Thread: Legit to kill Jedi, then kill again 2 hours later?
My rule was to never kill the same Jedi on the same day. If you increase that to two days, you should never have a problem I bet.
My issue was that I picked up a mission on him the first time for 223k, tracked him to Kashyyk. He was AFK grinding the wookiees, so I killed him collected the 223k.
2 hours later he was back on the terminals, apparently his AFK macro was spamming his Jedi powers at the cloner up there in front of people, ... so it got him back on the terminals. I needed another 223k credits, so I killed him again. Nothing vindictive or targetted on my part, I just need a few million credits to buy some SEAs, so I'm grinding Jedi missions from the mission terminals.
I don't understand these AFK grinding Jedi. They leave their macros on that keep them logged into the game, and somehow it's my fault that the mission terminals are paying me 223k to kill him?

Please, Maura, do us all a favor and kill every single one of those people you see. If they show up at a cloner, kill 'em again. Tell your friends to kill them. Organize a big ole BH killing train. Any AFK-Macroing Jedi who complains about being killed multiple times needs a new place to put his saber, and I'm not talking about a D-Ring on his belt.
LOL!

It's pretty clear that this will all depend on the attitude of the player you are targetting. Players should bear in mind that in the case of a BH hunting a Jedi player the guy controlling the Jedi toon isn't himself a Jedi, just a person like yourself hoping to enjoy this game. While bounty hunting Jedi is the central aspect of the bounty hunting profession, being hunted by bounty hunters is often simply considered a nuisance by Jedi players and many of them prefer not to engage in this game system. In other words, if you're going to go after the same Jedi time and time again be sure that the Jedi in question isn't going to consider it harrasment. Some Jedi are cool with it and enjoy PvP play. Others just aren't interested or find it stupid.
If you see the Jedi on the terms the first time its fair game. If you see him there again then you're making it personal and you bear the risk of whatever consequences may come from harassing the guy.

this is a bug. for one, once you kill him his payout should reduce to prevent as you say, cash grinding on jedi. what you are doing is exploiting a bug. its not the killing thats the problembut its the pay you receive. in any case i think you should bug it.

It's not a bug. His visibilty reset after I killed him the first time. I did not see his name on the terminals again for 2 hours. He got back on the terminals because his AFK macro was spamming force specials. There were 2 other AFK Jedi (whom I also killed) with him at the cloners. I'm pretty sure if you're left in one spot for 2 hours with 2 other people AFK next to you, and all the player traffic in that time seeing you use those powers, while you spam force specials in a macro, you'll get back your visibility pretty fast.
BTW, mission payout is based solely on boxes they have trained. It doesn't change after a death.

This may come as a shock to you, but a good portion of Jedi don't embark on the hideous Jedi grindfor the privilege of getting hunted by BH's.Hunting Jedi isthe central aspect of being a BH, just look at the posts here, but to many Jedi being hunted by BH is merely a nuisance, a side show that doesn't really have much to do with their goals in the game, their enjoyment of the game, or even Star Wars. For a lot of Jedi players they just want to participate in something uniquely Star Wars and that has nothing to do with BH's. You don't have to buy into all of a professions drawbacks to enjoy its benefits. And even if you accept those drawbacks in the abstract it doesn't mean that they will be dealt with gracefully when confronted in actuality. The Jedi players that are the subject of this post don't seem to have an issue with being hunted by BH's in general. The issue is being hunted repeatedly by the same BH and according to some CSR's and certain interpretations of SOE's policies, this can be construed as harassment, whether you or I agree with it or not.

If they don't want to engage in the "game system" the is setup for the Jedi profession, well, I guess they should find another way to enjoy the game, shouldn't they? Getting a Jedi character, legitimatly, isn't complete cakewalk, it does take a healthy investment of time. The only Jedi that I can see being upset about the BH hunting them multiple times is the jebay losers that bought the account so they wouldn't have to do the work.
I think its lame to hunt the same jedi every 2 hours 
why not just go hunt someone else and come back to him the next day , there are tons of padawan to pick from.

where is it written that i cant take missions from the terminal? as i understand it if the mission is listed then you can accept it. complete it and if it gets listed again, then you can accept it again.
this persons mission was not failing to reset. he was regaining visibility and as such he can be hunted by anyone who can use the terminals.

As bounty hunters, we are trying to clear the terms of all jedi, and when
they keep adding themselves, it just makes our job take longer.
Now where did i put my permadeath rifle?
