Smuggler Archive

I am new the smuggler profession, and I am kind of new to the smuggler forums. I have noticed a definate difference in the tone of this forum opposed to the tone in the other forums. The people here are upset (for a good reason) and it seems (from the tone of the forums and words you all choose) that you all feel alienated from the rest of the community. I'd like to say that you all have the right to feel that way, because you ARE alienated from the community by the people who run this game. While they spend weeks working on tweaking other professions, you all get ignored and tossed aside. They pretend that the smuggler problem doesn't exist, and that you are all very happy with the profession the way it is. Or once in a while they will acknoledge the problem, then do nothing. I would like to commend any of you who have stuck with the smuggler profession, and even though I am not master yet, I will continue to work my way to master, and stick with it. If it's true that every little complaining voice counts than one more smuggler could help just that much.

Afterthought: What the heck is going on in this game? The developers are 100% ignorning this problem, doing 0% of any work on it they promised. Its as if instead of fixing the profession, they just want it to be so bad that everyone drops it so they can just eliminate it from the game altogether without angering anyone. And seriously guys, most people who arent smugglers dont really care. I didn't even know the smuggler profession was so messed up until I became one and started researching it. I mean, I just don't understand. What the heck developers, you are doing nothing, NOTHING about this issue.

Didn't take long for you to catch the "what the hell are they thinking" wave.

I had to laugh at how drasticly the tone changed from paragraph one to paragraph two... you are truly working your way up the smuggler profession.

Well to be fair, master cynic is a pre-requisite now for smuggler.

Frankly, I'm going for the master misanthrope badge. its the elite of the cynic line.

I was always under the impression that cynic was a requirement from the start, not just now.

It makes me wonder if this profession was designed specificaly to drag all the people of this mindset from the other professions, into a one single profession which they could easily ignore. Still, if thats the case, it does create a great atmosphere around here.

Nah - at first you needed to only be 0040 in cynic (trusting fool) but they upped the cynic point cost.

I mean, I can't see why the developers are ignoring smugglers. Smugglers do plenty to complain and get their attention, and the profession certainly deserve a fix since it hasn't been touched at all. It's not like they are doing fixes in alphabetical order and we are last (Teras Kasi, Weaponsmith, Tailor, Swordsman, and Squad leader are below us). Why do they play favorites?
