To the Lawyers of the Smuggler Community:

Is there any legal response possible (class action) or have they covered their tail well? The main reasons that I am thinking is the track record of mis-communication ... are they accountable for these actions?

well geevo, i only know norwegian law, and acording to it this falls under what is know as "feil reklame" or mis advertising. For istance if i sold you a Cell phone and told you it was water proof and it got water damaged (lol), i would have to give you your money back. Or if i sold you a car which had its odometer(?) changed to show 12000 miles instead of 25000 miles.

I for one am encouraged by this announcement. I was really hoping that the Devs would incorporate space into the smuggling profession. It kinda botheredme when I heard the revamp was scheduled before JTL. Now I know that the Devs vision for smuggler is consistant with the Movies......heavily space craft oriented. With some smuggling on the ground for good measure.


Id rather have 1 really good publish incorporating all the different aspects of the game including the expansion, then to have a mediocre, crummy quick fix that puts our concerns on the back burner for another year.

Thing is, they keep putting our concerns on the back burner, and we don't even get the crummy quick fix. If you think we get ANYTHING in JTL, you are deluding yourself. Not intended as a flame, but there is just NOTHING to support the belief that bringing home the JTL box will give you something as a smuggler.

LOL you cannot sue them because the game does not meet your expectations. You signed the EULA and they covered the liability issues with stuff like this:

I was just curious since the commitments keep coming and keep getting broken ...


(Can't blame a guy for asking a question...right?)
