Don't smack yourself too hard, I'm going through the same pains, though I don't get everything.. yet!

But Tiggs made this "Treat" post, and sadly, you have no say in our revamp and are not in the position to effect any changes whatsoever. So - its nice to see that a developer is playing a smuggler, but in the grand scheme of things, it changes nothing other than lets us know that we'll have some cool art coming to go along with the nothing we get from the people who are scheduling us for our revamp.
But if you are on my server and I see you in game, I'll gladly go hunting and RP with ya, smuggler brother.
That's all good and fine, but if all you can see is the red name, then what chance do i have?
In this game i have played every single profession (to get my jedi)
Before i even came to work for SOE i struggled with all of the players of this game with variouse issues, but loved it still.
My first character was a smuggler, and he still is to this day, and while i do sympathize with the smugglers plight, i manage to find joy in playing the part, and i can't complain about this until i see it played out.
That being said, if you would rather I not post at all, I can keep myself in the beta forums. The last thing I want to do is cause undo stress in this community.
If you are willing to accept me as a fellow smuggler player and nothing more, i'll be happy to stay
Like I said, welcome to the Smuggler forum. I've ment no offence to you, Goliath, and wish to appologize if I did, I simply ment that the fact that a Dev who happens to play a Smuggler, yet has no say in any way to help improve the profession isn't what I classify as a "treat". I'm always glad to meet new Smugglers. We're all sorta like family considering how badly the profession is treated. So to re-iterate: Welcome, Brother.

Thank you for your agreement.
One last note, I noticed my post had been replied to, however, I also noticed that my post had disappeared from the thread, after an inspection of the post tracker on myself, I saw that I had been given a one-star. A *single* one-star. Only one person voted, and now its gone. Last I remember, for the regular posters here to remove a post, there has to be twenty seperate accounts to one-star that post. I wonder who could have done that... Something smells fishy, and it ain't the Mon Calamari.
So, added below, is me quoting myself, so that people can see what I said to get a single One-Star somehow powerful enough to make my post vanish. How do I /bug the message boards?

Goliath, welcome to the Smuggler forum. I hope you find you like the community. Have a good one.
Tiggs, I do not mean this in any form of offence to you or Goliath, but how is it a "treat" knowing that one developer out of many plays a Smuggler character, and isn't actually one of the guys that make the decisions on how the professions go, but one of the art developers? I'm almost insulted that you would think that telling us one of the game's developers plays a profession here, as if you and the other devs had to spend a *lot* of time looking for this one man. I mean, other than the fact he's an SOE employee and plays the profession this forum is for, out of all the profession forums in the SWG message boards, there's nothing else to mention.
Maybe I would be excited if someone was introduced that plays a Smuggler, wants to make changes to improve this profession, and is in place to effect said changes; then again, maybe not, 'cause I'm just getting tired of hearing "we'll fix you next", followed by, "okay, this time we will fix you next" which precedes "we'll fix you soon" and then "we'll get to you". As many have said, I see so much wasted potential with this profession, and yet, nothing good is being done.
Like I've said, its nice to see a Dev who actually plays a Smuggler, but untill something starts to positively effect Smuggler, I see no "treat".
Nothing here has excited me, nor angered me. I was slightly annoyed, but that's it.

I'll check it real quick to verify, I'll edit in my findings.
Edit: Interesting, it now has two votes.

Wait a sec, Nicholas; how can you tell that only one person voted? I can't figure out how to see how many people "voted" but then, I am not a board power user (to say the least). Can you tell me how to check this?I just gave you five stars on your original post to see what would happen, and it did not raise the rating -- it is still at one star. If only one person one-starred you, wouldn't my giving you five stars have raised the rating to at least two, but likely three stars? *confused*(Shren, his post is not deleted, it got a one-star rating -- so it will not show if you have left the default setting in your "Preferences" in place. The default setting prevents posts under 2 stars from showing.)Lilac Moon
In IE, most people can hover the mouse pointer over a picture, and if left for a few seconds, text embedded in the image(Third Picture, for example), or the name of the image(pic3.gif, for example), will show up. This doesn't happen in Firefox, so I have to rightclick, then select properties to read the info. That should also work in IE.
Note: Thanks for all the five-stars, but I'm not wanting anything to be raised, just trying to figure out how one person can do that, I've got the board defaults on the same setting, and never before has a single one-star removed a post I could see before it recieved any votes from my view, before or after the board revamp(hell, even the message board got revamped before us. Grrr...).
