Ok I did some more tests with my friend who is Slicer 4. She was unable to do 100% customization in one stat, she tried to do three hardening slices, but it wouldn't let her, but she still is able to exceed her supposed 75% cap by mixing slices. For example, she sliced a gun for 8% dam (which is 60% customization) and was not only able to do a 2% speed slice, which at 20% customization should be above her customization level, but a 1% Crit slice as well for a total of 100% customization.
I dislike throwing down the E word, but it clearly is along the lines of the old power-up slicing exploits. As stated only masters should be able to slice a weapon to 100% customization and clearly this isn't true. Slicer 4's can get around the cap, which I believe they said was 75%, but mixing their slices and, in effect, slicing as well as a master.
Wes, could you ask the powers that be if this is indeed as they intended?

Let's keep this at the top.
Someone with only Slicing 4 should not be able to do full weapon customization.

I think we're being exploited by not being able to Smuggle anything.

I wouldn't call it an exploit anymore than using concussion shot prior to its fix was an exploit. It probably does need to be addressed though.

It's obviously broken, but it's not broken in a drastic game breaking way like being able to slice a gun 20 times broken. The only people it screws are master smugglers, so I'd expect a long while for a fix.
