All I can say is slicing sucks now. It is such a stupid concept I cannot believe it was implemented. Oh yes(sarcasm) it makes perfect sense that all the upgraded parts are loot drops off NPC's. If it is such a simple tool kit how come my Master Artisan can't make it.? What a complete waste of time and effort for a Smuggler. SOE goes and makes this a group oriented game but a smuggler has to go hang out at the DWB by himself and kill NPC's to get the tools of his trade; spending hours at various POI's just to pick up basic slicing stuff that should be craftable. It is just hard to fathom why SOE would take crafted components away from Smugglers. This profession used to be useful , now all we get is LAME ass Last Ditch Assault , a suck ass Low Blow., Crappy spices, and the absolute worst slicing concept of all time. Hats off to SOE, they managed to screw things up more.

Hmm... sounds like you want smuggler to be an uber 1 on 1 combat proffesion? It's not!!! It's a freaking crowd control proffesion, and it's awesome at it. And low blow doesn't suck. It's not a KD anymore, true, but it is usefull when fighting highlevel PvE as well as PvP. You just have to face that the solo SWG is gone and grouping is the new trend...

No actually I think the OP wants smugglers to not be a loot whre. The rest is just venting about skills that used to be one thing and have been nerfed into something less effective.
Yaaaarrrr!

Well to put a spin on that.....
How many tailors have to group up to make a shirt?
The whole loot to slice idea is the "Plan B", and no where near the mini-game we had discussed with our developers. Much like Smuggler at launch..this appears to be a hasty "here ya go..slicing!" to shut us up. I don't blame GreenMarine...I am sure he had the mini-game in mind for us but was steered *cough* FORCED *cough* to give us this water downed version. We are (or were..) a hybrid profession. I am not really sure that thing exsists anymore after the CU, especially now that we don't make anything. After seeing a slice component go for 2.1 mil on trade forums...it begs the question, "W.T.F...did Han pay that much for a hydro-spanner???"
No one wants to be uber, and that word alone makes me puke. We are crowd control, and its the general feeling of Smugglers that we aren't exactly a 5 as "mapped" out by development. That, however, is the least of our problems. Thankfully we can hold our own in combat now (but will that remain? You do know that there are Nerf Cries for Lastditch/concussion floating about right?)
The real question you gotta ask yourself this: If I am a Smuggler, what am I smuggling?

The answer is nothing. Nothing is what we have gotten in regards to Smuggling. Thats what all of our focus should be on.

Yep, that was my take on the original message as well - "To Loot or not to Loot" that is the question..........
