Hey, great point. Guess they should just take away the BH proffession all together than huh smart guy?
i made a post like this yesterday and think its a great idea. i never did many jedi bounties before, but now that everyone will be equal and have no downside to combat/death/clone b/c of no decay then i say bounties for all.
one thing was pointed out to me, even if you come up with a system that basically makes griefing impossible you still have the money "exploit" where the mark and the bh split the cash. with now downside to dieing there is no reason people wouldn't do this left and right.
i couldnt' come up with a way for the game to prevent this myself but perhaps if we all started thinking about it we could come up with something that samous could present to the devs. something that we would all like, hinder griefing, and have as few possible exploits as possible. you never know, if samous were to present a solid idea they might just do it (not likely but there is the possibility).

In the SW universe, anyone could have a bounty placed on them for doing something wrong, not just jedi or smugglers. I say we come up with a system(no, I dont have any ideas atm) that allows for any class to be hunted by BHs if they do enough of (whatever the system dictates), inluding BHs themselves if they do this. If all classes are equal, and there is no item decay or xp loss from death, this should actualy be a fairly fun and fair system.
non consensual pvp will never return...
and saying 'because you killed X number of storm troops you consented' is not valid. what will happen is pvp based missions, where one person has to do / deliver X and the other person has mission to stop them. these will be marked as PVP in big bold letters so everyone knows what to expect.
lots of people DO NOT WANT to pvp at all. ever. not in any form. forcing them to do somehting they hate in a game they pay for is not good buseness, and that's why it won't happen again. what you will get is a fully opt-in system that lets only those who wish to hunt / be hunted participate. and since pvp will no longer be decided by fotm and who has the most creds to spend on stuff, you will see a lot more ppl doing it.
the new system will be so much more fun for everyone involved.
I definetly agree. I really think it should be Straight PvP. Maybe just for all level 80 and above!
