Some people don't like to PVP as much as others. How about an option to receive player or NPC BH's stalking you when you haveenough visibility to get on the BH terminals.
I love my jedi, albeit a bit weak from what I had hoped, and I love getting badges and doing quests and missions. Though I'mnot too keen on PVP, especially forced PVP. I really don't enjoy the interaction between the sometimeshaughty BH's that come after you (and overconfident jedi too =] ): the name calling and such, it's just not good gaming experience. I have been killed by a bounty hunter, lost xp and chatted and joked about the fight after, rather than ranting like a child. But the death threats and filing of complaints that I see other jedi/BH do ... it's just not good for the atmosphere of the game.
In my eyes, it would be fun to havea NPC bounty hunter, similar maybe to an MBH boss mark or so, to pop up at an unoppurtune time, whether or not I can actually get loot from this encounter wouldn't ruin the fun of teh experience. Also if you lost xp from the NPC bh you could blame SOE rather than a character on the server where you bitterly remember his name and hate his guild and send him spam with your alt.
This would be inline with the galactic war 'Combatant/Special Forces' idea. I thought this was one of the best things that happened to the game, since I was able to participate in the GCW without the fear of being confronted by .. well... just about anyone witha gun since I'm not too good at PVP.
ok guys, flame on =/

Just remove the now well and truely dated and unnecessary insanely high XP loss and I dont care about forced PVP. Especially against MBH/MCM templates that are more powerful than me.

Seriously, 1 hours worth of grinding isn't insanely high. As for the mbh/mcm templates....well, I think we just need a boost in power, that's all.

there wouldn't be so much of a problem if everyone wasn't a bh either. the template of choice is a ranged template. and it will be worse now with the new SL changes. removing xp loss would be the easiest solution to it all

Jedi vs BH hate will never completely go away, however it could be lessened. There are limited ways of doing this:
1) Remove xp loss alltogether. This would eliminate approx 50% of the hate. Most of the hate from the Jedi side. However there are BH's that just live to cause exp loss, so their hate would increase, skewing the balance somewhat. At this point someone will speak upreferencing the 'risk vs reward' equation. I submit that RvR (and not the DAOC variety) is really not a factor in SW:G.
2) Shut down SW:G/Remove Jedi/Remove BH's/*insert other unworkable idea here*
3) Revam....um....I'll have to make a separate post about it. It's a huge subject by itself.

You seem to forget the 15 minutes yelling "looking for group" and the 10 minutes to find the right missions in the right direction and the 15 minutes spent yelling "looking for group" when the first one you joined disbands because the leader has to go eat dinner and so on and so on. I don't doubt that you can theoretically grind 450k xp in an hour, but reality for me is quite a bit different.
