Thread: I got robbed by a smuggler
Yes - this incident does suck and I have never conducted business this way.
But it is true that smugglers are not the most reputable business people. Say all you want about Han Solo being an honest person. He didn't have bounty hunters after him for no reason!
Smugglers are all about one thing: MONEY! Irregardless of the danger or perils involved - it is about the money!
There will always be people that do things that anger us and disappoint us whether IRL or in SWG. You now know not to deal with that person again so I consider it a cheap lesson. A handfull of mission can get any weapon back that is lost.
I personally do not understand why one would go anywhere else if there are slicers in their PA.
Such is life.

SOE could borrow something from Mythic for this to make it more secure. You put the item on the ground and since it is yours only can pick it up, but the smuggler can click on it and have the option to slice it. Another option would be to make items available for slicing from the trade window. Just put it up for trade with the smuggler, the smuggler clicks on it and the radial menu shows the option to slice. Could even include a confirmation in the trade that you agree to have your item sliced.
The idea is to improve the acceptance of having items sliced so that smugglers have a greater chance to use this skill. Added benefit would be fewer cases of this happening and fewer CSR troubles.
They are coming to us to perform a business transaction. They knew the risks when they got involved.
The person will eventually lose business and she (it) should be ostracized from the Smuggler community.

It sucks to get screwed over... but sometimes you have to just risk it.
