Honestly, at this point in the crossroads of Smuggler, I don't know how much I have left to give. This announcement makes me angry, sad, and hurt. More than anything I feel like the little kid that knew the stove was hot but played with fire anyway.

Yes, we're not fiscally weighted enough to swing a revamp our way, but what about all the blood, sweat, and tears we've put into this profession? Some of us have stuck out living a broken existence for almost 2 years, just because we love an impossible dream.

I'm going to try to get to the bottom of this, mark my words. If anything, this community needs to be formally apologized to. I'm sick of LucasArts thinking of every way to make a quick buck (Jedi, Ep. III) instead of actually reading what the playerbase wants. Well, I'm tired of being stepped on. I fully intend to swing my weight around now. I will be using the power of the press as much as humanly possible.

I also spoke to Joras last night, and I'm going to be making a few phone calls today. I want some answers, and I want some NOW.

If I don't return in 3 days, keep to the code.

Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.

Hell Yeah!

We got your back... Heck, I've got free time right now, so let me know if you need any help. Not sure what I can do, but like I said, I've got the time, just give me the task.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Go get 'em Mist, we appreciate the effort.

I have to agree with you though that Smugglers just don't carry the financial clout to get off from being perpetually on the bottome of the priority list...IF we're on the list officially at all.

I get the impression we're rather isolated here on the Smuggler forum and the devs pretty much don't stop by for obvious reasons. Any publicity we can get sure can't put us in worse postion than we've been in.

I have had similar thoughts seeing if through other channels I could affect a change. I am a programmer and have a few contacts in technology press and in the gaming world though none in SOE itself. I wish you luck and may follow a similar path soon. /deepbow

I agree MISTagent01. I am pissed that something like a Wookiee expansion gets realized, yet smugglers and TONS of other professions still get the shaft.

I do hope you find what you are looking for. There are few, if any, with balls like you have, and I'm sure you know exactly what to do with them.

I have always been a huge supporter of the developers and their stated plans, but what I read about the new expansion makes me angry.

How can smuggler keep getting put off for crap like this??? Some people used to kid about a 2006 smuggler revamp; I willlet you fill in the blank.

If there has ever been something to really touch me in a truly offensive manner about this game, THIS event would be it. SOE, fix our professions.

Well, hopefully, you get the real jist of what I said. It is rediculous that in 2005, smugglers are STILL on the backburner.... er... they aren't even on the backburner. Smugglers are still in the celophane wrapper, tucked into the "Fresh Vegetables" drawer of the fridge... nowhere near to being prepared for the meal on the table.

Of course I got where you were coming from buthow can a smart arse like me not comment on that one. It's like the time Ren told Stimpy not to touch thebig shinny button....I just can't help it.
