So after all the promises all the BS when the smoke clears what are we going to do about it?


1. come up with a new re-vamp doc?

2. lay down and take it in the pooper?

3. take a stand and fight?


1. I would hope no one will want to do another doc as there are over 500 already.

2. My pooper is exit only.

3. fight...hmmm I like this one but what do we do? Refusing to slice and spice will not work cause someone will still do it. Massing outside a star port at a specific time is hard to do and we might not have enough suport. Leave the game, well if you enjoy other aspect of SWG then you know that is no option.


We deserve somthing, anything for all the BS over the last 9months. What can we do? Caylin any idea? Community Elders, any Idea's. We really need to do somthing anything to get the dev's attention make them understand that they cant BS people over and over again.


What are we going to do gang.........

We need to do somthing..........

Showing up at Fan Fest and causing a ruckus would do it. But dont see that happening. Or what would be wild is everyone create a toon on every server and lag them into submission ,one server at a time.

I'm not going to do anything. I'm not going to give them another idea, another "constructive" thought, I'm not going to do JACK for them. Will that "show'em?" No. But it'll make me feel better. I'm too pissed right now to care HOW that affects them, if at all. I'm not going to do one damn thing.


I might stop slicing and spicing altogether, and just keep the title. I might retire to full time "non-tree" activities like running my gaming association (organize the betting pool) and fencing rarities for suckers who don't know what they've got (buy a lightsaber crystal for 250k. Sell it for 400k or more). But i'll probably keep slicing because I like the money and it keeps me in the crowd where I can watch what's going on.


But I don't want any more of their content. They can keep their dungeons. They can keep their caves. They can keep their mandalorian armor. They can keep all their bells and whistles bull**edit**. I'll play Star Wars without the developers and it'll be more like Star Wars. They can smoke a turd in hell.

I took the action that, in the long-run, will hurt them most. I cancelled both my accounts. Now, $15 of the $30 I was paying SOE is going to another game / company. Though, my account is still open until August.

I'm seriously considering cancelling my account until they fix the revamp.


The game has gotten so it's only fun if you're uber. I don't have the time or desire to become this month's uber template.


So much for being a smuggler.

We have the ability to involved the whole player base.


We need this information out there where people are aware. My guild leader wants 6 suits sliced. Whats he gonna do when I say boycott! And the next says boycott!, and the next..... The player base wont have armor nor weapons, wont be able to hit the their bases, etc.


Think about the possibilities.....

What you fail to realize is that, while it may seem we have that power, it would all balance out over time. Sure, for a while sliced equipment would still be around, but with decay it would eventually fade from existence and everyone would be on equal footing again. Prices on powerups would rise, since that would be the main replacement for slicing services. Then, of course you would still have the few hold-outs who would still be slicing (probably at inflated rates), or even those who are "boycotting", while at the same time still slicing for guildmates or doing underground slicing work on the side.


If you really take a step back and look at it from a different perspective, this game can really do without Smugglers altogether. Artisans provide powerups, which are basically temporary slices which are guaranteed to be the "slice" that you want. Docs and Chefs provide better buffs than spices, and with no downer even. All that leaves us is our pistol skills, which basically match Pistoleer...except for feign death and a few damage mods. And any faction point farmer can use /delegatefaction and sell off excess faction points.
