I was thinking on something. hear me out please
If the jedi xp loss was removed from bounty missions and reset into PVE death. Imagine the jedi fighting every BH that comes for them, the BH would still get paid, get their xp, the jedi would have a reason to fight and would be able to do all of the quests. If they die from a pve death, they would lose xp, either the same amoutn or an amount based on the CL of the MOB.
this is not to remove xp loss this is to change it from bounties to pve death.
again, BH's would hunt more fighting jedi who gain vis from doing quests and you will find some jedi die a lot from pve deaths so xp loss would either be the same or a little more based on the risk they take in questing. BH's would not lose payouts, or the ability to hunt jedi. But it weould give the jedi a reason not to run.
thoughts?
Very exploitable. If the Jedi had absolutely nothing to lose from a BH, the BH might as well say "Hey Jedi, let me kill you and I'll give you half." A minute or so later, each side walks away with 125k in their pockets and no loss of anything on either side.

this is a very good point.

What's good fro the goose... Everyone who suggests xp loss for another class should be gifted with it themselves. Just about everyone is a bh these days, and that's just as non-starwarsy as too many jedi. Time to thin the herd.
You made your bed, go lie in it. Or go play your freebie alt,that's what its for, right?
Um no...
The exp loss should be taken out entirely....Due to the number of Jedi now in the game this isfunction has not served is purposeand merely causes upset amongst the player base.
As a BH, Jedi exp loss does not enhance my game at all. If we are all honest there is not a single BH on any server who has anything to gain by Jedi exp loss. I would much rather wail on em without the begging and whining for mercy....
The Exp loss now only serves those players whocannot have a good time withoutcausingupset to someone else.
If I have this wrong and anyone can suggest a valid reason for exp loss now that Jedi iscomparatively easy to obtainand the exp can be reground ina couple of hours...

Agreed, I have a Jedi and MBH alt. In this current system, Jedi hunting is not as fun as it could be, which is the whole point IMHO. I want to hunt Jedi for fun without causing misery.
I caught up with my first Jedi. Nearly had her incapped then she asked to pay me off. I agreed, I already had my fun, caught her totally by surprise and knocked her off her swoop. So I took the payoff and let her go, she said she migrating her template. But I had my fun, that's what was important to me, and I didn't cause another player misery.
I am trying to go after the full templates only that aren't worried about XP loss. More challenge and fun that way. And if I can't do a sneak attack, then it's also no fun. Rifle cover might not be as good as cloak, but I am having fun with it that moment of surprise is worth it.
