This is just more proof that SOE is getting ready to do away with non jedi profs and make this game jedi only

You have to look at this from a Jedi POV and not just the BH one. Prior to 20, the Jedi names were being provided on the terminals, this meant it was easy to be able to form up gank squads and unfairly take on Jedi with your uber krayt pistols and your LS resistant armor, back then it was at a point where it was literally unfair to hunt a Jedi under those situations. The removal of names means that the BHs don't get everything handed to them on a plate and that gank squads take far too long to assemble now and aren't worth the effort.
A Mutually benefitial solution for this would be to return names to the terminals, yet at the same time remove all trace of Jedi xp loss, that way BHs get their credits and Jedi don't end up wasting their time.
Simple solution, bring back SABER TEF. That way if you want to show off in a crowded place you will most likely get killed. One more thing bring back XP loss for any death, PvP, PvE.

Oh please, just stop defending your profession.
SOE broke the BH mechanics and you know it and SOE knows it.
The urbanmyths surrounding 5-man Gank Squads taking out 80k pallies are just that, myths. Yet, SOE listened to jedi profession and introduced a game mechanic that was broken on TC and it is broken now.
We have heard rumors that BH get some sort of love in Pub21. Well, whatgood does any lovedo if we can't find our marks?
Anyway, we BH believe that the original dictates that jedi was supposed to be hard, rare, and hunted. SOE has never publicly changed that stance, although their actions with this publish tell us otherwise.

Well, speaking from both points of view (since I have both) the only thing i'd prefer is to find a jedi online when the term says they are. In my experience so far with the BH'ing, I would be more happy seeing 13/15 jedi showing up on kashyyyk after i just got their mission than 13/15 offline, after i JUST got their mission from a term. That's my big issue with the current system. Supposed 'online jedi' are NOT online. It just can't be dumb luck that within 2 mins of picking up 13/15 'online' jedi missions only to find out they're offline when my ARK is launched.
I don't know, for all intends andpurposes, THIS jedi is no longer going to be in hiding like I should be...

Yes, because thats VERY fair for both groups of players (/sarcasm off). BHs who hunt not for the credits are griefers, my solution SHOULD benefit everyone.
Publish 20,
Day 1: 3 missions, 1 offline, 1 in space, killed 1
Day 2: 15 missions, lost count in how many offline, 1 on Kash, killed 2
Day 3: 9 missions, 1 offline, 2 on Kash, killed 6
I think those "offline" missions were possibly decayed missions that BHs had in their datapad prior pub-20.

yeah your solution benifits EVERYONE, by that you mean JEDI and jedi with BH friends, b/c no exp lose means endless supply of credits.
Nothing against Jedi, but for instance those running around in Theed or anywhere else for that matter and get caught using there saber/force powers etc. etc. should be attackable on site. Let the BH find out if they can collect some dough later by turning in some proof of the Jedi's demise.
So, just out of curiousity....How many Jedi do you guys know that are in hidding? Cause, I sure haven't seen any lately, in hidding that is... I'm sure there's a few who manage to stay off the Terms by actually sneaking around a bit...aren't there?
/sarcasm off
Personlly I haven't had many problems tracking down the few Jedi I have went after.9 Missions, found 6, killed 5 and let one go. (ya, I let one go.... they were in the middle of doing some sort of guild hunt/quest thing and I didn't feel like messing up there quest. It's one thing to find the Jedi alone and ruin his day by killing him, but to ruin a large groups day...well, guess I suddenly had a brain clot or somethin.)Won't happen again though... I got bummed out after I dumped the mission, had to drink even more beer to recover from it.
The first 3 missions I did, I found them no problem, but once I got within range of them and tried to shoot, it wouldn't let me attack. The first run I figured maybe I was just bugged and dropped the mission, even logged out and back in. Grabbed a new mission and the same thing happened. Needless to say I was getting a bit concerned how I was supposed to kill them. So, being patient I tried one more time...same thing. I got fed up and logged for the night....came back the next day and the other 6 worked out just fine. It was wierd to say the least....anyone else seen that one yet?
