Well my solution is simple....because of the inconvenience of Patch 9, we should raise our slicing prices...

Already done....I started out thinking 10K, but since I always like to be a little more expensive than the norm, I've decided that 15K will be my benchmark.

I am not slicing anymore for the public.


I am all but done with smuggler.


I am going to keep the profession till JTL comes out and if it is still not working right I will give it up.

    Thanks, and yeah I can agree with you guys. I'm not a Smuggler, but my brother is and it will become a hassle if this isn't changed.

    Here is a way to look at it. Doctor (i'm not crying nerf, settle down) require the general public pay 10k for their buffs. I cool with that, since I have been grinding I have spent almost 1 million credits on buffs. However you can't do what you want the way you want it with out the buffs, the demand is there to meet the supply. Well the same thing goes for Slicing.


    Slicing is way to cheap.Players are paying 10k to an image designer to get their hair dyed purple, why not pay 10k to have you wep speed or damage increased considerably. That is a service sought out buy almost every weapon bearing player, sooooo my solution is make our services pay off. We should increase our prices or at least set a scale depending on percentage.


    30% or higher (if possible) 10k

    25%-30% 8k

    20%-25% 5k

    20% and lower 3k


    Just my idea, but if we all do it, people will pay. If they don't like the price they canwait until a cheaper smug logs on.

    Slicing Prices:

    19% or lower 5k

    20%-29% 8k

    30% or higher 10k

    prices the samne for weapons and armor

    remember my slices r fovever and make the piece better.

    a doc buffs only last 3 hours.


    some complain they will wait for a cheaper smuggler

    then i tell them if they come back i charge double,

    some come back lol

    Regarding the slicing...

    Ya we pay 10-13k per buff that lasts maybe 3 hours

    We should definately charge 10-13k for a slice that could last a life time!!
