Thread: Hypocritical Jedi

i have met BHs that feels like that ought to WIN a fight with a jedi, because after all, its their Mission! And when they fail they start ranting too. About haxx, cheat, im gonna report you is all too common. Even if the Jedi is courteous.
You have to live with it. Just as we the jedi have to live with such BHs. However, you choose to go after the Jedi, while we dont have a choice practically to avoid BHs. Unless you hide in your home and dont play the game at all.
The game is not perfect. I wish we could get away from all this namecalling and threats on both sides, but the world have never been perfect. And with lots of kids around. On both sides. what do you expect??

I do this all the time... except i donot leave.
Who cares what group says... really
I will wait at 50 meters for jedi while he runs all his force macro.. for as long as i want.
The groups will say you are preventing grinding.. this is bs they can still grind so can the jedi... they are choosing not to.
If you do that expressley for harassment purposes you SHOULD be ticketed, and risk action. Show up, do your business, and leave, otherwise, you are simply harassing others.
Choosing to run off if you lose your surprise to come back later is a valid tactic. Standing around and acting like a spoiled 9 year old isn't.

why i don't even bother with jedi hunting. i just stick with the pve npc marks and horde the loot.
hah, I was like that oh soo long ago. But once you do it one time..or your first successful kill, you will become addicted. Have you ever successfully stalked a npc mark and literally felt yourhands shaking and your blood flowing a little faster due to anticipation? No dumb NPC AI markcan ever do that. But it happenswhen up against otherplayers, particularly your first few stalks...soon after you calm down but there is nothing comparable to the feeling of a successful stalk and kill on a pc jedi in this game.
it's the thrill of the hunt..

I am only Invest 4 away from MBH on my alt. I do love the new missions (it is so fun to have some solo content, and the loot is nice).
I definately want to hunt PC's once I get master. I don't think my template will do all that well though, MBH/MR/CM 4/0/0/0, knowing what my own Jedi does to that!
That's part of the thrill. Knowing you are at a disadvantage which makes victories even more sweet. yes you are a Jedi,most jedi are notgoing to sit around with full force 24/7 when he is logged on. Eventually he is going to be grinding or showing off in public. I just take my time these days and wait for the right moment of first strike. Some nights however, when I know I have to log soon, i just say , what the fek, *Charge*,

I hear what youre saying. Just remember. Not everyone roleplays therefore, not everyone thinks as you do as a bh. So don't get uspet. Either fight or leave. I wouldn't let those who have little sense get to me.

So last night I'm out hunting Jeds. I fly out to Lok, and track my mark. I get within about 150m and lay on cover and start to move in. Unfortunatley a swarm of Gurks spawn 15m away and break my cover. Well, the Jedi and his group spot me and rush over. A couple Jedi use the /duel exploit as does my mark. He says, "I know you've got my mission. I tried to duel you."
No kidding?
So I tell them that I'm not going to attack and that I'll come back later. I've lost my first strike. I hop on my Barc and say, "Good hunting," trying to be a polite BH. But then the entire group starts labeling me a pu$$y because I won't attack head on. Even low level toons were saying, "Just attack you wuss." I told them that if they wanted to sit here and tell me to attack, all the while the jedi's vis is going up, then it was fine with me. I was going to leave.
Then they say they will report ME!!! Wth, what have I done? I offered to leave!
So after a few more minutes of calling me various names, I say, "Listen, if a BH whines about not being able to kill Jedi, he is countered by Jedi saying 'Don't attack guns-a-blazin or when the Jedi is ready, use tactics.'"
All of a sudden the group got silent until one guy said, "Good point." More silence followed by, "Ok, well, we'll see ya later."
After that, no hate tells. Do jedi even realize how hypocritical they can be?

if your feelings are hurt by tells, neither jedi or bh is the character for you....the stakes are too high....just be happy, it was alot worse before things got toned down.
lol yeah learn /trashTalk2 and get the whole experience
Star Wars is all about trash talk and psychological warfare, look at all the jedi duels in the 6 movies
Or if you wanna fight against other players with all the personality of NPC's go play WoW or Jedi Academy on XBox

I think you two are missing the point of the post. I don't have a problem with the trash talking, and if you read one of my responses I say that I expect it.
My problem lies with the Jedi who tell disgruntled bounty hunters, "Well if you wanna kill jedi, use tactics! Don't run up and start firing! Catch me when I'm not ready!" and then go on to b!tch to you if you don't wait for them to buff/food before you attack. The hypocrisy is what is wrong. I just wish some of these Jedi would see that.
Trashtalking is expected. Both sides do it. However, Bounty Hunters never say, "Why don't you get low on force and then attack a Krayt so I can DB you! You wuss!" Thats basically what a Jedi is saying when they (being 1.5x stronger) say, "Why don't you attack me. Let's fight! I'm ready!"

Please, divulge and answer a few of my questions regarding your post:
1. How am I weak?
2. How am I associated with trash talk when my original post states that I had nothing to say that even resembled an insult or trash talk in any way?
3.How did I get "burned?"
