You call them padawans i call them paychecks
knights are worth more
Are they? I mean I've tried almost 50 times to kill a knight solo but they are ready for pvp 24/7 and defense stack more than a solid brick.
On the other hand I have (with much effort and patience) been able to solo 203-215kers and the payout is a mere 10k lower for a much easier job.
btw- any BH who says he hunts formoney is an idiot. Taking 4-7 hours to track and kill a 215ker is not worth the time and effort. I could take Bol missions in that amount of time and get more money.

It takes you 4-7 hours to track and kill a 215ker? Wow.

Im a jedi and i have a bounty hunter, why do most bounty hunters only hunt padawans. On my jedi, i never get hunted, but when i grind i see padawans getting hunted all the time. On my BH, i only hunt knights, and bout 45% of the time i can manage a win. My guns arent legendary or anything, i just know wha to do. Why do all the other BH's not hunt knights?
3 words. Because We Can
I tend to hunt non-complete templates because these guys are usually found grinding and low on force.
The completed templates are usually inside player-cantinas, complaining that no one ever hunts them.
When I want cash I hunt 110-180k Jedi. If they are on any adventure planet grinding xp it takes 15 min to get to them, 15 min to fight them, 5 min to return. 1 hour = 120-360k and it was fun in the process. Bol missions 9.5k each, 5 min to find them (find on terminal then travel), 5 min to kill them, 1 minute to mish #2, 5 min to kill them, 2 min to return. 18min = 19k, 1 hour = 57k. 57k does not equal what I can make on Jedi in the same time, heck BH npc missions take about 15min and you can get about 90k / hour.

I'd be happy, but it won't happen because there are so many Jedi now that SOE won't risk losing that many subscriptions.

You guys don't need to believe me, but last rumor i heard was SOE wants to remove jedi all together. I'm sure you guys are happy about it.
By the way, to all the Jedi - You can all go whine to the Jedi forums - Jedi ARE supposed to be hunted. Period.
If you didn't want to be hunted there's other 32(I think) professions to choose from - from Weaponsmith to Exotic Dancer.
It's simple - if you don't wanna get hunted then instead of going Jedi, go Master Dancer / Master Tailor - I think you'll be happy to find out they aren't hunted and you can play all you want without worrying.
Jedi = SWG IN HARCORE MODE if you don't have the balls for it then don't get the FS for it
P.S.: BHs can hunt whoever they want, the Jedi chose to go Jedi, they weren't forced at gunpoint....

Because most BH's don't have the necessary skills. They take what is easy vs. most reward. I read some actually say Paddy's are more of a challenge. lol.
Jeez we here all the complaints about jedi being the uber l33t alpha pro, but reading this thread you'd think it was the BH who were 1.5x the stronger prof, especially listening to the knight killers ^ ^ You guys never seem to die, Or if you do no one reports or boast about it -
Guess I must roll a BH on my alt, my Ego sure could do with an injection of uberness :-))

I mainly hunt jedi from 140K to 224K (non-knight) simply because a Knight no longer has anything to lose in terms of XP. I may hunt a Knight in a group just for the fun of it, however solo hunting Knight's kind of take the fun out of it for me. I want to see that XP loss. As a jedi myself, I could care less if someone kills me when I'm a Knight but it gets me fired up to die before that and have to regrind for the xp,,,,as it does most paddys.

This pretty much sums up the entire BH profession: Grief player who are people hating cowards that need to boost their frail egos by spoiling other people's games.
im not elite yet but hers some thoughts
1. what if it was smugglers ganking you? is it just bh related? your PVP right which means some not all of this proffession will kill you not because your jedi but because they are 1 faction you are the other.
