Well Jedi will no longer get visibility for grinding in groups, we will have more knights than ever with an easy ride to the top. Well we (bounty hunters) can no longer see the jedi's name on the terms either, so that means simply that BH will be turned into a waypoint chaser profession. I believe there is a solution to all of this.


First, an idea I've always thought should be implemented is being able to have a fake name for your character, and having an image designer change your appearence. In the Star Wars universe everybody did not wear their names on their shirts, nor did everybody give their real name. Bounty Hunter needs to remain a profession in which if you apply intelligence it becomes better. The investigation line is meant to enable a Bounty Hunter to stalk their prey, not fly in on a swoop hop off and try to fight a Jedi. I ask that Smugglers be granted this ability to change the name of players into illusionary ones, a random name so that us Bounty Hunters can no longer be tagged as such and only being able to use a trick only once.


Second is enable seekers on Kashyyyk. This is literally rediculous. People have to try to search and search and search instances of kashyyyk and explore every zone of each instance often times to discover which spot the Jedi is, or a better solution...leave the seekers disabled on Kashyyyk but introduce a mission bonus for killing someone on kashyyyk...say a 500k bonus to the mission. This will give a greater incentive to Bounty Hunters to kill on Kashyyyk instead of launching a probe droid, finding out they're on Kashyyyk and then dropping it.


Taking names off of the terminals is not the end of intelligent hunting. I do not imagine that the person giving the bounty would really know the name of their marks unless they really flaunt their lightsaber. How about this? The amount of information you get on the terminals depends on how much visibility the Jedi generates. Should a Jedi accidently get an npc within 32m when they're grinding with their group then they will only get that they are a jedi...no name, no faction. If a Jedi should kill a few npc's then the bounty hunter will get faction and that they are a jedi. Should a Jedi start fighting in front of people, participating in pvp, revealing their Jedi everywhere then they should be put on the high bounty list. This should provide their name, their faction, and that they are a jedi.


I'm posting this to seek solutions to problems not to criticize without being constructive and not just to whine. That does not solve problems that only creates more problems. Your thoughts?

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lighting bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Nice, really like the the name change idea. But don't you think 500k would be a bit to much...oh what am I saying...unless you have a glowstick or some kind of way of paying the devs off, they won't listen.
