Thread: Correspondent
what makes a "pure" bounty hunter? i guess that depends on you. dabblers are going to come and go, that much is apparent. ive been saying for weeks how the devs should limit the number of professions a character can master or drop in order to keep the power gamers at bay. and thats what the real problem is isnt it? the powergamers. the sad truth is that many people will pay 15 bucks a month in order to join a guild that has access to the best armor, weapons, and all around knowledge of what class to master to own in pvp. with all the room to advance in any profession and no restrictions, anybody can figure out how to wipe out the entire geonosian cave in under a half hour. guilds and "uber" characters have ran amok so much inside the tusken fort, im surprised our desert friends havent called it quits and split tatooine yet. whats the load screen say? "people say the day everyone will truly be free is when the sandpeople are gone". trust me, the sandpeople are friggin gone lmao. an ancient krayt is supposed to be a rarity? gimme a break, "elite" guilds have wasted so many of them they lost count, and the prices guildies charge for a bh/ris armor or anything else considered cool or "leet" can only be bought by people who are affiliated with large guilds and have the disposable cash. a bounty hunter is supposed to track marks and destroy the mark in order to recieve creds. its a dirty job, but hey we have to do it right? so let's say they decide to balance us outright.....job done, we're off and running...guess what happens next? thats right......bounty hunters everywhere. you think jedi's are going to be everywhere? jus wait til we get fixed lmao the floodgates are opening my brothers and the power gamers will arrive in force. my server is kettemoor and only 2 months ago all you saw was tkm's, now it's fencer, seeing as how tkm got nerfed( ya right). the thought of hunting down an individual player and sticking that punk in a dark alley is appealing to alot of people and if we get the power, the power gamers and "dabblers" want it right away. get ready for the constant tells asking how the best way to level up is. get ready for all the new faces excited to join the fracas with the rest of thier guildmates to wreak havok across the core worlds. yes this profession has bad problems the devs need to address, but by far the worst problem as a whole is the addicted power gamer. corellian corvette? please, it doesnt interest me, it's nothing more to me than the tusken fort dressed as something else, big deal. geo caves? same thing. krayt graveyard? same thing, nearly all adventure areas follow the same formula of high powered people devastating the area..........it's boring as hell. chasing down an npc mark on a bike while his buddies shoot at you? well, that'd be cool. when npc marks become interesting instead of doofs with targets on thier backs, it can really get my imagination going. player bounties grief free and unexploitable can really get the juices flowing dont you think? the possibilities are near endless, single player content is what bh's want, that's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. i guess a "true" bh is one that like thier own star wars single player content while having the ability to play with others when it suits them. use your imagination to create your own scenerios and dont waste time on the devs doing it, remember what it was like when u were a kid. power gamers will come and go, and even with all the new content we'll get, they'll split just as quick when another profession becomes all the rage, because they want abilities over everyone else. they want to show it off, and they want it fast. now think if the devs actually get it right and stifle the powergamer? not only will the bh profession be cleared of these whiners, but every class will be cleared of them. impossible? maybe so. but dont let these people get ur game down. in my imagination, im the biggest baddest mf in the galaxy, and the fencer over there is a toy wielding homo. just my little rant. sorry for the long post.

interesting.....why play at all?
Because I am stillusing content that the devs put in... Mainly Jedi bounties- Theykeep me busy when we have them. Hunting for BH armor keeps me busy. Helping friends keeps me busy. The day I stand around with my scatter up my ass trying to figure out what to do & have to resort to making up stories to keep me interested is the day I take a long brake or I quit. I don't pay 15.00 a month to do the devs job, Hell I already tested their software while paying them for the last 11 months. I am not knocking what you do, I think thats great..but to each his own. /shrug

I think its about time we had our own Correspondent, we shouldn't have to post on another forum to get answers.
And as SonGouki seems to have enough on his/her plate with the Huge Jedi probs, I think its only fair that the FS forum gets there own.
And remeber,With out us there would be no Jedi.

Go read the top of this forum, the post from Garva......we don't get a correspondent...
I posted somethingsimilarearlier this week...........face it.........we food for bh's...
Problem with force sensitives.. Its not a "profession" anybody cares about, and its only temporarily..
In a week, I will be browsing the jedi forums instead of this one, and I think the case is the same with everyone..
This is just a place to share info on how to grind fastest way possible really... (or how to more or less "exploit" to get xp fastest possible way.. nading and kill/ress for example..)
(Btw.. I was a nader.. but "exploit" was the only english term I could come up with..)
