Removal of names is kinda good since it prevents the deliberitae greifing of one particular Jedi...

Ahhhh - the sound of BHs weeping - I love it.
Maybe I get to have some fun with my jedi now. I hate PvP and this is the best news a jedi could have right now.
First of i am tierd of everyone missusing the term griefing; hunting a jedi is not griefing they are on the terms of there fault alone, killing in pvp is not griefing, taking someone's grind spot is not griefing, taking someones harv spot after he picked it up is not grief. Griefing is triple inc so the person's decays, walling someone in is griefing. Now that we cleared this up. PvP is part of jedi you known this and its been common knowledge even before the jedi profession was added, you decided when ya hologrinded or villaged that you were ready for this so please cut the crap. Next is the problem of hunting friends no name means i won't know who i am hunting(i have imp jedi who are friends and i do not hunt). Next problem is hunting same faction. Online is the next problem since nothing would be worse then getting away from the term. Next would be the wookie planet i cannot waste expensive driods on a mark i can't track. With names i can know were he is before i take his mission. Next why should i get the same money for more work.Also revenge is an issue, sometimes people want revenge and will pay extra money for said jedi. A good hunter does not goafter his prey with all information, i don't even use my driods anymore cause i know 95% are on the wookie planet, infact i know therevery location. Plusthe verydescription of jedigoes against this 1.5x stronger we would need skills to make up this .5. So these are all to many problems to makeup and be bug free. So fine if you can fix all these problems do it but it has to be bug free before start.
LOL BH on Kashykk too hard? Is this a joke? I could easily kill 100 jedi in a week in this current system on kashykk. Taking the names off the terminals will actually force BH's to be a BH. A BH shouldn't "choose" his mission it should be given to him and he accepts it. If online Jedi and their faction was posted on theterminals I don't see what the issue is. You all want to "choose" your mark because you want to ensure yourself a victory or to grief someone. Shouldn't BH be all about the challenge? The thought of not knowing who the mark is should make it fun and exciting cause right now it's got to be boring. I know plenty of BH's that have given up the profession due to it not being fun anymore. As for mbh being a requirement. That sounds right but add a few tricks for the BH at the master box.
Go ahead flame away.
This is a horrible idea. It will only encourage Jedi to congregate in public places and make Kashyyyk a completely safe haven. It will waste time as we will draw Jedi that are offline, in our faction or even in our own guild.
The Devs need to figure out what they want to do regarding the Jedi population. They continously nerf the BH role. If they don't believe me, hang around a major starport and see how many Jedi you see now. If they are going to remove the risk of being a Jedi (as these changes will make the risk almost nil), are they going to reduce the reward and bring Jedi down the same level as any other 250 point character? Or do they really expect us to take on random targets solo that are designed to be 1.5x as powerful (who do you think will be on the terms more... paddies are completed templates with nothing to lose from xp grind).
Never understood how you can hunt someone when you don't even know their name..(probe droids aside, I know it's not RL here)
If you are doing this to cut griefing I am all for it with the proviso that other player bounties are coming with it as griefing was your main reason for not implementing this..

Sometimes I think SOE plants guys like this to downplay the real issues.

No, we want to choose the mission so that:
- We don't hunt friends.
- We don't hunt like faction.
- We don't waste time with jedi that are not online.
- We can attack jedi that are showing off in cnet or theed or MO.
- We can stop people from AFK grinding on the (insert favorit spot here - ie. Rryat Trail, Aakuan Champion Cave etc..)
- So we can role play, ask PCs for help in finding marks and learn the behaviors and habits so we know when its best to strike! .
Ridiculous, the notion of no names, no levels being available. What you have done is made it so the BH that Did abide by faction, that DIDN't hunt the lowly newb Jedis will either quit, or become as heartless as the rest.
I really feel this is going to cost them a large number of players.
taking names off of the terms takes away a LOT of skill fromt he BH profession
the #1 reason i had an edge on every fight i had with a jedi, and why i'm the most successful Bounty Hunter on Chilastra...is because of something we all like to call..."intel"
with intel, i knew what my mark was doing before i got within 10km of him - i knew who was with him - i knew what he was thinking and doing
if the terminals dont show names anymore, i CAN NOT gather ANY information and have it actually be USEFUL
sure i can memorize where jedi's live, who they hunt with, what their favorite tactics are blah blah blah....but that all goes out the window if i dont know anything about my mark before i SEE them
one of my biggest advantages is the "sneak attack" - you can ask any jedi i've ever hunted if they saw me before i attacked them....and 99% of them will answer no.....i've never had the skill to "cover up" or any of that rifleman crap...but yet i still swoop in unnoticed and with the upperhand - strking critical blows before the jedi has a chance to react
the only reason i had the ability to do this was due to the INTEL i had gathered concerning 99% of the jedi on Chilastra (i over-exaggerate not)
so if i have zero intel on the jedi i'm hunting....and i have to get within range of my mark to know who it is....there goes the element of surprise and tactic - it becomes a fight/duel - not a "hunt"
