This is really sad to hear. What makes it worse, is that there was no real way we could hold him accountable for our repesentation.... or misrepesentation. All our questions about what he had posted on the correspondent forum were met with non-answers. Alot of people were upset that we would get on his case about this publish, because we quite frankly didn't know what he was doing, for all we knew he could have been explaining word for word how we were feeling.. But apparently he wasn't doing very much on this issue.


But to be fair, it seems like San was pretty busy right around this time with other things, that perhaps kept him from the correspondent board more then he would have liked.



It's since it's in the past, I think its time for a new positive outlook on the way things will go for us. We have a new correspondent, and hopefully a new direction for the community.

Hell the patch is out Im not hearing about how the imps are stealing all you smuggler business.

Why is that oh becuase there is no smuggler business. There never was going to be any smuggler business
in this patch.

A bunch of children got there panties in a wad becuase there self imposed hopes were dashed.
Well tough go cry to your mothers becuase no one cares.

Now that Im not stuck with the position anymore I can tell you 19 spoiled nimerodes where you can stick it.

If you ever have the urge please come to lowca where i can kick your virtual ass's.

It's unfortunate that I was right - you hadn't been representing us adequately or articulately. Believe me, I checked every thread from the past month.


It IS fortunate that you are now retired. Now the the position has been liberated to free space for someone who can write a persuasive sentence and who, based on what I've read,seems like he'sof the mind that he should bepromoting more than his personal agenda.


We lost the battle, but we got reinforcements to replace the dead weight. Hopefully the war isn't over, but it's a long slog uphill from the ditch youyawned us into, SanTsu.

Lol you one star me cause I tell you how sickening your constant whinning and blame laying is? Thats really funny. Sorry if I see it as a complete waste of time to rehash the same constant whines about a patch thats 2 weeks old now. We didnt smuggle before it, we werent meant to smuggle cause of it. It was just the devs saying "hey heres a bone" and some of you act like they are pulling the whole profession from the game. Seriously sit back look at things and realize that the time to complain about this is long gone. Its time to move on, find a new direction and concentrate on trying to figure out what they are looking for with the revamp.

Please you dont think i read these forums. Dreven you have been part of the pony crew for weeks.

You know if you guys played the game instead of living on the forums you might have had a real

opinion.

*shrug*...


I'm not gonna get in a pissing contest with you.


Was I "FOR" you during all this mess? Not really...no...


But, I wasn't dead-set against you either.


All I really wanted was more communication...not necessarily to know what the devs were telling you, but what YOU were telling them (which apparently wasn't much)...I guess that was too much to ask for though...


As far as playing the game...in case you haven't noticed, I'm working on building my SECOND character. And you're not the only one that's been doing stuff in the real world lately...


So bite me...

Way to some togther as a community guys.

Anyone who blames this solely on San is a very narrowminded-simpleton. Nomatter how much or little San communicated with the devs, the devls already KNEW what shape the smuggler profession was in. Thunderheard made a few posts really explaining what they knew, how they understood how we felt, and our ideas.

I'm not nor do I want to get into this silly debate of how good/bad San was as a coorespondent. Honestly, I don't really care. This is a GAME people. Sure you pay for it, but its a game nonetheless. It it not the end of the world if your ideal vision of a smuggler was not met in one patch. Go outside, ride a bike, take a walk, go get smashed with a bunch of buds. Forget SWG for a little bit and see if you realize how much of an issue this isn't.

(Not directed at anyone, no flame intended, I hope responses to this are kept civil, if any)

Sorry to see you go out like this San.

Much respect lost.

I dont really care. Where were you when these butt licks attacked my work as correspondent.

Where were you when they decided to turn what was the best forum on the boards into a
whinefest about there desires with no clue as to what a game like this entails.

You want me to care about your respect then you need to be more then just a peace nic
with a fear of confrontation.
