Thread: Here is the really sad part
Right, she's paid, but still a fall-guy er... fall-girl. I'm not particularly thrilled with Tiggs, but I'm more enraged with SOE management than her atm.

The difference between Wes and Tiggs is Tiggs gets paid to communicate with us. It's her JOB!
Just to clarify a bit: I am personally not pleased with all of the decisions and policies of SOE, and I feel that they are very much lacking in the "effective communication" department overall. I have commented on this several times in the past.
I have seen no improvement in communication since Gordon Walton's letter to the SWG community. As such, I saw no reason to jump on tthe "We dig Tiggs" bandwagon a while back. Regardless of your opinion of Tiggs, did anyone really think that the "We digs Tiggs" campaign would accomplish anything? Tiggs (as has been pointed out) is simply a mouthpiece for SOE...she doesn't write the Smuggler code and she doesn't make the decisions regarding game development. But the "We dig Tiggs" campaign did accomplish one thing: it allowed a lot of people to fool themselves into thinking everything was "just about" to be fixed...all based on(another) vague post by Tiggs. Now that they (still) haven't gotten better, and Tiggs has made a routine (and vague) announcement that suggests we are (still) notpriority right now,all her "fans" have turned on her. I'm not defending Tiggs or SOE, just pointing out how ridiculous this looks.

You have a point, but I believe the devs did say that the smuggler profession would be 'top priority' after combat upgrade, some time ago. So they had some reason to feel optimistic and (IMO) wanted to encourage communication on the subject.
But yeah, they did eat it raw - but it's still a cold-served dish from SOE. We just got caught with our guard down for a month or two, thinking we'd getsome sort of monumentaldeliverable after the upgrade went live. Of course, in the interest of not making themselves look like idiots, SOE decided it would be slicing. Whee!
