1) We are Low offence/Low defence, not High/Low as perceived by SOE. Either give us defences or (preferably) better offensive ability.
2) Make ranged weapons more viable in attacking Jedi marks. Curently, a 4000 BH with an elite Melee prof has a better chance at killing jedi than a MBH.
3) Bleeding Shot and Fastblast are useless.
4) LLC is worthless in PvP. Solution: noticably improved accuracy at Master level, and remove max range from specials. (since we have no defences, if we get within 16m of an opponent, we are usually dead)
5) Weapon switch delay is death to BH versatility in PvP. We are given 3 separate weapon trees, but the delay essentially forces us to only use one.
Alternate issue: Reinstate Jedi bounties at 150k. At current levels, I spend twice the amount of money (buffs, food, droids, shuttles) to track the mark as I get when I collect.
Thanks Tanks

I have not been a bounty hunter since launch, and frankly im thankful i didnt stay. Roommate is a BH, and i hear about the problems all days long. Though, i know i dont belong in this thread, i still plan to put in my 2 cents.
1) (agreed amongst everyone) timer should not exist for BHs at all. Afterall, BH is a weapon specialist.
2) (agreed amongst everyone) reinstate the high dollar missions for jedis. Now, Jedi chars are abusing this with alt chars. Simple solution, cap how much a Bh can make off a certain jedi per day.
3) BHs need to go back to they were at launch. Unnerf all damage that was initially instated due to whiners and criers. LLC should still tag people for 2K to 4K, especially with the resist that armor has now adays. Also, LLC should keep its minimal special range attack, but the speed should be reduced to nothing, making melee fighters afraid to try to get close because they will get pwned.
4) At master level, BHs should have max accuracy in all weapons. Granted, everyone is going to rant and rave about this, so to make people actually work at master, revert the investigation exp to 100 points per mission(Sorry BHs, but hell, if this becomes fact, you have to work for it).
5) BHs should have all thier special attacks revamps. make eye shot not only blind, but KD someone. Lefts face it, someone cracks me in the eye, im falling on my arse. Bleed shots should not be nerfed at all for BHs, let them go back to doing seriousDoTs instead of the joke of bleeds everyone has. Lastly, BHs have no defense, which i think is fine, if they are top heavy on the offense. But, the damage mitigation should withstand more damage, due to the fact that BHs are expected to take insane damage.
BHs are suppose to be mean as heck. Unfortunately, they are a joke. Not trying to be disrespectful, but lets face it, Master BHs should be feared the way Jedis are. They are not. I see a Master BH thats the opposing faction, and I laugh, because i know he wont take me down. Last thing I want to add, is that BHs should have special weapons that do insane damage that are stun and retrain. This is made strictly for them, and at the master level. Afterall, they should have the offense, and lets face it, they do not.
My 2 cents,

Someone please kick this guy from the forums or at least delete his posts, damn spammer. I just started playing bh. And up to now I really like it, you just need the right equipment in my eyes. Okay weapon switch timer sucks though hehe.

I didnt read through all pages of this - but I see whining about Rifles and Lightning Cannon - they should just make LC a pimp rifle usable only by BH's and use rifle accuracy - thus giving them a reason to have master marksman in all ways as well as compensating for the Piece of Sh1% that is LC.
Seems like a simple fix that would NOT take a lot of programming.

Somethings that would be worth seeing done with bounty hunter would be
1. Duel Pistols- especially after seeing episode 2 Jango got two, comeone guys the game lacks fun when it comes to having a Bounty Hunter, Im not saying duel everything, but pistols are very managable.
2. Change up the offense vs defense rating. It sucks to have a bounty hunter get beat by like half the gamers, especially when you are a decent bounty hunter. Bounty Hunting is a high offenseive profession and right now we are low, really low. And as far as defence it is nonexistent. I have to get in to pistoleer and carbineer to get a little defense.
3. Bounty Hunters should be able to use traps on npcs and PVP. In any other game and movie the bounty hunters had ways of trapping people.
4. Make specials actually work, what is the point of having specials if they never work, or when they do work they are so low that it takes forever to kill someone.
5. BH missions, enough said.
6. Special armor, not talking about the mandelorian, I am talking about something that is a little easier to get your hands on, something with lightsaber defense, along with everything else.
7. Give us some form of a long range weapon, something that can do some damage, the llc is okay against NPC but we need something else, we did rifle training for a reason.
8. Give us more bounties that involve actual players. Npcs are boring after a while. I would like to go hunt down an actual player that isnt a jedi, but a higher up in the opposing faction.
Bounty Hunter has the possibility of being a great profession. There is so much that is wrong with the proffesion and even despite all of it i enjoy being a bounty hunter, but come on designers. Stop worring about the jedi's and worry about us
and worry about us 
:yes yes some kind of defense

I agree, player bounties definately need to be considered again.
Weapon switch timer needs to go away for BH
We should be able to dual-weild pistols
Give scatter pistol some kind of fix so it can get past saber block
Jedi missons need more payout! 15k is NOT worth it. Buffs alone cost that, let alone travel and droid costs.
we need offense boost! we are too low

I'm not and have never been a master bounty hunter, but at one time or another I have mastered all of the lines except for pistols.
1. jedi mission payouts need to come back
2. TEF issues
3. Add a fire DOT to fire KD
4. The LLC needs better speed and accuracy
5. some defenses would be nice
