We I want the old slicing system back, and not this new loot-based system. There is simply no fun in the new system and I personally believe it has made many Smugglers quit their beloved profession (including me) because of this no-fun factor. Before there was excitement of getting those 35% slices and the added fun of how the customer would react if the slices were low. But now, there is none of that, just the constant looting for these components (which don’t even stack) and the near impossibility of getting high quality slices from having to loot at places like DWB. Also, another little ‘poke’ to each Smuggler is the pain-staking, complicated explanations we I have had to give to every single customer we I get about all the options each of them has. For example: the loot that is required (along with the prices of all that loot) and the different stages they can choose from.


This petition is only asking that the old slicing system be put back in and no more of this loot-based slicing. We I understand that there are many more priorities that need to be dealt with, but we I ask that you just show a little bit of love for the Smuggler Community me by doing this for us me. This is not asking a great deal but just a small cuddle-like encouragement from you to show that you DO still care about us me as we feel we have been neglected for a long time now.


Please SHOW us that you still care about us me by simply giving us meback our old slicing system back.

That is a nice point, but considering how hard it is to even get the parts at the moment...

I love the new system.


I hate how the components don't stack, but that's what a 50-backpack is for. I've learned to deal and get around it.


They are rare components after all. 20 slots are devoted to simple toolkits and I carry 6 each of the level 3 components. and two each of the ICBs and Triggers. They need to fix the loot system anyways as loot never seems to find it's way into my backpack anyways.


I've gotten more requests for slices in the last eight days than I have in my toon's lifetime. (Or so it seems.) I like the idea that's the components are harder to get. (Just take them off the uber mobs please?)

Definite /antisign.


The only thing I'd change about our current system is making slicing components the rewards for smuggling type missions. Other then that, I'd much sooner keep it as it is then go back. I like being able to predict and control my slice effects.


I anticipate that our smuggler missions are comming soon. There are alot of other professions that need a fix however, so be patient. Consider, wouldnt you rather see;



  1. Creature handers finally being on even keel with everyone else in combat? These poor guys have put up with far more then we smugglers have. I'll take a bow to thier getting fixed because we're at least functional... they're not.

  2. Bio Engineers being able to craft buffpacks with longer durations, and much stronger woundpacks.

  3. Wouldnt you rather see bio clothing working first?

  4. Factional armor- fix the bug!

  5. Bio Engineer pets showing proper stats and level 10 mounts actually being mountable.

  6. Combat droids- wouldnt you like to see these back up to speed again?

  7. Rangers... oh lord dont get me started!

There are a miriad more issues spanning from professions like those poor commandos and squad leaders to our missing galacitic civil war revamp.


Point is we should take a look and go "what would I rather see first?" Personally, there are alot of things I'd rather the devs fix before they get to our smuggling missions. This is mostly because we're at least functional now... some of these other professions... well, lest just say I feel terrible for them.

In a word, 'wow'.


Since the slicing chnages were made I've read a lot of hate on these forums towards it (among other things), which led me to create this thread(which i can see wasbig mistake..) Despite what has been said, i still personally hate the new slicing system, but I respect each of your opinions.


I just cannot see the fun in trying to spend ages looking for 1 looted item just to get 1 good slice...
