No problems not slicing here. My Master tag is always up, but I'm never searchable, so if someone wants slicing, they have to find me (no looking up criminals in the phone book).
However, I'm currently playing hermit in the wilds of Corellia, waiting for some old guy to come around and tell my currently Force-glowing self that he can now go experience the new content in the game.
Therefore, noone will find me for slicing until who knows when.unless you are a grinder, go back to your criminal actiivites, another deve **edit** up
Well, I wasn't a grinder, but it looks like that will change for the forseeable future. I want that second slot!
P.S. The old guy showed this morning, so it looks like the grinding's about to start...
I'm a tri-master like you Renn, I'm not too worried about the FS grind. I've got max combat exp, max ua, max pistol... and I should be getting a bunch of trees for free. I just have to make sure that I don't get the exp branches I already could buy on my own.
Other than that, I'm not too upset by having to grind a few million ua or pistol exp if required, I'll just pad my bank account with some more janta missions.
And yes, the single-pull slicing is still retarded.

Due to my limited inventory space (backpack full of crates, inventory full of weapons, armor and clothes) I only have so much room for half the armor at a time and this is even worse having to pull out clamps and upgrade kits. As of yesterday I gave up slicing- infact I may just drop master smuggler just down to dirty fighting 4. That and my consistantly terrible slices.

(Originally posted this in another thread, but i think its more relevant here.)
Things were supposed to start looking up for the smuggler, and now they go and make slicing, which is already extremely tedious (especially when you cant even pick your own slice, or have to keep closing the colour palette menu while slicing backpacks of armour for people) even more annoying. Wasnt bad enough that slicing was alreadyfrustrating due to the aforementioned reasons, that the spice tree was dumbed down with the advent of doc/entertainer buffs and food, that our underworld tree enables us to evade scans (which any imp can do), speak any language (which every buffoon can do), and hold a mere 500 FP from the thousands we actually require.
The only tree that isnt truly borked is the DF line, but even that needs some unarmed mods to justify the unarmed prerequisite, and not to mention some pistols mods because the pistoleer profession is even more badly broken.
All im saying is, there was already a plethora of problems with the profession, and there was little need to add to the pile. Its a small issue if you look at it from a pinhole,but when you add the rest of theproblems, it no longer seems miniscule. I dont believe that i should 'pacify' myself and look at other professions to see how broken they are. I already know whats wrong with them. That shouldnt make me feel better about my class...It should make me feel worse about the overall game. Ieven recall reading somewhere that TH expatiated on this beinga bug of some sort and that it would be fixed.
Until then, however, ive added the reason as to why i no longer slice for the public in my info screen. Whenever someone sends a tell my way, i politely request them to examine my info. The money's not worth the annoyance factor to me, so other smugglers on Bria are welcome to take over. 
I do, however, have faith in the smuggler revamp changing things for the better when it is finally released. Until then, people will advise me to simply enjoy the game, and im following their advice to the T. I dont enjoy slicing anymore, so whats the sense in doing it?
