It's not about Kash. It's about post-Cu Jedi can't get pearls while dabllers are stronger then full templates. You have an active vocal corr. We were corr-less and now we have one who doesn't keep us informed of what he does.
LOL!
Your not the brightest bulb on the tree are you?
Try clicking bacc's name then going to the link that says "find all posts by this user".
Your not informed because your too lazy to read what your corre is telling you.
You dont have a decent saber because your too lazy to go hunt krayt and get some pearls.
I can't believe your actually whining on the BH forums!
Thanks for the laugh.

Heh, I keep seeing jedi that re indeed like that but then we see other jedi that say jedi are not like that..LOL Guess it shows that players are all differant no matter what prof they play, a few dorks give the rest a bad name. I swear the jedi prof has more than its fare share of "those" types.

So you are saying that giving you the names will fix the problem of Jedi using Kashyyk as a XP farm? Why not just remove XP from kashyyk and turn it into an actual questing planet? Solves everyone's problem. Those that cry for the names instead of just removing the XP are the ones who want the ability to single out specific Jedi for hunting... not because of the Jedi actually grinding on Kashyyk.

With names on the terminal it takes about 10 seconds to go through page with 4 player missions and see the names. That same page would take more then 8 minutes to see the names using droids.

No, removing jedi XP from kash works for me.
I was just saying that names returned from the probe droid is in no way equal to names on the terminal. As a BH that used to target specific Jedi, not over and over but to pick up overt PvP'ers missions, the process usually took 5 to 10 minutes. If your looking at 10 screens per minute with an average of 3 player missions per screen that's about 150 to 300 missions to find a specific jedi.
The droid launching process and information return takes about 2 to 3 minutes per mission. So if your worried about BH being able to target specific Jedi your looking at 300 to 900 minutes to minutes to find a specific jedi or 5 to 15 hours. That would be one hate filled and determined jedi that would do that.

I think Tanks is the definition of an advocate, he has done more for my discipline than any coro to date. I think it is the person behind the position he holds that makes him what he is. He fights for a vision of "game play" not just BH or Jedi but the game in total and apparently has a keen view of this game in total.

Kashyyk has been labled as a quest planet which is why basically SOE hasn't allowed droids to work there (too many life signes is the excuse).
Entirely wrong. The first day of ROTW, the devs realised that seekers would not be able to report if a jedi was in an instanced area. After all, with 10 instances for some of the world it would be difficult if not impossible to code this into the game. Therefore seekers were turned off for kashyyyk permanently. Many jedi saw this as a carte blanche to grind without ever being hunted, which has led to this lame AFK grinding that the game is now plagued with.
Playing your jedi profession should always carry the risk of dying to a BH, it's what makes it so unique. take away that risk and you ruin the image and myth that was carefully built up around the jedi class.

You are a moron... take one little section and say it's completely wrong. We all know WHY it doesn't work with seeker droids.. I was saying what SOE put out as their *reason* why they shouldn't work. That's what I stated... and guess what?? It's entirely RIGHT. Jeez I hate stupid people.
Now go read the rest of my post where I state that AFK grinding on Kash is bad and that to fix it, we need to remove XP from the planet and turn it into truly a quest planet. Retard!

There are a number of ways to Deal with the masses of jedi grinding on kash.
- Increase the mobs stats yet again. Gold elites with 40k ham, decent defences, etc. this would seriously slow down kill rates of the wookies
- Go the oposite way and totaly reduce the stats on the mobs. Turn all the wookies into level 30 or something.
- Justchange the damn spawn timers, so they wont spawn so fast.
I dont agree with turning off xp on kash. I've done a lot of the quests on kash and helped others aswell. I've netted around 1mil banked jedi xp just from doing Kash quests over the past few months, sure its not much, but its nice to gain some xp while doing the quests.
I also dont agree with the actions of some of the CSR's, from my understanding, using the Ryyat trial isn't exploiting, since the spawn isn't bugged and doesn't need to get bugged by players, its working as intented. Having some CSR's spawn level 500 mobs is an abuse of their power. The likes of the Geo-cave or 00 endor were exploits, due to bugged spawns.
