Well im just wondering why some of you guys are gonna be hanging up your pistols when publish 20 comes out. I know the BH terms are gonna be tweaked to say the least, but in all honesty i dont see what you have to lose. Ok you can take a mission for 200k and it could be a paddy or 100k and its a full template jedi. Sounds to me like you guys are kind of lucky. If you just insure your items, then you dont have a whole lot to lose. I do agree that its pretty lame that thier taking out basic bounty hunting skills like finding out the targets NAME and such, and i really appreciated you guys going after the AFK grinders at the Ryatt trail, but i just dont understand why wome of you wont risk item decay for an easy kill. Whats the ratio for full temp'd jedi compared to young paddies BTW?

Well become a BH and find out how big of a pain it can be! Also, once the FRS kicks in thos paddies will be FRS Knights/Masters.

I did become a MBH on Bloodfin a long time ago, before they did the douple XP for investigating tier. i know that tree was a pain, but i picked up CH and had my pets tank for me while i blased that crap out of em with the lightning cannon... that was good times... but i am reading these notes here.... heres what suprised me...
Jedi missions all display a payout of a random number between 45000 - 52000 credits on the terminal but may pay a bonus amount based on level and time since the Jedi was last killed
ok.... thats just pathedic. I really do feel for you guys now, if they would of kept the same payout range, then it might be worth it, but now everyone and thier dog will grind AFK... and people wonder why i dont play my jedi.

Once it comes back in, the FRS that means, many of the Jedi you find on the Trails AFK grinding will not be Knights/Master (if those are the ranks again). They will simply not have the skills needed to level in the new system, especially if they can't fend of some BH's. PvP skills can't be gained through afk grinding, only practice, and practice.

heh, the prob wasnt the skill of the mark, it was that the mark didnt appear half the time and when it did you couldnt attack it sometimes. That was with 10 minute shuttle times and footing it over 6k across planets. I had some CH too and it was still a huge pain

Thats just how much the payouts are listed at. If you kill a Knight level Padawan after 20 you'll get roughly the same number of credits as you got before 20 went live. Unfortunatly it is one of the only ways to be sure bottom feeding doesnt take place. Sure a few more low levels might be killed because of not wanting to go get another mission and pray its higher level, but it will stop deliberate killing of lower level Padawans.
The only other way to keep bottom feeding from happening I can think of is putting level ranges in like other mission terms do so a CL 80 BH can only hunt CL78-80 Jedi. I don't think anyone wants that.

I dont care about level or payout of the jedi, my question is: Will I seefrom which faction my aim is?
I dont like to spend money and time, just to see that I hunt my friends.

No. Its not. It seems that many BH have forgotten that it wasn't all that long ago that ALL jedi mission use to have a payout of 15k, while npc missions payed around 20k.
Publish 20 will sort out the real BH with skills from the weak ones.

I say make all paddy`s 30k with no bonus and to even it out make 300k for jedi knights.I am new and want to learn to hunt on weaker jedi who would still hand me my ass.Leave the ranks of jedi on take names untill you get info from probe,make use have to be mbh and lower the price for paddy`s to the point you dont make a whole lot but if you`re new you would take it because you want to live long enough to learn.

Ok, it's been said a hundred times:
Thefinalpayout hasn't changed at ALL. Only the amount that SHOWS when you get the missionwill display 45k-52k, but you'll get paid according to the power of the jedi you kill, i.e. from 25k for the lowest padawan to 250k+ for full jedi and knights.
This has been done to prevent BHs to stilltry and get missions on the same jedi through getting the missions with the same bounty rewards, as well as to prevent bottomfeeding.
