Thread: If Jedi hunting was taken out of the game would you quit?
I probably would...since there wouldn't be much left that I really enjoy. I like the hunt, the pvp and all the hate...and going SF to get taken out by a ganksquad 4 seconds later while I'm loading at a starport just isn't fun.
If I wanted to interact with npc's and do quests and such...I'd go play something else...that's a lot better done, like any of the Elder Scrolls games...I play this for the interaction with other people...but the hunt is my main draw...
Jedi have been asking not to be hunted since PC bounties were first introduced. Bounty Hunters have been asking for some pretty crazy things too. Just because people ask for something doesn't mean it will be changed
But yes, I've been a BH since before Jedi even existed, so I'd continue to play and hunt. I'd probably reorganize my template for other things, but MBH would always be a part of it
God bless those pre-req reductions
I remember having alot more fun before the Jedi were added to the game. SOE took out variety by adding Jedi. Everyones a freaking Jedi....
PVP Game was at its climax just after the Commando fix. Oh man...great times.
killing jedi/fight bh's is all i really do for pvp since all it is anymore is gank fests my bh is 1660 pvp and jedi is 1550

I would probably quit the game, yes. Jedi hunting is what I work in the game for. I get money to buy new equipment to hunt Jedi. I do quests when I'm bored or am changing temps or equipment.
I think SOE knows that if Jedi hunting were removed, a sizeable percentage of the player base would cancel their accounts, so I doubt they'll do it. I do think, however, that they will give the Jedi more of a reason to fight us.

To me the only reason to get the best of the best equipment is so that you can compete with other players. Even in high end PvE you only need good equipment (not great).
So unless jedi hunting was replace with a viable galactic civil war there would be nothing for me to do and I would not be able to justify the monthly fee.
I ask this because thats what Jedi are pushing for now. They just don't want to be hunted at all. I could see this happening. Basically they'll complain and use griefing (which is almost impossible now) as the reason to remove it.
I would be pushing for it too... but I think that is what SOE has in mind. The fights between a Jedi and the dreaded MCM, MBH, 0004 Pistols BH FOTM template is heavily sided in the favor of the bounty hunter as it is. Add in the perma-snare that is coming with the expansion and there is 0 chance of Jedi defeating this FOTM template after that. Let's take a look at the upcoming changes:
1) Nerfing Force Run / Burst run with the perma-snare so Jedi cannot get away anymore
2) Nerfs to cloak
3) Upcoming increases to mind / action costs when using force abilities
4) Sabers are in-line (if not lower) than other profession weapons
5) Pearls / Crystal nerfs and SOE refusal to fix them (as stated by Tiggs... premiums will NOT be returning)
And this is just the start. Every patch seems to have more nerfs to Jedi. Now let's ask ourselves... are Jedi really overpowered against the FOTM BH templates? Not at all. So why continue nerfing them?
Simple answer... SOE is making them just like any other profession. It has been coming slowly and gradually... but the end conclusion is the same. Once that happens... there is no longer a justification to continue allowing forced pvp against another *normal* profession.
Just my thoughts on the subject... though I no longer play a Jedi due to all the stupid nerfs that have come down the pike that has made being a Jedi simply boring.
