Happened to me. Took over 20min for the second BH to find my mission. I'm Imperial. I deserved it though...because I was taunting the first for not "following through". So she did...20min later...with help from a guildie. Argh.

I had two come for me at the same time. I ended up getting killed because of healing delay. But the point was I think it was just random....not a coordinated attack.

I know, its pure and simple planning. Sometimes it truly is luck (2 BH of different guilds), but if you just keeping pulling missions and keep launching droids until you have a mark on the same planet, how is that an exploit ??

and.......

Same name at the terminal "not jedi name"
Same value
Same faction

Viola!

every decentbh knows this by now.

So no... its not an expolit... But very patient people

This isn't anything surprising. With everyone grinding bols north out of MO it isn't unexpected for people to learn how the terminals work. Here is exactly what the BH are doing to find you.

When you get Visability you get a random number attached to your mission. The mission doesn't state what Jedi the mission belongs to but the number will always be the same until that Jedi is killed. So.. Say you get a Random Bounty for 48,231 credits from a single target individual on the term. That individual will be offering a Jedi bounty. Now, 7 other master bounty hunters spam through the mission looking for the number 48,231 credits. This is done similar to looking for BOLs north. Once, all of them get the same mission they go out hunting for the target.

I believe the current system will pay each of those individuals the 200k+ (1k x SP in JEDI) credits if they are within 64 meters if the Mark dies. So, as you can see.... it isn't any different for them to pull the same mission then it was for them to search for Bols.

1. the terminal system was changed to PREVENT

It does prevent you from pulling a marks name, thats IT, it never was promised anything more... They did say they were TRYING to make it a 1on1 encounter but that was it. If they wanted to PREVENT it, they simply would only allow 1 BH to attack the jedi at a time and the other would have to wait until the one was db'd or dropped the mission.

.... Because of two things:

1. the terminal changes were made specifically to prevent BH from selecting a specific target (normally a low level padawan) and to prevent multiple BH from attacking the same target.

2. using a hole in the system to circumvent theintended mechanics of the game intentionally..... makes it an exploit plain and simple.

if two BH happen to get the same mission unintentionally for example they both run up to a picket lair and see their mark spinning the lair and at that time notice they both have the same mission that IS NOT an exploit its just bad luck for the jedi.

However these people are selecting specific missions from the terminals (they dont even need to send a droid up to do it).

THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SHODDY PROGRAMING TO CREATE A CIRCUMSTANCE THAT'S NOT ONLY UNINTENDED, THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES MADE TOPREVENTTHAT SPECIFICACTION.

you should hit your screen shot button, submit a bug report and contact a CSR each time it happens. The exploiters will be warned and because the temptation is to great they will probably continue to do the same thing. SO it needs to be reported every time it happens. they will then either start punishing the people involved or change the system.

The problem is you cannot be sure, so they will never do anything. I had 2 missions in 2 days where myself and another BH started attacking a jedi at roughtly the same time, and I had never talked to either one of them before, and one was even in my guild !! You just can not be sure that this was the case so there is no way for you to prove this.
