I never thought they would do this. Yet there is quite a difference from removing parts of the prerequisite, and adding different ones as some smugglers are wanting. I wonder how this can evolve.

This is BIG! REALLY BIG!
You are talking about a change that is going to affect EVERYTHING-
previous DOCUMENTATION- such as books and manuals
CHARACTERS IN GAME-
This is seriously HUGE.
DO you think we should push for the change from Pistol IV to Ranged IV?
I mean, if they are going to change one...

It's going to start up regardless when more people notice...
Personally I like our prereqs... but you have to admit this could be a very... interesting... precedent.

I don't know about this.
What bounty hunters are having altered... are skills they already possess...
Smugglers don't have to have Ranged IV at this time and honestly, that would completely kill my template right now.

Wow! i bet we see unarmed taken out of smuggler then since they haven't really said anything about giving new unarmed attacks....

Yeah, I know you like our pre-reqs and you know I don't. Heh. We've done this one too many times. In the words of C-3P0...here we go again.

As Caylin mentioned, taking away prereqs would have a much smaller impact than adding pre-reqs. Moving a pre-req from pistol to ranged supportor from unarmed to ranged support would put players like me in a really bad position and is the same as adding a prereq. Granted, we have seen hints that something might change in the future to allow smuggler to use any type of weapon to level but I can't express the disappointment I would feel if my template was no longer possible.
If as a smuggler, I could get all of my non-smuggler skillpoints back for a one time purchase of any skill or skill tree that I want, it wouldn't hurt quite so bad but any change essentially destroys my template.

Removing a pre-req could entirely unbalance the profession. Removing pre-reqs threatens the future. Adding or changing pre-reqs threatens the past. Neither are safe, nor headache free.

Also the 0/0/x/0 line in smuggler is:
- Pistol xp
- Pistol modifiers
- Pistol specials
I don't think it's as easy as you'd think.

I guess this means there will be a Bounty Hunter revamp before the Smuggler revamp. I guess if we Smuggled Jedi or had absolutely anything to do with Jedi (can't even slice their sabers, and the Jedi didn't even like the new spice that was proposed) we may have seen a revamp sooner. As it is, until they get everything that has to do with the Jedi perfect, we're on hold. Well, at least I can look forward to Publish 10 when I can work towards a Jedi of my own...

Yeah, awful nice of them to extend this to BH's while we get to wait another 9 months. 
We want to help out your profession as soon as possible. So that being said, as soon as we can get it through test ...
