You left out a few key points.....

1. Jedi lose 2x the amount of time....even by your flawed thinking....since they lose time to get the xp...and the time to reaquire it.

2. If the BH wins they get xp and the bounty amount. If the Jedi wins all they get is more visibility and another visit from a BH.

Simple fact is that until you remove the penelty or give a reward Jedi have absolutley no reason to fight you. Problem is that there is no easy way to do that without Jedi finding a way to exploit it.

when the Jedi win they dont gain anything? When they win and max their temp they get the best character possible in the game

So you're saying that instead of pressuring Sony to fix the exploits or god forbid ban people for abusing bugs we should make them change the game so that the Jedi cheaters don't feel they have to?

No i believe he is saying that there is nothing to gain from fighting a BH so the Jedi will not fight them unless they feel like possibly loosing the XP.

Some Jedi exploit, as do some Bounty Hunters. You cannot classify all as doing something that all do not do.

As it stands a BH mission start to finish takes about 1 hour.

If you kill a Jedi they loose 2X amount of the mission so lets just say 300k XP for a 150k Jedi.

300k takes more than an hour to gain back (when there is no double XP, and you cannot use Double XP as an example since it is not a constant.) So therefore the Jedi looses much more time than the BH when they die in combat.

Bh Gains:

1) XP

2) Money

3) Content

BH losses:

1) Time

Jedi Gains:

Nothing

Jedi Losses:

1) Time/XP

See the problem with the system?

saying a Jedi gets to keep his XP is foolish reasoning behind the argument. This is the reason Jedi Do not fight. All risk , and No gain from a BH encounter will always cause a problem with both communities. The Risk Vs Reward in teh BH/Jedi MetaDrama needs to be looked at.

No I am not a Jedi, just an outside observer who can see the problems int eh system without being Biased to one side.

I also find it funny that i keep reading the mention that Jedi are more powerful than BHs so it makes it all ok, however in the same forums I see countless posts from Bounty Hunters that claim to be easily able to either

a) Kill a full template Jedi in a few short simple steps

b) go toe to toe with a Jedi for 30+ minutes.

The posts about loosing to Jedi are far less common than the threads talking about killing them.

How is this possible if Jedi are so muchmore powerfull than a Bounty Hunter?

So basically the argument that the Jedi gets to be the best class ingame is also a moot point.

The basics come down to it is a flawed system thatneeds to be adjusted. It seems to be one of the Pre-CU systems thatis still inplace, and not working in a Post CU world.

and once again for the people that do not read but skip to the bottom.

I am not a Jedi.
