Ladies, Gents and the undecided....
I'm in crisis here - I'm currently a pistoleer/smuggler with a little TK and Medic on the side.
Pistoleer is borked - half the specials don't work and their DPS is ridiculous.
Smuggler was released unfinished and has, well, remained that way.
I sooooo much want to stay a smuggler, but I'm bored out fo my mind - I can't last 10secondsagainst high end mobs and I'm sick of being a slice monkey. At least when we still had the spice trade I could mess about with them. Don't even talk about faction purchases - the most tedious system ever created.
Now it looks like there will be no Smuggler revamp til middle of next year, and I don't think there's much in the way of lovefor uscoming between now and then. We are clearly not a priority in any way, shape or form. I want to have a role in this game - I actually want to be a smuggler - but it 'aint gonna happen any time soon (and perhaps, not ever)
Can anybody please give me a good reason to stay smuggler? anyone? Pleeeeease?

Ummm, wish I could I really wish I could but I feel the same way though I don't think I could ever give up Smuggler.

Sadly, this is exactly how I feel. Especially after our revamp got delayed for an unspecified time, a time that is AFTER:
Secrets of the Force 2
JTL
JTL emergency patches
Combat Revamp
10001 combar revamp patches
So tonight I think Ill go buy a bunch of rifles, slice em and give in to template temptation and just become a rifleman (havent decided yet).

I agree Kells. Mast Smugger till I nod off at the wheel of a speeding Ford Pinto!
As to a reason, I wish i could be definitively persuasive, but the bestIhave is...
...JTL should make being a smuggler what we have all been waiting for.
/wince
....should.
Just hang in there.
(or to appeal to the greed of all smugglers)

I'm staying a Smuggler because that's what I am. Simple as that. Despite the fact that the only thing I do with the Smuggler profession is slice someone's stuff once in awhile. The little bit of demand for spice I used to have has now just about dried up completely, and the Docs get a new buff. (Sorry, that still bugs me).
So, I also have Pistoleer and have actually found that it is useful sometimes in combat. I've even started using a Striker pistol so I can hear "BANG!...BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Finally, if I want to do anything really serious, I have TKA. The only really working profession out of the three. With this combo, I can have fun in the game, despite the fact that two of my three professions need so much work.

Yep I feel the same and its sad becuase all i want to be in this game is a smuggler (I dont want a jedi). The best i can tell you is go TKA master, then you can keep smuggler for the title (God, that is sosad) and still be a bad ass in combat.

I know exactly how you feel. Since Publish 9: "Secrets of Game Breaking" went live I've been bored out of my mind. My fp customers are all gone since no one wants to put up bases that can be taken down by one jedi and a base killing bot. Since that was my primarly income, I'm completely broke. None of our other services are wanted, except slicing but only if done for free. I went with BH pistol dabbler and picked up enough pistoleer to get fanshot and the melee defence line so I have 103 pistol speed and can last ditch once a second with any pistol I have. Being able to do that was fun for about 40 seconds. I refuse to do TKA because its ridiculous that someone can barehanded beat an advanced force user or rancor. Just plain silly. There is no pvp to particpate in cause no one wants to be killed by Jedi who we have no way of winning against. I detest crafting. I also refuse to go with a standard template. So I'm just waiting here till JTL and randomly hunting with my guild. Its worth $30 to get the PLY at launch since I remember playing more than that last year to get glasses to wear. My advice is to get Doom 3 and hope it lasts until Star Wars Battlefront comes out then play that till JTL launches while only going into SWG to put maintainance into things.

I feel the same way. I stay in the profession for the Role Playing. I am Master Carb / Master Smugg / Master Marksman. I die a lot against FOTM combat templates. I am operating on the principle that the Carbineer / Smuggler combination facilitates a wonderful role playing template..

Nope! Go do something else, or have fun and play outside. There's nothing here worth sticking around for.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to try other professions in the meantime. I just dropped master smuggler and a significant portion of spice creation as I get one of those defense stacking templates in order to collect high quality Night Saber Crystals, and various other loot. Honest truth is that I can smuggle just as well from this other profession template than I can with "smuggler" sad truth is that the Devs have forgotten about us and I'm going to chill out untill they remember... or untill Space so I can get the smuggler only ship (yeah right)

thanks for all the repsonses - The smuggler community has to be the most patient in the entire game.
Then again, it needs to be....
Waaaaaah!
I'm weak - I want to be faithful to smuggler, but there's no pointplaying asmuggler in name only for the next six months....
I can resist no longer - I'm going to try another class to see how it works out. I'm weak, forgive me.
