I once said a long time ago, make every profession as much funas jediand less people will want it.My profession and so many others are nothing more then a steping stone to jedi. Just something to do until you unlock. I use to be a bad ass in PVP with my triple threat I use to be an indemand slicer, Ive never been able to smuggle and ive never really felt like Han Solo but I always held out hope that we would in fact recieve a re-vamp. After 2yrs of BS I see now it may very well never happen and Smuggler will be just another time kill to get to jedi. Im right there with you veela, as a smuggler threw and threw it sucks to log in and no longer feel like someone special, it sucks to feel like ive wasted my time in hoping the the person I want to be in star wars will never be all he can and should be. It sucks that i dont play the GCW cause of jedi's I dont go overt cause of jedi's and I dont feel like a bad ass anymore cause of jedi's.
What sucks most of all is SOE will never read this thread or care about anything but Jedi and the bottom line.
QFE
Eloquent and straight to the point.
To the comments about grouping.. "Roles" in combat are lame.. Seeing this game become EQ/WoW is what kills me.. I dont wanna play a damn "chanter" or whatnot.. I am a Master SMUGGLER.. I have waited so long its sick to fill my "role" in the game.. Its still not here and rather than getting the ability to live my title.. I get a new "role" and new rules..
I felt sickest the day I say a message preCU of what to expect.. I read "Dont think of it as relearning SWG, but rather a whole new game"
So who here asked for a new game?.. I know I didnt...

this sums it up perfectly.
Since Veela kind of dedicated this thread to Saakek, SpinningCloud and all the other Vet Smugglers leaving, I´d like to quote the following post:

Have you people lost your marbles? Or respeced out of Smuggler or something?
What is all this "we love Tiggs", "let's appologize to Tiggs", and "let's show the Devs some love" BS?
Let's see...
1. When exactly was the last time Tiggs came to this forum with anything USEFUL for us?
2. When exactly was the last time a DEV came to this forum with anything SUEFUL for us?
3. How long have we been waiting for a revamp?
4. Have the devs started communication on our revamp now that the CU is live?
Someone please explain why we are drooling all over Tiggs and the devs again, I must be dense or something.
I can hear their hallway comments now; "Hey, the Smugglers are happy with us, we can postpone that revamp again with fear of their ire."

Why does the playerbase continue to be treated like dog **** on a sidewalk? Why do you think that Jedi are your pathway to success? This is a community...Entertainers and Crafters have made this community a hundred times more "fun" and "exciting" than any amount of Jedi you can throw at me...and you've decimated their numbers by taking their complexity and their usefulness away from them.
You know what the sad fact about this statement is? If you look at all the player feedback threads on bugs and such after a publish, you will notice that about 80% of the people posting their bugs and complaints on publishes are jedi. I knew I was a second class SWG citizen last time I checked one of those threads and that was what I saw. Of course the devs think that jedi is their cash cow in this game, they are the outspoken minority, if their even a minority anymore
It seems that the more a profession complains the more attention they get...fix the squeaky wheel and all that...maybe we should all pick a date here on the smuggler forum and the next time they put up a patch feedback thread we all need to post our complaint about not smuggling (as well as anything else we can think of) and try our best to get as many of our fellow smugglers to do this at the same time. Maybe a dev reading through 80 or more back to back smuggler posts in there will peak their interest in doing something or maybe (gasp) post some sort of info for us.
Of course, I can't live without oxygen so I'm not holding my breath till they do
This poster will be banned in....5....4....3....2....1....(poof)

I agree whole heartedly with everything in this post. I don't think it is negative criticism, but rather constructive crticism. I must admit though reading through it, I was half expecting to have it deleted so that I could not finish all the pages!
I have been a smuggler since the start of this game, and like most posting here have always held out hope for content, a re-vamp on our prof, and the feel that you are a smuggler like our Star Wars hero's. I will continue to play the game as I too have friends that I would miss.
But please devs, don't take this as a slight. we are asking you to help us please.
Hope that this gets into the right hands.

He's being polite. I won't.
Get off of your butts and do what you promised to do. Stop misleading and lying to your paying customers. Stop favoring one profession above all others. 2 years is too long to wait for something you should have done right from the start.
It's not rocket science. Open up the lines of communication and try being honest for a change. It's good foryour karma.

You could post it in every profession forum...however, I don't think you'd get far, since the mods seem to frown upon cross server trolling.
I really wouldn't recommend that. The moderators would just summon the CSR SS to these forums and start deleting and banning people left and right for all the "COC violations" of late. I'm hoping they're just taking a respite and letting us vent this anger that they caused (if so, thanks).
