make the argument yes hahaahahahahaha visibility is your own fault
how is it your fault to make visibilyty when the only way to hunt now is to group up with ppl and hunt creatures
thats why they are changing it
if that was in cycle now there wouldnt be as many jedi hunts by bh
I am on Kettemoor, you can read my reports.
Plse help to make my gaming experience enjoyable, I at least play by the rules.
Oh and I am cancelling my account for now, I will allow it to expire and renew manually only if I am shown that SOE is genuine in its desire to enforce the rules of the game and higher community standards.

yes but where is the fun?
you get jedi to have a saber to use your powers.
i have never used my saber or powers in public, when ever i go out of my home town i change into normal clothes, unequip my saber, so ther eis no chance of me getting visibility, but when i have to hunt to get xp i have no choice bu to use my powers and my saber to get that xp
wow
read what i wrote and think really, really hard.......
i got bounty hunter to hunt jedi, does that mean with subpar equipment i should be able to hold my own against someone who has spent days and days acquiring their's, even gone so far as to not level their jedi, or use their other toon that can't be hunted since it isn't a jedi, in order to take the time to get good weapons and equipment? if you're so naive you don't see why this is a problem then go play some lame, happy mmo that doesn't involve pvp. i hear the new dungeons and dragons game doesn't have pvp, maybe you'd enjoy that? or there's always eq2.

In-game the BH/J system in NOT intended to servesas a check on population, it's intended to serveas a check on VISIBILITY. We're not there to punish you for being a Jedi, we'r there to punish you for doing things that get you on the terminals.
If the BH/J system was intended to serve as a check on visibility, then the system is majorly flawed. At nearly any time of day I can go to 6 or 7 starports and see jedi dueling. Theed, Coronet, Mining Outpost on Dant, Bestine, Mos Eisley, etc.
With publish 20, that might go away. But in all honesty, unless the devs bring back a system of NPC visibility deterant (saber TEF or something similiar) then there will be no true visibility check.
Absolutely agreed.But pub 20 will only make the issue worse, not better. No names on the terms mean no way to target the Jedi killing Stormtroopers in front of the Bounty Hunter Terms in Kaadara (true story). There needs to be a high level "Imperial Crackdown" type of system in place to enforce visibility, and a meaningful penalty to be paid even by fully temp'd Jedi who run afoul of it (force-bar "wounds", light saber component decay,orhuge FRS penalties when that system comes back?).
The player Bounty system should only be one part of the Vis-Enforcement system... but even the Jedi seem to have issues with the number of Jedi running around in the open right now.
IMO... Saber TEF + Skillbox loss from non-FRS related PvP.

No other profession has a penalty for using their dev-given abilities resulting in the one thing you can never gain back. Time.
Glarg.....you have hit the nail on the head!!!!!!!!
As long as I stand to lose what has taken me literally months to attain ( I get to play very little) I will continue to hate the bh..
I never show myself as jedi in public...have only a few boxes in sabres...am level 62 atm....I try not to get vis...but I am sure that after the publish I will get visits...and frankly the bh I have me coming after my friends (with the exception of a few with honor) they have disgusting little twerps who take pleasure out of others misery. You are SO RIGHT when you say this system creates HATE.....WHY WONT SOMEONE LISTEN????
a privilege is granted by some authority.
a right is inherent and cannot be taken away.
just about anything you have or can do in starwarsgalaxies is a privilege.

My gameplay is being greatly affected by rampant harassment and cheating. I am a Master Bounty Hunter, and everyday I go off on my missions and encounter not only Jedi willing to cheat and exploit but friends willing to help them do it. Today for instance several Jedi I hunted in Kashyyyk Ryatt Trails by the Wookie Camp used the Line of Sight Exploit so that I would be unable to attack them. When I told them I would report them they just laugh at me. I do report them. Do they laugh because CSR doesn't take Harassment/Exploiting seriously? It must be because I have reported many Jedi for similar behaviour as well as their friends that help them cheat with the /offerride. What happens when I report someone? Does it even matter? And what does SOE, CSR, the Devs think about all the AFK Grinding that goes on?

Tell you what. Why would you be hunting the jedi on the ryatt trails? The vast majority of them will be exploiters? My jedi has been on the ryatt trails a total of 3 times. Once because a guild mate was going there (left when I found out that I would have to do the entire pathfinding quest to get to the guildmate). Once to do the said quest. And one time to grind xp, I left after about an hour because I was bored out of my skull. Haven't been back.
Of course, I also am not even truly using my jedi right now, since I am waiting for the group vis to go away. Then one lucky BH will get to kill me and I'll never be on the terms again.

Actually yea, if i hunt a mark that is hiding in his home or hunt a mark that i cannot kill because he is a max temp, thats a lot of time wasted right there. So you say that since your profession takes longer then it should be the strongest? BH takes the 2nd most time, shouldnt we be the 2nd strongest by your logic?
