Would u leave urself AFK as Special Forces overt in Bestine spamming
a "Down with teh Empire!" Macro and expect yourself not to get killed?
Same idea, dont leave urself out in the open. Find a large bit of water
and swoop out into middle and stop there, hopefully u should be outwith
rifle range and u'll find a very cranky BH when u come back.
Either unpack a house and plop inside or hide in a big puddle
I approve of this method, if for nothing else, than to make more of a fool out of yourself in front of anyone watching this completely mindless act, good stuff!

Other players can get up and use the bathroom, answer the door, get a drink or do any number of real life things that take them away from the keyboard for a short period of time. This latest BH was hitting me for 300 points of damage while I had no Auraor Valor running. This guy would never have a chance against me otherwise. I wouldn't mind the kill if it didn't damage my gear and cause me to loose 300K of XP.
There needs to be a mechanism to let me go AFK when not in battle to handle real life issue. So my 4 accounts were Station pass accounts. So I apply a $80 penalty to SWG for unbalanced game dynamics.
ps - my kids didn't play that much anyways since they have started school.
unbalancing the game? you leaving your character AFK and unattended is not the most intelligent thing to do when Jedi are able to be targeted and teffed into a fight at any possible moment. You knew that. You didnt guard against it. Its your fault and really...not the brightest move. Thats why there is a death penalty in the first place. "population control" and it seams as if you have been controlled and manipulated into quitting the game so....they win..we win..you lose. Im a jedi myself but Jedi with the attitude you have on "fairness" and "game balance", need to be erradicated.

Your best bets are to have a house you can set down or /logout. My tactic is to set down a house and /logout that way when you come back your chances of finding a BH camping your logout point is minimal.
You have to realize these MMORPGs are filled with jerks like some foundin this very thread. If a BH sees you AFK sure they will attack. It is a rare honorable player who won't attack. The type to attack you while you are AFK are wimps to begin with so consider the source and cover your bases.
I always find it funny that people have this misguided notion that bounty hunters are supposed to be honorable. As far as u going AFK in a public place where u can be killed? Well. Everyone else has already said it. Get over it.
Regardless there are people behind the keybaord who have honor. I have met plenty of players who play BH who have honor. One in particular even tips his mark credits for speeders he may have destroyed. The point I was making to the OP is that he needs to watch his back and not expect the kindly BH. BTW don't put words in my mouth. I did not say they were supposed to have Honor. I said it was RARE.
In this case, I assume honor replaces mathematical intelligence.
If you have played long enough to become a honorable jedi, I'm sure you have familarized yourself with /logout (hell, you even mentioned it) and it's 30 second timer. If this command is too hard a challenge to use, there's another command (a button really) that you can access from the launchpad, called "Cancel subscription". This button will end all your horrors and you can go chat on aim with honorable chitchatters for hours on and on.
Jedi who go afk instead of logging out and then proceeds to whine about getting killed are one of three things:
- Ebay-lot
- Rryatt-kiddie
- Heavily intellectuallychallenged
It's not my intend to flame here, I simply wish for you to understand basic game mechanics.
I find absent guardians of peace to be dishonorable.
You are posting to the wrong person. I am not the OP of this thread. The OP of this thread is over-reacting as far as I am concernedbut I see no use in flaming him for not using /logout . I am sure he has figured that out by now after wading through the countless flames. No?

afk = Away From Computer not Away From Combat
Actually afk = Away from KEYBOARD, hence the K and not a "C".
(sorry couldn't resist)
to try this
, Only had 2. Mcarbs who was on me before i knew it,the fact a bol lair cant KD me was the tip off.
And a MCM who walked right up to me in MO and slapped me with the
states, got as far as the gate and turned to face him. Got a saber
hit before i died
Saying that i wasnt really bitter about either of em, the MCM was
taking vengeance cos I was attacking his bases the day before
Anyway u dont go AFK when in the middle of a fight with Necrosis
do u? Or when your fighting Acklay? So you dont do it when your a
jedi. Expect to be attacked at any moment. Have everything prepared
to fight or run. If your stupid enough to get caught dozing then accept
it. Grind as hard as u can, remember the BHs name and when he's overt or
comes for you again. Pwn him good

Ok, so BHs get you while your afk, it is not really fair and frankly is a pain in the ass and I do understand why you would want to quit if you for one reason or another have to go afk with seconds notice sometimes.
Here is what I DONT get, what kind of father are you when you take away somethingfrom your kidsthat they enjoy, that they each in their own wayworked just as hard for as you did for your jedi. In my book that makes you even worse than the BHs who killed you, at least they were only doing their job.
And yea, I am a father and yes I do have a jedi myself.

Rofl, man I dont want to be rude or so but do you know that you can logout and log in your alt if you are going afk for 5mins or so?? You dont lose anything by doing it really. I myself have only been killed by Bhs when Ive been afk and it is MY OWN FAULT
that I left my char ig when I want to the toillet or so, Im even online with him now when Im writing this message and if I get killed then I shouldnt really complain, should I?
So this is only your own fault and you should deal with it, /logout isnt really that hard to write...
