It seems that everytime I turn around, some other profession is getting something added to them. But the profession I have chosen to pursue only continues to get worse. And this latest patch with the Jedi has just made it that much worse.
The chefs got this great revamp. Unfortunately it really impacted our spice sales.
The droid engineers were next - had 2 whole publishes to their name. In those 2 publishes, we saw reductions to our DF tree.
Now we have the Jedi, with 2 more publishes. And nothing has been done to help us even a little.
Image designers got those tents and new content. Again, we got nothing.
But entertainers got new music. Bounty hunters are going to get some skill points given back with a requirement change, and a lead designer has been appointed to deal with their bug fixes immediately.
We've been promised a revamp to our profession - which was incomplete at the time of launch - since June of last year. Nothing has been done. Absolutely nothing. We just continue to exist, and that existance is getting harder to deal with as we go.
We have the combat balance coming up next, and then we have the GCW fixes behind that. Unless SOE suprises me, I would suspect that we'll see nothing in those patches, either. In fact, I fear the combat balance. I fear it because one of our two working specials is a ranged knockdown, and we've heard before that the devs are trying to eliminate things of that nature. Heck, they gimped our panic shot, which hurt our only real viable combination in the game.
We've not had a 19 questions be answered since June 6th, and Greenmarine hasn't posted in a while as he is most likely busy putting out the fires that flared up with this latest patch.
Why is it that everything else in the game takes precedence over us? When do we get to become the thing that takes precedence over all else? I have my suspicions as to when that will be...
Sorry for the downer post, but I just had to say something. This game has so much promise to it, and its being squandered.

Agreed.
Considering one thing the Devs said a long time back was that they didnt want Jedis running around all over the place, they seem to put an awful amount of time into it. They say theyre doing it because hologrinding was spoiling the game. Maybe, but not as much as theyre latest patches.
I cant speak for other servers, but on Farstar I've seen alot of people quit the game recently. Surely the Devs must care about this. We pay your salary remember.
Quite frankly the only thing keeping me here s the hope that the smuggler revamp will be worth the wait. Unfortunatley im beginning to have my doubts.

As much as I agree, quitting the game is no answer either. If the game has so much potential, try a different profession for now.
I was luck enough that someone bought me a subscription for a year and I have used it to make a TK/Commando that is alot of fun to play. With the ssame account on another server, it is a master doctor and mayor.
There are so many to choose from, you can stay busy for a while.
When the revamp happens, just be sure to have the pistol xp avail to use.
And let's be real, The Matrix, Worlds of Warcraft, Guild Wars are all coming out when Jump to Light Speed is published so they will lose players to that. Don't get lost in that as a small statistic.
I for one am keeping my smuggler with a twist

This gives me the best possible defense, meditationand diff types of offense. Granted, the weapon delay kind of nerfs dizzy and then low blow, but it just takes a bit longer 
. Plus when they do the revamp, all i have to do is grind spice and I am there
