The reason their is no exploiting now, is that the Jedi suffer serious xp loss, but they are not motivated to have BH's die, except revenge and roleplaying.

everything that can...will be abused




As long as the jedi and bounty hunter wars continue abuse will continue. SOE just needs to put and end to it all. Then we can all sit back and reminisce about the days of the bounty hunters wars and laugh.






Too often players and the devs have a mindset that professions should be balanced with 1 on 1 pvp in mind. This mindset is ruining the game. The benchmark for balance should be determined by the role a profession plays in a group setting. As long as the current mindset continues we will never see uniqueness among the professions, nor will we ever see individuality within a given profession. We will never see the SWG universe expanded as the focus will only ever be balance pass after balance pass after balance pass.

If you die to a BH, you lose about four to sixhours of work...right?


So...whatever the benefit...the risk should equal or outweighthe reward.


Some ideas:


1) Make the dead BH lootable with a loot table commiserate to his/her rank/level.


2) Grant XP commiserate with his/her rank/level. Imagine if you gained 500k XP for a win?


Right now, a BH can die without losing anything. The only way a reward will work for the Jedi is if the BH faces something nasty for losing...otherwise the system can be more easily exploited.


The FRS might resolve the issue, depending on the role BH play in advancement...if any...

Without using AoE groups, this represents about 4 to 6 weeks of grinding. Full template jedi can get about 30-40k per hour with dedicated solo grinding. 450k at that point is about 12-15 hours (not counting buffing time and such), and it does scale somewhat.

Expect a BH death to cost somewhere around 15 hours for a padawan if grinding solo, though it is about 4-6 hours with an AoE group (more risk of getting back onto the terms with people who follow/ask for group invites/cloak exploit, etc. though).




Good point...4-6 hours if you grind with a competent AOE group (Kamen...). Many more hours in other circumstances...
