Player Bounties would be alot of fun, on top of jedi bounties, it would make BH alot more in depth, and Smugglers having to smuggle something would be great lol.
I still think players should be able to put a bounty on another players head, that would be cool.

I would like to see things like if you get caught with a sliced weapon, both you and the smuggler who sliced it are termed. -5000 in any faction would get you on the boards as well, and I like the idea of NPC bounty hunters--say you kill a bunch of Jabba's thugs outside his palace for some reason or another, then you realize you have a couple high-level NPC's on your ass to teach you right from wrong--if they can get to you before a player BH, of course.

I always thought that BH's should be hunting other player types. Smuggler works well for it...because in a RP sense...you guys are as much criminals as we Jedi are.
It would make for more immersion for everyone I think.
I have also thought that BH's that fail to often should get their own price tag above their heads .....BH's would literally be feared by everyone! that would be very fun environment for a large portion of the population

The smugglers were talking and we've all thrown in our hat to be hunted. (with one or two exceptions) The one caveat being that we need something to be hunted for. We all love the ideas posted by GreenMarine in This post.
If the smuggling missions are implemented we've all (with one or two exceptions) said that we'd love for all y'all to hunt us for screwing up missions, etc... It would make for a great RP feeling for our profession. "Aww hell, I failed my mission for Jabba." ::checks last ditch:: "Ready."
Cheers!

I love this Idea but Make sure you cover all aspects of this. Make sure there could be no exploit, no grieving, just pure fun with out any loss of XP and low pay out,
I also think there should be an option to particpate in player bounty.. that way no one is force to PVP in the smuggler profession.
Jedi on the other hand should be hunted and destoryed reguardless if they want to pvp or not......
TOO many jedi are walking around freely.

My only problem with adding smugglers to the terms is that because any normal profession other than jedi is going to be eaiser to hunt and kill, therefore there will be a huge wave of smugler 'griefing', much the same way that there is the alleged paddy griefing now. I say alleged, since I still maintain that paddies should be hunted more often, since the original intention of the bounty system was to curb the population of jedi. There are always goin to be bh out there that want to hunt the easier marks, regardless of whether its out of laziness or just people new to the profession that want to test out their skills before they move up. I've said it before - its pure Darwinism that the lower level missions get pulled more often, and there will soon be a wave of smuggler outcry about 'griefing' because you get hunted more often than jedi, much like there is the perception from jedi that only paddies get hunted now.

I made a post that perhaps the smugglers could be allowed body guards basically they can assign two non jedi characters with their permission to be able to help attack any bounty hunters after them. Of course they would have to discuss the arrangement and pay of these two other player charcters that would help them fight off any BH's.

I imagine the difference would be A) The payouts would be similar to normal NPC hunting. You'dnever have a 100K bounty on a smuggler.and B) We don't get put on the terms just for hanging around looking like a smuggler. You have to take an "advanced" mission and fail. Check out this thread from the devs. I think they're onto something. And I'm also thinking that only master smugglers can take those missions guaranteeing better success and someone who's more of a challenge to fight.

This kind of goes on with the idea of taking people along on your smuggling missions. I'd hope that some of theadvanced missions would be high-risk and you'd probably need a group. So you pick up a couple of players to be hired guns and some specialists. (Master pilot, etc...) If you fail EVERYONE on the team gets visibility.

The devs think they can take forced pvp away there wrong fight the power bhs. Personaly I dont just go to a bh mission terminel thinking oh what a exciting chance to have a jedi loose xp. I need some pvp the spirit of fighting a player is much more fun than fighting dol lifeless bots. fighting players is a chance to test skills. I personaly think all combat profesions should be hunted. Bhs show the devs were not gonna take no player bounties bump this thread and show the devs we want some more fun instead of fighting lifless npcs

• Bounty Hunter = Boba Fett
Bounty Hunters chase the worst foes in the galaxy. You will learn to use whatever dirty tricks you must to bring your prey down.
When someone needs an enemy taken care of, they hire Bounty Hunters to do their dirty work. Tracking down and eliminating people are what Bounty Hunters do best. As a Bounty Hunter, you must learn the tricks of ambush and assault so your prey does not escape.
After reading this i was really excited and thought WOW, finally I can place a bounty on someone i dislike and he will get hunted then. That would have been awesome. After reading further then apparently i read that player bounties will get removed. 
I really think it would have been an awesome idea to allow players to place a bounty on someone else. There should be some restrictions tho, like it would only be possible to place a bounty on someone CL54 above or whatever or give and option to partake in the player bounty system or not, since not everyone likes to be hunted, but for sure would it have helped the Bounty profession alot and added some nice new content to it.
