Well that was it orginal purpose back when there was perma death and saber tef you hardly ever seen a jedi back in those days and if you did it was whoa *rub eyes* I cant believe it there was so much for them to lose...and talking to them the old ones they always said that what made it fun..that today could be my last day as a jedi these people werent CAREBEARS....then came christmas when the gave everone holocrons and told them how to unlock(biggest mistake EVAR)...so you get an influx of carebears and as Darwin theory proved it self the the good one would make it and the bad ones would be Blue glowie...but that wasnt good enuff for the CAREBEARS..the lied and said i got lag killed or crashed to desktop blah blah MBH exploit me BLAH BLAH...anything to cover up that they really were crappy players and becuase the grinded blah profession it unfair so up in smoke goes perma death and saber tef(second worst mistake) and skill box loss...then soe got tried of people complain I got to grind xxx proffesion blah blah blah and the came the village where every carebear could get a jedi not just the real good and smart players(3rd worst mistake ever)..so then you get all these carebears that PvE only to get there Jedi then complain BLAH BLAH bounty hunter come for me and kill me im negative xp oh my exploit exploit all the while there showing there saber to everone in the cornet starport(there is a reason your on the terms carebear)..no gone are the names and payouts because carebears whined it away they should be handed uberness products of the MTV generation no less....no all that adds up to BH is not pouplation control and soon BH well not be able to hunt effectively...the plain insimple truth is the DEVS play jedi and Jedi is the SOE money maker all other proffesion are what you do before you become jedi....the only jedi I respect are the one that were around durning perma death all the others are just carebears

Wasn't the initial purpose of Bounty Hunters being able to track and eliminate Jedi for XP loss supposed to be a form of Jedi population control?
If I am thinking accurately, from day one this was the idea...Jedi were supposed to be rare, difficult to master, and prestigious, which on most galaxies is not the case...
On Kauri there are only a few Jedi that meet this mold...The rest are immature babies, not to mention the fact that they are multiplying like rabbits.
SOE has always stated that they want to stick close to a storyline/timeline based upon the movies and literature, which I know is difficult, but at this point in the timeline there weren't hundreds if not thousands of Jedi running around with their sabers out dueling each other in front of the Theed starport while Imperial recruiters stand by watching.
I'm not calling for a nerf, but maybe they need to do something to get this under control. What they have mentioned for the next patch effecting bounty hunters is a good step in that direction, in my opinion. However, things need to happen in order to allow us to do our jobs of controlling the Jedi population.
In no way is this a "cry nerf"....I just think that there is a good balance out there between Jedi and the rest of the SWG community, even if it is at the cost of some of the Jedi that feel they are entitled to be immortal and unbeatable.
If you are a full template you should be able to whoop up on most anyone...if you aren't, well then aspire to it, but don't complain if you aren't nearly as powerful as a full template bounty hunter. You chose the path....and it is our duty to make sure there aren't too many of you.
I have killed full template Jedi and I have killed Padawans. I have no preference, but I can say that any full template Jedi can hold their own and it is great to see that most skilled, seasoned Jedi that have put in the time, deaths, and effort are the ones that avidly support the bounty hunting system and the risk that they take when using their skills in public.
It is my experience that most of the Jedi that are complaining and crying for more power, no xp loss, and a free planet are the ones that just want a hand out...an easy way to become fully templated....a simple way to not lose to a bounty hunter.
So, regardless of what happens.....Bounty hunters, let's keep the population under control.
Releying on the statement of bh's being jedi pop control, is like jedi releying on the statement of they will be more powerful then 10 standard profs....These are statements made long ago and have no bearing no, its a new game. Not sure whether its for the better, but its the one we got...

I think you just like to say Carebear. Seven times in one post. You should seek out Carebears anonymous and admit you have a problem. Thats the first step to overcoming it.

Population control has always been a myth conjured up by Bounty Hunters to make them feel important. You can not stop someone from doing anything in this game unless you convince them to not buy it in the first place. Bounty Hunters may have been an inconvience to some and put others in a real hole at times but they have never had the ability to hit the delete button on a character only the person themselves has population control. And with Ebay even then it just shifted to someone else.
