New "Bounty Hunter Event" isn't BH-exclusive?

To the OP set aside your concept of Bounty Hunters and focus on what the job actually entails.

Now consider characters from the Star Wars movies and EU that classes in ToR were based on as examples.

Darth Maul hunting Jedi and Queen Amidala.
Obi Wan and Anakin hunting Dooku and General Grievous.
Military special forces tasked to bring in or take down enemies of the state with overwhelming force (Havoc Squad).
Clandestine operatives tasked to bring in or eliminate enemies of the state through more subtle force (Mara Jade).

Boiled down it's all the same with different intent.

So glad no one makes major game decisions based on RP.

Before they released the game they said you would have a limited of 5 dark/ light jedi per side on each server max.... then christmas happened.....

It was a trade off for being by far superior compared to any other class and could have sparked an ongoing competition to be one of the 5 (see above comment) on your server. We all know what became of the complaining... jedi = starting class and lost any special thing apart from an optical glow stick. Congratz on that part... not to mention that bounty hunter couldn't even hunt jedi in the beginning because terminals wouldn't give out names and jedi player had a head start. They also cried all over the forum about losing xp due to a bugged sight view by npc which put them on the board but had no problems posing as padawan in bestine in from of the starport... .
If I remember correctly.... permadeath was only permanent if you would die more than 5x a week which was increased the higher you got and any jedi player always could log onto his second character to undo his fault.

I second this. This game needs neutral classes. Although, that would be funky, what with not being able to chat across factions and whatnot.

This *thread* is pretty pointless. Every class in the game kills for credits. Every. Single. One.

Every quest you do, that has a 'kill x number of this or that' is a 'bounty'. It's a job you do, and get paid for, that involves the elimination of some number of beings.

So, the 'class unto itself' argument is simply invalid.

That would be stupid of BWEA to do that.

This isn't SWG and that's a terrible idea for THIS game.

Single-class would be far more devastating to our forum immersion, with 50 pages of griping per second.

Just a poorly named event that's all. Should have called it Bounty Hunting event. It's for all classes and once every month , so 1 week of every month.

Its called "Bounty Contract", how is that poorly named?
