Thread: Pre-20 was pure economics...

I have been killing my fair share of 225k Jedi since the patch, but I also end up in the cloner a lot too. What I hate is having them send me a tell saying, "hard to bottom feed now isn't it?".

If you look at the movies... BH were mainly concerned about CREDITS. I can take 2 175k Jedi in less time than it takes me to TRY to take a 225k Jedi. So, if I'm just in it for the credits.... it's basic economics. I can make more money buy killing lots of mid-level Jedi, as opposed to trying full templates.

That being said, for me personally it's about the challenge. I can make way more money loot hunting. I hunt for the 1v1 PvP challenge, because we all know the GCW is just a Jedi gank fest now. I don't mind the new system, because it's always a suprise.

I just find it funny that Jedi can think the BH who hunt mid level Jedi are weak or stupid. If you understood economics, you wouldn't think that way.

What that jedi was reffering to is the literally 100's of bh that went and hammered 100k jedi with 3-5 people on a regular bases thats not a matter economics thats a matter of repecers that dont want to work for it and dont want to take a chance in a fight. I can respect a BH thats out there doing his thing to make money or because thats what he/she likes to do I have no respect for the BH that 1 respeced to just enough BH to hunt jedi and 2 takes 4 freinds to go take out a 90k jedi cause they KNOW it will be an easy target and this was happening all the time I can think of at least 30 times i saw 3-5 BH show up to take out a padiwan friend of mine and this occured from when he was on the terms at 10k all the way up till aaround 170k ish. those are the bottom feeders blam your nerfs on them

Yea but the fact that some BHs hunted/ganked low level jedi is not a reason to have other jedi talk trash. I got hunted (as a 60k mark) by a two man gank squad (and lived lol) which is more than enough to kill a 60k mark but I did not start 5 threads about it (not a hit on you, but other jedi) and never send ignorant tells to BHs that I happen to kill, there is no need for it. The trash talking in this game is one reason I am looking at other games to play.

I understand Jedi being frustrated. I really can, but the fact of the matter is they knew going into to it that if they showed off their fancy flash lights they would be hunted. I know several people who were able to get to knight w/out ever being on the terminal.

If you think about it, would the Emperor really care about the Jedi having a fair chance? Or whoever the mission giver is on the term? The Jedi did something to be on term and the employer doesn't care how you get the job done. Do you think that the US should fight terrorist 1v1 so it's a fair fight? Now, this is a game I know, so that changes things. They should add a system that doesn't allow lvl80 BH to take on lvl65 Jedi.

All of that being said, there are Jerk Bounty Hunters and Jerk Jedi. The actions of some should not reflect the whole. I personally only hunted in a group my first week of BH. It took too dang long to get the same mission. So I take offense to someone accusing me of only hunting padawans in gank sqauds.

There is a difference between trash talking and being a complete idiot, I see nothing wrong with a littletrash talking.....If you dont like trash talking thencompetitive game play against others is not for you.

Trash talking would be... "That proton of yours isn't working to well is it." "Come back when you're ready to finish your training, young padwan." etc...

not... "Man, I beat you ... you must have always only hunted low level Jedi becaus all you wanted was some quick credits.. oh and you must be a respec too."

The first are slightly in Jest w/ some truth. The second is making a WHOLE lot of assumptions and sounds more like whining than trash talk. But I AM very comepetiitive in all things. I play basketball, softball, lots of FPS games. The people I respect the most are the ones that say stuff like, "nice try, good fight." If I'm supposed to win and they beat me and say, "yes.. I killed/beat you.. YES." or whatever.. I don't mind that either, but the whole "you are a respec reject lowbie hunter" is equivalent to saying "I pWzor3d j00 d00d.. j00 r teh sux." If you want to boast, boast about something you did or know... not by making assumptions about people.

/shrug.

Honestly I think those comments are retarded but I rarely spend time talking to my marks. Usually there is no conversation from there and hackling from their guildies.

From a perspective, yes, bounty hunting was completely about economics. Bounty hunters got to choose their risk vs. reward, as the nature of the profession warrants. Now, to ensure maximum Force-sensitive cottlage, "BH" is just a form of PvP gambling.


Perhaps now they'll change Tanks' forum title to "Blackjack Dealer".

The same dispute again, but as far as i'm concearned it gets the same reply.


Noob jedis, I would hunt them when I could everytime.


Why?, because they have been told, with no room for confusion, that if they gain visability they will get on terms.


So knowing this, they still grind gaining vis, I don't care what you can or can't do without gaining vis, as the arguement you noob jedis go on about is "om*g do you know how long it takes to grind jedi". Well good the longer for you the better. you are training to be a jedi, tough luck you can't do it quickly, you get no sympathy from me.


So yes if a noob jedi is 100k, of course I will kill him, you may moan call me names, but i'm playing the game legit, and not exploiting for my money, the jedi had the choice to aviod my "little visit".


so it's quite simple.


Jedi mass populus+common jedi player attitude & arrogance= me hunting and killing you if possible.


There is no room for complaint, call em respec till the sun goes down.


You will not change the outcome.


If you are on the terms, and there is a price on your head, I will come for you, I care not how long you have been jedi.


Kill 3 noobs in 1 hour. Or kill one full template in 2 hourswith all the unbalanced combat in effect.


I call it efficent game play time. And most certainly wise economy thinkingas those bomb, seeker, & probedroids, don't pay for themselves. Oh and 3 jedis have longer to go before they strole around decking those poor innocent stormies.


Wast time jedi who crawl about or forum, typing your retorts or insults, your free too. But there i snothing that will change how I play.


And all the noob!'s and REPEC's will fall on deaf ears.


Have a nice day.
