A good percentage of Bounty hunters are extremely whiny and come with a massive sense of entitlement, just like they were in SWG.

I don't get to manage the Empire's affairs despite being on the Dark Council. Does that make my Sorc pointless?

LOOOOOOL.

I remember when SOE made it hard to team up on bounties and many of the hunters with lower capabilities for ingenuity were forced to go one-on-one with their bounties.

Lots of forum rage.

I remember Jedi tears all over the forum about perma death and pretty much everything else what prevented them from becoming a Jedi Master because... for the sole purpose of stupid luck they should be rewared with the strongest class in the game which can take literally 10 people on with no problems.

SWG would have been better off had they never entertained the idea of letting ANYONE be a Jedi. I loved playing the common pilot, merchant or soldier. There was no need for super-humans.

Perma death in SWTOR might be interesting for class missions (except for that one time with Jadus). And yet I'm sure we'd still have people who beat Act 3 but were superbad

Perhaps it is BH-only, I'm merely going by a few screenshots which seemed to showcase a Gunslinger fighting an enemy, which sort of implied that this event will be open to all players.

Granted, we have next to zero information on what this new Event entails, and I have no idea how much content is actually being added. However, it seems to sort of undermine the entirety of the Role-Playing aspect to have a literal Bounty Hunter class that isn't any more inclined to hunt bounties than a Jedi or Trooper would.

Again, though; I could be reading the situation entirely incorrectly. This is purely an assumption gleaned from a handful of screenshots, which themselves aren't even indicative of the final product. Still, it seems like something that could be potentially devastating to the immersion of the game, so I thought it worth bringing up.
I find it disturbing when someone cares more for others NOT having access then they do for new content... How will others enjoying the content ever have a negative effect on your game??? Go stand in a corner and be ashamed of yourself....

You know, whining about your character being deleted seems kinda warranted compared to the trivial things BHs whined about.

No. Because naming a class Bounty Hunter was a stupid idea. Bounty hunting is something you do. Everbody can do it.

The class is called Bounty Hunter because Boba an Jango Fett are popular.

But hunting someone down can be done by Agents, Smuggler, even Jedi.

I would prefer an Operative-only event - so even Sniper couldn't do it.

Well, obviously I'm in a minority here but I think rotating class-specific events would be a really cool idea.
