Thread: What should we do about the jedi?
id go with this idea cept...
1) bh hunting groups are near impossible for alot of people to set up now.
2) kashyyk is a boring place to have to keep going to kill jedi 
3) xp loss doesnt matter to alot of padays because they are afk grinding more back than you can make them loose.
4) most near fully templated jedi can beat a 3 vs 1 or 4 vs 1.
not hunting them means there will be more jedi...however also means jedi is less of a "special" class if every1 you know is one...after you pvp with only jedi within a couple months you get bored and go play wow cause your sick of the game with nothing to do and allthe vendors are dry because all the crafters left game or have jedi...its a long term plan that will probs work .... or we can try get the system changed ...i support both

(...)Bh are being stopped from being the jedi population control so im not gonna fight against rediculous odds meh.
... that happened when perma death was removed. BH are not the Jedi population control authority, and they should not be. No class should be able to have a final say on how many people there are in another class.
If you chose BH because you enjoy stalking other players and waiting them out till they mess up before you kill them, you will have fun as BH - otherwise I suggest sticking to NPC marks or choosing another profession.

Many people are doing the "stop hunting them and let them die of boredom routine" but only the capped jedis like BH's hunting them, if you want to stop the jedi we must kill ALL we can as much as we can, This isnt about the money, we need to team up, set up groups of 10 and go out and kill jedi after jedi after jedi, make them lose lots of XP, if all BH's on all galaxies did this it would slow the jedi down and discourage some of the newbs, when you see alittle 25K mark or something, go hunt it with friends, I know it is MUCH more scarier for a newb jedi to be hunted by 4 level 80's that completly own him then one level 80 that jsut owns him a bit!
Please, Please stop this stupid idea of letting jedi die of boredom!
Please tell me your opinion of my idea, any suggestions appreciated (and you cann tell me its BS I dont really care, Its what I think I just wanna know who agrees)
First of all there is no way to stop the jedi. Yes the original designers said they would be rare, but they also designed this as a sophisticated role-playing game. Marketting forces realized that if this game had been made in the 70's that it would have been a hit role-playing game.. becuase wargaming and rpg's were popular then. Now kids are mostly hopped up on all kinds of parent induced medications, have the attention span of a gnat and just want to swing glowsticks around.
This is beneficial to the developers and producers becuase the game doesnt require much sophistication. All plans to improved other professions were scrapped a LONG time ago and almost 100% of the development resources, which are not very much by the way have been pumped into jedi.
SOE and the existing designers dont give a ratts butt about smugglers, bounty hunters or providing content for anyone except JEDI, why? because the huge majority of the customer base just want to swing a lightsaber for a couple hours a day and feel uber and they are happy
If you are a jedi hunting BH the game is not designed for people like you. Go jedi or quit.

k ..i enjoy hunting jedi as much as the next bh but i really dont like a system where bh's are having to wait for a jedi to duel to have some small chance of catching them offguard.. as much as people dont like the whole attack face to face method i did ...waiting for a jedi force bar to go down only for them to take a holocron and batter you with rediculous ls damage is really not the way i wanna spend my time playing ...id rather get the system changed, and if this is what some bh's want this profession to be like this then i think you should played pre cu and known what it was like to fight every single jedi knowing that you had a chance of winning while they were fully prepared. win some or loose some the bh profession actually meant something then.
Actually pre-CU Jedi were stronger than Jedi are currently. You have a better chance at beating a prepared Jedi than you had pre-CU. And Jedi could use Holocrons pre-CU, too

then how come bhs had a better time soloing jedi then...hummm
Only the ones with insane DoTs or exceptional weaponry - and melee stackers. MBH / MCM is the new "melee stacker".
melee bhhas been totally nerfed with this new m bh rule...ive never known that many bh use dots in the old system or adk psgs. Mainly it wasnt if you were powerful enough it gave you the ability to use a template to kill a jedi as quickly as possible with the art of suprise...bh's have lost that know ..all you can hope for is that you can get a few shots off before they fr to you and thatyour fighting a noob jedi

You cant complain about FR since now there are actually counters to FR in the game, which werent there pre-CU.
