Howdy guys
It's the habit of Correspondents to ask their player base for what they think are the Top Issues affecting their profession. Generally we only do this when asked by the Devs, but it's a good idea to have an updated list in case they should ask.
So now is your opportunity to let your Corro know what you feel are the Top Issues affecting Bounty Hunters. There's a whole bunch out there, but try to stick to profession-specific, i.e. don't say "My CM dots are too weak" as that would be a Combat Medic issue. Feel free to also list possible solutions to these issues.
I'll start it off with what I think are our Top Issues:
1) Duel Exploit: Currently if a Jedi attempts to /duel a Bounty Hunter, the system will let him know if the hunter has his bounty. Needless to say this completely negates the element of surprise, stalking, and first strike
2) Faction Bases: Jedi can enter factional structures while the BH TEF is active. The Devs have acknowledged this as an issue
3) House-Bounties: A large percentage of our bounties are located inside structures. It doesn't do us much good to waste much of our time running from planet to planet to find a target we can't even get to. I do not approve of removing any player from a structure they are already in, or shooting through walls, or allowing aBHto enterabounty's home. HoweverI still think an alternative needs to be found
4) Warp-Marks: Waypoints for NPC marks do not update for several minutes, and then suddenly the mark will be thousands of meters away
5) Broken States: Dizzy should decrease offensive abilities and Stun should prevent action regeneration. Although this is a trans-profession issue, it hurts Bounty Hunters specifically as it makes Confusion Shot severely under-powered
6) Duelist Stance:is reflecting back a fixed amount of 25 damage only. Suggest a % of damage taken (10-25%)
Our old Top Issues thread can be foundhere
Those are just my ideas, so let me here yours
Good hunting!

Does the order mean anything? If so, I think they should be:
1) Duel Exploit
Couple of things that have been an issue for me lately.
The DB Timer- With the lag on certain planets sometimes I have problems with the DB timer because my mark's body will warp out of range enabling him time to get up and heal, and eventually run away. I have lost 10-15 marks this way. This isnt an issue with my technique, it's a techincal issue that puts BH's at a disadvantage. I just dont think it's fair. I know I am not the only BH experiencing this.
General Lag related issues- Sometimes I cant seem to mount onto a vehicle as my mark is Force Running away. Sometimes certain specials wont launch even though the special's cooldown timer has expired.
Marks Using Cloak 'Not as Intended'- Nuff said
Marks intentionall dying to PvE content in order to avoid being DBed by the Bh.
PC missions other than Jedi- I know this topic alone merits a lot of discussion and I have seen several posts and ideas about smugglers and other BHs popping up on the terminals, but in all honesty I think this concept should be placed on hold until a GCW revamp arrives. The reason being is a large population of players will flock to the Bounty Hunter profession in order to get PvP where they dont have to worry about Jedi Gank Squads.

I read that thread already, and I tried waiting out the mark's movements. But it stayed in the same spot in or near the lake, and I honestly wasted more time waiting for it than running back to kaadara for a new mission. Thanks for the help anyhow.
Jedi going into faction bases is NOT a top issue. If they are special forces or combatant they have every right to enter a base. If you want to get them either hunt your own faction or kill the npc to get in.
First off if a jedi is special forces he has to fight S.F. players and BH's at the same time. Locking him out of his own faction base is just plain stupid. Why dont the jedi just go prone and let everyone kill him.
Some of my top issues are.
1. Kd bugs that cause you to die.
2. Bugged FR.
3.Cloaking cheese (will be fixed soon)
4. Droids only giving target name when you are 1k near them. Should give name if you launch a seeker on the same planet they are on.
5.Deathblow timer, sliding incaps and the whole DB thing. Cant tell you how many times the bar went up all the way and nothing happen. Or I had to chase a sliding incap body over 60m only to have them get up before I can kill them.
