Someone should do a Part IV of this to include the statements from Hadyn "My Black Heart Pumps Liquid Lie Through My Veins" Blackman.

I tear up a little everytime I see this post. I wonder if EN still realizes that this is still alive?

I'm just a dabbler in your profession but damn, you guys need some love in a bad way. I'd love to see you folks get some upgrades and overhauling. And not just for you but for the BH community as well. I don't know who's idea it was to make SWG a Jedi vs. BH game. If anything it should be the smuggler we hunt with a rare jedi hunt from time to time. BH and smugglers are the scum of the universe. You guys break the law, you lie, cheat, steal, murder, hack, kidnap, and we are the ones who are supposed to come get you! Damn the Jedi, let them kill each other. I want to go after some scumbag smuggler who cheated a Hutt out of millions.


Give smugglers some escape skills in the Underworld tree, while giving BH some humanoid trapping skills. Smugglers should get a TEF everytime they slice..that way you are forced to do your work in seedy back rooms and basements.


Damn Devs..THROW THEM A BONE!!!

Well, actually, we're not murderers, we're independant frighters, we're not kidmappers either, we're a kind of cab driver, we're not thieves, we're profiteers. Yes we do break the law sometimes, but no, we are not responsible for every trouble in the galaxy. We gamble, we carry, we modify, we lie, we sometimes deal drugs or weapons that we shouldn't, but don't call a smuggler a mafioso, breaking the law is not our vocation, we just do business, if we have to go around certain rules, we may do, but knowingly, and we would prefer not to. The only law that really defines us is "It's not forbidden to do something illegal, it's forbidden to be caught doing something illegal", a good smuggler is someone that nobody knows, not someone that is feared by everyone

Everytime I read this, it just drives home how much we've been ignored and lied to. Yet when we point that out, we are rumormongering and spreading rumors.


Shameful.

I have updated this post, but I think there are still some stray posts out there that would be worth adding. I am just about out of time to edit, so the options are to PM your suggestions to me ASAP or wait for the inevitable 10-day "come on back again!" free trial after the Combat Upgrade, since I am simply not going to pay for SWG until it is improved on a fundamental level and the Devs earn my confidence back.


In other words, I am out for the indefinite future.


Talk to you later, and thanks for keeping the dream alive,

Thanks for updating this, EN.


I think every smuggler who cares should copy this link and send it to SOETyrant, along with a nasty message. Not that it will do anything, but that statement "It was true -at that time-" really pissed me off. God, how I wish I could get away with crap like that in my professional Architectural career, or personal life. What a deal!


"I'm sorry I didn't get you the drawings you needed for your bid. When I told you I would do get them to you, I meant it -at that time-"


"I'm increasing the fee I am charging from 5% to 10%. When I quoted you the original cost, I meant it -at that time-"


"Yes, I know I had an affair, darling. When I took those wedding vows, I meant them -at that time-"


So I guess when Iagreed to keep paying the fee for this game, I meant it -at that time-...
