Buzz. Wrong. A Bounty Hunter's Main Mission is to kill a MARK and get money for it. Not a smuggler. Not a Jedi. A Mark.
If they are going to make Smugglers part of bounties, they need to add in every other class in the game.
But before that, they need to work on fixing Jedi Bounties FIRST - b/c even those don't work - so non-Jedi bounties aren't going to work either.
I'm all for a BH after me as a Smuggler - as long as it works for the both of us, not just me.
So according to you, this doesn't work
Boba Fett = Bounty Hunter
Han Solo = Smuggler
Boba Fett Hunts Han Solo for money
im not talking about in game, in the Star Wars universe, Bounty hunters hunt whoever has money on their head, usually that class is smugglers.
No, you don't have to add every class into it, because we are the real illegal people, other people doing other illegal things would get on this system too (see the revamp idea)
They need to make this one big revamp
classic
'You are most likely sending me a /tell because you cannot kill me. Good job, I hope it makes you feel good. Just know that while you are standing over my body shooting me over and over that Im in the kitchen making a sadwich. I'm thinking I'll go with ham today, what to you think? Well anyhoo it's ben nice being AFK with you, have a good time feing useless. Cheers'

There are two major types of people.The cool people who are giving ideas out that are challenging yet fair, and make the game more interesting.And then the rest of the people who like the ideas, but don't like the challenge, who want the simple way out.I am going to put it lightly. Being a Smuggler isn't supposed to be easy, it is supposed to be a challenge. You have people saying they shouldn't be hunted. Well what do you expect? A Bounty Hunter's main mission is to kill a smuggler and get money for it, we are supposed to be evasive, that is our nature. This isn't supopsed to be "Oh I'm a Smuggler, I can get away with anything and hide from anyone."And people with the auto-pull...yes, I can see this is an issue, but comon, it isn't the biggest problem on our hands. If you are going to be slicing just fill your inventory to a point with WUKs and Tools. Complaining about it isn't going to solve it.People on the Feign Death Nerf. You argue that you use it for PvE and it is awsome, heres the problem, this isn't just a PvE game, PvP is a major part in it. you can say it's somewhere between 50/50 or 60/40, either way, as to those who prefer PvP over PvE, or vice versa. The Devs have to make their decision to try to balance it for everything, and whining about how it will turn out doesn't get the Devs to work faster. We will just have to wait and see how that one turns out.Thats all I can think about right now for this rant, maybe more later.
Great post.

Weaponsmiths sell weapons pre-sliced for the most part, and the spice market is just plain dead. Frankly, I'm just a pistoleer with a few extra moves at this point.
That is the way I look at it as well.

Hehehe very nice
I'm somewhat like that, but most of the time I prefer telling them one thing, then doing another. 'Have fun black-barring me, I'm mowing the yard.'If they move off, I shoot them in the back of the head, if not, then I make my sandwich, go out and get a drink or watch a movie.
bahahahaha nice.
I usually tell them something like 'enjoy blackbarring me & degrading your weapons. I can meditate afterwards, can your DOT weapon?'

No Boba hunted Han because he was a smuggler how FAILED. he lost his cargo AND was not able to pay Jabba back not just because Han was a smuggler. If you want to hunt smugglers for smugglers you need a new profession called Cop and Corsec faction to hunt criminal faction
Yup. Just like in THIS picture, I went AFK and watched a movie, played some XBOX. Let them sit there and waste their time. I was being constructive with mine.

I don't care for forced PVP, so if BH is after me, Feign Death time. I have an alt account. I'll just alt-tab to it and wait out the BH. Plain and simple as that. I'm a patient man. Look how long I've been waiting for Smuggler to work!

Smuggler need a re-vamp and included in that re-vamp should be risk vs reward. If you steal your cargo, if you slice in bulk you go on the BH term, its that simple. Other professions dont need to be hunted.

Boba Fett Hunts Han Solo for money - this is only one mark in a galaxy of 1000's of marks.
im not talking about in game, in the Star Wars universe, Bounty hunters hunt whoever has money on their head, usually that class is smugglers. -- i want Smuggler on the BH terms as bad as anyone but point of fact even in the SWG universe Bounty Hunters hunt anyone with a price on there head, not only Smugglers. Its not about profession its about money. Smuggler work for the underground so unless they screw up or steal from a crime lord they tend to not be hunted.
