yourgripeis with SOE and not the actual BH i'd say m8, we dont make the game we just play it..BH's have plenty of issues of their own with SOE, some of these have also made me consider quitting the game to..yup i know how you feel..
and for the record im 33 and was a TKM BH before CU although i do seem to have problems convincing most jedi's of this.
i am sorry to read you have cancelled your account though.

Thanks to everyone else for the constuctive comments. To the person that posted this, you're a cretin.

I've talked to several jedi that don't have a problem solo grinding.

Little tip, hunt with friends of your having long range weapons enough to don't be in your vis zone... carabine and rifle.. with 2 of them (even one) you'll be able to get good exp, take peoples you know and are ready to help you because random encounters players tend to forget the vis zone not your friends.... maybe it will surprise you but this is a suggestion from a bh. I don't hate jedi, I hate immature jedi powergrinder roxor who break my immersion. Jedi like you? I want more.

You quit? Oh darn. You seem a little long-winded anyway. You are still complaining and whining. If you grinded Jedi like most do, you would be making more XP grinding in a group and accepting the BH deaths than you could crying about not wanting on terms. Goto WoW and start complaining in their forums.

Ok i have to agree that this is the ONLY post from a jedi on this forum that has been worth reading, alll others just make sarcastic comments and basicly just fill this forum with BS. So firstly thanks.
Now im a MBH and MRM and i agree that it is very hard for you too hunt as things stand, although there are alternatives, as stated if you get a good group you can get the exp alot faster and alot more efficiently. I live in UK (because iv played various accounts since release and no EU servers on release since i got imported) this means i play alot off-peak, you cant imagine how many jedi i see in dantooine mo off-peak, i see more in 20mins off-peak than i will see in 2hours peak time. But i oftern group with 1 or 2 low endjedi who are LFG before the 'Bounty Rush', i can solo cl80 bols pretty easily, i oftern hunt solo because i cant find a group due to my time-zone but i can bring 2 jedi that do no damage to the bols and are really of no use, sometimes they have a low level heal that saves me a couple stims but i could live without, although all they have to do to get max exp is hit the bol once so they both get 1 hit and i kill, they easisly get 100k-150k an hour and im pretty much solo'ing so it really isnt as bad as you make out, its just a case of adjusting your gaming style to suit a new enviroment.
As for the hideing in houses and hunting kash it is very frustrating, iv almost given up completely on bounty hunting, its more like 1/10 or 1/15 huntable marks, you can spend hours and hours sitting at terminals and get nothing huntable.
As for the 'contract' you agreed to at the time, seems alot of these 'contracts' SOE make are flexable, Just as when i became MBH i didnt know jedi pull houses out, didnt know kash couldnt be tracked on and didnt know i could be attacking a jedi for 20mins to have him use cloak... - Flexable contract, not as extreme as yours but just an example.
But as my current character was made after the respec token were given out, i couldnt respec to MBH, spent days grinding investigation int he hope that it would pay off, hasnt even been a week and alredy considering dropping BH.

I refuse to become some 12-year-old respec-BH's plaything, and as a result I missed out on double XP. I also didn't choose to unfairly take advantage of the respec, another thing I was penalized for.
nothing unfair about the respec. everyone used it to tune their template. if you are talking about the jedi method of exploiting the point system, then good for not using it.
as for the double xp, i have a young padawan guildmate who unlocked right before CU. he grinded all through the double XP and never got on the terms until he was careless.
don't blame SoE for your misunderstanding of the system

Lies, you get 1 point of XP even for each grey-con creature you kill.
(...)
Actually, jedi get about 1/6th of regular weapons xp for a kill, and 1/6th of the xp you get for killing a grey con is less than 1, and decimals are cut away - so jedi _do not_ get a single xp for killing grey-cons.

A fully templated Jedi currently is not the best PvP template in game, and it wont be the best PvP template after pub 19. So get your facts right before acting ignorant to the problems the original poster stated.

Just because your template, which I suspect to be all about root / snares / DPS, cant beat a fully templated Jedi, doesnt mean another non-jedi could not do it. Sure, its not an easy task. Secret is to get the Force bar down instead of the health bar, and you will either see a running or a dead Jedi.
