Hey fishbrains, why dont you copy your post and e-mail it to various online game mags, and maybe send a copy to IGN, PC Gamer, Maxium etc...
See if they publish it. If all the people did this about the GCW revamp and the Combat Balance issues, I wonder how SOE would react to all the bad press.

I just think its sad that they cant even do what they say they are going to do....
I will just stay around and wait while my 15 a month goes down the drain. TH I hope you guys in the higher ranks get some Honor and post a response because its just plain cowardly and childish that you wont give a real excuse. All you guys have to do is say "my boss told me money was more important then smugglers" we would understand we are after all smugglers. We just want an honest answer thats all and for people to stop telling us we are going to get our profession fixed. Just tell us you will never fix smuggler and we will take up another profession. That is all.

oh, yeah, and Fish, i agree with HA-SuperNaut, you should send this off to IGN for sure, and PC Gamer etc...
The only thing thats going to get their attention is bad press.

I've read this.
What I think of it is that Mr Blackman answer is not complete.
Either it is an unprepared, unfinished answer or SOE have the same issue as alot of companies I've been in : the boss don't have a clue what's going on, and just assume things based on partial infos.
I do support the smugglers in the way they want to actually smuggle, but I have some trouble thinking of a good and fun way to make it happen in an MMORPG.
I understand the post that say that scan everybody all the time is not possible, and that the random scan is a better idea.
I understand that the smugglers aren't happy with the imperial immunity, even if it does make sence.
Thinking of all of thise, I had this idea : how about giving the option to an overt imperial to scan players.
Works like a current scan, with a little difference :
Currently, the rank you need to not have a problem with scan is fixed.
If an imperial player can scan an other imperial player, the rank limit should be based on the rank of the person that do the scan.
Meaning an overt imperial colonel has a pretty good chance to make a sucessfull scan on lower rank players.
Now, what would the player that do the scan gain in doing it?
That is a good question.
With a good time limit between scans, maybe he could get a part of the fine, like the NPC troopers do.
Or gain some faction points.
The only issue I see is imperial players using this to force a rebel to go overt.
There are some stuff to work on, but I think this idea would make all that scan and smuggle thing a little more fun for everybody.
what do you think?
