Thread: A chuckle for the smuggler
Although I love being a master smuggler, I dont walk around with the Tag, and certainly not the slicer tag either. I dont like being bugged... So, what do I use instead? Surveyer. Kinda cool for PvP, a Surveyer kicked your butt. Im just checking things out... I have already given up artisan for points, but kept the tag.
Anyhow, I was watching a dancer when I get this tell:
"Hey can you make me some wookie clothing?"
I thought to myself- WTH? oh, ya the tag...
Reply: "Sorry I can't, try a tailor"
Then, a couple days later, while on my speeder:
"Greetings, I was wondering if you might help me"
I think, "Wow, someone who can type!"
Reply: "Yes, what do you need?"
"Im a bit new to the game, and have lost my CDEF pistol, I was wondering if you could make me a new one."
...
"Uh, you might want to try a weponshop"
"Do you know of any that have CDEF pistols?"
I think- hum, good point. "Well, you should be able to get one free (or something better) from almost anyone you bump into."
And now, I am annonymous.
ok I am a master Droid Engineer. I was sitting in fromt of my Shop, there was a high vein of resource tehre and smapling as i made a few droids for my vendor...
/Dude: hey slice my armor.
/me: sure i charge 10K
did not mention to him i was busy..
/dude: man what your crazy I willfind someone else to do it you charge to much for doing nothing...
Next Day...i was doing the same thing inf ront od my shop building Droids..I am in a Crafting mood can you tell?
/Dude hey slice my set of Comp armor.
/me sure i charge 10K
/dude oh your that guy.
/me what guy
/Dude: only smuggler on the server that charges 10K
notice he still had not been able to get his armor sliced.... LOL.
motto currently -10K a slice or the Cheap Bastards price 3K with a random chance i run off with your stuff-

*Silence*
Now seriously folks, this guy wanted me to just give away knowledge and skills my character possessed, that is entirely wrong. And the worst part was that this came form another Smuggler, I thought we were supposed to be intellegent... Either the guy was a holo chaser or we need to do some selective weeding of the ranks
It seems to me that the schematic created by the armorsmith is unique to the armorsmith. He can use experimenting and resources of various qualities in various stats to create myriad types of composite armor.
Your clamp schematic, on the other hand, is cookie cutter. It is no different in quality or effectiveness than the clamp created by any other schmuck who has the Slicing IV box. The schematic doesn't reflect your knowledge and it doesn't reflect your skills.
I know you think the silence you were answered with is some sort of victory, but I assure you it is not.
By the way, when I was working on the Slicing tree with my character on Corbantis, I had a smuggler make a schematic for me.
Free of charge.
The thread is still funny (lol) I meant the serious, rl, downer inducing recent part 
As an aside, not a smuggler story but since I am a smuggler it's darn well gonna be.
A guildmate and I decide to both team up and get Nym's Badge. We're in the pirate cave (both near master pistoleers as well) just blasting away and I see him loot a twin force crystal. I comment on voice chat "Woah, dude. Nice loot, check your inventory." A little later I loot and get an item and he just busts out laughing over chat. I check my inventory and see that the Karmic god of smuggler reaming (j/k) has been at work again. A wooden staff. It all turned around the next time when I got a ... CDEF pistol...
