Man I have been waiting for a lllllllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg time for this revamp. I know that the majority feel the same, but man this is facking crazy. For the first time in almost a year of playing I am so fed up with this bs. I have thought strongly about changing professions. I know I have just posted a post that has probably been echoed millions of times but fack it I want my thoughts to be seen as well. This is crazy, we are all being dicked around. I have lost faith in the smuggler revamp and for this I must say SMC to all the devs.

Whoa now, whoa now.... Lol.... Calm down.I know its bad... And I honestly have no clue on when the revamp will be. I was honestly hoping that it would come before JTL, but its not from what it sounds like. I would say next patch after that hopefully. Just have some faith that it will come out. I remember when a few of the professions I had(Bio-Engineer for example) was finally fixed(?? Still some problems but its 100% better than it was before). So they are slowly but surely fixing things... I just wish they would forget about the Jedi for a while and fix the professions that started the game... I honestly liked it before the game had Jedi ALOT more than now... Heres what I have to say...
FACK THE JEDI!!!
Lol... Sorry, the needs of the few should not outweigh the needs of the many, and right now there are more started professions that need fixed versus the Jedi right now. I know Jedi is the ultimate goal... But honestly, I have no desire to be a Jedi... So I say screw 'em till they fix the other professions.

I too loved being a smuggler and was always waiting and hoping for the added content/missions/skills/whatever to come along. But I finally ran out of patience and found that smuggler as it is just no longer fit my play style. It was a really tough thing to do to click on that box and then type "yes." Giving up Master smuggler was the toughest thing I've done yet in SWG.
Spices are a joke, and since I'm not big into factions/pvp I never got any use out of the Underworld tree. While I liked slicing, the first round of exploit bannings months ago spooked me intoa permanent slicing retirement. I stopped slicing anything for anyone, ever. Instead, I was happy to run a vendor selling crates of Molecular Clamps, WUKs, AUKs, and Laser Knives to other smugglers still brave enough to enjoy slicing. But after a long layoff, I came back to see that (on my server anyway) the old market for clamps wasn't nearly what it used to be (or at least not worth enough for me to tolerate surveying and harv runs - which I hated), and I closed up shop. Just in time too, it seems -- the new credit dupe and associated bans most assuredly would have seen me close my doors as well.
In the end, when I thought about what I was in SWG as a Master Smuggler, I felt like I was only a gimped pistoleer. Without using any of the other benefits of the smuggler profession (mostly by my own choice) and without any other PvE content that was unique and enjoyable enough to make me want to continue on, I realized that there were better things I could be spending my skillpoints on. When they lowered the requirements on Bounty Hunter to just Exploration IV, I knew it was time to make a change.
Maybe, someday, if the revamp ever happens...and if it proves to make smuggler a fun, wrothwhile profession with orginal missions/content and fixes, I'll gladly return. Smuggler will always continue to be my favorite profession.
