I'm all for profession only content, like they have started doing in RoTW. I've seen Smuggler only quests and Weaponsmith only quests in the Caverns. But no BH only quests, i think anyone can do Bobba's Clone Wars Relics Quests...

i think this is a great idea but their should also be more tools bh can use to defete jedi, make it take more planning and stuff
like littl ethings we can throw on them that drain their force pool for such and such time like 20 seconds or what ever and like cloking
devices that make us invisible such items shoudl be able to be bought for money or maby bounty faction points say every time you kill a mark let it be smugler or jedi or npc you get points that you can spend like faction points (NPC's woudl give less because they are easier).
however the hardest part would be keeping everyone from going eigther bh smugler or jedi, the fact is bh is a good profession because after you master theirs atleast something entertaining to do iv finished my template and now all i do is quests, PvP and jedi hunting, if im not grinding fs xp (yes im goin for jedi its about the only fun thing to do now, and if i dont im atleast getting ranged speed 4)
just an idea but it would make things more fun to actually have a change against high level jedi. Smugglers should deffinantly be fair game to they do illegal stuff so should be hunted

The Bounty Hunter Ranking System.
To enter this system you need the "Master Bounty Hunter" box.
Once you have that, You go to Boba, he starts you on a set of quests and really really hard BH missions. (think Jedi Knight Trials, BH version)
Once you are done you enter the BHRS. You enter at Fame level 1. and work your way up by doing NPC BH missions (which at BHRS level are much harder then invest 4 missions, ) You also get XP for killing Jedi. As you get higher in "Fame Ranking" your skills become more powerful.This would help MBHs take on Jedi Knights.
There could also be 3 Types of BHRS BHs... Jabba's BHs (missions from Boba, and jabba) Black Sun BH (New Black Sun base would be needed with the Prince ect..) and Nym's BH (missions from Nym) Each type could have its own Bonus's (think Dark Jedi vs Light Jedi FRS)
Perhaps Jabba BHs could haveRifle bonuses, Black Sun could have PIstolBonuses, and Nyms could haveCarbine Bonuses? and maybe exclusive weapons or armor? all just ideas mind you.
Perhaps Jabba's ranked BH's could take missions on Black Sun BHs who fail a mission? and if you die to another BH from a mission you lose a rank, or fame XP... This would add Risk/Reward for BHs in this system as well. ( and who wouldnt like to take another BH on 1 on 1?)
Anyone like this idea? I think its a great way to give us a chance against higher level jedi.

Only problem i see with this. Fight Clubs. As you well Know, you could just grind the Jedi Alts over and over again. Exclude the Player Jedi / player BH from the Ranking System, and i think you have a novel idea.

BHs would only get XP for completing missions. Would people find friends missions to kill? most likely.... that is the main reason that Knights need a new death system. XP lose means nothing to knights atm, That is why fightclub came to be.

With the new BH changes and the FRS being redone... I think its time to bring this back up.. perhaps with Ranks we can get names back? 
With no way to hunt with friends anymore do the Devs really expect us to go out hunting a random mission that ends up being a "Jedi Master" solo? Well if we had a way of gaining strengths and defenses to combat them...
Jedi is the only Alpha Class in this game.. and I have seen the unbalanced PvP caused by Jedi Masters before.

Anyone like this idea? I think its a great way to give us a chance against FRS Knights once the system is put back into place. Since we can no longer group hunt, it would be our only chance against Knights, and is a great end game idea for us.

great idea, i like it alot..
i thinkt he fact of risk/reward is good fro all professions..
being a old school bh.. mastered it too many times to count, this would add content and other factions.

Alright, just so you all know, there will NEVER be a system like this implemented, but it's fun to dream.
BHRS- Reffering to the Bounty Hunter Ranking System. Similiar to the FRS, this is a system where finished templatedBounty Hunterscan continue beyond their profession through killing set amounts of player jedi/smugglers/whatever other player bounties we'll never get.
To enter into the BHRS, you must, first, Master the Bounty Hunter profession, and attain level 70. At that point, you will take a series of quests from either Lord Vader, Admiral Ackbar, or Jabba the Hutt.
You recieve 1 BHRS EXP for every 1,000 credits of the mission payout when you succeed. You lose the same for when you fail.
The BHRS has 3 seperate trees, and there is the possibility to climb the top of 2. The trees look as follows.
Bounty Hunter Intelligence
BHI 1: 5,000 XP
+10 Droid Tracking Speed
+5 Droid Updates
+4 Second Delay (Delays time jedi can attack the Bounty Hunter)
BHI 2: 15,000 XP
+10 Droid Tracking Speed
+5 Droid Updates
+4 second Delay
Also allows 1 additional jedi mission, for a maximum of 2 at any given time.
BHI 3: 45,000 XP
+10 Droid Tracking Speed
+5 Droid Updates
+4 Second Delay
Also shows jedi names on terminals
BHI 4: 150,000 XP
+10 Droid Tracking Speed
+5 Droid Updates
+4 Second Delay
No need to talk to informants
BHI 5: 500,000 XP
+10 Droid Tracking Speed
+5 Droid Updates
+4 Second Delay
After you recieve thelocation from your arakyds, your Mission will display the jedi's template

interesting idea - certainly a fun thing to dream about.
there should be a rule that if a BH decides to take on the BHRS, that toon would not be able to unlock a jedi - it'd make the BH vs Jedi a bit more meaningful, and'd create a whole new dedicated BH community.
