You bet, ifa BH takes a mission and fails it, he/she should lose respect in the bh community, which could be shown by their losing the master box, they would then have to earn the right to take on jedi again from the people who pay...
Make the loss on both sides something not to be taken lightly.

they should make a league table for bh as they should with jedi when frs returns where you gain points for a kill and loose points for a death just press ctrl and something and it tells you the top 20 or something

I believe it should remain to keep jedi on their toes. The situation for young padawans necessitate they take caution. For full template jedi it is still an issue and challenge. Personally, I look forward to being hunted. Gives me a chance to try a new macro combination. I delight in making the BH profession the most expensive one to stay in.

BH should not get xp loss.They are a normal profession. The more some ofyou Jedi cry for things to be easier the weaker they will make the Jedi profession. If no one cried about skill loss Jedi would be able to be more powerful. Alot of you will say"But the grind to get a Jedi is way harder than any other profession",well,no one forced you to become a Jedi. You make it all the way thru the grind to get your Jedi only to complain that it's too hard to level. So they make it a little easier,and make you a little weaker. By constantly crying you are throwing away what you worked so hard to get.

Og course the xp penalty should be mutual to both sides of the BH vs. Jedi adn of course the Jedi should be more powerful than other proffesions. Thats true to the storyline AND true to the work that hs to be put into a jedi grind.

I am a grinding jedi and i think exp loss is a something that makes jedi unique. Ok, it is kinda depressing getting 4 times per day killed post cu. But group vis will dissapear and we won't die as often anymore and bh's will get a harder time hunting us resulting in less bh's and thus less jedi death's. We jedi are becoming more and more a regular prof, don't remove the death penalty. Jedi = still almost1.5 times as strong as any other prof.

I would gladly welcome skill lose (as long as you didnt lose a master box, maybe you could choose the box) If I got to get ALOT more power... right now we are almost a normal profession except we are forced in pvp with BHs, have a higher exp cost, and can go into negative exp. I just want the power to grind solo again, even though im fully templated,and do some good damage instead of a laser rifle being better damage then me.

i think that jedi shouldn't be the only ones that lose xp. i'm not a jedi but have been watching the forums fora while and hear of ppl talking about the fact that they kill a bh then they get nothing. i had a friend ask a csr once why he was being hit for over 5k damage with a flame thrower while in pvp with a bh they said its not pvp because his mission was pulled off a terminal so tech it was pve. ok teriffic then how come jedi don't get xp for killing a bh and if a bh happens to die they should lose double the xp also.
i am a bh on another server and grinded invest up the hard way i earned it. but i now have a jedi from a friend that no longer plays. it just seems fair since jedi get shafted all the time.

My Jedi toon is in hiding until patch 20 comes out. Not that it's a protest or a complaint against a BH, but I figured nothing can happen to him until then. For right now it's nice to take a break from grinding Bol after Bol, could work on grinding something else, but it's still the same grind at the end of the day. Breaks are a lot easier than putting him up on ebay and having someone else take all the glory. Has anyone in TC taken note to an xp loss?

Answer me this, what does the BH lose?
a little decay on the uber elite weapons/armor/junk.
What does a Jedi lose?
1 to 2 days of grinding. Just to have more BH come after him while grinding.
What does a BH gain, by killing Jedi?
money, a lot of it, and bragging rights to say, ohhh, i killed me a jedi.
What does a jedi gain by killing the BH?
More BH after his butt.
where is the fairness in this, I would agree , no more XP loss. Maybe there would not be many BH whining , " oh he ran , and cloaked and hid in his house, then logged off." as it is , Jedi is soooo nerfed, were pretty much the same as any profession, the only difference is, it took us 6 months to a year to get here.
Well if they changed it, i wouldn't even run and hide cause i don't have to fear of losing work of 1 or 2 days.
People complain about coward jedi, but yet they have a reason to be cowards. With 1k XP per mob this is a lot of work while normal professions get up to 7k XP per mob.
