Caylin and Kav, just refer to previous discussions I've had with both of you on the subject. 
Despite my own disgruntled nature, I'm still willing to work as an Assistant Correspondent (AC), for whoever ends up with the job. Not sure exactly WHAT we'd be doing for the time being, but if I can help, I'll be happy to.
because I agree with him in a lot of things
If he wants to actually be a correspondent.
/underhanded bribes and blackmailscertain people to getCAYLIN as our new correspondant!
GER 'ER DONE, CAYLIN! YOU THE MAN!
(no disrespect to Kav /sends a respectfull /nod his way)
I am putting this here because Im prety sure TH will be reading this thread.
I have left Master Smuggler. The reasoning behind this is the devs continue to break an already messed up profession, imo. They have given imperials a better chance of doing smuggler stuff without them spending 1 point on being a smuggler. They have made food so powerful that people no longer look at spice as the "must have" item before a hunt. Ruining Panic Shot was the last straw.
Maybe, someday, I will get back to this most enjoyable profession. But not until they make it worth playing.
Fair Journey.
Hope smugglers get some love soon 
I vote Caylin
I enjoy his posts now
According to our late correspondent there was not much communication occuring. Hopefully TH will read this and have a brief glimpse at some of the things they have recently changed for the worse:
1. Feign Death is no longer a viable skill:Ineffective in PVE and an invitation for griefing in PVP
2. Spices are worthless: As of Pub 7 spices now leave your HAM wherever it was after the downer. So if you gained +1000 health on spice and then went down to 1hp at the downer, you now have to regenerate all of the health back. Combine this with the fact that Chef foodsgive better bonuses, a longer duration, and have zero negative effects and you see why spice is no longer being used.
3. Panic Shot Change: Now this skill function identically to the Novice Brawler skill of Warcry. Smugglers are required to be novice brawlers due to skill requirements and thus have a duplication of skills here. Except that Panic shot can be dodged, blocked, and countered.
The only viable skills we have left are slicing ( a completely random skill) and Underworld where we can pay 10,000 credits for the privilege of obtaining 100 faction points. Nevermind that it takes about three minutes to make 100 faction doing a mission.
We are sorely in need of a revamp. Please help us Thunderheart.
