Is it only me, or is every second Player a Master Smuggler on those Betaservers. Everywhere I got, I run into Fixer, Fence, Rouge and Master Smuggler. The good part in this is, those guys will never ever argue again about random slice if they manage to find out about slicing. The bad part in that is I feel like loosing my Image as a Underdog. *grin* I found my self looking for a Frog to drop Smuggler, because it feels like everybody is a Smuggler, but on second thought I realised I am one of the few, who really know that Profession from suffering to get to it without a frog at hand. *cackles insanely to herself*

Don't worry, the minute they realize how much the devs care about us we will be among us again.

I noticed that as well - but I don't expect to see any great increase in the number of smugglers until after the revamp

Yea don't worry about it. They do it because they don't have to grind to get it. I agree after the revamp there will be in increase of people wanting to try it but after a while the novalty will wear off and except maybe a few of the new smugglers it's going to be us only again.
I am happy to say I have been a smuggler from the beginning of the game and plan on staying.

Most ppl prolly just took the smugglers, because they are going privateer.

I've really enjoyed my beta time spent away from my infernal smuggler tag. Being able to *do* interesting things with my skillboxes is great fun! 
I think that you're seeing slicers/Masters on beta because it's easier to just master and learn a trade prof than it is to find someone else to work for you. I doubt that the droid-engineer population on beta translates to live either.

did someone say smuggler was a hard grind?
its a 8 hour prof from start to finish.
they all mastered smug cuz they think the new smuggling ( han solo) material is in.
and they probably thought they could slice space weapons
and there is no need for any ground prof cuz it just doesnt matter

i know on the pvp test centers they did, a LOT of people went BH pistols, Smuggler pistols, M pistoleer, so they could last ditch at a high rate of speed. could be what they're doing, or maybe there's a lot more wannabe scoundrels out there 
ugh, I can't get to my beta disc til after work....

alot of people pickup smuggler right off the bat to gain faction easily and slice their own gear.

That has been the general response I have received from Masters I've talked to in Beta. Between that and people thinking it's "cool" to be a smuggler/privateer.
Well it is coo, but totally lame in terms of content.

in the long run this will end up in 2 things, both being kinda good in their own way, but some downsides...
1 lots of people become smugglers...LOTS, hence SOE will see how borked it is and revamp smuggler very well very fast and not worry about the jedi trials I-XIXIXIIIXIXIXVIXIC, obviously the good is revamp, bad is lots of smugglers
2 people will want smugglers to do something for them (ship this here, that there, ect), then it'll be just like a revamp 
(is hoping for #2)
