I recently respec'd to Master Smugger (hiss if you want) because it sounded fun and different. However a major avenue of a smugglers revenue is slicing and unless you had crates and crates of WUKs pre-revamp you are screwed.

The loot drops are a joke, the only reliable drops are from Krayt dragons..everything else seems to turn up nothing for me.

Any idea if the loot tables will be adjusted?? Man, I hope so.

I hope so.

Actually, I just read the stickied thread on Smuggler Prioties as laid out by the Corr. Very well written and just reading it made me hopeful about the possibilities of this profession. Clearly I am brand new and have not endured the pain that most of you have. Man, I hope just some of those suggestions go live. Acquiring spice by actually smuggling...wow, you owuld think that would be default content instead of just using a factory to produce it....

"Quick! Start dangling an easier path to Jedi in front of him!"

Anyway, if logic were used in the making of this game, not only would Smugglers smuggle, the Empire would be force to be reckoned with(and AT-STs wouldn't be rediculously weak), Jedi would be balanced & kept in check by the Inquisition(not to mention players who showed off in NPC cities would spawn no less than ten level 135 Storm Troopers to kill them), the Galactic Civil War would be the primary part of the game, Masters of a crafting profession would do better than those below them(as crafters can currently hit caps with good resources and don't need to be Masters, except for more schematics), Entertainers would serve a purpose.

The smuggler correspondent, like those before him, is a very competent person, and this community is likewise.


Good luck getting these smuggler priorities addressed. Historically, Jedi get the fixes, content, etc.


It's been two years, and we don't even smuggle!

Judging by SOE's track record, the word "soon" can mean any time between now and 1000 business days.


P.S. I wasn't always a pessimist

I try to look at it differently. Instead of saying "We're royally screwed.", its better to say "We're not completely screwed.". It kinda helps... a little.....
