Agreed, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't still be bumped. I'd prefer it that every new smuggler that comes to these boards read this, along with all the other info posts, as I think it's essential they're aware of the history so far so that they can judge for themselves whether they want to risk waiting for a revamp. They may be satisfied with smuggler as it is now and that's great for them, but I think it's best they have all the information so thatthey can decide.
Yup. Everyone should use the Thread bookmark feature for this, and the Follow Up post to make sure the DEVs cant jsut wait for the thread(s) to die and ignore them.

Guys...seriously...this is never gonna see a response from a Red name...
Yellow?...maybe...but not red...
I'm sure it's been read...but this will never be replied to by the people it addresses...
*just 2 creds from a Smuggler who's been around long enough to know...
I agree
when I made the thread I made it knowing that there would never be a red name post in it

Well, I'd like to think he has read it but you know as well as I that this is a dangerous thread for him to appear in.
I sent him a link to this thread quite a while ago, I'm pretty sure he's checked it out.

Well, even though Im not a smuggler yet, Id like to comment on this. Its not the fact that they said that they werent giving a smuggler re-vamp (Although they didnt say they werent giving one, but did deny that they said that they were giving us a re-vamp.) but the fact that they lied and basically gave us a slap in the face. Its like saying to your child "Yes, Ill buy you a <insert random child-like toy here>" and then saying to your spouse "Oh no, I was'nt going to get him a toy! Sorry Little-Timmy, I didnt mean what I said!"...
Its a matter of integrity.

Well being a Master Smuggler for over eight months now, I would feel I and many others deserve some sort of reply, I mean don't we all pay their wages?

Hmm I don't post often but something of this magnitude is too important to let slip. I don't expect a Dev response but I am hoping the email I got last week in game expressing regret at the delays wasn't the last we here of this. Nice post Fish thanks for the effort.

TH won't be here to talk to us.
Besides, who's going to believe a word any of them say?
I sure as hell don't. I'll trust it when I see it in play, for a month. I knew something was fishy when they didn't have specifics about the Smuggler Revamp as it approached. I knew something was fishy about the 'Combat Pass' when I only read the vaguest promises of its value. They're making piecemeal adjustments now, and not seeking any input on design or implementation.
Where's publish 10?
Guys, it's August this weekend, and they don't have the Beta of JtLS out yet.
Smuggler revamp? Combat Revamp? Give me a break. Everyone with a pulse knows by now that when the Space Ex comes out, it's going to be virtually useless until the first dozen patches slip by. I'd be impressed if they can have something solid (few CTD, general bug-free operation) by the new year. I figure by spring/summer next year, if they still have a player base, they'll consider some smuggling.
I can't blame them for the level of scorching they take on the forums.
They've stopped announcing anything not directly related to sales promotion. They've stopped responding to any kind of questions or criticism. Hell, GreenMarine, who has to be the sharpest guy we've seen yet, hasn't been here in weeks.
I still play because there's some amusing RP in it. When that goes, so do I.

Yeah, it was short and uniformative, led me to believe I should just give up smuggler since it will never really be a viable profession. I mean come on with the doc buffs and Chef revamp spice is selling for 50c per unit that just rediculous. Slicing doesn't work properly, actually it resembles the action your vacuum cleaner makes. I am away from my comp for another few weeks until I move into my house. Just got transfered to Japan so I am out of game I will post the email when I get back to playing. Until then good luck and goodhunting.
