Seriously, if your droid scan reveals that the Jedi is on Kashyyyk, then don't go. It's that simple. Move on to another mission, it's not like you won't be able to find a mark with similar pay on another planet. For those of you who say Jedi are grinding out there, you're wrong. The zones like Myyydril Caves and the Trails are not productive grinding zones, the level 80 creatures in these zones are two to three times as tough as level 80 creatures on a regular planet. If you are under the impression Jedi are out there raking in the XP and jumping for joy, you're wrong.
Thanks
First, you say that I can find a mark with similar pay on another planet. True...for now. How long will it be until I can't?
Second, you say the zones aren't productive. That's funny, because I spoke to several Jedi there and asked them specifically if it was really all that, and they said it most definitely was. It's not that the Jedi are raking in XP any faster per kill, it's that they stand a far smaller chance of being killed. And why is that? Because we have lost the use of skillmods and abilities that we earned just like anyone else, skillmods and abilities that allow us to use droids to track and find our marks.
Finally, as for your claim about the creatures being tougher, I'm not sure what you are talking about. The creatures these guys face down in the caves and on the trail are just as tough as every other creature of the same level I've run into. Heck, even when they do kill you, you get no wounds or BF when you clone. And they don't poison you either, unlike some high level creatures. Why don't you go back to being retired and let the people who are actuallyl playing the profession talk about what affects us fairly and what doesn't, ok Susie?
Hey Lemi, good to see another Wanderhomie 
Go easy on this guy, NeXuS is a cool guild, been BH'ing about as long as I have. I saw one of their guys on Kashyyyk, obviously looking for a mark as I was. I know that because he loaded numerous timesprobably checking instances in the caverns - as I happened to be doing at the same time. I don't know how his hunt ended - I never talked to him. But I did find my mark - and in the Trails. Go figure, I checked the Hunting Grounds and the Caverns before I even visited the Trails...
In any case, it isn't fun for someone who is so serious about hunting to have to give up a mission because it is borked beyond our control.It isn't fun either to go looking for hours on Kashyyyk. Okay, well it was fun for meone time, but only because I had never done that big of ahunt and still found and eliminated my mark before. If I were to do it again, it would be boring, because like NPC missions, it gets repetitive. In fact, I dare say I don't care to see the Caverns or the Trail ever again - because the instances in themselves are repetitive.
If they are to change nothing else, my recommendation is to make bounty missions on Kashyyyk have higher payout. It could even be in the form of a bonues instead of the actual mission payout, if that makes itsimpler. It is a difficult job, and deservesdecent pay.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

So basically you want to go to kash, see what jedi are there then run back to the starport and pick up their mission? Way to take out the hunter in bounty HUNTER. Instead of calling it an issue or a problem wake up and realize that this is how it is and the feedback has been POSITIVE. With the PR that SOE has now they need all the positive feedback they can get. If you can't be bothered to pick up a mission on a normle planet, talk to your informant, and go check a few instances then you're not much of a HUNTER, what you're asking for is basically making bounty hunter into bounty gatherer.
Sweet Christmas, man! WE ARE HUNTERS! Using droids is how the game is supposed to work. We havea whole line of skills in our profession that is almost solely devoted to allowing us to use droids to track. Nowere in there do we get skills like "Wander Around On Kashyyk For HOURS +20" because we aren't supposed to have to hunt that way. The fact that they don't work is what keeps us from being hunters. Going to the caves and instances to find the weakest Jedi and then going and grabbing his mission isn't hunting, it's cherry-picking, or as you called it, bounty gathering. It's like going out to my garden, seeing which watermelons are the ripest, and then eating that one. With droids, I actually have to go find the garden first, then hope that the watermelons there are ripe, otherwise I'm left with what I can get.

Nah, better solution would be to have a BH terminal at the feral wookiee camp.
