From time to time we all get it. Those people who have no idea what slicing is or those people who want faction...and dont understand your not a colonel and its not even beneficial to attempt. Maybe you've met those morons who want faction and you're not even of the same side! WELL, here are some other things we find annoying and downright hate with passion
1) /shout Master smuggler slicing weapons and armor! pst for a price guide.
/tell ME send me your price guide
/tell HIM ok here u go *sends guide*
/tell ME whoa...these are too high...i'll get my buddy to do it for free
THAT is more annoying than anything i can think of. Why waste my time. If you want a slice you better have full intentions on paying for it after the smuggler gets things prepped.
2) /tell ME hmmm...ok so if i pay you 10k you'll slice everything perfectly? ok i want 4 perfect slices on my NS lances
Ummm...no...it's random and alot of smugglers will charge based on a %.
3) /tell ME I dont think 6k for a slice is very fair
/tell HIM But you'll pay 10k for a temporary buff and not 6k for a permanent improvement...
Some people are just morons. If you have the 300k or so to purchase a full comp armor suit i'm sure you have the credits to slice at our price. Dont haggle. 9 times outta 10 you will anger the smuggler and be turned away.
Feel free to add on more of what is annoying to you. As far as I'm concerned, the smuggler deals with the most ignorant people in the galaxy. We can't macro a slice and we can't make 50% of our equipment. So yes we must purchase from others. You're paying for the smugglers time and energy to slice your weapon....unlike those scum buff bots who make millions a day while they're at work/school/sleeping or being productive elsewhere.

First time posting on these boards, I couldnt help not to post for this one :
/ME master smuggler sliceing weapons and armor 5k per slice!
/THEM Are you sliceing? and how much?
I mean for real, is my ad there just to look pretty and not to read?

How about:
Devs: "We feel your pain and are going to give you love soon."
A month later-
Devs: "We feel your pain and are going to give you love very soon."
More time passes -
Devs: "Sorry about the delay, but we really are getting close to helping you out."
More time -
Devs: "We feel your pain, but we can't do anything now until sometime after JtL. Don't call us, we'll call you."
A month later -
Devs: "Now EVERYTHING is on hold until after JtL, which means we'll be getting to you Smugglers even later than we had originally planned. Sorry again..."
That should qualify as the #1 Smuggler annoyance of all time...

Annoyances:
1) Any smuggler than spams that they are slicing.
Reason: You are a criminal and sound like a state fair barker which makes you look like a fool.
2) Any person who has me slice something and then says they dont have the creds to pay for it or wants to pay half now half later.
Reason: You cant go into your local store and take something without pay every cent of its cost. This wastes my time and yours.
3) Any smuggler that asks me for training.
Reason: You are competition to me, why would I train a completetor.
4) Any smuggler that asks to buy my tools, and thencomplains about my overly high prices.
Reason: You are my competition, why should I make life easy for you.
5) Any player that complains because I charge to slice out a locked container.
Reason: Nothing in life is free and my tools cost creds,.

The smuggler who runs out of the starport ,nods at me, than begins to shout "Slicing Weapons and Armor for 2k, dirt cheap!"
I can't stand this, for one ever since I turned Master I NEVER spam the chat channels. Why? cause the real customers will just seek you out anyways (And remember to make yourself searchable!)
But, most of the time smuggler's who spam like that have no patience and run after they get no takers. I on the other sit back in the alleyways with a sly grin as I receive tel after tell from people who REALLY need something sliced

that annoys me as well...slicing for such a low price just degrades our worth as master smugglers. Its pathetic when we could all be making much more.
