yea great letter, really, I mean it.

but be real, it's because of we're like that, that we'll NEVER get things done, just see what happened until now, we took EVERY kick in the nuts, with a GREAT smile, showing that we aint no dogs. really I think it's cool.

but in the meanwhile, look what happened all around us, jedi whiners, BH whiners, whatever whiners, THEY ALL GOT WHAT THEY ASKED FOR, within weeks, when did they first talked about jedi revamp, when did they first talked about smuggler revamp ? players who play jedi whined, petitionned, made what's worst on a forum, and they GOT WHAT THEY WANTED RIGHT IN TIME. while us, at every delaying announcement, were acting like a "quality community", trying to get dev's point and puting our anger deep within our B.... and what did we get ? nothing, we were promised a revamp with JTL, we didn't even get a word on it since months. all our great ideas, neglected, all our content spread over, open for anyone, all our bugs, still here, our master box, still blank. we have to STOP acting like dogs, I agree with that, we have to stop letting us beaten in our nuts and do like everyone else does to get what we want: make our voices heard.

I'm all for peaceful solutions, but that's not how our developpement team works.

No offense bro, but you have to open your mind to this idea. Jedi whined, made a mess of the forums,and petioned hard. They caused a ruckus, but in the end they got what they wanted. What you might not be aware of is the effect that had on the rest of the game.


Would you care to honestly tell me how many times you have heard or have personally made complaints that the devs chose to fix the Jedi despite the changes needed to other professions... despite changes that were needed in the combat system... DESPITE changes that were needed for SMUGGLERS??? I could burn down our planet with the flames from people angry that Jedi were given attention instead of critical parts of the game.


Jedi got what they wanted, but the whole game got screwed because of it. I hope you keep that in mind about the critical parts of this game. I for one am not going to support raising hell and destroying relations both with developers and players just to get what I want for the smuggler profession. The squeeky wheel gets the grease, but a whole lot of other wheels in this game are bearing alot more weight than our profession okay. You know this is true.Like it or hate it, you are just going to have to accept it, move on, and stop making so much annoying noise that I can't even think straight!


Constructive noise, good. Raising hell, umm.. not so good. Think of the kittens and think of the community.

Your post made me proud to still be a smuggler.


As long as I pay SOE, I will wear the master smuggler title.

Well said Datink. I didn't read the whole "flamefest," but I can only imagine what a group of broken spirits can say. I believe that karma will catch up with our profession someday.

Yeah, I felt bad about the reception yesterday - but on the positive side the forum showed how self-correcting it could be.


We were leaning hard astern yesterday, but with cooler heads managed to right ourselves quickly before toppling.


Kudos on the post

Tiggs, Ezkiel (aka Goliath)....thank you. It is nice to see you both here!

Yes.....


Five Stars for hippy bashing


Oh, and the other stuff was good too


Told GarVa earlier (while getting help with some Lithium problems) I may even have to apologize to TH for a comment I made that got me banned. Was kind of harsh when something else would have gotten the point across.
