With the dumbing down over Jedi since the start of the CU, I think we have a valid argument for a severe cut in the amount of negative XP you can get into. Of course it can't be removed completely, otherwise Jedi will just lie down and take a death when a Bounty Hunter attacks - or agree to take a cut of the bounty to not put up a fight.
To be perfectly honest, the whole balance of risk versus reward is totally out of whack these days. We have penalties that when combined, sure as hell aren't proportionate to our supposed 1.5 strength.
Changes are most definately needed.

What about the opportunity to convert +4mil Jedi exp in +1 perma-regeneration and -4milJedi exp in -1 perma-regeneration?
This will help getting out of the hole with some con that you can eventually cancel with further grinding. This can be an option on the trainers.
btw, I support the -4mil / +4mil caps.

When you bring this up to the devs do you think you could hit them up for a raise in our max banked xp?

The way it used to (read: right after the CU) was that any XP lost due to BH death (when they DB you and whatnot) carried past 10mil negative.
Example: I am at -10mil XP. A bounty hunter deathblows me, and I go below that to say -10.25mil xp.
Under old rules, negative XP did cap at 10mil for cloning, but since the only way you lose Jedi XP now is from BH death, it seems there is no cap currently.

I reach -11mil and never bothered to go beyond knight in the FRS.
The cap before the CU was -10mil, Know that for a fact. After the cu think the cap was removed or all jedi now fall threw to council leader's cap by default since the frs is inactive.
They should remove -xp or do something similar to CoH. jedi are now equal to non-jedi in abiliitlies and any skills we have that other classes don't have are slowing be given to the non-jedi class anyway.
Just having the high xp needed and the longer time to get novice jedi should be sufficient.
Also jedi/bh releationship should be ended. It no longer does what it originally intended and just promotes animosity between players.
Make if a volentary system if needed but remove the force pvp.

The DEVs should make the XP to +10mil and -10mil
Its only fair for us to keep some XP for the next NERF

The true "intention" of the BH/Jedi relationship was to promote enhanced interaction among players ie additional content through a player bounty system.
There is a common perception that this relationship was intended to "limit" the Jedi population through xp loss from BH deaths, when it was clearly stated by the devs that the purpose of BH xp loss was to prevent the farming of credits by BH and Jedi that might abuse the player bounty system.
Certainly handing out holocrons, and the many other subsequent dev actions related to the ability for the player base to acquire a Jedi have shown that limiting the Jedi population is not their true intent.

I think having a cap remotely in the region of -10 million is absurd. Especially when the positive cap is 4 million. Outside of the 340k combat experience needed to gain MBH, which in turn gives you a cap of 900k, no other combat profession in the game allows you to cap more than 2x the number of experience needed for your highest box. This in turn would make you think that perhaps the caps should be placed at 6/7 million +/-.

LOL!!
This is too funny Bacciaca asks 2 simple questions and out of 20+ people I think 5 total answered him. The rest of these kids pull out their soup bowls and start begging for gifts! This proves so many of my points, now I will wait for Jacella to post her sermon.
