I still remember the tough training I had to pass in bomb squad before I was allowed to play Minesweeper on Windows 3.1.

The answer is really just that it takes me less time to do things than you think.

Formula for success:
  • ADD
  • OCD
  • Legally-prescribed stimulants
  • Caffeine on top of that because hey why not
  • Chocolate in my caffeine because see above
  • Grapefruit for breakfast because it effectively increases my stimulant dosage (shhh, don't tell my Dr., mwahaha)
  • sub-1 microsecond attention span
  • Boredom during class
  • Droid-like multitasking skills
  • Tested touch typing speed of 120 WPM (I break keyboards), I can type a sentence faster than I can speak it in Mumble
  • Pipe dreams of being a writer / storyteller
  • General Discussion's reliable inspirational examples mostly doing my job for me
  • Probably mentally ill in colorful yet-to-be-diagnosed ways, fueling my creativity and fascination with ensuring every single one of my Mods is the correct stat balance even if it's a difference of like +/- 4 Power because otherwise it bugs me

I sometimes run Ops while writing term papers because I can complete like 3 pages while Guildy #12 is off taking their ritualistic 12-minute pee break every boss and it prevents me going insane from boredom while writing term papers or waiting for guildies to pee.
Wow...way to make me feel like a loser. I text or surf the web while waiting on people...

Wait... I have to get Caught first? but.... but.... isn't the point of playing and understanding Smuggler to know how not to get caught?

Thank you for your feedback. I just want to let you know we have definitely heard your feedback about this topic, and are actively discussing possible solutions.

We certainly don't want Smugglers to feel obligated to develop a felony record just to play the class, however, we have to be careful and also not discourage convicted felons from feeling their hard work in state penitentiaries was wasted.

It's also very important to maintain our goal of ensuring that no one unqualified to smuggle is Smuggling on their Smuggler, because that would be unfair to other classes that must play properly both in and out of game.

I will definitely let you all know as soon as I heard anything further about this topic. Until then, I will leave this thread open so you can continue discussing it. Thanks!

This would be a great time to add sub classes, I am sure some of us can meet a few requirements in several different class lists here

I would just be happy if an IQ test was required before going online myself...


Great post by the way
