knowing that all you are going to get out of the death is some armor decay and no money isnt enough. bh should end up on the terminals to be targets or at least on the shrines as targets for jedi after x amount of failed missions. at least the bh would either get better at his game or would be better prepared for the win. since jedi got nerfed below some bh, why not make the bh look over his shoulder? the only problem is that what if a bh pulled his own mission? hari cari?
just a thought, what if the bh that kills the bh target gets to loot one item off the dead bh?

There's a thread about this every time a new padawan looses to a BH...
True, I'm done responding to these.

Having player induced penalties in games such as this will always cause friction and hatred between communities, and its part of why the community is in the poor state it is now.
Instead of punishing people for bad play, its always better to reward those for good play (a concept seemingly above the comprehension of a SOE dev 
) That way, the lack of a reward becomes the penalty, but in turn you don't actually lose anything.
) That way, the lack of a reward becomes the penalty, but in turn you don't actually lose anything.For this situation, all of your suggestions make little sense. Is the person who placed the bounty going to pay the jedi for living?
Instead, reward the jedi for winning, something like, 1000xp * cl of the bh awarded to the jedi for killing the bh would be an incentive for many jedi to stick around to fight.
Alternatively, bringing a bit of roleplay into it, as the force binds the universe together and passes through all life, when the bh is killed it leaves behind an object 'essence of the force' which can be applied to a crystal or pearl and would give a slight chance of tuning higher. Maybe even the more force sensitive the BH is, the better quality the essence is.
I'm sure as a community we can think of rewards which aren't too unbalancing to reward a jedi for victory rather than call for nerfs and penalties on other professions which in the end help no one, as it ends up as just yet another swing of the almighty nerfbat.

I agree with you Davie
The BH wouldnt be paying the Jedi, the jedi after killing the BH would get the bounty that is offered from the terminals. I would be up for any reward however for a Jedi for winning a BH duel besides just surviving.
