From Tiggs FAQ:
Can anyone become a Jedi?
Yes, anyone can follow the path of the Jedi but like all professions mastery will require time and experience. The new Jedi profession will be equal in combat effectiveness with the other professions.
Will Bounty Hunter missions and other missions still be located on my datapad?
Yes, you will still see mission terminal quests on your datapad. However, there will no longer be Bounty Hunter missions that target other players, they are only NPC based going forward, and these will appear in your Quest Journal.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. I knew that as Jedi got nerfed more and more the player bounties had the danger of going away!!!.Three more weeks of Jedi hunting left, I guess. Head for the terminals folks!!!
It will be interesting to see if the game will be more fun, focus groups have been known to be wrong before.
Samous the only problem with this is it will lead to -expletive- because someone will misinterpret it or someone will be an 11 year old "pwnzor". UO got this same treatment because of the animosity between the PvP and PvE community. The game was great until you started getting the "uber l337 pwnzors" who enjoyed "a$$r4ping player_name's corpse". Even most PvE'ers dealt with the PvP'ers as most of them were not rude.
The BH / Jedi was fine until that crowd got involved hardcore. Your, and other people's, proposals would work great, until that crowd got involved. Policing it requires too much work, time, and money.
Human behaviour is a great thing isn't it?

Well to be honest man, Jedi were just the back-drop to a larger picture. They got want they wanted so they can have it
However, I see no reason why we should lose what we love and play this game for: Player Bounties
There are numerous "opt-in"proposals out there now and many don't even mention Jedi
WesBelden's Smuggler community has been asking for an "opt-in" for months. I think this is the perfect time to support it

Nerfing the most popular class in the game (which was also the alpha combat class) sealed the deal on this. Jedi didn't get bounties removed. People asking for Jedi nerfs got player bounties removed.
BH's didn't listen though, and called for Tanks' removal and griped and moaned about the whole thing.

No offense Tanks but you had to expect, with all the bitching and exploiting on both sides, it was only a matter of time. Every other MMORPG that has tried forced PVP has eventually removed it from the game. No different here.

I feel bad for all the post cuII jedi who spent their hours grinding away at the computer, only to be given jedi for free!
I feel sorry for the guy who paid 400 bucks for a young jedi because he didn't feel like doing months of village grinding...... NOT

It amazes me that all these jedi don't understand that they are a normal profession now, just like the rest of us. They will be no better. Not uber like they are now.Â
I for one am outta here. There is no way I want to play in this new world.Â
jedi uber.... I was beaten by a swordman/doc in a duel. I wasn't close to beat him. I lost because I emptied on force.
I have beaten many bh, but I have runned from several too. So yeah, I have been overpowered. Only place jedi is more powerful is pve.
This new game they talk about is ruining my feel for star wars all together.
jedi that is what they are in star wars isn't that in swg any more. They have ruined the jedi and continue to do so now that it is a normal prof.
We are losing 32 professions and are gaining 9 classes. I know they call it profs, but in reality it is classes now. This is wow in a space setting!
Every one will be the same. No devesety. This don't feel more star warsy for me.
I can not understand what's going on in the heads of the producers and the devs. They have turned an unique game in to every other mmorg, just that this is in space. Its beyond me.
I think this was the final nail in the coffin for me
I have to concur that the BH community not all but you hada lot of respec'ed BH's that complained anytime they lost. How many posts were on your forums on a daily basis "What is the best Template to hunt Jedi", "What did I do wrong" and all of these people calling for nerfs on Jedi being to strong. Well you got everything taken away from us so we can be equal to what everyone else is. Now to put it on the Jedi community we got exactly what we asked for also, we said if we are going to be equal in strength to every other character then make the grinding the same which it will be and remove player bounties which are no fun when with a group trying to complete a quest and such.
So essentially with all the nerfs called for by the BH community you got exactly what you asked for Jedi is no better than any other profession so you no longer get to or have the job of regulating the population. Long time Vet. Jedi and not sad to see you all go. An above poster listed plenty of games if you want to go grief other players and be rude to them so to some of the nice players if you leave it would be a shame to the others that this was the only game aspect they played for, won't miss you when you are gone.
