Bounty Hunter Archive
Thread: SamousNemo...
no way man. alot of people log in and craft or whatever. the bounty hunters are sick in thinking they should have the right to go into someones private structure and kill them. what these type bounty hunters think is you should be at your pc without moving. no phone calls no breaks no rl nothing. thats just not going to happen and no the devs arent going for that because you are pushing too far with the whole jedi is my content thing. which, they are..to an extent. much like who jedi whine (especially the newbies) about force pvp. the knew what they were getting into, however....
having the ability to be in a house while afk to break for a few is the only "pause" like button for a jedi. and what some of these bounty hunters just cant get into their heads is people do things in real life. ive never sat in a house just to piss bhs off. its just not my style, let alone boring, unless im actually doing something in there. I dont center my game around bounty hunters even tho they want the same for us. sorry, not gonna happen.
but no, if someone is in their structure afk, thats their business. the audacity that bounty hunters think that my swg gaming experience, or the jedi experince is so focused on *jedi making bounty hunters mad by afk in the house* is almost hilarious. Like reall, im going to go that far just to make a bounty hunter mad. i could care less. plus i have many more things to do in the game that be that focused on a bounty hunter. the few that think this way need to get over themselves. Sorry to tell you, but not all jedi are THAT concerned about bounty hunters.

Hold on people, I think you missed the point of what he was saying. It 's not about the issues of house sitting Jedi, it's that a correspondent shouldn't be deciding what *they* want to take to the Devs regardless of what the BH community are interested in.
The Correspondents are liasons, representatives, not policy makers. They should take *our* views to the Devs, not *theirs*.
The correspondant is also going to be extremely busy, which means he also has a responsibility to us by not wasting his time. I beleive he is correct in thinking that pursuing a jedi house eviction is a big waste of his time because it wont ever happen. No profession correspondant can be 100% representative of their communities, there are far too many idiots to make that altruistic approach to reprentation realistic.
I support his approach.

The big difference is that we do recognize that people need to go AFK for RL issues.. i do that everyday that I play cause I have kids that need my attention at that moment... and yes it has gotten me killed several times as a BH cause it happens during combat... On the opportunites where I have the chance to protect myself by sitting in my houseit has been nice to do so but i know i am cheating the gameplay, cause realistically.. ifsomeone is after me, who in thier right mind is going to stop trying because you closeyour front door.I accept that it is a cheat and Idont complain. reguardless of the reason, RL is RL and a game is just a game,so point beingif you are cheating accept it and admit it, however if they fix something about it.. then just deal. Reguardless, f they are going to allow you to continue cheating, then they at leastneed to do something for the BH whos mark is house sitting whatever that fix may be.
So quit whining and just deal with whatever comes.
Living inside of ones house is not cheating, spending time in ones house is not cheating, those houses are there for a reason, and one should feel free to be inside one without being labelled a cheater.

Removing jedi from privatestructures is a terrible idea. We all agree that there does need to be some way to let us know theyre AFK/in structure before we get there, but that's as extreme a fix we need.
Asking for jedi to be removed from structures is a totally irrational wish that's onlyperpetuated by about 5% of the BH community. Use your head- it's not a reasonable request.
Back on topic, I feel the corrospondant IS representing this communities collective thoughts.
This post should endthis topic.

The topic ends because the discussion has reached a conclusion, not becasue you say it should end with your post.
Oh, well thanks for clarifying that for me. Here I was going about thinking I controlled every happening in the world, including who posts what and when on the SOE forums. Thanks for setting me straight. You're truly a hero amongst heros! I'm now much better off since heeding your advice. You should considerwriting a book, or at least an informational pamphlet.THANKS!

If the correspondant job was to forward all ideas to the devs, the wouldn't need coro and just need to read boards
Coros are here to forward GOOD and CONSTRUCTIVE ideas to the devs, not all of them
I do agree with him on not pursuing the idea to remove a bounty from a structure. And i am a BH. This would just be grieffing (even if i say that the only 100% efficient way for a bounty to be safe is to logout).
You don't agree with him, maybe more does. The coro will not just listen who screams the louder, but maybe who gives GOOD ideas.
Samous has done the smart thing and has driven us to be more creative and come up with an idea that the devs can impelement without upsetting their happy little player base. So if you just remember to take into consideration that its ok to prevent Jedi griefing by griefing Bounty Hunters, and not vice versa, then you should be able to narrow down some solutions.

First off, let me start by saying, "Welcome and Congrats on being the new BH Correspondant."
Now that I got that out of the way, let me comment on some posts of yours.
"Please keep in mind that any form of removing a bounty from a structure is not an alternative I am willing to pursue."
This is one, but I do not agree with your thinking. You are a correspondant. Not a dev or the sole leader of the BH community. What your job here is to SUPPORT our ideas and issues. You are a liasion to the devs. You are our voices. It isnt up to you what you want to pursue. If you want to have our support, then you need to rethink how you handle things. I know you just started as a correspondant, so I am giving you some advice. Instead of listenting to your own ideas and thinking about how YOU can improve the BH profession, you need to listen to our ideas and do your best to make us happy. That is what a correspondant does. Take a look at all of the other correspondants. They do their best for their profession. That's what you need to focus on.
I do not mean to come off rude, but I have been a BH for 2 years and although I didnt get everything I wanted for the BH's, I know Tanks did his best to make us happy. If you do not feel you can do this, please step down and let someone else do this. Thanks.
what other ridiculous item do you want him to make a fool of himself with on the devlopment boards? forced landing at kadaara if they are flying in space? maybe autowarp to the bh term of your choosing if they are running quests on Kash?
get a pair
you used to be a descent BH when you had amel running with you all the time, you didnt whine, you didnt cry, you just took misions and tried to kill jedi(well, okay, you cried once in a while, but tkm melee stackers with fire knucklers wipes away alot of bh tears). Now all the sudden you want to be ap^ssy and have every jedi handed to you. Nice addition to your prof.
