Smugglers everywhere, I think the time has come where we can no longer sit back and be civil with the developers anymore. We offer them wonderful ideas about what can be done with Feign Death, now it'sa completely worthless skill, there are only 2 professions which were ever truely heard in this game, and that is Jedi and Bounty Hunter. We know how they all ended up being heard by the devs, therefore, the time has come where the gloves must come off.
Saturday, February 26th at 12:00 noon, I'd like to have a protest outside of Theed Starport on the Corbantis Server. There is no other way to go about the constant neglect to our profession by the developers.

All that will happen is you'll get banned or teleported.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but it's SOE policy.
Make yourselves heard another way.

He's right buddy, after the alrge bounty hunter protest, back last june, over jedi mission payouts, SOE changed there policy on mass gathering protests causing lag. They will perma-ban all instigators and those that refuse to move on, I'll look back and try and find the post, but for now I suggest you edit this post, before those from above ban you, corbantis has already lost a respected member of the community this week, we don't need to lose another.

sit ins are bad. you're not punishing the devs, you're punishing all the innocent players who suddenly have to deal with a ton of lag int hat area.
whether we like it or not, we have to be at least constructive in our attempts to be heard even if we abandon civility.

Just a thought.... why don't we all go into TC-Gorath and /bug report that FD isn't working? If someone is able to find the mystery thread where the devs stated that FD was working as designed, then a change would mean it was broken.
This (a) gets the message to the devs who are responsible for the change, (b) doesn't lag out people by using a mass protest, and (c) slows down their testing cycle. I certainly have no issue with them not making their deadlines on this release.
Thoughts?

We Smugglers have asked for player bounties! Many times actually!
We are getting the shaft though.
They hit us with the STICK, while we were eating last weeks CARROT.

Aye, it has been asked from both sides.
I'm not going to deny that BH's "cried" about FD. But, nerfing it like this isn't what we wanted. We wanted Jedi to not be able to use it.

Civil disobedience without lagging out all the dev suck-ups on Corbantis? Well, aside from this idea not lagging out all the dev Suck-Ups on Corbantis, I like this Idea much better!!! One of these nights here at work, I'll see if I can't dig it up and try to bump it to the front page.

yes, and instead of showing the players how mad we are, we would just further alienate them from our cause.

Ya they will just teleport you away from the area and some people even got temporary bans last time there was a huge protest in theed. It only causes problems for other players and does little constructively to help with the cause.
I would say bombarding and sending every developer you can find messages would do better. clutter up the development and concept threads on the forums and send emails and stuff. If you think developers are sitting up on top of the theed spaceport waiting for a protest you are only fooling yourself.
