Wow first post ever and this is what you learn. Seems like the "Total Experience" box should just come with a fist that punches anyone who dreams of Smuggling right in the mush upon opening it.

/agree This is pathetic how people are discouraging new people. To the original poster, ignore 95% of what you read in the Forums. The majority of the people here are bitter, adolescent kids that have nothing better to do. Take the good, ignore the bad.
As for answering your question, Smuggler is still in need of improvement, but it is a fun profession if you can take the good with the bad, which is the answer for all professions since nothing is perfect to anyone.
meh,it's not even worth responding to

Who knows, they might have implemented smuggler missions by the time I become a smuggler...
Don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure you'll make novice before the calendar year rolls around to five digits.
It's not that smuggler is a broken or useless profession, because it isn't--we've got a place in combat, some fun specials, and the ability to make okay cash if you get heavy into spices and slicing. In many ways, it's a very decent profession.
It's just that, as you apparently already noticed, we can't exactly smuggle anything, per se. As in, at all.
That's what gets us; that's what has us bitter and riddled with complaints, to the point where some might mistake us for adolescents who want it all. Well we don't. Just the one thing, really, the one thing we've been after for two years and that, as far as we know, may not ever come to be. My advice would be along the same lines as many here: by all means pick up smuggler, cause you can have some fun with it in-game and the community's hands-down the best. But if you're in it because you want to be shady, a criminal, because you want to smuggle--well, be prepared to get bitter. Because, for all we know, the additions of meaningful contraband and the ability to live up to our name are just as far off now as they were when the game launched 24 months ago.
Please don't let our current bitterness dissuade you.
My best advice to you is, find a good guild, and don't expect to smuggle anything any time soon.
There's two ways to look at Smuggler as a profession. As an incomplete, unfulfilled, broken promise...
or as a solid combat prof that when combined with a second combat prof can often be nearly unstoppable, with the fringe benefit of being able to improve your guns and armor, and craft short term buffs. Basically an Enchanter.
If you view it from the second perspective, and get in a good guild, and make some good connection on your server, you will have fun guaranteed.
I so rarely post on here (lurker at heart)...but I have to saythat Keck's advice is good stuff.
I still have a great time playing cause I have a great guild and great server. Of course our guild doesn't take itself terribly seriously which is probably why we manage to have fun

I agree with the guild sentiment. I found a good guild on eclipse and is the biggest reason I have not qit the game yet.
BTW Ochre, love the PA name.
Just watch out for the fuzzy bunnies with big sharp pointy teeth. (sorry, watched some monty python recently)
