Why should I, or anyone else in the Smuggler community, continue to pay for this game?
I respectfully await your answer.

If they do answer, another question I would have would be... why should I, or any other member of the Smuggler community, believe you this time after so many broken promises?

That would be a great question to ask for the next round of 19 (non)answers. Im sure they would be befuddled on how to actually answer it too.

That it would. They, of course, would refuse to use it.

Why should I, or anyone else in the Smuggler community, continue to pay for this game?
Because:
- At its core, SWG is still a fun game. The next few publishes are focused on fixing major elements of what makes the game frustrating. Eliminating hologrinding, improving the Jedi experience, balancing combat, and introducing new GCW features. All of this promises to improve the overall SWG experience.
- JTL is coming. Jump to Lightspeed is adding a completely new experience to the game. It's a lot of fun and its very different.
- Smugglers will get a revamp. I can't say when. If I did, and we missed it, you'd kill me. A revamp will happen.
- No more smuggler B.S. No more announcing a date and not delivering. We're going to put together a plan for smuggler and post it here so you guys can review it. We'll have a plan determined before we start writing the code so you know whats going to happen to your profession.
- Because we will do a lot of stuff you asked for. Better spices. Spice experimentation. No more pistol requirement. A lot more new stuff as well.
If they do answer, another question I would have would be... why should I, or any other member of the Smuggler community, believe you this time after so many broken promises?
- No more broken promises. I had some very frank discussions with several smugglers at Fan Fest. I KNOW you guys are frustrated. We aren't going to string you along. There will be a revamp. It might happen after JTL, but it will happen. There will be a public plan for the revamp ahead of time (possibly soon) that you guys can start tweaking for implementation.
- I take this profession very seriously. I know its flaws. I'm going to level up a new smuggler character, myself. It's very important to me that Smuggler is improved and turned into a fun, rewarding profession.

Questions asked and answers given. I agree with your points on why to continue playing and I will take the answer to the "smuggler B.S." question at face value. I think I can speak for quite a few when I say we look forward to dates that will be firm and a plan that we can study and discuss at length.
I, for one, appreciate you jumping in.

The question that I think most of us want answered is:
Why are we currently paying to play a profession that requires to be revamped. When the people we are paying are using that money to work on something optional.
Here's an example:
We're paying for a cable company that offers 33 different channels (professions). Now some of these channels come in loud and clear. But the channel a lot of us want to watch has the worst reception out of any channel on the line-up (smuggler). We call to complain to our local cable company. They give us the run around for months on end. They finally decide to do something about our issue. Right before it happens they inform us that their technical staff has decided to wait to fix our channel. The reasoning is because they want to add an all new Pay Per View section(space expansion). Why should we continue paying for the cable service if the channel we want is not being fixed and they are diverting the required personel to work on something that is optional.
