I have found the "Mark Of Honor" quite rare in this game.
I completed the quests last night. I found the Mark of Honor not more than 30 seconds after logging on. I jumped on my bike, 3 red cons appeared on my screen an voila! 3 Pirates.

Ah, I see.
Sorry hadn't had my morning jolt of caffeine.
I have noticed that people where a combat class tag are ruder and more childish than those wearing a scout, ranger, medic, doctor, etc tag. Bounty Hunters seem to be the worst sort of player when it comes to helpfulness, kindness, etc.

You should ask him fro some credits, he would probably go way 
Nah, it is clear he was a competly newbie player, just be patienet.

I made 350K credits tracking the boar and pirates. As for the farmer, I never found him using areatrack. I happened to run across him as I was heading to Mos Espa because I gave up searching.

Congrats,I'm glad you were able to finish. That sort of thing is really frustrating.It's happened to before, so I know where you are coming from. I had someone "assist" me on Test Center last night with the FS quests, and now my whole quest seems to be borked. Ah well...
Congrats again. You handled it like a Ranger should.

I send him a tell asking him to leave the area. He says no, he wants the Mark of Honor. I tried in viegn to get him to leave the area long enough form the Mark to reset itself. I gave up, logged off, my hope of getting the final piece of the Mark of Hero dashed.
I am willing to help anyone, once I get my quests done. Just beware if you are attempting to track down the Mark NPC's.
Khar,
I lauged so hard.... great story !!
You did the only thing one could do.... leave or log-off.
/hugs
Ps, I must give the newbie recognition for his persistence... even though it was futile.

i have a sneaking suspicion. can anyone verify for me (as i'm presently at work) the the moisture farmer and female BH can indeed be tracked? i have found both, but, as with others, i stumbled on the farmer while running a tracking pattern nad in between /areatracks, and the BH i had wp's for, so i didn't think to test either of them. it is my suspicion that these two quest npc's won't show on /areatrack, but the pirates and boar will. and i kinda think the pirate leader won't either once he turns white. if we could clear this up, it'll at least save us some grief by informing the public that we can only assist in the 2 missions.

yes, the pirate i know can be tracked using /areatrack. it's the farmer and BH that i'm questioning. although, i know the BH is of little importance since we have the wp's. 'tis all but a theory....

I successfully tracked the Boar on 4 different occations finding about 12 of them. I tracked the pirates 2 times, one for myself and the other for a Wookiee I stumbled upon in Tat.
The tracker I came across by accident... so, I'm not sure about him.
Ultimately, I have not even attempted to track the BH as there are too many poeple roaming around doing the mission... When the interest fades I will attempt to track the BH.
I have, no doubt that there's would be any problems finding the BH with areatrack.... I don't se why it shouldn't work.

You can track definitely track the moisture farmer - I found him this way myself. He looks like a normal npc moisture farmer on areatrack (ie., "<npc name> (A Moisture Farmer)").I think all of these 'can't track' storiesare complete BS. If they've spawned, you can track them.

You do know that the BH spawns at 6 different waypoints right? All I did was wait next to the waypoint in Mos Espa (one of the least populated cities) and voila! I log in right next to her. Did the mission, got the badge.

fellow rangers, allow me to reiterate:
i have a sneaking suspicion (not a BS story). can anyone verify for me (as i'm presently at work) that the moisture farmer and female BH (just these 2)can indeed be tracked? i have found both, but, as with others, i stumbled on the farmer while running a tracking pattern nad in between /areatracks, and the BH i had wp's for, so i didn't think to test either of them. it is my suspicion that these two quest npc's won't show on /areatrack, but the pirates and boar will. and i kinda think the pirate leader won't either once he turns white (pure theory, haven;t tried). if we could clear this up, it'll at least save us some grief (this is all i wanted to accomplish, for us all)by informing the public that we can only assist in the 2 missions (pirate leader and boar, wp's for the BH are easily available).
but, are you 100% certain that "if it spawns, we can track it"? if you tell me so, i will believe. i've not had reason to doubt this, and don't recall seeing a thread on that particular subject. this is the first instance that i've actually thought to ask the question. forgive my ignorance.
