I know that after friday we are going to see a lot of carbineers and pistoleers striving for master bounty hunter and i'd like to give you all a little taste of what you poor people are letting yourselfs in for.
First of all, you got the weapon xp, pistol carbine and llc... they are all easy enough and you may start thinking to yourself "hmmm this isn't so tough stupid MBH's and their whining" Then you start doing the investigation mission. getting to invest 2 is not so hard once you know what you are doing and can handle about 50% of the missions being bugged and non completable. Then you get that long stretch from invest 2 to invest 3, here is where the fun begins, imagine spending on average 45 minutes doing one single mission for a tiny amount of xp, imagine spending half that time waiting on shuttles, imagine finnaly chasing down your mark getting to that final waypoint and finding..... nothing. Image that the scenario i just showed you happens 75% of the time, and you might spend a whole buff session completing one or 2 missions.
So big whoop you just made it to invest 3, YAY you think to yourself i can hunt jedi and get the xp from them for investigation 4 and master, wrong again. Lets take a typical scenario of a jedi mission.
1. You spend 30 - 45 minutes waiting at the terminal for a jedi mission to appear.
2. you take the mission get the bio sig, launch the probe droid and find out they are on say.... dathomir.
3. you get to dathomir and find the waypoint a little outside of the outpost
4. you launch a seeker and find that it is showing you the same waypoint.
5.you arrive at the waypoint and it is empty, you will then send a /tell to the jedi and find out he hasn't been on dath since he logged in a few hours previously.
6. Rinse and repeat above process for 90% of jedi missions, and expect them to be broke like this for at least 75% of the time you play as a jedi hunter.
7. If for some great reason you manage to track down the jedi without droids, chances are he wont even have a TEF so will be unattackable.
So for those carbineers and pistoleers who have grand ideas of hunting jedi, having fun and enjoying the bounty hunter profession... welcome to our profession, and i hope to god you have the stamina to endure what so many cannot.

It gets worse once you get master BH...you have to spend hours hanging around the BH terms in Kaadara with people like me and Wiggy 
Its almost a social event on Eclipse...just hanging out, hitting refresh, waiting for the jedi missions to pop then climbing all over each other to get to the mark first.

Investigation isn't so bad if you take your time. I didn't get too many bugs. I had maybe a 90% success rate to MBH. If you're grinding to get it done in the shortest time possible it can get kinda angrifying though.

I am goingMCarb/MBH.
I don't want to but I am doing it out of principle for the game I thought I was playing.
My new motto is 'If the Empire won't hunt the Jedi to extinction, Iwill.' I am going to get a like minded bunch of individuals together and make sure Jedi don't dual in starports anymore.
Too.Many.Jedi.
