You know what, all you guys flaming are the ones that really make me sick when I come to these boards. You guys act like that as a jedi you have the ability to stay safe all the time at a moments instance regardless of real life situations. Sure drop a house, do a quick logout, blah blah. You make it sounds so easy. Obviously none of you have a family or a life because you can't understand where this guy is coming from. I know exactly what he is talking about. sometimes you just don't have the time to drop a house, depends on where your at.although a logout is easy enough to do, so I agree with that one and this guy made his mistake there...but don't none of you guys sit here and try and have us believe that you go into a house or logout at every real life issue.
I just really dislike many of the attitudes of some of the jedi in this game. Your quick to judge peoples reasoning and actions but let the tables be turned and it's you making a mistake (whatever it may be) and you'll be quick to cry about this game sucking and how the devs don't know what their doing.
However, I do have to say that the guys anger is misguided. He died because he knowingly left his jedi (who is vulnerable) unatteneded and got killed. That clearly is his fault and not SOE's. I will not flame him for it like you guys have, it just doesn't do any good for the game, myself or people viewing my comments.
So I sympathize with the guy because I too have left my jedi afk while I attended to my sons needs, answered the phone/door, took a restroom break or made a run to the kitchen because I hate having to logout all the time. My settings keep reseting when I do, plus my cpu isn't the best on the market, it takes some time to relog back in. Point is, it's like turning the car engine off everytime you get to a red light, just plain inconvienant......but at the same time, I knew the risk and this guy should have realized that also. I don't want to die while I'm afk, but it's a game and 400k is not hard to make anymore....heck, I make 1.2 million a day if the group is good....so not a real problem.
Anyway, Maybe he will see that and open up his accounts again later or maybe not. Regardless, all the flames from you guys really shows your immaturity and it's simply not needed to the degree that you guys have went already. Get over it, he made a mistake, go play the game and stop crying about someone else crying about their disappointments....because in all honesty, the lose of xp needs to go. It's doing nothing now but becoming a grieving tool.. Your not stopping someone from becoming a jedi anymore. Your not slowing them down. BH's are not keeping jedi under control or anything. It's simply an old system that doesn't work anymore and it needs to go or make it more than just a grieving tool.
Seriously though, can we stop flaming people just because you don't understand how they feel or what their reasoning was for doing what they do.
Im just telling him the he looks like a 5year old when he whine just becuase he dont want to logout for some reason and it takes like 1sec to do it so you always have time to do it, he got absolutley no reason to start whine about something when he dont want to do anything about it himself.
If he dont want to do anything about it then ha has to live with it

I had 4 accounts between me and my 3 kids that I cancelled because a BH AFK killed me. These have been the only times I have been killed by BH is AFK. 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.
god i hope ur not serious. It would be really sad to see some idiot quit cause he doesnt know how to go afk propperly

It make me sad that he dont want his kids to play for the same reason 
"You cant play because I want to save 2-3secs so I dont logout when I go afk" 
Successful: 2

Fix the system. Stop flying the planes without landing gear. Stop driving the car with flat tires. Stop eating moldy bread. You have the power to get this fixed. My guess is all these posts are from BH that farm credits from AFK jedi.
They can easily put a AFK toggle to let you go AFK from BH only when not in battlewhere you can't be attacked by a BH. If you touch the keyboard or click mouse or execute a macroed commandit toggles off in such a way that you saw it toggle off.
Then you would see lots of jedis afk just to bug BH missions, and why cant you just logout? I havent seen your answer on that one, you dont lose anything if you do

I'm in a awesome grind group why do I have to log out to use the bathroom. Lets say the group is forming or there is a 15min wait until we get started. If I log out I get dropped from the group after a little while. Why do I need to go outside a city .... drop a house just to log out. Plus a toogle wouldn't bug a BH mission. It would simply work the same as being logged out. Once they get your mission then you toggle ... again the same as logging out.
Oh - the next person that uses the word CRY in this thread is admitting to gender identity issues.

if you are at the bathroom for so long that you ato leave the group you just tell them that you will be back and they will invite you again, just ask and they wont say no

Actually this remark I overlooked when I wrote my previous posts, it proves you dont just cancel reguardless of them playning or notand therefore I owe you an apology.
As to getting killed while afk, its a pain but if if you have to go afk in the open that is the risk you take. I myself have to do it sometimes but so far Ihave been fortunate enough not to get a "visit" while afk. That it happened to you on several occations is unfortunate and extremely unlucky so I suggest you write it off as such.
Brush it off and get on with the program, a bad luck streak cant last forever right?
