Count me in for any protest/revolt. =D

Also...if we all make a char on one server and protest on that one (hundreds of smugglers in one spot) it will be more effective because there will be more people. Protest on one server one day, and then on the next another day. We would need kind and generous people to provide travel money for the people making chars on that server to be part of the protest.

I think your idea is a noble one, but I don't think it's very realistic.


I have to slice armor for my business.


However, I'm going to start to refuse to slice for anyone that isn't a customer.


As smugglers become harder to find, perhaps other players will ask the devs to fix the profession so the smugglers to come back.


Honestly, if it weren't that I had to slice my own armor before I sold it, I wouldn't be a smuggler at all. There's no point.


The smugglers of SWG bare absolutely no resemblance to the beloved Han Solo of the real star wars.


But buck up. I mean, how many master smugglers do you really see around anymore?

You think anyone here, at this particular moment, really cares if they are banned from this game? No, I see a group of my fellow players that have had enough. And I support them 100%. If powers that be see fit to ban anyone because they put on a protest because of the way we have been treated, then so be it I say.

Ok, this is a good idea. What we would need to do first is post on our server forum what our intent is. Tell all Smuggler's to send us a mail in-game to join the Smuggler's Union.
You wouldn't need to get all smuggler's on the server to participate, you'd only need about 40-60% of them in the union to cause a Major economic break-down of that server.
You'll also need to get a group-mail system going in-game and for one week, whoever joins participates in finding other smugglers on that server. They send them tells and get them to join.
Once you have what you feel is enough people in the Union, you can then discuss what needs to be done to "make a statement." You schedule out the statements in an orderly fashion, such as....
1. Price Hike for a month. Outragious prices! (letting the public know why of course)
2. Walk-offs, i.e. strikes for a certain period of time.
3. Public announcements, encouraging the general public to understand, empathize, and participate in our cause.

Should one of our smugglers wish to quit, make sure the signs are up and advertised as to why he left the game.

There's a difference between a large number of wookies gathering in theed and smugglers refusing to render any services. If a dev wants to ban smugglers based on refusing to slice items/sell faction, then they might as well ban all of the other players who limit production or refuse to take requests.

What's being proposed here is no different then dropping the profession and everyone going their seperate ways. However, while refusing to continue our usual service(s) and keeping our profession, we still have our place.

We're not marching in Theed on every server in large numbers. We're just deciding to put the same amount of time in our profession as the devs: zero, zilch, nadda, none, zip...

::: to self ::: NOW they wanna do it... =)


FOLKS: I am organizing a Theed "Feign-In" for this Friday night at 12am EST. I'm in-game searching for any smuggler profession, and sending emails to all I find. I'm encouraging that each person try to spread the word. I've ven gotten some non-smugglers in on this, who are going to tell other people. Even clients and buddies of mine are going to tell other people! This is on NARITUS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to organize your galaxies into doing this! Of the few guys I've talked to directly, they have all shown interest! If you can create a character on Naritus that would be fine too.


Basically it's a protest to get us our 'bone' thrown to us in some sort of mini-publish or something. We all know the revamp can't be done any sooner than it's been pushed back to. This is for what we are OWED for them taking so long!!

Long time reader/information gatherer of this forum, first time poster.


Letting you know you can count me in on this endeavour.


I do have one quick question regarding the slice strike...


Would it be immoral, or wrong to slice for guild mates? No slices to the public I can handle, and as I am the only smuggler of my guild, and my guild mates all know of the battle for a smuggler revamp, was wondering what the public opinion on this would be.
