Gamebreaking how? You have all the advantages, in your favor at the moment, 1/5 the time if not less to *attain* the profession mastery, (because you were a BH for 2 years doesnt mean anything, it just means you were a BH for 2 years), you choose when where how to fight, and can wow bring friends! (try using some creative coordination, when finding people who also have same jedi, hell you guys post enough info about instances), you also get this, earn money from killing us, yes thats right make a gain for an hour or so of searching, us on the other hand lose *hours if not more* of work in the same hour it took you to find us. This also adds to the idea that Bounty hunters are nuetral mercenaries for hire, no selective hutning, if you spend the time to track somone down find out they are a friend oops your loss, your judgment call.
Once finding said jedi, most Bounty Hunters(not some good ones out there) then proceed to either lose or win, usually win, upon losing proceed to send hate tells.. yay fun like i need that for defending myself, (yes some jedi b*tch aswell about being killed).
I like that fact you cannot be choosy about who and what your hunting, we sure as hell cant pick who is after us, so adds some *wow get this* risk to you! in the chance you get a knight.
Please people try not to equate months of playing a profession to months or working to attain it. Its not the same, you have all the tools you need fairly soon, barring weapons, special items that may take time. We however need to start off as a worm..having 1/10 of what we will have at full template having to deal with you people. Give me a break, and solo is pretty much a dead issue.
First of all you may havea point that bounty hunters are supposed to be neutral mercenaries but any good mercenary would not take a mission that he considered was a waste of his time such as pulling a mission on a 45k jedi which may in alot of situations take longer to complete than 175k that just doesnt make sense.
As for the risk part this hurts all bounty hunters its not so much a risk but take for example grinding bounty hunters who are not done with there templates so obviously they wouldnt want to pull a mission on afinished templatejedi bc they are only trying to have a bit of fun and practice fighting some jedi before they either finish there template or before they have the necessary pvp skills to kill afinished templatejedi because i think that we can all agree that there is definately a hell of a learning curve when it comes to pvp. Now for the other end of the spectrum the experienced bounty hunter who hunts finished template jedi on a regular basis in all honesty if someone like this were to pull a mission on a low level paddy it would nothing more than a waste of his time because why would a hardened veteren be forced to take the lowest of missions against the weakest of opponents that makes absolutely no sense.
Now for the one thing I haven't touched on yet jedi are supposed to be 1.5 times more powerful than any other character whether or not they are is another discussion but yes imo they should be and obviously some jedi no matter how powerful they are will not be better than some bounty hunters and vice versa since player skill does come into account during pvp. So lets say if jedi characters were 1.5 times more powerful than any other character how can anyone ever justify only allowing one bounty hunter versus one jedi this makes no sense if a jedi is more powerful than any other class there is no point inplayer bounties if the devs are going to say "barring individual player skills jedi are designed as such that no one player should be able to kill them so in turn only one bounty hunter will be able to hunt a jedi at a time thus giving the jedi an I win button against bounty hunters who have there missions" this would be ridiculous jedi imo have it easier than they should right now why make it any easier on them. Even now it is becoming increasing worthless to play any character other than a jedi why would i play one character (any class in the game besides jedi) whenever i can play an alpha class character (jedi) without having to work that much harder. Every new patch and every step the devs take to make jedi more and more attainable is killing swg and it is only a matter of time unless something changes before the game dies completely because of the devs refusal to lose some subscriptions in order to save the game.

here is a suggestion...
since one of the biggest complaints seems to be how many ppl are allowed to face a jedi, why don't they institute a graduated system where the size of the group that face a jedi are based on the jedi's level?
don't know if that is even feasible...just a thought i had
That defeats the purpose of doing this. The point is that they want Jedi vs. BH encounters to be 1 on 1. No gank squads. Nothing but the two going at it. They wouldn't even consider doing this if there wasn't such a rash of gank squads running around.
The true solution is to lockdown BH vs. Jedi encounters. Oncea BH attacks a Jedi, then no one else can attack the Jedi, nor can the Jedi attack anything else, until one of them is dead. But they will not do this because it's too difficult to code, and they'd have to rewrite a few other rule sets governing combat -- when it starts, when it ends, etc. Thus the simplest thing for them to do is remove names from the terms
All this because of the grief squads of no-skill-having bounty hunters who could not kill a Jedi one on one.
