No I'm not going to find a new prof because I love being a BH.I hate it when people say **edit** like that.
And there are plenty of Jedi who hate when they're hunted, but it's part of the game.
Yes, but the difference is that when some one goes jedi, they know and have to accept that part of being jedi is that we get hunted by BH.
No one ever agreed or accepted that getting trash talked too was part of their profession, trash talking is something that no one should ever accept.
And for you not accepting trash talking, have you ever played a sport and not had trash talking? Even with your friends trash talking exist, and usually doesn't mean anything. Players who PvP are going to be more aggressive the other players, and forcing people to PvP is going to bring that out even more. So to me, /emotes and trash talking are just part of the "sport". And seriously, does and /emote hurt you?
who is "forced" to PvP? seriously. no one.

Wrong. Jedi were here before BH could hunt them.

Are you? Really? You don't want people to be mean to you. What would you consider mean? I consider mean to be someone attempting to cause me to lose several hundred thousand Jedi XP. I'm a married father of 3 with 2 jobs and 9 hours of lecture in a Master Program. I have very little time to play, and I happen to consider it extremely rude for someone to attempt to try to wipe out all of the progress I may have made in the precious few hours I get to play any game at all.
Maybe that doesn't fit your definition of mean, but the last time I checked, most civilized places in the world don't begrudge you a few choice words you may have for an assailant. Maybe if you came up, took a few shots, dropped the mission and said "Hey, I dropped it, duel now for cash" you'd get a fair fight and someone that will show you a little respect. Otherwise, don't expect it, you haven't earned it.
It's not mean because you knew that was the case before you became a jedi and you accepted that. You understand the risks of being a jedi and the fact that SOE is trying to keep our population in balance to a slight degree.
I cant speak for you but I know quiet a few people personally in game who don't care about being hunted but once they get jedi they whine and complain about it, because it's happening to them..Get over it, it's a part of the game.
I have to agree totally with CPA. It IS mean to wipe out someone's hard work, because you believe it's your "job" to do so. It is a game mechanic, and something every Jedi has to live with. But contrary to what every BH out there thinks, including BoyOfLight and the OP and evidently lots of other Jedi, Jedi DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE IT. Living with it and liking it are two different things. So many people say 'you knew the risks, stop complaining'. To those people I say, who are you to control what anyone else should think or say? It is mean, it is cruel, it is flat out griefing to willingly and knowingly inhibit another's progress, no matter how you look at it. But again, having said that, it IS a game mechanic, and one that too many people complain about seemingly without realizing that there are very, very easy workarounds.
I show no sympathy for the current leveling Jedi when it comes to being BH'd...Leveling jedi right now is a joke and if people like me could keep from seeing BH all the time back when we had to take extra steps to stay off the terminals then you guys can do it too.

I don't know if this qualifies as trash talking, butI have a DB macro that says "I have no desire to kill you." as the DB timer is running thru. I have gotten tells saying "Why'd ya kill me? You said you wasn't gonna!!!" and I'd just say "No, I didn't,I said I had no desire to.... I have no desire to pay taxes either, but I still have to do it."
I actually find that funny.

OK, I'm only posting this because it's happened to me like twice in the past week.
I had these two hunts where I was beaten by these two very skilled Jedi, and they were both very good fights. However, I was surprised to see after the fight was over, while I was typing my congratulautions to him, that he laughs at my corpse and sends me 10 tells saying that I "Messed with the wrong Jedi, N00b!" A similar thing happened like a day later.
What's with all the hate? It's a game and nobody should be being this mean to other players. Regardless of their profession. Sure, BHs do it too, and they're just as bad as the Jedi who trash-talk. I mean, it's just plain nasty. I consider myself a pretty nice guy, and whenever this happens I'm pretty dumbfounded. I'm just doing my job as a BH.
Why can't we all just... get along?
PS- I'm not trying to get flamed or accuse anybody of anything, I think I'm being as open as I can be. Don't turn this thread into a Jedi/BH war. I'm posting this in both forums btw.
this go both way and there is allways inmature peeps in both profs
when i have a BH after me and i kill him i dont say a word to him or any i have not done it if i get killed either
i neither do it with my BH either
This sorta thing is funny to me. I'm willing to bet a large number of these jedi were bh's.

The scoffing and the "pathetic" stuff is subtle but really aggravating. It's taunting, and is unacceptable if your opponent hadn't trash-talked you.
If you can't take the trash talking, maybe it's time to find a new profession. Our mere existence is aggravating to a Jedi.
