Because dude....
The average joe doesn't want to be set back 4-6 hours so he can be your content.
We all love Star Wars. For many people the end all in Star Wars (or the end game in SWG) is
becoming a Jedi. Having a Forced PvP system as the "only" way to experience the end game is
a flawed approach.

From Tiggs FAQ:
Can anyone become a Jedi?
Yes, anyone can follow the path of the Jedi but like all professions mastery will require time and experience. The new Jedi profession will be equal in combat effectiveness with the other professions.
Will Bounty Hunter missions and other missions still be located on my datapad?
Yes, you will still see mission terminal quests on your datapad. However, there will no longer be Bounty Hunter missions that target other players, they are only NPC based going forward, and these will appear in your Quest Journal.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. I knew that as Jedi got nerfed more and more the player bounties had the danger of going away!!!.Three more weeks of Jedi hunting left, I guess. Head for the terminals folks!!!
It will be interesting to see if the game will be more fun, focus groups have been known to be wrong before.
Well to be honest man, Jedi were just the back-drop to a larger picture. They got want they wanted so they can have it
However, I see no reason why we should lose what we love and play this game for: Player Bounties
There are numerous "opt-in"proposals out there now and many don't even mention Jedi
WesBelden's Smuggler community has been asking for an "opt-in" for months. I think this is the perfect time to support it
They got what they wanted??
YOU ARE WRONG!!
Hell, I love Bounty Hunters, I wish They woudl give Jedi an option so u can enable a "PVP/BH optiong", so u could be hunted.. There is noting Like U getting atacked by Bounty Hunters, Its just fun, XP loss had to go, But the Player Bounties should stay..

No offense Tanks but you had to expect, with all the bitching and exploiting on both sides, it was only a matter of time. Every other MMORPG that has tried forced PVP has eventually removed it from the game. No different here.
Well, I knbow Diablo II is not really a MMORPG as you are limited to 8 toons per game, but it works there.
WoW has 4 MILLION subscribers world wide now. And yes, if you want to advance past level 20+ you will have some sort of forced PvP even on the non-PvP servers as past that level you have to take quests on the "other" side's lands and will have TEF on occasion.

I love WoW PvP...
ganking....counter ganking.
beautiful just beautiful.
THIS IS A SAD DAY, main reason i play is to hunt live bounties and if you see a BH that supports such a tragedy, he/she is no BH nor could they ever comprehendwhat a trueBH is.
Over 1000 kills....
game over
This was posted on the usenet SWG boards. hehe, if I read this last week i would haveflamed this guy for trolling....looks as tho Lucas Arts is looking at the Jedi as the selling point to this game. by allowing one to become one as a starting profession...
Read a forum post on the main SWG site. This information might interest
anyone who hasen't been there.
/enjoy
Members of the Jedi Community and all SWG players.
I know this post may get flamed, but it is only expected. There have
been many rumors around the forums, but my source is a bit more than a
rumor. I have been a member of the Jedi Community for a long while, and
a member of SWG since the beginning. What I am about to disclose to you
is top secret SOE stuff so to speak.
I have a friend whose uncle is a SOE employee. (I would give his name
here, but I was advised not to because I do not wish to jepordize that
individuals job. Anyways, I told my friend to ask his Uncle "What is
going on with jedi recently, and why all the nerfing and changes?" He
did, indeed ask him, and the response was shocking. I cancelled my
account immediately after hearing this. I am not advising you to do
this, but since the SWG Community Relations, and Devs will not answer
all of these issues, I felt obligated to inform the community of my
disturbing findings.
Here we go........
1.- Jedi are being phased into a regular profession, that will be
selectable from the beginning of the game. This is the reason so many
nerfs appear to be hitting jedi recently. They are attempting to slowly
transition jedi into a normal class. They have not and will not inform
the community about this, because it will enrage the vets. But they are
hoping to keep everyone quiet while they work on this. They are also
counting on the fact that more and more players will be influenced to
buy the game, if jedi are immediately selectable. The bottom line is
their numbers show that more players have quit the game because they
were lazy and didnt want to work for jedi, as opposed to players who
complain about jedi, but will not quit. They are hoping that
subscription rates will soar if Jedi are immediately selectable,
because jedi is the reason most players buy this game. This is also the
reason why pearls/ FRS have been removed, so that vets will slowly
become accustomed to being converted, and hopefully stay with the game.
2.- All melee classes are being removed. The bottom line is that SOE
feels that melee professions do not appear in the movies, and they will
remove them from the game. The current status of Ranged professions
being dominate is all in their grand scheme of things. They are hoping
that most melee players will switch their templates to Ranged now, so
that when they eliminate all melee, there wont be enough of them left
to cause an uproar. Therfore everyone in game will be A.- A jedi B.-
Ranged C.- Crafter, Entertainer, or other. All remaining melee players
will be given a respec period.
3.- All grinding is going to be removed. All leveling will soon be
quest based and not grinding. Example: You will need to run to a
trainer, get missions from him, he will teach you a skill box, back to
step one. They are hoping that this will keep the playerbase more
nethralled with the game, and get the quest based system they have
always wanted.
Now the reason this may all seem far fetched to you, is because so many
people on these forums cry wolf, and start rumors. but I assure you,
this is the reason we dont get the responses we are looking for. Alot
of people complained about the CU, but once they played it, they became
adjusted and despite their complaints they still stayed subscribed. If
they announced all this now, it would cause mass mahem and anger, so
they will keep it quiet until it goes live, and then we are stuck with
a "Like it or leave it" option. And the bottom line is (it has been
proven) we will still play it.
Also, cancelled jedi accounts are a given in this, but look at it from
the outside, ALOT of new players will also spawn out of this mess,
because jedi will be made readily available to them.
I did not get any info on the Jedi vs. BH situation, or other important
issues, but they did make it clear that there will be no more alpha
classes in this game. Also do not shoot the OP, or myself. He is a
messenger for me (since my account was banned) and I am a messenger
from another, and I simply feel obligated to inform you all.
So if you flame me, that is fine. I am not a troll nor a rumor starter,
and it is your choice alone on what you want to believe. I am simply
warning you all that this will come to pass.

Yeah, but changing the TEF, removing the skill requirements and kicking Jedi out of their house so BH could kill them with one shot and no sweat was the highest priority back then, wasnt it?
See who nerfs who?
Hey. Be fair. I remember not TOO long ago, when SonG quit as Jedi Corr, Tanks took a hell of a lot of grief from BH's because he was trying to improve life for Jedi. He knew, and said it quite clearly, if Jedi keep getting the shaft blunt side in, bounty hunters would suffer.
BH's didn't listen though, and called for Tanks' removal and griped and moaned about the whole thing.
