Thread: PETITION : We Want Our Old Slicing System Back
We want the old slicing system back, and not this new loot-based system. There is simply no fun in the new system and I personally believe it has made many Smugglers quit their beloved profession (including me) because of this no-fun factor. Before there was excitement of getting those 35% slices and the added fun of how the customer would react if the slices were low. But now, there is none of that, just the constant looting for these components (which don’t even stack) and the near impossibility of getting high quality slices from having to loot at places like DWB. Also, another little ‘poke’ to each Smuggler is the pain-staking, complicated explanations we have had to give to every single customer we get about all the options each of them has. For example: the loot that is required (along with the prices of all that loot) and the different stages they can choose from.
This petition is only asking that the old slicing system be put back in and no more of this loot-based slicing. We understand that there are many more priorities that need to be dealt with, but we ask that you just show a little bit of love for the Smuggler Community by doing this for us. This is not asking a great deal but just a small cuddle-like encouragement from you to show that you DO still care about us as we feel we have been neglected for a long time now.
Please SHOW us that you still care about us by simply giving us back our old slicing system back.

I like that i can choose what to slice, i hate that i m dependant on Loot whores and my own abilities to kill crap thats far over my level. do i knowcan take influence of the % of the slice? yes.. higher numbers? No, but those arent realy needed anymore with those weapon damages out there.

no way i'd sign that... in case you forgot the old slicing system wasnt even working...
I like being able to choose the slice though i have to agree i have a tough time getting excited about a maximum 8 % slice on damage even though that is about all we can get without unbalancing the rest of the game. For my two cents i'd like to see powerups removed completely from the game and have slicing perform that function. I know the WS folks will hate me for that but it just seems there isnt enough difference in concept between a powerup and a slice. I'd also be happy if slicing was just different but i cant see how.
The only hate I've seen is in regards to what I mentioned in the post above, the loot drop system for our components as opposed to smuggling missions and having the components be a reward.
Besides, I dont think this was a mistake of a thread. I think it clarifies things a bit. People like the slicing system, just not how we have to get the components.
The new system certainly is easy to deal with, however. The only time anybody ever asks for a slice now is for a weapon they are going to ADK.
Only reason for that is that the accelrated decay for slicing still exists, that and nobody cares to spend money on an expensive slice for a short lived item.
Thats OK, more for me! 
I'll put up with the loot drops for now.
