Been a smuggler almost a year - only prof I ever wanted, first one I mastered, only one I have maintained through my whole time playing.


This latest decision to force us to loot in order to do the job the devs granted us really really rips my knitting.


I should not be surprised that some lamebrained 90 year old dev who has never played the game a day in his life made the decision to ruin what was an already pretty much borked prof anyway.


I know the old system had issues, but the smuggler community was the most active in offering advice / solutions on how we felt the game should be played. As the ones who rack up all the hours in game - surely we know a thing or two. But no - it seems that again we are left in the dark over some monumental change which approx 99% of the smugglers who cared to comment just hate.


I guess that its time to have a long hard look at my subscription end date and see how I feel. Makes me sad

Gratz on playing for a year and I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with the changes (I think many smugglers are), but remarks like the above are silly and accomplish nothing. Announcing you are thinking about canceling yoru account on a forum is like standing on a building for 6 hours threatening to jump and never doing it. If you are going to jump...jump...the few minutes it took to type that post onthis forum would have been better spent clicking the cancel buttonand takes less effort.....but please give me all your crates of AUK's and WUK's before you go.





Your comments did make me chuckle.


Sadly my opinion is that nothing said on these boards has an impact, the great effort that many of the long term smugglers have gone to in order to see an improved system has not given any kind of significant development to the game.


I am happy to accept criticism for banging at the devs - the truth is that the post simply reflects my true sadness that professions are being poorly developed by SOE staff.


And to clarify - I am taking until my account renew date to decide how to proceed - so not 6 hours on a ledge - merely three months looking out the window.


As for my AUK's and WUK's - if it comes to pass - I will slam them all on a vendor for 1 cred a pop and throw a big ad in the board.


This board has long been the only one where the general concencus is such that yeah we know we have problems but be try our best to help each other out, stay positive and work through. I am sorry that this post brings down that focus, but just the given the fact we cannot actually smuggle, it would be nice to actually be able to perform one of the few tasks we have special skills at.


I pray that the smuggler mission content is released sometime soon, but am fearful that we only get one sig patch every 2 years.

It's funny, I just picked up smuggling (only to now be dropping it sence I'm not willing to bother with this much trouble PER CUSTOMER, if I can ever find out how to get the stuff needed...) and one of the things I liked about it was I was alwase too afraid to carry illigal goods before, and now I'm carrying spices everywhere with my impressive 20% contraban detection avoidence..... I'm a rebel now too, just waiting to see when any storm trooper will notice that suspicious looking bothan over there wearing Rebel Uniform Pants and holding a jar of blue powder.


Anywho, can't slice, can't profit off of spice, almost no combat bonuses even, I gotta get a new job. Smuggler is a bigger waist of points then Dancer...

I completely understand you, and I give you my full support. It angers me to see your honest posts treated like crap by people in here.


I know exactly where you are coming from, and exactly what you mean when you say that nothing we say on these forums means anything to development.


You can bet that I know your sadness, and I know that you don't mean to detract from the focus of these boards.


This game has been seriously mismanaged, and I don't blame SOE. I blame Lucas Arts for chasing the buck and making high-level decisions based on marketing instead of taking the time to find out why this game is busted. It is not hard to find out why this game sucks. Anyone who skims the profession forums in particular or reads each professions' Top 5 issues would know, but I don't think the cocaine-sniffing execs at Lucas Arts care that much.


I want to say to you thanks for being a part of this game. It is something that I have deeply cared for over the years, and the smuggling community is my home. Leaving it must be a hard thing to do, especially for reasons that we are all too familiar with.


Be well, Seanboy.

By the way...Are you the same Seanboy from UO? IIRC, there was a Seanboy who was a moderator of some UO stratics forum...
