The main reason you will not get the names of the target is because as soon as you find out the marks name you will do /tell to a network of other bh and will form a gank squad with other bh that might have that mission. plain and simple. the devs know this from unproffesional bh before that were greifing, credit cheating with buddies, and gank squads on low level paddies. Just because you know the name doesnt mean you will go attack right away. You will wait till you get others that might have the same mission. After the post c.u. alot of unscrupulous bh showed their true colors along with a ton of respec bh that used the alloted respecs to change to bh to kill other players. It is the behavior of non proffesional bh that have got you in this publish 20 mess. You cant blame anyone else.
The reason the devs took away names was so jedi couldnt get their friends to "hold" all their missions for them. Thats also why they added the 3 day decay.

First off, as stated elsewhere, there are more reasons this publish has come out besides gank squads. BHs are notthe cause of this publish, and neither are jedi. More likely both BHs and jedi share some of the responsibility; while the devs are likely the biggest cause of the change. It looks very possible that the new publish will set up a new FRS, and I think that will benefit BHs in the long run.
Secondly, I have a feeling that it will be impossible for different BHs to get the same jedi mark. However, I could be wrong on this. I can't seem to find the TC notes anymore, but I thought I read that as soon as the BH attacks, a new TEF occurs. From what I remember, this TEF will not allow any others to aid the two players, creating a 1 on 1 fight. Even with my high level of dev skepticism, I can't imagine that after going so far to say that BH/Jedi hunts will be 1 on 1, that they would letone BHattack a jedi while he is currently engaged with another BH.
