LMAO I haven't heard that one yet I would take it as a compliment. You probably had him really scarred if he said that. Do him a favor and keep checking in on him from time to time. Maybe just "visit" him in your spare time and get him really paranoid.

Griefing? Heck no. The friends list is really more of a "Who's Online" list... the "Friends" functionality , i.e. /findFriend, only happens if he has you on *his* friends list.
If a Jedi has a Bounty Hunter on his friends list, well, Charles Darwin had something to say about that kind of thing after his visit to the Galapagos Islands...
It's perfectly acceptable to have a Jedi on your friends list.

No, but it depends who you ask. Ask a CSR, and they'll probably give no comment.
Ask most BH and Jedi, and they'll say it's perfectly acceptable.
Ask the 1337 Jedi and they'll say it's exploiting. Okay, if it is though, then so is using /who to see if a newbie BH is coming for ya..

I had this happen the other day, I added a good mark to my list to see if they were online as my BH mentor told me to do. when they weren't online, I didn't delete them. a couple of hours later, on they came and out I went after them, mission still in hand. I lost but the jedi claimed that there was no way I could havegotten tohim that fast if I was "playing by the rules" and that I should be "reported for griefing" because I kept him on my list to go after him when he logged on. So, is this griefing?
Not griefing.
You might want to reconsiderhaving jedi on your friends list. If you have them on your friends list, they can /findfriend you even if you are not on theirs. Instead of using the friends list, I use /findfriend to determine if the jedi is online. If he is, it returns with 'unable to locate xxxx'. If the jedi is not online, nothing returns. You also get the added bonus that if a jedi has you ontheir friends list, you get a wp to their location.

Griefing no...i would say ya have a crytit jedi on your hands, and like one poster already noted, keeping a jedi on your friends list after he comes on line is an easy way for the jedi to track you, using /findfriend. thats if he knows your after him/her anyway

My god the things people can come up with, no this is not griefing by any means. Both sides have some whoppers but this is just crazy, im curious if this guy was able to say it with a straight face or not!!!

No. You're not griefing by getting to him quickly. By his statements it would have been perfectly ok for you to have killed him, just a little bit later on. God gave us morons like this to laugh at.

You have to have him on the friends list to check online status. Usually it takes 30-60 for a BH to show up in a busy time, so that was the expectation, but not a rule. Now if this was the only jedi on your friends list and the only one you hunted and you hunted him several times a day, expect to not be able to log into your account for a while.

Okay purely hypothetical bit of fun here.
Say Im travelling with a guildy on the way back to the city from some content. Fly into theed and theres some leet talking Jedi duelling and pwnzoring.
So would itbe griefing for both my friend and Ito flick up the MBH tags and each send a R3 droid following a npc in their general direction?
I know Ive got a sick sense of humour, but with all the /duels going on is sending an R3 unit in someones general direction griefing?

I cant see how that could be considered griefing unless you keep doing it for an unreasonably long time.

If you havent got their mission and you are deliberately trying to fool them into thinking youve got their mission , following them with your droid , i would say yes thats a form of harrasment.
