I can't stand being in a profession which is75% broken any longer.
I've held out for more than a year.
I loved being a smuggler, butUnderworld and spices are a total waste of my time and yours.
Slicing doesn't really make me real money anymore and is now more trouble than it's worth.
Dirty fighting is cool, even if it doesn't give any speed/accuracy mods and requires you to be a master pistoleer.
I honestly can't see the Combat Balance beinglive til Febuary next year, and I'd be very suprised if we get our revamp live before mid April.
I think the smuggler community has been great, and our corrs have done their level best under very difficult circumstances.
In closing I would also like to curse SOE for their total lack of interest in our profession, and their consistent subterfuge, misdirection, incompetence and general bad attitude to the smuggling community.
Thank you, and goodnight!

I hope the game reaches a stage at which you feel you can return some time soon. Until then, good luck, fly fast and shoot straight

Thanks, Wes.
I've actually gone the whole hog and cancelled my account - if i can't play a smuggler then I'm not playing at all.
I can't see myself coming back - my experiences with SOE have pretty much soured me to their MMOGs.
Good luck to all the smugglerinos on the board, hope the CB and Revamp are kind to you.

Is this game that bad?? I mean there is more to do than not smuggle. Do some quests, Get some badges, Go kill imps or rebels. After we get smuggler skills (9 years after the earth crashes into the sun)you'll just get sick of that too. Oh well I just can'tbelive people take it so seriously. If a game is fun you play it, if it sucks like earth above & beyond, you stop playing. No hard feelings. But the design team doesn't owe you a good game. They don't. You buy what you want to buy. Nobody forced you so if you don't like it just don't play it. If enough people feel like you do the game will go out of buisness, like earth above & beyond.

Let me be honest Cyrus - YES it really is that bad, that's why I'm quitting.
I paid for a game 18 months ago which I feel still hasn't been delivered.
Fundamentally, I could cope with that, if I trusted the development team were working towards a better game.
I don't. They don't listen, they resist feedback, they can't handle constructive criticism, they're closed minded and uncommunicative.
So I'm off. No hard feelings to anyone who's staying or who really likes the game, everyone has a right to their own opinion.

Take it easy BigLands, hopefully things will get better. Unfortunately, it wont be any time soon.
I guess its the irish-german blood in me, but I refuse to quit.
Im going to fight tooth and nail to get Smugglers thier due till they kick me out.
We have been screwed from day one, with almost all of our development resources shifted to the Crafting professions dureing the origional Beta. I know this because I was there, and Holocron admitted that its true.
What ended up is what you see, not a Smuggler profession, but a Drug manufacturer and dealer profession that can buff armor and weapons (for which there is a penalty to cary, thus are not in demand or used).
I can see why you are leaving, and understand completely.
Be safe dude, which ever game you choose to play.

Good luck Smugglers, I'm out of here too. I think what's on my mind has already been said about 5 biiiilion times, so I won't bother beating the dead horse.

I cancelled both of my accounts today. I have been with this game since beta and tried to hang on in great hopes that it would become fun, increase content and fix professions but it just hasn't happened. I'm sorry but 16 months and there are still broken professions is just unacceptable. I really REALLY wanted to love this game but I just don't. What was the final push to my decision was beta testing another popular MMO that will be released within the next month. It made me realize how much SWG is lacking especially in content and stability.
Best of luck to all.

I know exactly how you feel. Hopefully things will get better but I know that I am going to stick it out for a while. I have been playing on my alt some and I am having a blast.
