This isn't a "I'm leaving 'cause this sucks" post, it is a vent, nothing more.
18 months of playing, 2 Master Smugglers on different servers and I am finally wondering why.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy SWG and I play Smuggler because it suits my play style, but after this FD fiasco, which they did not even bother to inform us about, (which is what really gets up my nostrils) I am thinkingthe time is nearly nigh..
I have watched as this community becomes jaded, cynical and even abusive to each other, then the Devs throw us a minor, petty positive change and we come good for a few months, then a nerf and we are off agin. Check the history of changes which have affected us and you will see.
I have watched our corro's get so frustrated that that they are unable to string 3 lines together. Now these guys, Caylin, Wes, etc, have always been tolerant and when they suddenly start spitting, you know we are being hit hard.
On that, what is the point of having corro's if the devs do not, will not discuss planning changes with them or at least notify them?
All I can hope is that this coming revamp (the one squeezed in with all the other non-combat profs) has some sweet changes to make this all worth while for all of us.
Might have to go and see what a working prof is like....hmmm, I wonder whatthe Ranger'sare up to?

Haha. I have been trying to convince the Master Ranger SO that the Smugglers are actually worse off. So far, we've got ourselves a nice stalemate here.
God, I'm a frickin' Smuggler/Ranger combo. I like PAIN.
At any rate, I'm not giving up on Smuggler, but I'm just baffled by the logic of SoE's decisions on this matter. I agree wholeheartedly that something needed to be done, but this was NOT the solution. The utter lack of communication and thinking is discouraging, and the way that they do communicate is actually codescending. "=)" on very unpopular information, and trying to convince us that the FD issue is a bug fix I find as actually insulting.
I know they've gotta be damn careful about what they say to the community, but personally, if I had anything to do with SWG development and QA, I'd be bitching up a blue streak about the laziness and nonsense of this decision. It didn't address the real issue. Why don't we cut off the leg to solve the broken toe? Seriously.

Yep, without a dout Smuggler, Ranger, and Squad Leader are the most beaten up professions in the game!

Seriously, if I had the points, I'd take SL up too, just to complete the Trio of Pain.

Don't forget Pistoleer with all the broken specials and inability to deal damage. As a Pistoleer/Smuggler I take it hard too.
