Now, I remember back when I started this, I thought/hoped some changes would come due. But the fact is our elite profession is basically a hybrid crafter/combat. The underworld tree, i found by sad experience is basically useless... and even if it weren't, itsuses are found only in the GCW.
After taking a trip over to the bounty hunter forums, I found another elite profession which is in dire straights. But they do at least have SOME special content, which we admittedly lack.
Sadly, the only thing I really will miss, is the dirty fighting tree, which admittedly I have become so dependant on that I cant possibly imagine working without it.
So consider this me using my REAL use of the skill of "Selling out" since the sellout in game is broken, and the SOE sellout on our class has been consistent.
Fast' Freddie is hanging up his molecular clamps, and pursuing a bh career, though it probably sucks in different ways it cant possibly suck more than having 3 out of 4 lines useless to me, and a master box that has no mastery. Maybe Ill be back, and maybe I wont. I will however, always demand the game upgrade the smuggler experience beyond the contentless profession it currently is... but then, nearly ALL non-jedi professions share this fate.

Thats the whole thing tho. Were sorta gimp combat wise, and so are BH's, which boils down to a good even fight. And BHs and Smugs should have sorta there own war based on criminal activities. A third war outside GCW. But at the same time, its not just BH's vs Smugs, it can be teams of both pitted against each other, say I ripping off Jabba to supply my BH buddies with the primo bombbizzy, and the same time I'm generating visibility, but of course my righteous BH buddies arent going to turn me in cause I'm supplying them, they are going to protect their dealer from rivalBH/Smug crews. Its like cheesey gangwarfare It could be sort of a whole thug war if done right. Just seems like to me the criminal underground could get reallydeep contentwise, all the sudden the imps decide to "clean up the streets", we would have to make truces maybe to deal with the dam law for a few days. I dont forsee Smugs vs's BH. I see teams of both pittedagainst each other.
Think about it, BH's are good. But Commandos naturally should be better. Christ their Commando's thats not a term taken lightly and I'm not talking about the coin-op Commando which I loved till my elbow hurt. Commandos should WAY out leet both BH's and Smugs, were criminals street frighters compared to military trained personel, not just a grunt but a commando. It makes sense to me they should be a threat and hard for us to go toe to toe with. And thats coming from a non commando.
Rumor is, I hate to bring up this taboo but if smugglers get revamped were going to get more dirty fighting, and its not made to kill someone, its made to knock them on there ass and run like hell, but melee style.IMO were not ultra-killers were meant to becitizinwith a distaste for militarylocal authorities.
So if that term hunt happens for smugs vs. BH's, I thinkit COULD be the special content were missing. It says on that dam thing I have to read every bootup, a whole criminal activity is underway while order is being restored I hope they fall thru with that claim. Not only will BH's just kill us we can work together I think, cause hey, most the BH's I know like to party too wait til I get em hooked on glitterstim.
