An actual in game incident in Tatooine two nights ago.
Player: "Looking for Master Smuggler to slice weapons"
Me: /tell "I'm at the bazarr terminals."
player: /reply "k, omw."
Player: "Hello, u a master smuggler?"
Me: "Yes, do you have the components for the slices?"
Player: "Yup, took me three days with a krayt hunting group to get them."
Me: "k, what weapons you need sliced?"
Player: "I have my laser rifle, it's capped and i want to get damage slices for it, and then I got my scatter pistol I would like to get sliced for damage and speed."
Me: "Oooh, hate to break it to ya, but if your rifle is capped i can't slice it any higher. Is your pistol capped?"
Player: "What, your shi*tin me right. Smugglers can't slice above cap?"
Me: "Nope, welcome to the new improved slicing system."
Player: "That sucks, I spent three days getting the components."
Me: "Sorry to hear that, you still want your pistol sliced."
Player: "I guess, how good are the slices."
Me: "2,4, and 8% respectively. If you have the components I can get you a tier three slice. However I must warn you that the slicing seems to be borked."
Player: "What do you mean?"
Me: "It seems that the slicing system is not working as intended, we should get an 8% slice for say tier3 , but it's not coming out to that, it's more like 4-5%. Same with the lower end slices. You still want a slice."
Player: "One sec"
[at this point I think he was doing the math]
"NVM, it wouldn't even be worth it, they really screwed your sh*t up didn't they?"
Me: "Yup, now is supposed to be more interactive and fun."
Player: "I feel for you smugglers, sorry. Man I can't believe I wasted 3 days for this sh*t when I could have been doing quests. Thanks anyway. Cya."
Me: "NP, sorry I couldn't help ya out. Take care."
Player: /tip 5000 "For your time, thanks."
Me: "Thank you."
[at this point he heads for the starport]
Me: /tell "BTW, if you haven't already checked, look into PUPs for your weapons. The better ones give around +160 damage and last for 500 uses. They are also fairly cheap by the crate. That's what I use."
Player: /reply "K, thanks. You want to buy the components I have?"
Me: /reply "No thanks."
Player: /reply "K, guess I'll sell them on the bazzar, doubt i'll get very much for them."
Well a vision of things to come.
