A lot of the answers would be, "I have always wanted to play as a Jedi, it has been my dream since this game came out!" And my answer to that is BS. If you wanted to play as a Jedi with all of the powers of a Jedi, then maybe you should stick to KOTOR and KOTOR2.
well, i didn't really care about being a jedi when i first got it, i was happy with Mswords/Mpike/Mbralwer/2040 Medic with my nice 800 max PH and 1k max LVA and mind fire peripherals, but when the CU made it so accessible, i went to jedi, i had a large supply of premiums sitting in my house, so i cracked em open and made a saber on par with most pre-cu.
now that i have it, i enjoy the utility of FR1, the freedom from buying armor, a melee class with a root and a snare, a 35 meter KD with a good damage mod, and an armorbreak that i don't have to dabble in swordsman for.
my alt was Mpike/Mdoc/0030 Swords and i had the 60 meter poisonspike. i could be just as happy playing that as my jedi, but it was nerfed 
now my alt is Mpike/Mdoc/0030 Artisan
I can still have some fun playing him, but now that time has passed, there's a new draw to jedi that there wasn't before.
when i was grinding him and for some time after it was just like kotor or jedi knight for me, playing my jedi.
BUT, unlike kotor and JK, SWG allows me to play a jedi in a DYNAMIC environment. I can play kotor a max of twice. when i was playing kotor, i didn't play SWG, but then i played it on light, i played it on dark, then it was back to SWG. It was back to SWG because it was always a little different each time i played, unlike any of the other jedi games.
So. People like jedi. People like Games. People like Games with Jedi, but every other game with jedi has a finite amount of times you can play. SWG allows for unlimited difference in what you do and achieveeach session with your jedi.
So thats why i play it anyway. I had the utility i wanted on my previous alt temp, but it was nerfed, now i can enjoy most of the same utility and even more on my jedi. and unlike kotor and JK games, SWG is different each time.

...look at all the Jedi coming out of the woodwork.
I think this is a problem also, sometimes I spend upwards of an hour just tracking back and fourth.
I dont care what these Jedi are doing, if they are afk in buildings or whatever. I'd just like to see better filtering. 30 mins in a private structure or instance will remove you from the Terminals, once you step out you're back on the terminals. That right there will save a lot of time and headache.

You could just post your whine in one of the dozen other moronic posts on this subject. A jedi mission is supposed to take up to 3 days...just because when you got to your waypoint the Jedi wasnt standing out in open waiting for you to attack does not mean there is a problem. If you cant handle "hunting" your mark stick to NPC missions.

Okay Sony,
I consider myself to be a very a patient Bounty Hunter however the percentage of engageable Bounty Hunter missions is simply becoming a ridiculous small percentage of missions pulled. Once again tonight, I pulled 25 missions and was only able to reach one of my marks.
8missions on Kash
8missions in Endor DWB
3 missions in space
6 missions camped in a structure
1 mission I was able to actually engage
This is about 2-3 hours of work just to get the "opportunity" to attack one Jedi. This has been happening nearly every night. Bounty Hunting seems like grinding now just to get a mark you can attack. Unless you are into pve, there is really no reason to be a Bounty Hunter any longer. Noone wants to spend 3 hours a session just looking for one Jedi they can engage; thank God that Jedi didn't cloak! Then it would have been zero for the evening. Please give us a better opportunity to find our targets. With the upcoming expansion, Bounty Hunting will only get worse.

i love this game, yes there are bugs to be fixed.... but i think that if we lose xp when we are killed by a bh, then when a jedi kills a bh they should lose the right to hunt jedi... maybe lose all the boxes in the investigation tree... maybe we need a jedi termial to hunt the bh...heeheheeheehheheh
''don't under estimate the power of the darkside"
man all this chatting is making me hungry, need a big mac and jedi sized fries.

Hehe... maybe most ofthe Jedi are finally realizing their place in this game. SOE is putting them in their places with all of these nerfs and rightfully so. Because of the vast number of Jedi in the game, their power is being slowly and gradually reduced to being that of a normal double elite profession now.
Thats fine im not happy about us getting dumbed down abit as long a player with great skills can always skill come out on top. Jedis are the alpha class and as such if you have skills you should always win. SOE keeps it that way im happy.
It's funny... all of those "uber" kids flocked to the alpha profession in order to finally win a fight because they couldn't handle it as a normal profession and now thier alpha profession is becoming a normal profession. The irony is hilarious. Jedi are so afraid that the BH is going to get something that might diversify the types of templates in this game, i.e. Ranger, that they are on the Ranger boards crying about stuff like pre-requisites.
True i know there areSOME "uber" kids that flocked to jedi to be "uber" but the truth is just cuz you have a flashlight now doesnt mean your "uber" you still need skills as does any temp/prof. as a melee fighter (TKM/M-fencer/1444pistoleeronly for def mods pre CU) i managed to hitup 1658PvP score pre-cu the only ones with pvp score higer than that were Jedis or Dot whores AKA pikeman or CM.
I think it's hilarious that Jedi threaten to quit every time something happens to their profession and yet they are still there playing their "broken" profession. Instead, they choose to cry for the next 6 months about how it isn't fair that they aren't as powerful as another profession, i.e. doctors with their healing.
I ask you to please go ahead look at all my posts. see how very few IF any at all are made about me crying about anything. I just learn to Adapt and overcome as we all should.
Let me ask.... why do people who play Jedi, play Jedi? Is it because they are the alpha profession? Is it because you sucked at PvE or PvP to begin with? A lot of the answers would be, "I have always wanted to play as a Jedi, it has been my dream since this game came out!" And my answer to that is BS. If you wanted to play as a Jedi with all of the powers of a Jedi, then maybe you should stick to KOTOR and KOTOR2.
I choose to play jedi simply cuz to me it seemed like the next step for me. as i said above i had already reached a 1658 PvP score and pretty much had all the great gear i wanted, so i said hell why not? just another thing to be good at. guess what im working on now? Pilot, why? well just seems like the next step and im going to try to be as good as a pilot as i can become.
Jedi run because they are afraid to fight. They know that they have a high probability of losing. They would rather run then stand up for themselves. They know how to stay off the terminals, yet cry when BH come for them. Let them all run and hide and be scared little children. In the end, we will have more fun in the GCW and other content with less of them around.
please dont put all those jedis that cry,whine,run,hate,spit, and just make this game less fun to play in with players that just play this game to have fun like me.

i sapose it helps me as a bh that i am an extremely paitent person. i dont mind waiting 3-4 days for my mark to show themselves. as for sitting in a house or in space part of the game. ive had some really nice jedi actua;;y come out and fight. others just sit there. so what do i do?? drop the bounty and pickl another one. and useually i can fight with the next.
although i am a jedi in training (stupid village
) im enjoying my time as a bh. there would be things id like to see changed... well more fixed then changed. manly the bugs that keep happening. if they fixed those i believe that the fighting would be alot more fun.
but to sit there and say i pay for the game as well and im gona sit in my house to show bounty hunters whose who, which it doesnt, is just dumb. as previously stated me and other bh's i know just go and grab another mission. so for those bh's who whine about house sitting jedi i leave you with a nugget of wisdom...
Grab Another Mission. simple.

It's not supposed to take 3 days. That's there to prevent griefing so you dont follow your target indefinately.
If it worked like how you said they wouldnt have removed the "offline" Jedi from terminals, now they just need to go back and recheck it so that afk/housesitter are removed from terminals also.
