ok, im Jedi.
first of all, i think the most new BH "changes" are nesecarry, cept 1.
itihnk what SOE has done to BH is just plain unfair, 45000-52000 creds is just ridiculous.
i mean, im a BH too, and as a JEDI i think this is unfair cuz of all the work BH goes through to touch up thier temp, and through all the stalking and hunting.
SOE FIX THIS, THIS IS COMPLETLY UNFAIR TO BH!!!! ( coming from jedi)
i unlike many other people that play SWG, am an optimist and think that all profs should be relativly equal, and hope that SOE changes this back to the old payoff system.
anyway, i just felt like i should put this out there, and i wanted to show to all BH that Some jedi (LIKE ME)accept the fact that BH need to make a living too, and i dont hate on BH that hunt me

From what players have reported on TC, the payouts are still about the same. You get a bonus that makes up for the price. The reason they are hiding the bonus is probably to ensure that full temp chars get hunted now as well.

Volleva-Corbantis screamed in a really large font:
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH!
I think you are failing to understand why this was done.
A few nights ago, I was krayt hunting with friends, two of whom were jedi.
- Jedi #1 is a finished-template 226k variety wearing the "Jedi Knight" title.
- Jedi #2 is a 105k padawan.
- both Jedi are on the terminals.
About 20 minutes into our hunt, the first bounty hunter shows up and attacks ... you guessed it ... Jedi #2 the 105k paddy. Unfortunately for the bounty hunter, when he arrives he is being chased by a Krayt Dragon Ancient who kills first him, and then most of our group (including his target).
About 15 minutes later, four bounty hunters show up together and proceed to kill their mark .... once again Jedi #2 the 105k paddy. After another three hours of hunting, no bounty hunters ever came for Jedi #1 (the 226k target).
In fact, Jedi #1 has only been hunted once (and killed by a solo BH) since finishing his template before the CU, and he has been on the terms and playing heavily the whole time. This differs from Jedi #2 who unlocked just before the CU, and has stayed off of the terminals until a week ago -- she has been hunted by 28 different bounty hunters in 8 days, on several occasions in groups of two or more.
This is why a change needed to be made.
That said, I completely agree with what Vlamr said above:

Four Alternative to current Pub20 BH/Jedi changes (deters griefing and BH still gets Jedi Name):
1) Give us the Jedi name when we get the bio-sig or
2) Give us the Jedi name when we accept the mission or
3) Give us the Jedi name when pro-bot reports back or
4) Give us the Jedi name when seeker reports back
For immersion reasons as well as the fact that I personally like the idea of the Bounty Hunter who seeks to know his mark and his mark's habits and weaknesses, I especially like the idea that the BH should know his mark's identity, if not the mission difficulty.
Part of what made the Bounty Hunter profession appealing from the very beginning was the fact that BH missions were more than just waypoint chasing... and Jedi bounties even more so than the generated NPCs.

yea who cares, isnt the Jedi's reward the best character in the game? Id go overt all day until I finished BH if that gave me the best character in the game
