Han made a profit out of helping Jedi, neh? Got the princess, too!
The princess? Was she trapped in a castle? Or at the top of scaffolding? did he dodge barrels and/or stomp goombas?
Sorry, let me rephrase my statement then: If it's a hot jedi lady, then heck yeah...now if it's some burly sweaty guy then I'll pass.

Well it depends, if it was a hot Twi'lek lady jedi then heck yeah...if it's some burly sweaty Zabrak then I'll pass.
Oh I see. its all about the Twi's is it? Nevermind that us Zabrak chicks are twice as hot and any tenticle headed dancing girl, or that we're ALWAYS horny.
It's the eyebrows isn't it? You like them because they get eyebrows and we don't. Piggish males!
Fine. Be that way. You can HAVE your Twilek jedi floozies! But when you have a beer an no bottle opener THEN I bet you'll wish you had a girl with horns instead of head-tails!
HPMPH!!
Because this is not content, this is nothing more than a tool for one profession to feel more secure in their grind.....pure and simple.
Read the original post, I mean really read it. This is nothing but a idea of a way to grief other players, by using another profession as nerf tool, as a Smuggler I am disgraced at the thought.
Now the Smuggler Revamp idea in the IN CONCEPT folder.....thats content.

So don't do it. If you don't like slicing, don't slice. If you don't like selling faction, don't sell faction. If you don't like listening to twis who talk with their head wave tail things then too bad because you can't turn that off.
Point is, if you don't have to do something there's no reason to call out for others to be unable to do it. You lose nothing from added content.
I want Smugglers to be able to afk-dance in Cantinas, so we can heal BF and mind-buff our fellow citizens.
Who cares if you don't like it, you don't have to do it. But I want to
Point is: If this was our added content, Smugglers would lose a whole lot of flair. We'd turn from scoundrels to sidekicks. We'd merely be an offspin off another profession, caught forever in some fancy hunting mini-game. And quite honestly, I'd be losing my face as a 'serious' Smuggler.
This suggestion has like nothing to do with Smugglers, every other combat profession would be as good as it, if not even better. But then we'd be back in the good old GTEF days. I'm a Smuggler damnit, not someone else's tool.

The way I look at it is that for better or worse, love it or hate it, the game revolves around Jedi. It's the games endgame. It's in all the promo material.
This idea would turn a smuggler into just a big of a tool as existing bh. Both get content directly related to Jedi. Both have a *choice* to access that content. If you wanna view yourself as a sidekick because you pull someone's ass out of the fire over and over, that's your prerogative. I prefer to view it more positively. Also, if you don't think some people already view you as their slicing tool, you're mistaken.
Personally, I'm for anything that adds content to smugglers. This would be a gateway to further content like getting bh's sent after us and the like. I would much rather land my YT at Jabba's palace, pick up a crate of spice and have to deliver it to some guy in the Theed cantina, dodging the imperials, rsf, and other pirates out for my booty. But I'll take what I can get and will support anything to forward that end.

Bounty squads are unbalancing the game against the nerfed Jedi at the moment because Jedi can't get help from anyone else during a bounty fight.
The Devs could make Master Smugglers able to assist Jedi.Luke Skywalker's best friend was a smuggler who helped him out in more than a few tight spots. I think Master Smugglers should be allowed to help Jedi who are being hunted by BH's. That would make Master Smugglers VERY popular.
And it goes along with the underworld connections theme, too. Smugglers can deal with people who otherwise could not be dealt with. Since Jedi are considered part of the underworld in the Empire, nothing could make more sense, IMO.
The game mechanic could be something similar to /consent, where a Jedi can consent one (and only one) Master Smuggler to assist him (the same way someone needs to consent a doc to get rezzed). This would make bounty squads more tolerable, and maybe even more fun to deal with, if the BH's didn't know what to expect.
It would make a single BH work harder to catch a Jedi alone.
It would make a group of BH's work harder when a Jedi is in a group.
It would relieve some of the Jedi's frustration with gank squads.
It would boost the Smuggler profession.
It would not break continuity, as smugglers operate outside the normal legal channels anyway. In fact, it would enhance continuity.
Overall, it would also encourage group play.
*edit* - Also, the Jedi would stop crying for a Last-Ditch nerf if it could be used to their advantage in a fight.

No, this doesn'tThis adds content to smugglersSmuggler Update: Smuggling Experiencehttp://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_concept&message.id=22234and BH's are in these plans as well
I'm thinking that our definitions of smuggler content must differ
I believe anything that smugglers can do that others can't is smuggler content. Anything new smugglers can do that others can't is new smuggler content. Nobody can help jedi vs bh's. If smugglers could, it'd be added smuggler content.
That's my take on it.
