Sounds to me that every has given up and accepts everything by making excuses up
its not EVERY change that effects smugglers in fact its very few and we are't TOLD anything about these "little not noticeable" changes
again not a dig at Wes now i know he doesnt get told these "small changes" but a dig at the communcation that has got worse rather than better in this game

I am sure Wes is a hard-working honourable guy - not unlike the Jedi correspondent SonGouki.
The problem is, they are faced by an aggressive and persistent BH correspondent, Tanks. Wes and Son are interested - like almost all of us - in the general balance of the game. Tanks is not. He lobbies always in favour of his profession - fair enough - but at the ezpense of other professions. If you trace back the major combat changes of every publish, you will see they are all slanted towards the Bounty Hunter.
The only reason you lost Feign Death was that Tanks did not want Jedi to use it. Go to the BH forums and read how they are crowing over you.
Don't blame Wes. Blame Tanks.

I suppose I should see what is written on the BH forums sometime but as far as Tanks lobbying for this type of thing much on the c-forum... I haven't really seen it. Maybe Wes has.
I'm just not going to blame any correspondent right now.

Honestly, I couldn't fault Tanks if he was pushing that slant.
Now, before I get flamed, check the logic:
The Correspondent is not the "leader" of their profession, they are the voice. We the players make ourselves heard to the Correspondent who then takes our views before the developers. If Tanks has been pushing for the removal of Feign Death without any form of concession or compensation to the Smugglers, it's only because that's what he's hearing from the whiney Bounty Hunters out there who are too myopic to see beyond what concerns them and them alone. This description does not fit every Bounty Hunter out there, not by a long shot, but it seems to fit the majority of those who have been outspoken on this issue.
In other words, the Correspondents are just doing their jobs... but it doesn't give me a lot of confidence in a development team who is supposed to be working right now on ways to improve our profession when this is the best way they can come up with to resolve this problem.
