I have to keep the messeges simple here so folks like you could understand them.

im sorry to hear this but there is so much afk hunting going on that most will simply ignore it and i ignore it on ... wookie land. And i dont stand next to my mark to tell him im hunting him i tell him in /tell at beginning of hunt then he just has to stay alert.
Just has to stay alert. /agree. Now that what it's all about. One thing, your rp/toon is a reflection of how you feel about yourself or what you want to achieve. Some will have honor. Some won't. That's what makes this MMO cool.
I almost always hunt solo. I usualy hunt targets 200k and more. I RP the whole time. I usualy go up to my target, and inform them they are under arrest for violation of imperial law. The target always has 2 choices... they can come to Darthomir Imperial Prison (long ride ;P) and I have completed my arrest... thus cancel my mission... or they can fight me. Most choose to fight me.
I will use "every pvp trick" in the book to win (no exploits! ever! fair fight!). About 60-70% of the time I do win. I wont db once they are incaped, I will offer them a chance.. to either pay me the ammount of the contract (I dont agree that they lose xp from death thats why i offer this, and its thru tells in OOC).. or i take the money myself thru db.
Even tho I do lose sometimes, most of the time the Jedi's are so impressed.. they PAY me to hunt them again, because they had FUN. I dont engage right from the start. I try to RP... Combat is a last resort for me to bring in my mark. But if it comes down to it.. they are going to have one hell of a fight.
My BH *ONLY* hunts jedi, and only my marks. My pvp rating is over 1450. (I think 1462 or something)
On the other side of things.. We have my Jedi.. who gets ganked left right and center. I never lost to them.. but id love to see a BH that would try to RP at place of attack. Oh well... Too bad for them.. and easy pvp rating for me.
Those are some funny responses. In some cases your foresight and cunning will be the key to completing your mission. Fight dirty, nice, or whatever suits your play style.
I think the worst thing a BH could do, would be to talk trash about or to your mark.
I mean come on, this isn't a first person shooter.

In my time as a BH, I've come across a few jedi who have been LD. I've also hunted many jedi who have been hiding on Kashyyyk, or in houses, or cloaked AFK. Despite my frustration at an incompletable mission, I still hold myself to such a high standard that I will not hunt somebody that I know I can easily defeat. It just isn't fun for me. If I know I can defeat them, its no different than running up to a lair PreCU, and turning on the spin macro. Yes, its xp, and yes its a few thousand credits, butfor my piece of mind, I cannot bring myself to kill an LD jedi. For my honour, I do not get people sending me hate tells, merely a pleasant congratulations for winning a good clean fight... and I enjoy it so much more.
Am I the only person that thinks like this? Are you an honourable Bounty Hunter, or will you do anything for a quick buck? Both types are perfectly fair, and both types are legally supported within the game. I'd simply like to start a discussion on this topic.
Well here comes the catch: I am also a jedi. This morning, I logged in (after a successful /logout, I might add) to find myself in the clone center. Much to my chagrin, I find that I have lost roughly 280k xp (not bad for my first appearance on the terminals) I have of course, submitted a CSR report, because I blame a bugged /logout more than the BH who found me an easy target.
We have to, because if we didnt the Jedi could just log off whenever a BH shows up and never fear losing a single point of xp. It is cheap, but our job is to kill, not to fight.
