I won't do this....
They said this nerf went in by mistake in a chat, i expect them to re-allow us to auto-pull. I think we are getting too smooth on this... This should have been fixed months ago !

to those of you who say its "no big deal" or "so what, it adds a little more time", that's not the point.
The point is - this was supposed to never see live, that this fix was only "a matter of time." They lied - AGAIN.
If they would have said "Guys, we're going to make a change to "system X" and its gonna break your autopull. We're sorry, but its going to be like this for a while." we wouldn't have a leg to stand on. But this went live with the understanding by us that it was NOT going to go live.
And then to find out that its not even on the horizon to be looked at....grrrrr...

Actually, it's worse than that...
The Auto-pull thing was INITIALLY meant as a botched fix for the laser-knife crate pulling problems. You know, you auto-pull a knife, and you only get one use. They said, "Well ya shouldn't be auto-pulling at all, so we'll take care of it." So they "fix" it with an inconvenience, and somehow, in that fix, neglect to fix the thing the inconvenient broken fix was supposed to repair. Joke's on us.

So I was making some weapons with my weaponsmith just the other day and noticed that I can take items(advanced power handlers) from a crate while crafting. This got me to thinking, if smugglers cant pull itmes from a crate then why can crafters just sellect a crate and it fills the slot up with the number of items it needs.
I still think its no big deal but it is a little unfair if it works for other professions but not ours.

The new publish has nerfed us slicing... we now have to manually pull all of our slicing tools from the crate instead of slicing automatically doing so.
An easy way to change this, choose 4 empty spots on a toolbarpane. I used toolbar pane 6. Place your crates of Molecular clamps, AUK's WUK's and PLK's in the 4 empty slots. I used toolbarSlots f1, f2, f3, and f4.
I put MC's in F1, AUK's in F2, WUK's in F3, and PLK's in F4
Now you can set up an alias...
This way, when you type /auk it will spit out one MC and one AUK instantly... you can even put the crates in your backpack and not have to worry about opening your backpack and manually clickin the crates.
I made a macro that will take out 5 AUK's and 5 MC's plus a PLK in one click.
The following macro is a macro I titled auk.
/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
With the macro above, I can type /macro auk or drag the macro icon to my toolbar and just click it or hit the appropriate fkey and it will activate the macro.
The following macro I titled wuk
/ui action toolbarPane05;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
With the macro above I can type /macro wuk or click the appropriate macro button and deliver 5 wuk's, mc's and one plk.
This is a GREAT aid for bulk slicing... every five items I can type /macro wuk or click the button and be set...
Just remember... we got use to slicing a way that was bugged. The "nerf" of the slicing tools being removed automatically is actually a fix for something we all got used to which was broken... Just because the Dev's did this is by no means a reason to leave the profession.
We are smugglers. With the onslaught of fixes and obstacles, we, the smugglers, will always overcome.
slightly less complicated way to do this..create an alias...just use the chat box
/alias [nameofalias] [/command or list of commands]
----- syntax explained -------
/alias = the command to create an alias.
[name of alias] = what you want to call your alias, you can activate this alias by typing /nameofalias and hitting enter, it will then execute the list of commands behind it.
[/command or list of commands] = the commands that you are assigning to the alias.
so in the chat box type /alias wuk /ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01;

do the same for AUKs and when ever you type /auk or /wuk in the chat box bada bing you pull a clamp and a UK
just keep your crates in a back pack and keep your hot keys straight
