Ok, ive ready many stories on the forums of BH who find their mark AFK and "have mercy" on him or "wont fight attack him then out of respect/honor".


Coming fromOLD SCHOOL Jedi let me just say....



These punks have ENOUGH BREAKS ALREADY, what they dont need is a large segment of BH who actually lose thier stomache for the hunt when they see they have the advantage in a situation. We BH rarely have ANY advantage and as a BH you are supposed to use every possible thing to your advantage (not Exploits) anyways.


Leaving your Jedi afk is THE WORST crime in being a Jedi.



  • It is a complete disregard for the supposed 'danger' of being a Jedi.

  • It is a blatant disregard for the care of thier xp loss/gain.

  • It is aLAZY JEDI who deserves every last number of the XP lost.

So I implore you, asa Jedi myself and as a fellow BH....



KILL YOUR MARK REGARDLESS OF IF THEY ARE AFK OR JPS (just plain stupid).


That is all...

It's kinda lame when i track my target only to find he's AFK macroing. I kill them anyway, but it's sort of a let down. I came to fight.....AND to get paid. /shrug

I wish I could fit that in my sig. But to be honest I like to keep the prespective that this is a game and people play the game to enjoy themselves. Everyone has gone AFK for one reason or another. I think of it as a timeout like when you use ot play tag as a kid. Having said that if I find a Mouthy Jedi that is AFK I will smite him to the cloner without thinking twice about it. In particular this one Jedi that goes to Mos Eisley and duels and db noobs to get his rocks off. This fool would go to the same spot everytime to go AFK for like 30 mins. Each time he came back he was in the cloner. Of course that all changed with Pub 20 and I digress.

I can fully support the killing of AFK Jedi's. Although I myself have let one slip away, not afk mind you, but he was a padawan doing a quest in which would have caused a major pain in the arse if I killed him then. So I let him go about his business. But if I pulled a mission, and they guy was afk where I could get to him.....heh, he'd a dead man/woman.

It is kinda funny, if you think about it.


Say they were declared Special Forces when they go AFK...they could have logged to the Character Selection screen, they could have gone on leave, they could have done a lot of things. They had to go to the bathroom and decided to leave their character someplace they HOPED would be safe - I HOPE to win the lottery, but that hope hasnt given me any luck yet. If someone is Special Forces and leave the keyboard while the toon is somewhere vulnerable, then they are taking a gamble and can sometimes lose that gamble.


Another example, you are in DWB (which is known for being very tough) and decide to go AFK. It's PvE, but it is also not a safe place. If your toon gets wasted while you were AFK, its your fault, not the games fault.


So now we get to AFK Jedi. Should the rules be different for them than they are for an AFK Spec Forces dude or someone AFK in DWB? The answer is HELL NO!!! When you go AFK, you are taking a chance/gambling that nothing will happen to you while you are away. There are many situations where the Jedi can hedge their bet, by sitting inside a house, inside a City structure, or even sitting in their Spaceship. If a Jedi CHOOSES to go AFK in a location that leaves them vulnerable to attack, then it is their fault for choosingunwisely. It is an indication that the Player might not be cut out for the riggors of playing a Jedi.

I agree, as the old saying goes "if its red its dead"


To me it is just a side effect the game generates. If you willingly go AFK you run the risk, if you crash the risk is still there, but that is the way it works. I got jumped by three jedi a few weeks back when I was Spec Forces and crashed to desktop. Came back dead and my bike destroyed. I would have done the same thing in their position. It basically boils down to not knowing why the target is AFK or LD. Did they log out or throw up an AFK tag to avoid fighting? Did they have a legitimate reason for being AFK or LD? No way to know. It is just the risk you take when you CHOOSE to make your character vulnerable to attack, either by being a jedi or declaring as a spec forces.

I had a 200k Jedi AFK grinding on Kash, when I got there he was dead, I went back to the gate, waited my 30 mins, killed him where he spawned....scum and villainy indeed....

So to the original poster...not a problem here.
