Ok, i am a MBH... i know its 2x xp week, and i havn't had much time online to go on BH hunts.
What i have been doing the past 2 days is sitting at a BH terminal in my guildhouse, with 3 of my BH friends. We find 100-220k missions and I send the mission a tell saying exactly this:
Hi! I am a bounty hunter. Me and 3 of my frienda have come across your name on the terminal. We understand that it is 2x xp week, and would like to make an offer. If you would send me a mere 120,000, i will assure your safety from me and my 3 friends until July 6th, when the EXP week is over. I would hate to be trouble during such a great time for you to grind. Thank you.
I have had many people pay, with little complaints. People who say they won't pay, we go take the missions quickly. Is it wrong to do this? I cannot be reported because i am not threatening someone with XP loss or anything, and the BH role is to do whatever i have to to get my reward. If i can get my reward this way, is it ok?
And no im not a newb BH, i do hunt jedi when i have time.

Its an interesting thought - but I was never much for getting paid for something that I did not do.
Sounds rather lazy to me.

I doubt you'll get in trouble but that kind of thing is what can make the DEVs decide to take out BH vs Jedi... Or atleast remove their names from the terms... For the good of the profession I wouldnt do that anymore... Just my two thoughts

Call it what you want - you asked for opinions - I gave you mine.
You want the reward for work you did not do - to me that sounds lazy.
Risk and reward is certainly more personaly satisfying for me.

Sounds like you and your 3 friends are cowards and bullies - losers.
Seriously 4 of you against a 100 - 200K Jedi? Most BHs could solo these Jedi.Of course the Jedi will pay without complaining - howwould they stand a chance against 4 of you, no matter how pathetic you are as a BH?
If being labelled themost patheticBH in the galaxy is a title that appeals to you, then by all means keep doing what you are doing.
It's because of people like you that Jedi names and payouts are going to be removed from the terminals.

Of course i can solo a jedi like that, but when i only have 45 minutes of play time, i dont have time to run through kashyyyk looking for these people hiding. And i swear, i don't think i ever read anywhere where DEVs said "Yes we will 100% be taking names and payouts off of the terminal, it will be a 100% thing." No they said they were tossing the idea around.

Spend the 45 minutes of play time looking for all the Jedi NOT grinding on Kashyyyk, and you will be surprised to find a number of marks to choose from. I have killed many Jedi and i don't even have Rage of the Wookiees.

While I personally laugh at the idea of this, there's no point in calling him names.
But the excuse of "I only have 45 minutes" is in a bit of a contradiction with the fact that you were capable of organizing this little ruse and intricatley plan it out with each specific person, meeting up, agreeing on various Jedi, and chain doing this.
However, if this is your choice, that is quite alright, you will have to live with the reputation that you're building as all talk and no action.
Hopefully, my friend, you can rectify this.

People like you give the rest of the BH communtiy a bad name. At least track the Jedi down and ask for the money in person.
And yes....
YOU ARE LAZY!

Jealous? Wow you are sooo right! I am jealous because this guy sits on his @ss clicking refresh for 45 minutes, making a diack of himself asking Jedi for credits, while i am out there hunting, having fun killing Jedi,learning from each experience, and getting more money since I don't have to share it with 3 of my silmilarly lazy friends (who i am also jealous of).
LOL
