Ah my very first major message..
First of all i dont really like posting on the boards because it feels like they are only here for us to speak our minds, not to actually make a difference.
Just take merchants for example .. Who wants vendors to be nerfed down, this will just result in most of them eing empty and only the most expensive ones will have a CHANCE of not being empty.
Now for smugglers it seems that the devs are trying to make smugglers... rare.
Not only do smugglers not have their very own specific weapons (like all other professions requireing pistols do), but the spice buisness is down, the only spices i have seen on the market lately are neutron pixie and muon gold.
Smugglers can buy fp BUT once they have 500 they cannot buy more.. imagine the frustration of the customer if the unbuffed declared smuggler gets killed 3 times or feigns death (if he does it in time) while trying to sell fp, and now (from publish 10) smugglerswill need totake out their tools from crates to be able to use them, which means thatif they want to slice something they need a basically empty inventory (or if they dont have it the customer will again have to wait forever)...
To top it there is now the issue of feign death that might get nerfed because some people abuse it....
I put this all together and wonder why the devs are making suchefforts to make smugglers... rare.

Well my opinion, the more rare the smuggler is, the better business I get 
Its true that not everybody in the galaxy is a smuggler. Not everybody is eager to break the law.

hm its ok breaking the law but theres not much to encourage the profession really.. try being a smuggler and using pistols as yu are supposed to do without having any of pistoleer, commando or bh pistol skills... you're pretty much screwed

Well, remember two years ago when we were all waiting for some breaking news about the game, teh thing devs where the most proud of was their "organic jedi population regulation". They just missed the target and regulated the smuggler population instead.
Today there are far more jedi than smugglers, someone somewhat inverted the dev cycle between jedi and smuggler, maybe a replacing secretary that was chatting over the phone while typing a report for the team? maybe a jedi wanabee who managed to ninja-assault SOE?
I just can't imagine how fun the game would be if we had the initial plan applied... can you imagine? 3 patches designed just for us? what a fun that would have been... and in the meantime jedis just told to wait another year... aaah, i dream of this every night
