terms as in "words" not terminals hehe



1. Gank Squad= What does this mean and why is grouping to kill a Jedi wrong?


2. Real Bounty Hunter= again, what does this mean exactly?



If anyone can help me out with definitions of these terms, I would appreciate it.


Thanks and have a nice day

Should I just go ask the Jedi what these are?


My thinking was that a bounty hunter would be able to define "real bounty hunter" for certain....


no clue on Gank squad...

If you really dont know these I have to ask , What game have you been playing? To add... how did you make it this far without knowing these?



Unless of course your trying to be a smart azz and looking for a comment so you can think your "Witty" and then reply with some sort of banter that has been said 100000 times before you.


If you really never heard of these and your completly lost in the game and have been for 2 years then I would say GO ask a player in game.

1) Sending parties of uneven odds (5v1 is a gank) - Why 2v1 is a gank (2 BH vs 1 Jedi,) but somehow it is. Why was this change? Jedi whined (mostly padiwans) - THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BH AND GANK SQUADS WAS TO KEEP THE JEDI POPULATION DOWN AND IN CHECK! A "Real Bountry Hunter" is someone who went through master scout and master marksman, grinded the LLC tree we used to have with a weapon that was pretty useless, anf gained investigation when we got less xp, and half our NPC targets didn't work (inside trees, not there, etc) and didn't have much room left in their template. "Fake" or "respec" (I dunno what they're calling them - some are just new players) are typically those that were master architects or dancers and suddenly became BHs overnight bytyping /respec. I can't say this is entirely fair to say, as there are plenty of Jedi with "Profession: Master Entertainer" badge - and that's it for professions.


It's just people being jerks (sometimes, rightfully so...)

So if the "real" BH's are those who did it the old way, and by all means I give them much respect, what about folks like me who are grinding through the progression as it stands now? It's certainly easier, but it's no respec either...

Yeah, I said that "some are just new players." You'll have that. It's just people being stupid. Ignore them.

Well, I can see their viewpoint - they had to do quite a bit more than me to get the same thing, so they're a little annoyed. Fair enough. I won't let it bother me, though, no worries.


Thanks for the kind words, though!

No , not trying to make a "witty" remark at all...


Thanks for the response, much appreciated.


I guess I am both a former FBH and a former RBH since I have done it both ways...


Now I am neither



I still stand by the position that Jedi getting mobbed by BH's is their own fault...they should do a better job of staying off the terminals, especially the Paddies...

Seems to me:


fake/respec BH is any BH that loses, even if the mark is Jedi Master and 1v1.


real BH is any BH that wins, only provided the mark is a Jedi Master or higher.


real jedi is any jedi that knows how to use methods like run into house, accept ride, spam invite or duel or wins or loses in a jedi/BH conflict (just kidding to prove a point, this is what the BH sees after the comments above.)



I actually got a "Dirty tricks" comment (though not from the mark) after a mark cloaked, ran, stopped running when i followed, blew up my bike,regen'd force while cloaked, andfought him solo for 15 min and collected my 225k bounty solo after all my buffs had completely worn off (as were his).


Point is, respectful jedi (after you win or lose) are about 2 in 10 in my experience. But we must also consider, they're the one's losing xp upon death. Take it with a grain of salt. We each have our function. Mutual respect is rare and cherished when you experience it.

I have been playing this game btw , off and on since Beta..


the same way anyone else that doesn't know what these terms means has made it this far...by playing the game.


If I wanted to be a smartass, I'd just be a smartass.


I have never heard either of these terms in game. I have read them on these boards a whole heckuva lot though..



It's a whole lot easier to answer a question with another question than it is to actually provide an answer.
