Not only are there jedi explorers on Kashyyyk, but whilest it's merely impossible to find your mark on Kashyyyk, obviously because the droids "can't pinpoint their location" *cough cheap cough*, but it would take far too long to search every set of instances within Kashyyyk.
You may call this a whine, but I thought this was a game intended to be fun to play, not a nightmare. Every mark I get now, appears on Kashyyyk. The number of droids i've wasted on these marks is just ridiculous. I'd be lucky if I could finda housed jedi on somewhere like Tatooine, but very rarely do I get a mark not housed afk/on Kashyyyk.
Anyway this is really spoiling the whole objective of BH, sapping out all the fun from it. I'll probably end up quitting this game again (recently re-joined shortly after CU release).
I have no idea if the devs are even gonna bother reading this, but please, for the sake of BH's seeking a bit of fun (it'sa game!), do something about Kashyyyk.. 
And I know there have been many posts on this, and I will most likely be flamed, but this is really getting to me..

i had 19 in a row on kashyyyk just last night...devs should really either get droids working there again or at least remove xp from the planet so jedi legitimately doing the quests/adventures can have their fun and jediwon't be there to grind, which the planet wasn't intended for in the first place.

The same argument has been made by Jedi. The system is broken and the more people who get involved in it the more obvious and frustrating its flaws will become, for both parties alike. If the risks and rewards were balanced between the hunter and the hunted then Jedi wouldn't be motivated to avoid involvement in a system that offers them nothing to gain and everything to lose, particularly when they are fighting players who haven't had to invest as much to reach a similar combat level. Under the current system the motivation for Jedi players is to avoid BH contact and it is in fact unwise for them to do otherwise. What fun is it for anyone to see your goal for the day wrecked by a surprise attack?
The CU is largely responsible for this situation. Players who otherwise would never have been on the terms prior to the CU have no choice now but to group grind and the only place they can do this in relative security is on Kashyyk. It seems lost on a lot of BH players but while hunting Jedi is a central aspect to the BH profession it is considered at most a nuisance to many Jedi. While BH's may have chosen that profession to enjoy PvP, many players didn't choose the Jedi path to become BH targets. They chose it for a variety of other reasons, perhapsjust to enjoy immersion in acentral aspect of Star Wars lore,and may find being hunted by BH's unwelcome or even unauthentic, something which it is their right to choose to avoid if they so wish.

But you have to take the fact that there are lots of instinces on Kashyyyk, you would have to go through alot to find them, this would be more annoying than just finding another mission

I wanted to group on Kashyyyk today in the trails,but none of my grinding buddys were online.
I started at instance 1 and went and looked all the way through #7.
Total time to check all instances..... less than 30 minutes.
Not that hard.
Learn to hunt and dont rely on your droids. Most old time BHs used to track marks across planets with broken droids.
Surely you can check 7 small instances,.

indeed good point, but what i they are in a more "challenging" instance...how about Grievous, how long would it take you to look through the whole cave 7 times? now hopefully your luckey enough that your mark isnt facing grievous. but if you ask me ill get another mission. one more question as well, if you dont need to use driods, then why do you complain about this? isnt it the whole not being able to use droids that is in question?

if your mark is facing grievous you cant get him anyways. its a locked instance. well actually some people have figured out how to exploit that i understand but it is an exploit...

The devs have said that Kashyyyk was designed as an adventure planet and that the "untouchable jedi hiding" is working as intended. Their advice to us is to wait them out "eventually they will have to leave Kashyyyk since they cant put a house down there." Oh how ignorant they are of the their own game.

They cant put houses down but they are still living there. They log in the LoS bugged bridges, safe. Just like a house.
They really dont have to leave for training, because they are training each other.
So, the Jedi grinding there can stay there indefinately. They can heal each other, train each other, and can easily hide in the LoS bridges. Its as good as home as any. All they need now is to be able to put chairs in the LoS bugged bridges.
Ive even seen report now that Jedi are evenfiling harassment tickets against other groups who come into thier instances and try to grind the same Wookie's Calling it Kill stealing. Wich from my understanding is a legitimate harassment ticket.Punishable even,

As was discussed at length in another thread:
KILL STEALING IS PERFECTLY LEGAL IN SWG CSRs and Devs have said time and time again that no one owns any spawn in this game. If someone is camping a spawn that you want to camp, then you have to out damage them. This dead horse was flogged over and over again in the past two years in regard to Krayt Dragons, Avaxa Min, Lord Nayax, the Fire Spider and the Acklay.
That said, chasing someone off a spawn, then following them to a different instance and chasing them off again is harrassment.

17 in a row here... wastes our money too, using droids to track them.
