Recently on the In Concept Forums we Smugglers learned that we should be getting our Revamp soon,but saddly the biggest threat we will have to face for failed missions will be a NPC Bounty Hunter.Now just to let YOU the Bounty Hunter community know,that we Smugglers think this is complete garbage,and we ALL want to have a Player Bounty Hunter on our a$$ when missions go sour ect ect.The reason we are pulling for a Player Bounty Hunter over a Npc BHis very simple,and i will list my own thoughts on this below...
1.NPC's are stupid and theres ways to lose them and exploit to escape.
2.It would give you all something to chase besides Jedi and add content to your profession which is a good thing.
3.Players are Unpredictible, and having that Unpredictibility in the form of a BH on the Smugglers tail would be alot of Fun!
My obvious reason for posting this on your Forums guys is very Simple,we want you all to get as many Hunters as you can on these forums to get behind us and Support the Smugglers Community in getting ((Player)) Bounty Hunters in the picture.We belive that leaving you all out and throwing in a NPC BH is complete and total Garbage and it has to change...Please leave your feedback on this matter below and let yourself be heard!!!
Woot! I really hope they let players hunt smugglers instead of NPCs! Alot of Jedi players tend to be whining power-gamers (and I said alot, not all!) and sometimes hunting them can get a lil boring, especially having to deal with all the crap after, or them hiding in house and then throwing insults at u from safety.... Smugglers seem to have alot in common with us BHs, both part of the underworld of the SW universe and I'm sure most would enjoy evading us as much as we'd enjoy hunting them. Also I'd like to come up against someone who's carrying a blaster rather than a lightsabre ll the damn time.

They are considering not using Player BH's because of all the flames and garbage that has occurred with the Jedi/BH thing and the continued whining and flaming makes it even more lean toward keeping NPC's. People say they want it now but after it starts the flames will also begin.

Ok but what happenes if you love ebing a smuggler but hate PvP? You shouldn't be forced to PvP and as much as I can understand the attraction for others I don't and will not PvP if I can help it...

I think you'll find that everyone is ok with smugglers not getting forced into PvP. It has only been suggested that in addition to the revamp that smugglers are about to get it should be possible for smugglers to choose missions that have a risk of PvP via the bh's. It would be a cool option

As a smuggler, I do love the idea of player bounties on us. But it has to be risk vs reward. I'm a firm believer that PvP should always be optional. I can sneak medical supplies to the rebellion for some pocket change... or I can run with the big dogs and take my licks if I screw up.
There should be a clear warning on smuggler missions that *may* involve a player BH. And these should have much higher rewards. As well, they should be given to bh's based on *shudder* the new level system. That way a m.smuggler/m.merchant isn't blown away by a double combat mastery prof.
I believe it should be optional because I'd like to still play a smuggler, and some days I just really don't feel like getting a dozen hate tells questioning my sexual orientation and relationship with my mother. Anybody who pvp's know this happens. There are good players who enjoy the hunt and testing themselves out and are honorable. And there are also a lot of wankers. We're not jedi. We're not uber. This is not a 'price' for being special. Don't force it and smugglers will still take it up.
That all said, I think there should be 2 different BH missions on us:
1) We fail a mission and piss someone off. You get 1/3rd our payout if you kill us.
2) Competing missions. You're contracted to stop me from finishing mine. Equal pay.
Either way, I say both our communities should continue to lobby for this.
i never knew we could say piss or wankers.............

I bought this game to hunt players who had bounties on em.
Jedi are too chicken and tend to run and or hide.
I think smugglers might actually stick around and fight, so I'm all for it.

love the idea. and ill /sign for it but id still want BH npcs instead of Player BH's at 1st, then when they fixxed the system and everything slowly introduce player Bh's, this way smugglers will get a "feel" of being hunted to a extent, other wise you may take 1 mission and get hit by a PC/BH and feel that youve jumped into the deep end and may not like it.
but still seeing its here /sign
why?
jedi didnt get that
i'll tell ya why in a few ways, there are indeed a few answers.
smugglers are not going to be 1.5x more powerful than everyone else...
smuglers don't have saberblock...
smugglers generally piss off criminals, jedi piss off the emperor, who's gonna get the hammer falling harder?...
smugglers are cool...

wOw that would be awesome and a great new challenge man i am praying they implement this. I think that any player with two master proffesions should be huntable and that we shouldbe able to offer our own rewards for any RL players bounty. Its kind of boring having a lotof jedi Force running off and i cant see a smuggler/normal toon doing that so yeah im all for it

I agree, this would be cool. It's not like they fear their life the second they log in, they can play normally except when they take the special smuggler missions. I bet there is a hell of a lot less who come on the forums, moan like little girls and sit in their houses for 8 hours afk as well.
