Nobody can help jedi vs bh's. If smugglers could, it'd be added smuggler content.
No, its griefing and they already took measures to remove that.
As I said in the Jedi forum, I am done with this for now....its becoming a broken record on both sides.

A lot of constructive feedback here (positive and negative). The rest I'll ignore I guess, except for pie throwing practice, hehe.
I gotta go to school now, so can't check this thread again for a while. So my thought is this: The devs don't want Jedi to be the end-game. I think a lot of people would agree, though it is the goal of many to achieve. Some are so obsessed with it that they pursue it to the detriment of the game. Nothing I can do about that, nothing the devs can do about that either. The same argument goes for BH, like it or not.
I think the real end-game is 'just having fun' for crying out loud. Grinding Jedi is not fun, but the goal is to get to where you can have fun with your friends. This is the only thing I am promoting. There are many ways to achieve this, but I try to make suggestions that help all of us reach that goal.
Disagree with my ideas if you like, but I hope you don't disagree with my hope for the game.
BTW, I have had more fun in the Smuggler forum today than I ever had in the SWG forums before. Thanks, guys!

I'll only sign if they pay us purely in +25 SEAs, as it seems they're the only ones who can loot em!
Bah, Jedi dont need friends, I'm affraid. Not to mention, after all the cries for nerfing my smuggler specials comming from that camp, I'm none too keen on offering them a hand... come to think of it, sure! That way I can tell them no, I wont save you from the big bad BH.

No, this doesn't
This adds content to smugglers
Smuggler Update: Smuggling Experience
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_concept&message.id=22234
and 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.
lemme help you with your defining of Smuggler...
Smuggler - one who smuggles.
smuggle -smug·glev. tr.
- To import or export without paying lawful customs charges or duties.
- To bring in or take out illicitly or by stealth.
now, you tell me where in there it says anything about being a bodyguard to overpowered children with laser swords.

It's right next to the place that says we're crafters who make drugs, up the isle from the paragraph on fiddling wires inside of wooden sticks and bone armor. You can't miss it. Right by the sign that says 'Enchanters Manual'.
Really, there's nothing in our profession at the moment that involves importing or exporting without paying lawful custom charges or duties. Except maybe being able to avoid contraband scans.

which is exactly why i don't want the Devs to even think about adding yet another thing to Smuggler that has nothing to do with smuggling.

Smugglers as body guards for Jedi? No.
Why? When have you seriously heard of a Smuggler in the movies or books being a Jedi's bodyguard? Sure, if the Smuggler and Jedi are in the same group, they'd watch each other's backs, but that's it.
However, you do hear of Bounty Hunters taking roles as bodyguards, one example: Boba Fett guarding Jabba.
Personally, they should just extend the Bounty Hunter system so that every hunter who has a mission on a single person can attack the mark, and other hunters. Then, if you want your bodyguard, simply pay a Hunter to pick up the mission and hold your hand throughout the game. Downside, you still generate visibility.
However, if you're doing anything to get on the terminals, its your fault anyway. Jedi status itself is supposed to be the reward for unlocking, experience loss is the accompanying risk. If you can't keep yourself off the terminals, you're doing something wrong. Jedi should be in hiding, and any player who's unlocked which isn't doing so, should end up getting reset to Padawan because Vader/Aura Sing/et cetera came and killed thier dumb ass.

EXCCCCCUSE ME, maybe you didn't notice that we're talking about Lucy Liu?
