You also forget the point about Anakin killing a whole Tuskan village without armor or doctor buffs. You also forget the point that throughout the whole series you never see Anakin nor Obi Won ever get hit with blaster bolts much less anyone less than a Jedi hitting them period. Lastly hard in this instance was a hard life due to discipline and more often than not walking alone.

Dear Jedi's of the community


I would like to remind you all of the risks you take in being a Jedi, and the fact that you are open to attack when you have TEF. Being a Jedi is risky business, so please be aware of the consequences.


Why do I remind you all of what is so pretty obvious?


Well, I recently heard a story from a good friend of mine, who had an encounter with a Jedi. The Jedi had TEF so my friend decided to take him on, they dueled and my friend deathblowed the Jedi.


The Jedi then began to verbally abuse my friend.....


Now I'm not saying that ALL jedi's are whinning gits,


But, if you're a Jedi, and you get attacked and end up being DB'ed, please, don't bother /tell your attacker and begin a barage of insults at him.


just ACCEPT IT and get on with playing the game

Yes we all nowJedi is a perilous road, but others need to also understand that certain Jedi players tend to be very attached to the exp that they gain from the many long hours of solo playing. A player (especially a non BH player) that deathblows a jedi can simply ignore any remarks made by the jedi just as any jedi can remain silent.


Death blowing a jedi with no personal gain to the deathblower to me sounds a bit extreme, possibly baiting the jedi to respond. But since no one can see the log of the incident (who initiated the exchange of words? Did the deathblower mock during combat?), we must assume that the truth is not as you stated but a bit more involved and the blame of the poor interaction of the two probaly lies between them both.

Yeah, I doubt highly that anyone would start a post with "here's what I did to cause the situation" or the like.

I don't think most jedi have a problem with it. They just want the design to be more PvP oriented, especially against melee. It's our purpose, just without the tools to do it.

Game mechanics are no excuse for either party to be rude to a fellow player. All of us CAN do alot of things within the game, that doesn't mean we should.

I will agree that the current system for Jedi PVP is flawed, but this player did nothing wrong. He saw a tefed person of the opposite faction and killed them. Maybe he wanted to see what it was like to fight a Jedi, and maybe he felt that a Rebel Jedi was scum and deserved a deathblow. I am not going to criticize him for that. If the Jedi was actually working towards being an Dark Jedi, it's sort of a shame, but that doesn't change the fact that he was allowed to attack and kill him.


The game mechanics are set up to allow and even encourge players to kill jedi. It was part of a system to keep the number of high level Jedi down. This system having lots of flaws makes this feel like griefing to a Jedi, but it's just part of the system the DEVs set in place for us. To go completely ape-sh*t on a player for doing something that is both within rules, not exploiting, and part of the DEV's design, is just immature.


You knew what you were getting into when you opened the Jedi slot. You knew you were going to have to fight players eventually. To gripe and moan about a single, fair death from one player is childish. Just suck it up and move on. Be more careful next time, find ways to avoid future fights. Learn tricks for rapid escape. Play smart. And when you lose anyway, just accept it. Hell it's changing anyway, why freak out about it?

Theoretically I could go into a club and spray it with rounds from an AK-47, killing everyone on the dance floor. What keeps us from doing things in real life is consequences and morality. Neither of these seem to exist in online gaming and they are heartily absent from most PvP actions, Jedi related or otherwise. PvP is a stress reliever for most people and the fact that you see a toon and not a person makes it feel much more like PvE than real person versus person conflict. The anonymity of the net shields people from being required to account for their actions. Without true consequences for being an **edit**, you will never see a change in the way people interact in PvP. It's not right, but there is nothing stopping or hindering it. The CSRs are SUPPOSED to be making players accountable for harassment, but as we've all seen almost daily, the CSRs are not much help.
