Its not about the master title, man. That's only text. Its that whole brotherhood thing.

Well, call me a heartless jerk, but I personally believe that unless someone is either a Master Smuggler, or going to be a Master, they aren't really a Smuggler, they're just a dabbler. I have BH Pistols IV, but I'm not a bounty hunter. I just dabble in their Pistol line to get some speed, accuracy, and a Scatter Pistol.
But hey... it's just my opinion.
Amen

I agree 100%
all frikkin stackers and the 1337 pvpers......
in my book, you aint a smuggler until I see that Master Smuggler over you
im not a dabbler nor a stacker 
and as i said, i dont even pvp much with my bh. to me someonewho takes up grenadierand doesnt touch anything in commando wouldbe a dabbler.i had tosacrificed the ability to heal myself to be a smuggler. and guess what? i plan on staying a smuggler, so as long as it has abilities i want.i use the class every day, as for me not having a defining ability of the class, just what defines the class?if you think being a smuggler, makes younothing more than slice-whores then i guess im not one but i would have at least armor slicing if ididnt have run out of skillpoints.
although i am a mbh i have long since stopped taking bounties, player or npc, and i rarely use my lighting canon. am inot a bh? i do havethe title but i guess i dont do anything that you would define as the "defining" trait of the class.
im happy using pistols but at the same time i am not a master pistoleer. i do also consider myself a pistoleerbut i dont have access to what i guess is the "defining"thing of a pistoleer, the de-10. so inshort, if im not a smuggler, then im not a pistoleer and im not a marksman , i dont use anything from that really.

You're a 'smuggler' if you spent the points for the novice box. You're a master if you spent the points for all the boxes.
All other divisions are strictly arbitrary, and vary person-to-person. This nonsense of 'you're not a smuggler unless you're a master' gets old quick. I've mastered the class more than once. For RP, I love it. For functionality, it sucks. It's a much-maligned, much-abused profession, and I dearly hope to see it altered to the point of usefulness and immersive capacity. Of the big three, Jedi, BH, and Smuggler define the genre for me.
I have one character who's smuggling, and one who's a Jedi right now, and I guarantee that if I slip over into the other thread about Feign Death, there'll be nothing but antipathy from the very class I have the most time in - because I have a Jedi. Doesn't matter that I didn't use FD once I started grinding Jedi. Doesn't matter that I've posted repeatedly in suggestion threads, polls, and ideas. Doesn't matter that I've sunk countless hours into a Smuggler-based fiction thread, or that I founded a guild that openly espoused drug use and mandated smuggler-style RP. Doesn't matter that I still have a factory full of crates of pixie and mol clamps that say 'Protest the Smuggler Pushback'. None of that matters, if you dare to disagree with the worshippers of the sacred cow. If you ain't wearing that tag, if you ain't flaming up and down about the changes... then by God, you're a dabbler, and despicable.
So, take any criticism or congratulations, including mine, with a healthy grain of salt.

A Smuggler cannot be measured by the boxes S/he has filled.
One could even have the Master box for the wrong reasons.
