I also run (More like walk) away from anyone who cloaks repeatedly as you get them low on mind/force. No reason to keep that fight up.

Please, jedi stand to lose half an hour on Kashyyyk.
Haven't been on Kashyyyk in a while, have you?
Sure have.
last time I checked, there were no jedi groups in kash, grinding , because the wooks have now a 20k ham. so its not an effective place to grind anymore.

I have had dozons of BH come for me so far and I usually don't wear my Jedi Knight title, but sometimes when I did a BH would not even bother attacking me but the ONLY type of BH that does attack are the combat medics which don't last very long against me.

If your on eclipseI will. Here's what annoys me. I started keeping a list of BH who I kill or who best me in battle in my BIO..so far out of 15 BH who have come for me since i started this list only one would fight me..Ry'hno from Wykid on Eclipse..Good Fight mate. The Rest fight me for a few minutes then run. 1 in 15 who CAME for me has had the courage to finish what he started. So I have to add a BH's who turned tail and ran section in my BIO now.=/
I spent millions of credits acquiring the best weapons and armor and they are not all ADK'd yet. If things are not going my way and I have the opportunity to escape and regroup I will do it. Why let your items decay just to go down in a blaze of glory. I would rather back out, review the logs, then come back again with another strategy.
I don't take a mark for a one time PvP matchup. I take a mark to kill them. Whether it be on the first attack or 5th, I take the steps necessary to finish the job.

errm this topic is about why do BOUNTY HUNTERS run not why Jedi run, weve heard the Jedi run thing lots of times, this topic is about BOUNTY HUNTERS running.
Simple....
-Ranged BH took a couple snipes and realized he is dealing with aFOTMMaster Defender template. Thus if he engages it will most likely be a battle of wearing out his force which may take upwards of a hour or more. /yawn
-BH realizes he has no food/drink buffs out of his crate.
-BH realizes he has go take a real life crap.

Yep. I used to just cancel the mission and take off when Jedi used to run in and out of their house to regen force...

I don't run away, i run around tryng to avoid the jedi but i never run away. Its a fight to the cloner for me every time lol. Though in the past few weeks i have had all my jedi run from low level to full temps. The fight will start and i get massive damage and so does the jedi but once they see me heal to full health cuz of my CM4000 in my temp they ALWAYS cloak and run. I can say ALWAYS cuz ALL the jedi i've gone up against in the past two weeks have done this and yes I mean ALL. not one had stood his ground, which is his perogative, I don't care if he runs, i count it as a victory for me.

Why run? Cos the one who's running knows he can't win, and therefore cuts his losses.
Go read Sun Tzu's Art of War or any other self-help book and you will know it is better to cut your losses than continue losing. Because those dumb enough to not run, are filled with ego and pride that they lose out on intelligence. Uhave not enough wisdom and maturity to know that it is better to take a beating than end up cloning.
In Ep2, Jango Fett kited and tried to flee when Obi-wan engaged him on Kamino. He fled and turned the tables on the jedi in the asteroid field, and if it wasn't for the Obi-wan's Jedi Starfighter's countermeasures, Obi-wan would have lost his life. Even the Emperor tried to run away from Yoda in Ep3.
Both smart Jedi and BH know when to run away from a battle. Smart BH knows he cant face up to the alpha-class while he is at his best. Going 1 on 1 with full temp for the sake of a mission is stupid. Young padawans gottaget their head checkedto stand and face a ready BH. It applies in game mechanics, and even in life.
Smart people know he who runs away can always come back to fight another day.
Im sure yall"fight to the death" peeps arethe kind of players that lose all your money when playin poker. I wish there were more fools like u gung-ho guyson my poker nites.

I can't imagine a spot on Kashyyykwhere I'd get 450k jedi xp in half an hour. Not on the previously favorite Rryatt trail since the devs fixed that. (Thank the maker for that, that was just insane)
