Thread: The Official reason Bounty Hunter TEF's where removed
"The reason they gave for the PC bounties were removed is that it promoted a bitter bitter rivalry between BHs and Jedi. I never was a Jedi, but having run BH missions I was upset to no end when I track somebody and find...a generic small house and tells respond with /afk message. Also they want the focus to be on the GCW and having parts of you population angry and upset they can't kill each other because the other is an exploiting **edit** doesn't really build a gameworld. So yes some people enjoyed that, but howmany people avoided teh BH/Jedi forums because of that."
So basicly the BH vs Jedi TEF where becouse Bounty Hunters and Jedi whined too much about killing eachother, and SoEwanted toGCW as the endgame instead of focusing on just 2 professions.

It took them 2 **edit**ing years to realise that.
If you like the excitment of "casual PvP" or be "hunted". Go Special Forces and start jumping from planet to planet. You will get your excitement I assure you that.
I personally like the idea of removing the profession conflict and reintroducing the GCW. I remember back when the battlefields were used to focus the GCW into a spot where the effectiveness of the battle could be measured. I love the ideas of moving the GCW into the cities.
I've accepted BH's trying to kill me, well because that was their job. Now I look forward to the good fight. Long live the rebellion!
exactly. it will make people go overt now

Actually msnil, it was because of your carebear kind of PvE BS is what lead to the loss of player bounties, now that you've done that you and your pve groupies can loot in peace and all be 99.9% clone population of the game since jedi is a starter proff now, aren't you proud?! no risk ? now you and everyone can hold a LS without any BH Excitement or surprises.
Instead of nerfing our profession i.e BH why don't you purpose ideas such as when becomming a jedi you had a choice to be on the terminals or not...Message Edited by battledroid01 on 11-05-2005 02:51 AM
No, it had to do with all the griefers among the BH population, the ones who did it just to grief, not to complete a mission.
And being able to hold a LS without some the annoyance of pesky BHs is going to be absolutely wonderful, look forward to it.
