No offence Wes, but it seems pretty pointless getting anything from Tiggs. She's more tight-lipped than any actual Dev I've ever seen.

If a dev had answered we may have got a bit more.


These answers are from the designer, Tiggs got those answers and posted them.

I think you already relied the smuggler community's opinion on those "answers" to Tiggs. Did she give any kind of reaction?

1. I have never, nor will ever, brownose anything or anyone. I am sorry that I cannot share the overwhelmingly negative views of many.


2. Day one player, only ever been a smuggler, Eclipse's Third Master, yada yada yada. SWG is my first online gaming experience, so maybe I am naive.


I don't get it people. Seriously, I have never seen so much bitter anger in all my life. I am a smuggler yet I get shunned because I am not part of the hate everything SOE bandwagon. I KNOW what it's like to not have things go our way, to have our moves nerfed, to be made promise after promise, to have slicing xp removed, to get cast aside consistently... but guess what?


I AM STILL HAPPY IN SWG.


Everyday I login I find exciting and smugglery things to do. I have an underworld empire on Eclipse. I do live events on Eclipse. I RP on Eclipse. I go hunting. I create the game as I go. There is nothing SOE could do to take my game enjoyment.


So I honestly and simply don't get it. What am I missing that justifies everyone's choice to be blinded to any potential good done? Did I miss something in the last 2+ years that you all saw? Was I not "in the loop" somehow?


Please, tell me what gives our community the right to be so bloody depressing and then expect anyone to pay attention to us at all?

Wes mate we REALLY need you to fight this one for us. Let the devs know what a S**T storm they created by telling us we cant Smuggle in Space. That we may not get missions from high level criminal NPC's (Jabba, Valarian etc) and we wont be getting hunted anytime soon. It stinks mate, it really REALLY stinks. We have waited to Smuggle for 2 years and now the devs are telling us we wernt specific eneough to call it Space Smuggling


Here some Beer and some Pie and a cloak that makes you invisible to the ravaging of the devs, i hear there base is in some far off land that is always dark and that they live next to a mountain of fire.



oh and heres a yorkshire pudding but dont tell the americans of it for once they taste its goodness they to will want one

OK OK good to u if u can RP and play with this game like u want (even in the Multie player Modus fom Jedi Knight Dark forces 2, I did RP)


but with the entier Loot system; with all the content that need a Jedi in your party; with all the Jedi/BH support. Every body on my Server is


1- JEDI, or want be a Jedi.just grinding for XP there is no time left for RP


2- he is a BH and try to kill the Jedis, or just making missions for the loot


3- a Loot hunter, 100% of our Guild event was loot hunting events



and who's fault is that? the game system is making poeple what they are........



......hmmmmm..?!!! maybe I should change my server, hier on Gorath there is no1 who make RP

Wes. this isn't even close to satisfactory, I really hope you've echoed the community's sentiments on this. We were "told" that we were a space based profession, we all bought into that...now the powers that be are saying "No?"



What does Tiggs think about all of this? Does she think that this is "fair"? I know this information came from a designer, but come on, Is anybody out there willing to stand upor at least recognize whats been going on with the smuggler profession? Are they not aware of the promises that were made?


Jeezus, i'm going to have to grind out Ranger, because that seems to be the only way, outside of my own little overactive imagination, that i'm going to get any type of Smuggler'esqe content...and that's sad.


I hope you're fighting Wes, but you wont be able to do this alone...and its obvious that they dont listen to the non-Jedi Playerbase at all.

Bug fixes. Heh! Smuggling. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.

My SWG Observations

If they stopped the expansions for one year and gave quality revamps to the professions that need it most, many people would resubscribe.
With all the resubs, and the new players, there would then be plenty of money to hire enough people to do 2-4 quality revamps per year plus 1-2 larger expansions per year and/or 2-4 smaller expansions per year, and not give the BigWigs a pay cut. (Possibly even an increase)
