you cannot play.

Quiting the game cuts off your monthly fees. Meaning they are not making money from you anymore.

The devs have stated before that protesting in game would be grounds for punishment. And we just saw how asking innocent questions in the forums is grounds for punishment too.

I am just saying that I have waited a long time for this smuggling content. If I don't get it, I will find another game and company I can pay to provide me with some entertainment. Perhaps a company focused on giving an equal playing ground to all their professions.

EDIT: I will just say this now. When I heard that Jedi were coming into this game, which I knew about in the early stages, I was worried. I knew that Jedi would eventually be overpopulated and everyone would be buying this game to be one. I KNEW that professions that were not Jedi would be ignored to serve the better interests of all the people who want to be Jedi. After all, How many new players want to be a Smuggler in the long run, and how many want to be Jedi in the long run?

We should have known we would never get smuggling content, especially after we waited 2 years with empty promises, and we still don't have it. Sure they gave us this smuggling system, but it wasn't what we asked for... it wasn't what we were promised. I recall dozens of posts from Developers stating that they had high hopes for smuggler. Right now the only high hopes for smuggler I see is them banning our senior members.

I had to get this off my chest.
