Their time on here post what they want in our profession. I have been reading some of these for months, which is short compair to those who have been writting them. All I have noticed is we pay to test their games. And they can't even fix what broken before trying to rip off everyone with a new broken game.

Well, as I see it, sony hasa pretty neglectful track record withseveral professions - not just smuggler, although smuggler seems to have it the worst.
Sure there's a lot of political cross-wording going on - for example, when our ideas don't fit in with the developers' design theories and planning, the boards become something that's "not totally representative of the MMOG population" - but one thing to remember is thatpeopleremaining silent is the same thing as giving the developers a thumbs up and saying that we like what they're doing.
The forums and correspondants are the vent by which paying customers can have their opinions heard, and it's an effective conduit. IMO what Sony really needs to be doing is to strongly encourage the notion of people using these conduits. All these "crazy people" who come up with entire revisions of the game might just be on to something, but it is almost as if their voices are effectively drowned out (as an example, check out the popular "Empire Strikes Back mod" posts spewed all over the boards - obviously horrible placement, but there's no other place to really put anything of that caliber anymore).
It's also important to keep in mind that software development is (for all intents and purposes) a pain in the ass, and while it's arguably unlimited in concept, the content of the game is indeed limited by the actual backbone the game is running on.. so we may have all these great and wonderful ideas, but some may just be totally impossible to implement in a given game.

No I think instead of shipping SOE to "Camp Cupcake" for a weekend, let Lucas has his way with em. Just think of the marketing in that, Devs -vs- Rancor!

Well JTL releases in two days and then they're going to jump right on the Smuggler Revamp so we should see a gaggle of devs posting here and giving us their concepts and asking for feedback.
I'm holding my breath in anticipation.

Don't worry, we'll make sure you have a soft spot to land on when you pass out...

I tend to agree...I pretty much stopped reading the threads on "What you would like to see" or "New Smuggler Idea" Not because they are not good...but because they are TOO good. The potential for this game and this profession specifically is enormously exciting!!!! And all these ideas used to get me so excited when I first started reading them. But then I realized....hey...these guys have been waiting for attention for almost a year (this was when I started) and nothing has been done.
It really makes me more sad than anything else...I want some of these ideas to be real and not imagined in our deluded little heads.
I have to put something positive here, because my negativity in this forum is annoying me.
I LOVE being a smuggler. I thinkit is the only profession that can be completely broken and STILL worth playing for the sheer roleplay of it. I will not drop it ever. They could bork it up more and I still would keep it. Just wanted to end on a positive note...
Oh...and someone convince that guy to breathe...his color is off...

Revamp ideas will continue to get posted because even after this much time there is still some hope left in people. There is no need to malign or insult them. Personally, I really enjoy it when someone comes up with a cool idea that has not been posted or presents a new spin on an old favorite. Harping on people that post these ideas does nothing more than lower the level of communication and general feel of the smuggler forum.
