At least "I" thought it was funny. After the fact. Story goes like this:
So there I was....
Last night I picked up bounty missions for the first time since pub20. I was kinda peeved a little bit at the fact that you cant pick your mark but I was in a mood last night. Bored out of my mind and not really caring if I lived or died in the fight.
Mission 1 takes me to dantooine where my mark is a mid level jedi (mission paid around 160k) working in a grinding group. I rode up just as she sat down to regenerate force, but a yellow voritor nest spawned late, the lizards agro'd me, so I had to leave fast. I circle around, ride up on her again and fire away. The fight was fairly quick and she died with honor.
Mission 2 takes me to Dathomir via a player city on Dantooine, the Imperial OP on Dant and Bestine. I finally catch up with my mark who has parked his bike 20 meters off shore. As I'm coming around the fence to line up the shot, he comes back, loses his bike and his life quickly and in that order. No problems there.
Mission 3 takes me back to Dath. My mark is somewhere between the starport and the village. From my endless trips to the village and back I know that this is a high spawn area and I remember my first mission of the night when I parked in a voritor spawn. So what do I do? Like an idiot, I mask scent. I ride up, fix my mark in a large hunting group and put him on his back. A few seconds later he is up and after me.
I pass some Alpha Bolma's who detect me and agro, so in addition to the jedi force choking me and beating on me with his saber, I have 3 Alphas stomping me and at the same time I'm having to retreat very carefully between the Kwi and baz nitch spawns in the area.
Mask Scent. Is that something you really think about?
Incidentally, I finally beat the guy for 226k (surprisingly). We fought forever butultimately CM abilities paid off in a big way. He could not dish out the damage as fast as I was able to heal it, and the fire helped me keep a tab on him when he cloaked.
And now I know to take my chances with the local wildlife instead of trying to sneak around them with my stench covered.

Mask scent seems worthless to me. EVERY time I use it, I get aggro'd. If I don't use it.. no aggro.
