Eutock you're wrong that Kashyyyk will not become the jedi planet for one ultimate reason.
Jedi will die if they try AFK grinding on other planets 100%. It'd take them longer to get on the terminals, but they would.
Kashyyyk however, means they can (they already do for heavens sake) go afk and where on a normal planet they would all die for grinding AFK, only about 5% of them do (due to extremely dedicated hunters).
Those are odds Jedi will take.
Perhaps you are right. It's just that in nearly 200 Jedi kills and probably 4-5 times that on investigating targets, I never saw a "true" AFK grinder, i.e. one that was macroed to kill for XP. Even on Kashyyyk all my targets were live. Oh well...
I have killed 3 AFK grinders- for cyring out loud they were laying in the same spot for like 30 min after i killed them.

"I think it's an excellent idea. The RP possibilities are numerous. For instance, now a jedi can truly *hide*, except for around his most trusted friends. Walk around in public without lightsaber equipped, robe put away, wearing regular clothing, he's hiding among us."
You are partially right with that remark, the jedi will be hiding among us in plain sight /duel every MBH that he sees in his /examin window. Once he (jedi) finds his mark (MBH) the jedi will have the upperhand, meanwhile the MBH is still running around trying toengage incombat with everyone trying to find his mark. The jedi will set up all his food, macros and be aware of his surroundings waiting for the MBH to aquirehim (jedi)and then the jedi will open up on the MBH and tear him apart.
The hunter becomes the hunted in the blink of an eye.
This will single-handedly tip the scales in favor of the jedi when it comes to the first strike capabilities of BH's
The devs said that the jedi may be 1.5x's more powerful than the BH but the BH has the ability to choose where and when to fight because they have the element of suprise and first strike capability. Well those days areover.
And this is a problem now. I went to the ryaat trails the other day and had to burst run away form some spiders. All ofa sudden i get a tell, "Dont kill me im rebel" from my mark. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS THERE YET! O.o
Here is a perfect example as to why 1vs1 Jedi missions are a bad idea. As you can see the Jedi I was fighting is doing twice the amount of damage as I am to him with a lightsaber. Apparently saber throw knocks you down too. I went into this fight with buffs, and quite possibly one of the best pistols I've ever seen, and good armor. The red is him hitting me and the green is me hitting him. Group Bounty hunting is only a small part of the picture, this basically makes it so you have to be a Jedi or you can't compete.

Oh and removing names is BS. Its bad enough how powerful the jedi are...now we have a freaking lottery. If this happens SOE can choke on the rest of my account. With people hangin out in houses for hours, exploits and every other dang thing we have to deal with...now this. Its fukking sad.
Well Im going to be playing lottery with my friends and guild members now.... Got several Jedi friends I dont want to hunt that also have high vis. I know I will end up getting a few of them as marks with this new system so I plan on wasting between 30min - 1 hour wasted on several marks that turn out to be friends. 100% anonymity bites! Look at my sig for 4 viable alternatives! We kill the grief hunting and also still get the name! If SOE cant make one of these changes then they are truly Lords Amongst Idiots!
Good changes.
I thought online status was going to be added as well, though. That'd save a lot of time and Arakyds.

You are FORCED to hunt Jedi one on one now. Not good imho because once Jedi get past the 140k mission mark they become IMPOSSABLE to take down solo. Unless Jedi are getting a major major nerf this is BAD news for us BH's.

Hahaha.So not true.
Must be a respec... I wont take anything under 150k anymore. Even at 150-175k they can be incredibly easy. I took a 170k yesterday that I took down in two shots(1st incap). Since Im rifles I had to triple incap cuz I couldnt close the distance though. That was with my trusty T21. I just got a Lightning Rifle! Cant wait to see the element dmg on this baby!
