yes Tashunka, that's nice. not telling me anything i don't know.




I must be, though you're not hearing it. If you "already knew" that nothing you say would get the Dev's attention, you'd shut up already.


You're unimportant to them, despite what Mister Rogers always told you. You can shout all you want and they won't care, hell you can quit and they won't care. This forum isn't for us to talk to them - it's for us to talk to each other. They drop in when they damn well please, say something irrelevant/inaccurate/inconsiderate and flit away again. This somehow gives people like you the impression that you're being heard.


You're a fool - someone as dense as you shouldn't patronize others.

Tashunka, please just shut up.


He's got every right to post whatever he wants here, as long as he does it within the EULA, and shouldn't have to endure childish name-calling.

It'd be better for all concerned if we didn't flame anyone

Look at what they are doing for bounty hunters. They decided to add a little content to the NPC bounty missions by making the marks harder to kill and have them drop better loot. What kind of loot? Premium crystals and lightsaber clothing attachments of course.



Sorry, I play on TC and not ONE person has gotten a Premium crystal. The bes one so far was "Good". And those aren't the only sorts of loot - I've gotten slicing components as well. Weren't we complaining about the drop rate of those, before?





Good crystal...premium crystal...who cares...it's still a stupid idea for them to drop as loot for Bounty Hunter missions. Bounty hunters are supposed to kill Jedi - not be their personal merchants.


Same thing with slicing components. Yes, we were complaining about the drop rates of those...what the hell good does it do us when they drop more from Bounty Hunter only missions? We still have to rely on other people to obtain the tools we need to do our job.


It's like giving us smuggling missions - except instead of smuggling spice and slicing components - we get to smuggle chef foods and stim packs that we can skim off the top from. Makes no fooking sense.

please leave the SWG vs. WOW out of this post. this is about smugglers and trying to get the devs to read a thread after they've "handled" it.

Likewise, I have every right to do the same, without having to endure patronizing replies.


You step up to me, expect return fire. I didn't start flaming, I simply stated my position - someone else felt that it was their place to tell me what I could and couldn't discuss. Sorry, there's a word for people who are arbiters of applicability - and it's not "fellow forum posters".


You worry about your own posts, OK? We'll get along just fine.

I don't know about you, but as a Bounty Hunter, I need my weapons and armor sliced. Most smugglers will ask you to provide your own components unless you want to pay a high premium. Saying that it's stupid for smuggling components to drop for anyone but Smugglers would be like saying it's stupid for Krayt tissues to drop for anyone but Weaponsmiths.


Point being, slicing drops are just asuseful for the people who get them as they are for those who actually use them. I happen to be a Smuggler as well - believe me, I don't need to buy components from other people to slice my own gear, but if someone wants a slice involving an Illegal Core Booster, they'd better bring their own or expect to pay a LOT for one of mine.


So tellme then... what kind of loot DO you want the marks to drop? Some people are never satisfied - would you rather go back to the way it was?

Emphasis on the "drop more" part?
