Most certainly. It promotes thebarbaric slavery and gladitorial systems of the past...
You "gotta have 'em all" to forcefully send them into battle where they try to dround, shock, beat, smother, poison, hypnotize, and burn their opponents who are also forced into battle.
It sickens me.
Isn't that a fairly accurate description of the CH profession in SWG?

I laughed at Pokémon! Especially that little cat that follows around the bad guys. That little sh1t is hilarious

That's just plain sad. Worst part is... it's all true.
Hopefully the Devs will read that and have a nice little wake-up call. But I doubt that'll happen. They'll read it and think we need to be nerfed even more. "How dare Smugglers still be able to walk! We must nerf their kneecaps."

Aaagh!...'tis because we are similar to the Black Knight. They may nerf us until we have no arms, but we shall never surrender.
*This scene has been modified to fit your forum*
"Look, you stupid b@stard. You've got no arms left."
"Just a flesh wound."
"What are you going to do, BLEED on me??"
"The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then... Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!"

clicky Game Pro announced the shame list for 2004, SOE claims 2 of the 20 spots, one for their treatment of smugglers!

Well its nice to see that someone was thinking of us. Now if we could just get SOE on board maybe we would have a re-vamp within like 27 months or so.

What i really want to see is the SOE damage control reaction to our "used and abused" situation being sited by an online gaming mag as one of the top game shames of the year. Maybe they've made a statement somewhere that i havent seen, but i'm at work and havent really searched too well.

SOE got hit hard in that article. First with SWG and Smugglers, and then with EQ2 launches and no one cares. lol

Outstanding!! They sure weren't going to listen to us directly (no offense to Caylin or Wes, of course), but maybe some public humiliation will hit the bottom-line harder than we ever could.
