Thread: Jedi mission terminals (shrines) to hunt master Bounty hunters

A jedi terminal that allowed Bounty Hunters to be hunted would ONLY work if it too were completely one-sided. That is to say that the jedi loses NOTHING with death, but gains EVERYTHING if successful (BH loses skills, jedi gains cash). Currently, the system is really quite unfair.
I'd be happy if they were both balanced to have time as a "blue ghostie" upon death rather than XP loss (even though I'm finished temp and have little to lose anymore). Death for a BH should also mean down time-it certainly does for a jedi.

Bounty Hunter Boba Fett hunted HAN SOLO...not Luke Skywalker
JEDI KNIGHT Obi-Wan hunted Jango Fett the Bounty Hunter
JEDI PADAWAN Anakin Skywalker hunted the nameless changeling Bounty Hunter
SOOOO.... Actually jedi should be the ones with the BH marks.

More evidence of Jedi wanting absolutely anything and absolutely everything in the easiest possible way. Now Jedi say "We are the only ones who should be hunting anyone".

I'm not a BH. I think this idea is gawd awful and rediculous. It should die a flaming death.

All we want is that the balance system the SOE devs initated for our profession becomes REALLY balanced: Either allows us to hunt BHs as well (As a BH collects his opponents lightsabers he becomes famous among the jedi community and he should be hunted down and destroyed) or have BHs hunt us with some risk involved that's all. It would also be logical to have BHs hunt BHs (with success comes fame and with fame comes competition. This is a business and there is no room for every BH to be part of it in the galaxy) and BHs hunt smugglers as well.

I personnaly do love the "one did, everyone should be able to do" argument 
And still no one made any comment about my proposals upon this idea....
Were you only looking for BH to come here and say no with flat arguments? And you don't know what to answer when one comes and says YES with some other proposals? How weird....

Not sure a bug of a bounty hunter is worth a jedi's time, dark or light.
From a roleplaying perspective there will always be scum willing to kill for money, which is why if anything we would go after the cookie jar jar 
If jabba for whatever reason puts a bounty on me repeatedly I as a dark wielder would not turn the other cheek, but instead pay him a late night visit and share my thoughts on the matter. Heck even a pansy lightsider like that skywalker fellow, made his way into jabbas throneroom.

No retaliation likely.
Any kind of light side masters on the other hand follows master yoda's advice and doesn't want to bring any attention to itself at this time.
So, say no to jedi hunting bhs..
Droid engineers however...

It seems like alot of quotes about jedi/sith supposily "hunting" have been from other ep's:
Now what fits in with the timeline at present is
A) jedi order slaughtered
B) Palp and his empire
C) Palp paying anyone to kill force sensitive beings, as they could be future threat to empire
D) Killing jedi takes great skill big reward
E) bounty hunters like lottas money, so they hunt jedi instead of cheap norm people
F) holonet terminals - made by empire or whatever (who is paid by empire)
what doesnt fit in THIS timeline
Jedi being told to kill bounty hunters which would not cause any plus/con in getting the republic back
Republic would have no reason to fund it, shrines into cash points? rofl
shrines handing out pressies? omg kids....
xp? like thats not gonna expliot it
like previous people have mentioned, its just a payback mechanic that SOE would have to be seriously delirious to even consider.

How can I say this......NO! Yep, that covered it. Jedi are an honorable order devoted to serving the force, not hired assissans.

shadow, it is clearly stated that a full templated padawan is 1.5x stronger than a regular player. now that is a real grey area statement. 1.5x greater than which proffesion? right now i am 1.5x stronger than a master artisan with all this crap nerfing on jedi.

Bounty Hunters hunt Bounties. It is in their NAME. BOUNTY HUNTERS.
If you want to hunt players so bad, that's what your alt is for.
Actually, Bounty Hunters were hunted by Jedi in the movies.
This has been suggested only about 200+ times before, also.

>> Vader and the Emperor want all others dead. At least from a roleplaying sense.
Well, from a roleplaying perspective, that is VERY inaccurate.
Imperial Royal Guards are Dark Force Users. The Emperor clone copies of his body are guarded by Powerful Siths on a hidden planet.
In the Rise of the Empire era, there were like 10000 jedi serving the Jedi Council. You can't seriously believe they only droped to only Luke, Vader, Yoda and the Emperor do you ?
Many of them are secretly active, in hidding, and I don't think 10 BHS come at them whenever they chose to ignite their lightsaber or that they are in training on Dantooine killing bols.
