haha, what else have you done?

Jedi have almost always been, for the most part,a paranoid, and fanatical bunch.

The resaon for the behavior is simple, if you consider the gameplay they are subjected to for months of grinding, always looking over thier shoulder.

You'd be paranoid, distrusting, resentful, and downright psycho too.

Don't hate the players, hate the game, or at least the devs who designed this wacky system in the first place.

I was shopping for foods one night outside of theed, it was pretty late, bout 2-3am on a weeknight and out of the blue as i'm passing some houses I get a tell...

"Have you come for me?"

Didn't know who the person was and didn't really care. Figured they were Jedi and were sitting in their house when I passed by, I was a bit tired and frustrated because I had spent the previous 2 hours looking for foods i couldn't find, so I ignored him.

Couple of minutes later I get spammed with.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

"LOLOLOLOLYOUSUCKLOLOLOLOL"

Umm, yeah, OK.

So I go back, about 1k meters now, and WP his house, and when I get back to kadaara for the night I hand off his name and house WP to another BH.. Four days later I get an email with a link in it. He was killed by the BH I gave the Info to.

I don't do a lot of Jedi hunting, honestly. I've hunted 1 or 2 Jedi that irritated me, but beyond that, I just don't mess with that part of the game too much because it doesn't interest me. (I'd rather be hunting for loot.) But this Jedi got wasted for basically being a silly ass. And I also decided that names need to go back on the terminals for this reason.

Sad that it works that way, but in any game where u pit 2 classes against each other the way BH and Jedi are its gonna happen. I think a simple fix to it would be to give xp debt back to jedi upon PvE death and remove it from BH death. That way the jedi still gets progression slowed but does not lead to this kind of treatment of another player simply because you chose to play a bounty hunter. It would make the fights more fun because then the jedi would stay and fight instead of doing whatever it takes to get away and avoid the debt and it would reduce the friction that exists betweed bh and jedi.

Ok I am BH...

I have killed around 70 jedi of which the majority were cool.

However today blew my mind.

I have been running NPC missions all weekend (my friend wants some cells for a LBC)

So I am at a shuttleport, and my girlfriend come home early.

I hit my duelest maco (the only repeating macro I have) like I always do if she comes home while I am playing (I always like to greet my girlfriend after she gets home, and see how her day was)

However, to my suprise, when I come back about 30 minutes later I have recieved 12 hate tells, 15 /duel /endduels( some from same players) and a city ban.

Now i understand that banningis part of the game... and the ban really does not bother me one bit.

However, I do believe it is sad that jedi will duel / endduel then give you the "who are you after tell" and when they get no responce (because I am not even at cpu) they send hate tells and give a city ban.... When you are not even hunting jedi

I mean realy has it come to the point where I cannot run a macro to keep from logging without getting hate tells and a ban?

(reply to blue)only if players like yourself keep posting this dribble on the forums.

and that also goes for jedi (or any profession) doing the same.

NO CAPTAIN, I SEE NO SHIPS JUST HARDSHIPS **R.I.P SWG 26/04/2005**

Do you want to know something dumb? I load in Theed and go to the bazaar to pick up my crate of booster blue and there was a group of Rebel overt Jedi nearby and without noticing them two of them sent me a /duel /endduel. That is how paranoid some are, I only have one profession master after publish 9 conversion and I was carrying a lightsaber with street clothes... Even when I am on my main character I get asked in tell "are you here to kill me?" while I am holding a powerhammer with a Teras Kasi Master title.

that's pretty dumb, only time u get banned in my city is once you initiate attack or we know you have a mission. and the only reason we ban ya is we dont want'ca runnin on us

I got a city ban once when I was shopping for foods. Just so happens that some guildies were working over some Jedi when i was there so guilty by association. I really needed that Pikatta pie

ownd

There is still alot of tension since the CU when every Jedi went on the terminals in those days. And yes, we do get paranoid, but for good reason. We get used to watching every blue dot, and sometimes purple for those who STILL hunt their own faction, and wondering if it's a BH coming to play. I have had 7 BHers come after me in last 36 hrs. 3 didn't want to take me on, 1 of them dropped me because we had a mutual friend, and the other 3 wanted to donate to my pvp score.

If you were in a player city of opposite faction, it might of had some Jedi grinding nearby. In early pre-cu days, we had this along with people standing watch telling us who was coming. Most of the time, anybody blue was a BH coming for us. Standard procedure was to ban all blue on sight and start determaining who the bounty was on. In some places, this kind of security may still be practiced, but obviously that was extreme.

Nowdays myself and others I am with don't worry, those who don't want to be hunted usually stay off the terminals.

i would advise u get a better afk macro.
