Smuggler is the profesion I wanted to play ever since the game came out - the first profession I have mastered and the one I will always keep. I will master some of the other professions but only as long as I can keep master smuggler. I don't feel the need to be some ub3r l337 d00d. I don't need a game to prove myself. It is fun if you decide to make it fun. You can whine about the slicing or the spices or the combat, OR you can find what makes it fun. Slices might be off balancced due to holo grinders or care-bear smugs, but people still need us to slice there weapons. Even when I had the novice smuggler tag I had people asking me to slice their stuff. I took some - sent others to master smugglers. But I interacted and met people. People that still come back to me today for slicing. These are also the people I go hunting with. I am also an important part of guild functionality due to my ability to buy FP and get perks at a discount.As for combat as a smuggler we have delay shot and knockdown - though not always effective in individual PVP - when you get a large battle going on it is good support stuff for other people on the team. Of course it is a matter of when those shotsfinally land - and when supplemented by some pistol skill - that happens alittle more frequently.


But in the end... it is all about style kid. You play what you want to play. Don't let some one else tell you to have fun you have to play this. These are my experiences, go have your own, and I am sure they will be equally entertaining.

I Love smuggler.


we do have a nice combination of crafting and combat. Although we're not very good at either. For me the fun comes with player interaction. Take the time to read " A chuckle for the Smuggler " thread. As much as we all complain and roll our eyes about all the whack-O's who come to us for slices......It's stories like those, that keep our profession interesting.


If you're looking for huge cash....The GCW is gonna have to heat up before it can easily be done with smuggler.


If you're looking for uber combat.....Smuggler may never be the class for you.


But if you're looking for fun based on player interaction, Smuggler IMO has more to offer than any other profession.

Smuggler rocks, for me. I'm not uber, but I have a good time and that's what it's all about

I like smuggler, you can get the largest base for much less than non-smugglers

I'm a Master Rifleman so I can kill things, I'm a TK 4000 so I can heal myself when things try to kill me, I'm a scout 0040 so I can sell the hides and meats from the stuff I sell, and I'm a Master Smuggler cause it's the one prof that's actually fun.

It's not that Smuggler isn't fun ... it can be a a great deal of fun. But...


1) You cant actually smuggle anything (yet) .... so accept that and you'll be 50% to having fun in the smuggler profession

2) ... There aren't many in game mechanics to make smuggler an exciting thing to be. Because of this It's rather a social profession. Our combat ability is...not uber. You'll hear MANY smuggler talking about RPing the profession. It's an iconic profession in Star Wars and in the game as a smuggler you have to actively find ways to make it fun for you.


If you can have fun in a profession that isn't likely to make you uber or rich...and dont need to smuggler as a smuggler ... you can in fact have alot of fun at it.
