Look at these Patch Notes.
I was OK with not having the name, but many Bounty Hunters will rejoice.

To the devs, I thank you. This was the only issue I had with pub. 20 and I am glad to see that you changed your minds.

Pub 20 will still kill my entire BH playstyle (Find jedi first, get mission later. No better way to get opportune strikes), but with this, well, at least it's not a total shaft.And coupled with anti-exploiting mesures, and the fact that this will work as a griefing counter, it's not going to be that bad a system.

I'm sure what little optimism I have will die when my first Jedi is on Kashyyk or duel exploits me and hides in their house.

I was coming to terms with the fact that we wouldn't know the name but this change is great. If we get a jedi on kashyyyk we now have a chance to find him or her.

Once you pick up a mission, go to the informant, and launch a seeker droid after you talk to him...it SHOULD tell you weather or not they're on Kashyyyk before you launch your probot, unless they "fixed" that.

BH love. Congrats guys. I think that was a very reasonable and simple solution for you all.

You don't launch Seeker droids after talking to the SpyNet Operative, you launch Arakyd Probe Droids. You launch the Seeker after you get on the planet where your mark is located. If your Probe tells you your mark is on Kashyyyk, you can choose to go and try to find them, or drop the mission and try another. I'm guessing, at this point, that the Seekers will return names on Kashyyyk, even though they won't return locations.
And, Caix, that method of hunting makes no sense from a roleplaying perspective, the same perspective that argues for the BH knowing their marks' names. A BH is hired by a contractor. The contractor provides the information to the BH. The way you are working, you are your own contractor. If that's the case, then you'd be paying yourself, essentially making no money. So, while your playstyle is quite lucrative, it makes no sense from a roleplay point of view, and, indeed, from a gameplay standpoint, as well.
