The Server Gods know all- they can read your mind. I wear aluminum foil on my head when I'm slicing.... but even that doesn't help!

Part 2
This guy asks me to slice eleven containers for him. I tell him my game has been glitching and the past few times I've failed on slicing containers for my friends, they've just disappeared from my inventory along with some random items. I also explain it's a 50/50 shot to get them open. I don't want to risk it on someone I don't know. He says he doesn't care. 'Okay,' I say.
I manage six of the eleven, the other five - POOF! Gone. I've also lost a Scout Blaster and about 2k creds. Lovely. I tell him what happens. He flips out, wants to report me. Bla bla bla. I offer to give him compensation if he wants. He accuses me of wanting the containers for myself.
Lesson Learned: be aware of those who don't pay attention to what you say, say they don't care about results, then act like they do.
Part 3
This problem annoyed me often but last night I figured out what was happening and had to smack myself in the forehead as I'm sure you will after reading this.
Now if you have say 54 items in your inventory and 4 of them are locked containers ,and say there is 2 items in each container as you open them. Those 4 containers are no longer 4 items they now count as 12 items. so you now have 66 items in your inventory BUT......the game only allows you to have 60 so the game deletes the last 4 items in your inventory (guess you dropped them) Hope this helps you out

Not much but I found it funny, it happend before publish five so its a while ago:
At a starport waiting for shuttle I read bios to pass the time....
conversation conducted in tells
ME - Wow, you have the most badges Ive seen, after jedi slot?
HIM -unlocked last month, its dull I'm waiting for them to fix it
ME - Sad, still you enjoy the game?
HIM -yeah, I run a shop and do PvP, still fun. Vist me at blah, blah
ME - cool I run a shop too at Blah, blah
HIM -LOL, I renamed your waypoint "Mediocre overpriced guns"
*** you recieve an email ***
ME - LOL I just sold a mediocre T21 for 90k
HIM -LOL, you know Pookoo sells sliced weapons at half that?
ME - more like a quater and where do you think I buy them
I visited his shop and found a load of cheap unsliced armour, I kept the best slices for myself then sold the rest for big markups.

This happened the other night on Dant.
I was slicing for several people that night and was having trouble keeping up with the requests. I get this one guy that hands me a Ubese jacket, (I hate slicing these because the secondaries are so low to begin with some people accuse me of not slicing) I look at this Ubese jacket and the secondaries are 9%. At this point I am thinking come on 34% effectiveness. I get effectiveness at 20%. I give the jacket back to the guy and he mumbles something about giving the wrong jacket and that he was a dumbass. I was thinking that he gave me the wrong jacket and tried to trade him. The trade window just sat there empty until he just nevermind, and walked off.
Three minutes later I get a tell from the guy saying I hope you like how you just tarnished your reputation. I am trying to talk to other customers, and I quickly ask if they could holdso I couldreply to he Ubese jacket guy.
Me: huh?
Him: You gave me the wrong jacket, the one I gave you was badass. This one is crappy.
Me: I have no need to take things from people...why would I want a ubese jacket when I am wearing this comp armor and I just cleared enough credits in the last 45 minutes to buy a set of Ubese of my own if I really wanted another set to add to my collection at home.
Him: I know that's not my jacket.
Me: I know it is your jacket, I just sliced it and gave it back to you.
Him: well I can't see why you would want to take it either...maybe it is my jacket but I swear it is not.
Me: you should pay more attention to what you are giving people...I am sure there are some smugglers out there that are not as honest as I am. (not you guys of course) 
Him: Yeah I guess you are right, thanks for the advise.
Me two hours later : Damn, I bet his armors condition was to zero and he just didn't notice it. The same thing had happened to meon a comp chestplate earlier that day.
Special protection went from ;
Kin 80%
Elect 70%
Base effectiveness
66% everything else
to
Kin 53%
Elect 43%
Base effectiveness
40% something
I was going to send him an email about it but I didn't bother. Screw it!

Hi Yall
I have been a master smuggler for about a month or so now. My best story is as follows.
guy: can you slice my LLC ... im a master BH and a BAD MAN
me: sure (explain pricing and randomness of slicing)
guy: sure I'll pay that ... sounds fair to me.
me: eeewww sorry dude .... 15% damage slice on the LLC. In the spirit of good customer service the slice is free.
guy: accepts trade and walks away.
a few minutes later the guy comes back and begins to curse the air blue and call me every name in the book, question my heritage and even goes so far as to suggest that i mau have had some incestuous relationship with my mother. then challenges me to a duel.
Well at the time I was 0/4/4/0 smuggler. So as soon as he issues the challenge I accept and then immediately feigh death. The guy said "HOLY $h1T I just know knocked you down and didnt even fire a shot!!! Thanks ... That could only have been the force. You just helped me open my jedi slot."
the guy then tipped me 50k credits and went away happy.

On my way to master smuggler and I have a story already.
I buy a container from the bazaar to slice, pay the $5000 credits"Mr. Imp"is asking for it and go about on my merry way. A few minutes later I get a tell from "Mr. Imp" asking if I am a rebel.
I tell him "No, but I am leaning that way"
He goes on a rant about how the rebels sucks and he hates selling things to the rebels but he needed money real fast. This rant goes on about 5-10 minutes in tell. Well I was in Moenia at the time so he left me no choice but to visit the local recruiter and join the Rebellion.
I log on the next day and there is a email from "Mr.Imp" It reads

"I have a container I will let you slice for 8000, but you have to not look inside and give it back to me."
So I ask him "you want to pay me 8000?"
"No you pay me so you get the exp, for it"
"Um, no thanks, besides I am a rebel"
Then the rant started about becoming a rebel...
Welcome to ignore
