Pah, /sign y'all are missing his point. us BH's just want to kill another player without being gank squaded by some SF peoplecamping theed or eisley. Only other way is asking another player to duel (-.-) or taking a mission, tracking the player down, fighting, killing, and even getting paid! hey, thats why we went BH in the first place, why would you want to change this? I mean you all have great points, but after being a BH for quite sometime (I'm no noob, just new to the forums), and killing my share of jedi, my OPINION is that player bounties should not be removed.

Yes, I know it was stated that petitions do no good. However...
Consider the fact that many of us played a Bounty Hunter because of the challenge of PvP. There's nothing challenging about running around Special Forces for hours looking for either 1v1's or getting hit by a group of opposing Special Forces members...
Consider the fact that NPC marks are nothing more than a side attraction that offers little to no challenge whatsoever. In fact, the only reason players run NPC missions at the moment is for loot.
I hunt Jedi not because they are Jedi, but because I can fight another player... a player that is unpredictable, living, thinks, breathes. Hunting Jedi is not only a challenge, but hunting other players is what defines a Bounty Hunter, both iconically and in most visions that players have of the SW universe.
Since Jedi will no longer lose experience, why should their missions be removed from the terminal? This removes the purpose of a Bounty Hunter from the game entire. I do not know about the fellow BH population, but I seriously don't feel like sitting around in a cantina bragging 'yeah, I killed 25 computer-controlled AI characters today!' Where's the challenge? Where's the ROLE of a Bounty Hunter?
This is a petition to keep the Player Bounty system. Jedi will suffer nothing more than a simple death and clone. The removal of ingame decay only supports this even more, as the Jedi has nothing more to lose than selecting a 'clone' button.
/sign if you agree.
2 years of playing the game... and hunting player Jedi was the only thing that kept me subscribing this long.
I have been BH since the game was put live, and when i first masterd BH, the option to hunt jedi wasnt even around
so stop acting as though where loosing the whole poitn of being BH, it again will just be like all the other proffesions
however.... i still will miss the ability to do this, i aint gonna brag about how many i haved had succesfull mission on, blah blah blah, lets just say over 300 fond memories pre and post CU.
But dont try force a petitiont to bring it back, we didnt ask for it before it was introduced, so it was kinda an add on we got which made it more exciting being a BH
what i think is that when SOE decided to turn the FRS back, is when the BH will be able to hunt player jedi down again

I like the NGE and look forward to playing it but yes I will sign this.

They can make it consentual PvP, the Jedi can sign up for it like you to special forces. it's a form of one on one PvP, take the alpha strike out of it. The Jedi can attack as soon as he sees red.

This was one of the main reasons I played.
Removal of player bounties has rendered my BHs on 2 of the 3 servers I play on totally useless. Thanks for killing my fun SOE!

Playing GCW vs hunting a jedi are NOT EVEN CLOSE to being the same thing.
I love it when people who have no idea spout off. Clueless people like you are the reason these changes are being made.

As a Jedi I support BH Jedi interaction, but there needs to be an opt in/opt out solution. There are times when being hunted is more of a pain in the arse than fun... but other times its alot of fun. If they were to impliment an opt in/out system I would opt in most of the time. The only time I would opt out would be on those long mundane quests/missions that a BH visit would cause me to fail or set me back several hours.
I should also mention my alt is a smuggler and I would support him being hunted if the same opt in/out system was in place.
My wife's account is the BH so Id get the best of both worlds

To keep the crying to a minimum perhaps we can reach a happy medium by having the BH terms give out bounties on Jedi with a PVP rating similiar to the BH's PVP rating. Thoughts?
