Honestly...my BIGGEST problem with Kashyyyk (OTHER then the LOS) is the inability to find out if the Jedi I'm hunting has already left the planet. Talk about a wild goose chase. I have spent more then a few hours "hunting down" my mark...only to be left wondering, "Maybe they already left the planet, and I'm missing my chance to catch them on another planet".
Just because they were on Kashyyyk last time you checked, does NOT mean they are going to stay there until you find them.
send up a seeker droid every so often, if he has left the planet, it will send back your target is not on this planet, if he is still on it will give the stuff about not being able to locate him.

Then there is the Hunting grounds...That place is pretty big and limited to mount travel. In the hunting grounds I have found Jedi by the Ullers, and webweaver canyon.
Then, while not really ON Kashyyyk, the Avatar platform, which takes a bit of time to get to is becoming popular....INSTANCED! Even if I launch up to the Avatar, I believe it's a different Avatar all together, locking out anyone NOT in the group.
Lazy...I think not. The bottom line....it's just not worth a mere 226K (as if fully templated Jedi still grind) to find a Jedi who is going to move 15m into a LOS.
To think a full template doesnt like to have + exp is foolish. Several times i know ppl who wanted to change templates (pre-respec) and had to grind 10mil out of the hole before the could even start working on their new template. With the cloning exp loss removed its alittle easier. As a full template you still have BHs coming for you and still lose 420-452k expper BH deathblow. Also, jus b/c they are 226kish on the terms and are on kash, doesnt mean they are grinding afk. I know alot of full templates who are jus there do to the quests and get the rewards for themselves and guildmates/friends. They were finished with their templates before the cu and want some of the content available on the planet. Jus learn to do your job as a BH. If you cant hack it, respec back to what you were before. The devs cant seem to figure out how to make droids track a moving target in multiple instances. Im sure on what ever server your on, there are a group of BHs who map out the instances and post names, if you are too lazy to do it yourself, youMIGHT be able to get those who are DOING the legwork to help you instead ofwhining here.

There is one good grinding spot with 6 instances. Thats 6 spots.
Go to each one and see if the mark is there
Non Jedi grind there just as much as Jedi also.
I think not. And there are not 6 spots, there are actually 12, 2 on each instance. The Jedi who *really* know how to exploit move to the second spot because there usually isn't a spy toon standing down there and they don't even get visability. Typically you find 4-6 on the top spot and they are all on the terms, but then the next spot will also have 3-4 not on the terms, so basically 60 Jedi grinding at any one time. Running down to these two locations is not an excersise in fun gameplay either. Since I have not figured out how to exploit my way in (not willing to either), I pretty much have to be willing to take 1 or 2 incaps to get to the Jedi. Well, I guess I could fight my way down but that takes forever and a day and that is if you don't "fall" off anywhere along the way and have to /unstick yourself to the last trail guide you were at. Lastly, there are rarely any non-Jedi there. There may be 1 spy, and 1 or 2 other toons mixed in grinding, but those are usually just Jedi wannabe's anyway.
Ryatt Trail grinding Jedi will become the the most irritating targets once the terminal changes come live. Right now it is a mere inconvenience since usually a BH spy can tell you which trail your mark is on.
12 or 6, the point is the spots are limited.
And as far as non jedi being there that is not the case on Valcyn its prety evenly mixed
But since you can grind an elite prof in less than a day if you look on every server more jedi are grinding than otehr elite professions

The logic as far as I can tell is that they want everyone (especially jedi accounts which are gauranteed $$) to purchase the expansion, but theyll never get me!

Kashykk: New Jedi private grinding Planet, who needs houses when you got Kashykk? House TEF being implemented.. Who cares if they have their own friggin planet to live and grind on with virtually no risk.. someone please explain the logic of Kahykk to me, and it better not be: They want Jedi to grind in peace so their numbers can be increased..

WRONG...
Rryat trail has 6 instances
The Mydril Caves have 6 instances

Mydril caves used to be a good place to grind. But the crits have 20k ham. The guys on the Ryat trail only have 8k ham. both give the same amount of xp. So you'll get the same amout of xp for 2x the work. And 2x the work means less force/action/mind.
You also have to remember that on the ryat trail, you can get maybe 100k of xp in an hour. In a group you can get 200-400k an hour. Plus on the trail, you gain visibility when you kill a wookiee npc. With atk group grinding, there is no penalties, since you'll be hunting crits.
In any case. BH got nerfed.

The Jedi that come in here and argue that we can come get them any time fail to recognize that once there are no names on the terminals we will have to search a million different possible combination of locations to find our mark. It is not lazy it is just stupid. Why would I ever hunt Jedi after this publish? If I spend 1-2 hours *finding* my mark on the Trails, all they have to do if not afk is step back 10m and I lose LOS. Yay, they got rid of house sitters with bounty TEF but now every Jedi will most definately grind on Trails and I cannot kill them there because ofa LOS bug. Now tell me why I would even try?
Give BH's the ability to arbitrarily TEF any jedi that they personally see using Jedi powers, now that would change things. IE, no need for getting a Jedi bounty off the terms, all you do is go down Trails, spot the ones using their lightsabres, you get bounty TEF, kill Jedi (or not), receive bounty credit chit upon deathblow, go back to spynet rep or some other new BH npc and collect minimum bounty (~33k) for killing anonymous Jedi. Only one credit chit may be held by a BH at a time and you cannot receive a credit if you have an active BH term bounty mission. While holding a BH credit chit a BH cannot innitiate bounty TEF on another mark until that chit is turned in for credit.

Kashyyyk will be a problem because you wont know the name of your target.. Since droids dont work on kash, how are you able to know who your target is. You would have to stand there and select each Jedi and see if they have the "attack" option........

"Cycle Target Enemy Outward" does not always work. In fact I have almost never gotten it to work even under the current system when I know the name. I typically have to do /target (name). Yes, I know that if a mob is closer it will target the mob, I am talking about "TAB" *never* targeting your mark even when you cycle through all targets available. With the new system I am going to have to highlight every Jedi standing around in order to find my mark, all the while they will be spamming me with all their aura's and such to try to make my FR drop to zero.

Weird. I always Tab my marks and it works fine. I still think we need names, though.

You sure don't type like you're 31, my 10 year old sister types better than you. That was just one big huge sentence, apparently, grammar isn't your brightest area.
Most NEW jedi are like this, tell me, do they deserve to have immense power at little to no cost? Tell us their god damn names, along with the faction and online thing. Even Jedi are getting bored by ALWAYS having to fight other Jedi, I'd say 1/4 of Bria is already jedi, after this patch, I don't look forward to seeing Bria 2/4 or even 3/4 Jedi. If you wanna make Jedi so easy, then nerf them down to a regular profession, and the Jedi you hear complaining in here and saying that it is fair are just angry that they won't get to be uber before they AFK finish their templates.
