Thread: WE WANT PLAYER BOUNTIES!!!!!
Y'know... player bounties don't have to end in a /deathblow.
Some could be setup to collect payoffs for offended NPC's, or recover property from deadbeat smugglers. Have a "crackdown" style window popup for bribe-paying (the BH doesn't get the cash... he gets paid by the NPC for his help as an "enforcer"). Failure to make an approprate "offering" would generate a TEF-lite that expireson the first incap.
In fact, it could work exactly as a player-run "crackdown" scenario. The marks would be nameless and random, and perhaps tied to negative faction totals. (hit -5000 Jabba faction and see if the slug doesn't send some boys to shake you down...)
only problem, after thinking about it, is the payoffs would have to be fairly small, because the penalties would be fairly light.

It's no suprise a bounty hunter versus a fully templated jedi is not fair. And it shouldn't be, jedis are powa rangas! But...they need something that IS fair, to keep us bounty hunters entertained while still participating in PvP. Bounty hunters go through a pain in the ass grind(or used to, i respeced my MBH, like a real pimp :-p)to be able to hunt jedis...."w00t! now i can get my ass whooped by fully templated jedis! /dance"Yes, against jedis who arent templated, we stand a better chance, but I don't know about your servers, but on Valcyn, the few jedis who aren't fully temped, are on Kasshyyk.
I would love to be hunted. Crazy as it may sound throw in the XP loss with it, as long as the rules are clear and I don't get on the terms for having my Master Smuggler tag up or jaywaking let's do it.

well two simple solutions to aviod griefing.
1. no bounties can be placed on non combat professions or under lvl 80 combat levels.
2. no names, alike to jedi, untill seeker.
Well instead of fail what about dropped.
but then the ammout that get kash' missions would probably be alittle upset.
Infact so would I.

[DENIED] And heres why, if you can kill 20 NPCs inside of a city, you should be able to fight off a BH. However, a lvl 80 BH should not be able to hunt low CL marks and low level BHs shouldn't be able to hunt high CL marks. Higher CL targets would be a higher mission difficulty aswell as a better payout. Lower CL marks would be worth less money but only available to lower level BHs.

oh okay yeah I agree with you rcomment to 1 myself.
Lower level BH on lower level players. Sounds good.

Why hunt other professions why not just let bounty hunters hunt other bounty hunters that fail thier jedi missions... Gives more content to bounty hunters and provides the penalty for loosing to jedi....
Bh hunting BH is against the Rules in the BH code. However! It would be something different.
