I'm the poster child for getting banned for posting Smuggler-related stuff in other forums. Don't let them do to you what they did to me. It was horrible. My ass still stings...
Somebody hold me.

Don't give me that "It puts the lotion on it's skin" crap again, Saarek.

I bet Smuggler Mission Terminals will appear soon.
I have 2,000,000 Corbantis credits that says otherwise.

Craile, do you honestly think that Smuggler Mission Terminals are going to solve anything regarding the disintegration of player interactivity? Also, Jedi is an individual's choice, I agree...however, when it's a class that's better than the other professions, isn't there a natural inclination by casual and powergamers alike to BE that class, thus making Jedi the mark of success in this game?
This thread isn't just about Smugglers...it's about the decline of the game as a whole when SOE and LucasArts decided to have an "alpha" class and cater to them because they think that the entire game is going to consist of Jedi at some point (they already think the game revolves around them.)

Besides... Smuggler mission terminals would be lame. I'd better be able to get my missions from Jabba, or I'm walking.

That just left me with a crazy idea.
We should all grind out a Jedi character - every last one of us.
Then hang out around Mos Eisley Starport and act like ignorant little buggers and scare off any new players that come into the game.
I'm sure the folks higher up would absolutely LOVE that.

Isn't this already happening on your server? I don't see anyone "higher up" complaining. It's like free advertising.

Why don't we post this thread in every Forum and every day we dumb it until some devs give us an answer.
English is not my native language, so i can't do it well my self. but with your permission Veela i can copy/past it to every forum and change it a bit so it will go nit for Smuggler only but to all other prof except Jedi!!

But you've funneled everyone into Jedi, because that's what you think the 'end game' should be. First off going Jedi iseach individuals choice, no one has funneled anyone anywhere, there is no endgame here really it just keeps going.
I'm sure giving holocrons as a christmas gift in Dec '03 had nothing to do to get you thinking of getting a jedi right ? the rarest item on the server given to everyone, Alot of people got tempted and started doing the grind. Some realised it wasn't for them, some found their way to jedi. During that long period where 90% of my guild was trying to unlock by spending ridiculous hours of grinding instead of interacting with each other . Let me tell you , as a "regular player" it was a blast.
/sigh
There is no end game, but when everything is mostly focused on one profession, it hurts the others, and it does hurt the game. I logged my master dancer yesterday, I was so excited to know they made her useless. So what, she gives you in 2mins 10% xp bonus for 2 hours, the only people coming to watch her are the people hungry for xp to unlock at the village and the new padawans trying to finish their template in the next 6 weeks. You really think someone would pay 15$ a monthto log in an emtpy cantina ? They keep smashing profession after profession.
Here is why so many left for WOW, content, wich SWG was lacking, and for alot of others, nothing else to do. Some said hey, I'll just go jedi because im bored to hell. People should of never been able to solo a krayt, and high PvE content. The only challenge left in the gamewas pretty much the DWB...
