Fixing group looting is probably the best thing so far to get people to play together more. The fact that strangers will be able to group together and fairly split up the loot without anyone really being able to sneak something off will hopefully encourage more strangers to act together. People wanted to know why nerf solo groups, well along with the stated answers, I think this goes onto the list.
The thing I'm most thrilled with by far is player events tools. I plan on attracting customers to my business with a weekly lottery, sponsering swoop races, and maybe even creating a "criminal" roleplaying event with the NPC actors.
Not to mention some of those weapons (and that was only part 1!)
I know it's not really Smuggler stuff, but I think it does a lot for the game. Now if only I could get Jabba to spawn at my swoop race so I could get a smuggling contract from him!
Edit: Not sure I like the galaxy wide vendor search. I like being able to search, but the fact that items are automaticly delivered will make it harder for Merchants to gain experience and would almost definitely bypass any kind of Smuggling system we have. I mean, pick Business 3 (I think?), place the vendor, put your item on it for an insane amount, then buy it through the bazaar whenever you get where you're going. You'd be paying yourself so you wouldn't care about spending it!

Never mind. Hadn't checked the Dev Tracker last few minutes.

The event tools are simply incredible. The things players will be able to do with them are mind boggling. What the details are on the timers interests me because if you want to make a really large, detailed event... timers can really screw things up 
I can't wait to see what some players will be able to come up with.

Yeah, just read that stuff.
Player Events - Awesome!
Group Looting - Awesome!
Galaxy Wide Vendors - Nooooot so sure about. As I understand it SWG had this in place for Beta didn't they? (well minus the delivery part -thought that was the reason why when we buy something at a vendor we get the email with the location on it). I agree with ya Zane that this may make the Merchant XP harder to get. I can see a lot of people having to readjust their sales prices lower with this system in place.
Wait and see I suppose.

Hands down, the best changes for me is the territorial control and that contraband will finally be just that 
These are worth GOLD to me.

Back on topic, looks like they're pulling the delivery feature. Makes me pretty happy for a couple reasons, not least of which is that they listened to the players it would impact adversely instead of just going through with it to make life easier on others. Reaffirmed a little faith I guess.

Hey Zane. I am going to delete the text in my above post. Could you also delete the text that was quoted. I don't feel like losing my forum account because someone wishes to misinterpret what is written there. Thanks.

What delivery feature? Player event perks?
