Hmmm what to say. Well personallly i dont hunt jedi they arnt worth my time or my effort. i can make the same amount of money in space grindng the day away up there should i feel the need for cash. The reason i personaly dont hunt jedi is because i hate it when i loose time, Nothing get's my goat more than when i have spent hour's or day's etc working on something to have it fall appart get deleted vannish or fail miserably. So i can sympithise with being a jedi and loosing the countless hours of grinding manotiny just to accieve something to have it taken away from you in a matter of minuts or seconds.
That being said It is in ones own parogitive to play in our own way jedi choose to be jedi they must accept the good and the bad that comes with that. As we choose to hunt jedi we can expect a litany of abuse of some sort or another for it this is what we must accept. That's the life we choose I dont care wether people dont like me or not that's their issue not mine (though i do like to get along with people) but at the end of the day i play for me and accept what comes with the play style ive chosen.
I have no sympathy for them. No one pulled the proverbial wool over their eyes and led them to believe that they would not be hunted and that if killed by a BH that they wouldn't lose xp. This is common knowledge to every player on every server after about 5 minutes.
Everyone knows this, yet the village is always packed with up-and-coming Jedi.
Jedi make a decision to enter into permanent PvP status. They are the only class that this applies to. If you do not want to risk PvP and loss of time/xp then don't become a Jedi.
Same faction hunting? The BH Terminals give nice descriptions about IMP Jedi ...... "enemies of the empire regardless of political affiliation". That seems pretty simple to me. You Imp Jedi are not Sith, you are dark jedi. The emporer wouldn't have you in the empire. At best you'd be a covert agent, such as a Hand .... and even the Hands risked assassination for the slightest failure.
Which Jedi Master trained all of you guys? Oh that's right. No one. Having Jedi in this game is retarded.
Oh and one more thing. PCs shouldn't be able to tell what someone's faction is when they are on leave. That would settle this issue over faction hunting. I don't have an Elephant tatooed to my forehead in real life ......

I personally am strongly against same faction hunting. I feel its akin to the "BrutusvCaesar" syndrome. If you want to hunt all Jedi, why not just go neutral?
Can you picture Luke or any Rebel Jedi in a movie hunting other Rebel Jedi if they were still loyal to the cause?

Indeed they did make the choice to becomeJedi and i have no sympathy for them either, kinda sounds like a contradiction in terms. What i mean to say is that i made a choice not too because i know what its like to loose alot of hard work, but manly because theirreally isnt any benifite in it for me i can make much better money doingother things.
tatum,
Point taken. I don't Jedi hunt very often either, I'm just tired of their whining and throwing the nerf-bat at MBHs.

But what does their "hard work" give players like us beyond a ruined open PvP combat system and a game storyline not canonical with that of the movies? We are playing a game that is a direct contradiction to the Star Wars Universe.

They wouldnt have to if the rebel jedi was wandering around theed city centre with his ls out.
A BH is not a noble idealistic hero, hes a mercenary he might not like the empire and thus be rebel, and lets face it some of these rebel jedi aint exactly models of Rebel piousness, I think if jedi in game acted like jedi in the films there would be a lot less same faction hunting and a lot less bounty hunters.
The Bounty hunters justification, "If I'm on your doorstep, chances are you did something to bring me there"

As are we all best thing to do is ignore it and get on with having fun. Every one needs to vent in one way or another some ppl send abusive tells others complain on the forums that this is unfair that is unfair (hell i think that getting mando is insanely reward vs effort unbalanced) but i try to do other things like help people out with stuff and post constructive advice form time to time cause its far more rewarding when some one say's thanks for the heal man or that post on group exp grinding was awsome it really helped then a no reply from a dev or a flamed post about something you were flaming about (vicouse cycle) or having something nefd now we all remember the great scare of publish 23!
Same faction hunting is fair and could apply because perhaps you work for a higher government level in which a rebel needs to be assassinated. Kind of like a black op where the government kills its own...it happens =)
To the poster. PERSONALLY though...if the jedi si CL 53..he really presents NO challenge to you. I would have waited for him to heal and then attack, just to give him a fighting chance...which wouldn't be much of one anyway. But at least he would feel better. But if he was a full temped CL80..then i could understand gankin him hahah =)
Thats the only thing I would have done differently..
