Proposal
I understand that once a Jedi gets on the Bounty Hunter (BH) boards, they are always on the boards until a BH kills them, no matter how high or low their visibility. Everything else fluctuates depending upon the visibility level, i.e. attacks by NPC, ability to use public transportation, the bank, vendors, etc. As a Jedi reduces their visibility, it should also affect the BH in some way. I have never played BH so I don't know much about how they could be impacted. Some suggestions would be making it harder for the BH to find the Jedi by having the droid that is launched malfunction or give false information. I believe at some point the name of the Jedi is revealed. Don't reveal the name if visibility is low. Have the Jedi's listing on the Boards become random, or reduce the bounty. BH are given the ability to pull a Jedi from their home when visibility is high, give the Jedi the ability to instantly escape when their visibility is low.
Justification
One of the goals of SWGR is to keep the game somewhat realistic. Common sense seems to say that as a Jedi's visibility goes down it would be harder to find that Jedi. This would also put a little bit of a challenge in the game for BH and to a very small degree, reward the Jedi for keeping their visibility low which is the general philosophy of the game towards Jedi in keeping their numbers low. The Jedi's visibility probably won't stay low for long because the game has been designed to make everything a Jedi does increase visibility. For example, initially creatures did not give visibility, but now they do. This by the way is not very realistic at all. Creatures would not be able to report a Jedi. After a Jedi does one of the Heroic instances they get enough visibility to have the NPC start attacking, lose the ability to use public transportation, etc., and get on the BH boards if they should be off. If a Jedi goes through all the trouble of losing their visibility or reducing it, there should be a reduction in the BH's ability to find them. As the Jedi's visibility quickly increases again, the BH would be able to find the Jedi as usual.
Motivation
To keep the game "realistic". There isn't a problem, just an idea to add some realism to the game.
In the interest of realism, when a Jedi reduces visibility, it should be harder for the Bounty Hunter to find them.

I think certain planets should have more then one way to get to instances. Too often I have seen BH use guild discords to camp locations jedis on the boards havr no choice to go to. It's so incredibly easy to set up a gank squad. Perhaps set up things like HK Droid factor etc as spawning at the beginning of the instance instead of in Mensk

Consequences should be both sides though, as for the timer. This is the very reason why devs said they increased vis in instances so jedi wouldn't farm instances. Longer timers with reduced vis would cover this.

As for Consequences, what can you possible give jedi who already got ungodly amounts of things already to them.

As for BH penalties, all it means is they couldn't bounty hunt for 18 hours. They can still use there characters so this isn't really a heavy consequence.

As for rewards for beating a BH, what could you possible give that will remotely equate to some of the 5 million plus bounties.

Fez I actually have respect for you, you are the only one who even bothered to open a real discussion up. Everyone else was you know what you got into and the other tired worm out arguments.

You know what Strawberry he was pleasant and gave you the reasons why your suggestion to punish BH's is wrong and just like you coninue to do you ignored it and plowed through. I have tried to help you in DM's and others have as well. I am done trying to help you and to be blunt it is completely your fault you keep getting on the boards and killed. You just don't like it and continue this circular arguing garbage for 5 hour stretchs on Resto discord which went on for 3 days until you get got warned there and so you brought it here. The only tired worn out arguments are your childish temper tantrums at this point. When told it wasn't going to change you said you would post every day until it does. That is a spoiled childs response when he can't get his way. I have never spent more time trying to help someone than I have with you in Dm's and such only to have you continue this ridiculous garbage.

Oh and I think your bounty was 320k - not even close to millions you like to spout off about

Lol you call me childish yet yiu are posting kills, you havd provided absolutely zero to this conversation outside attacking me.

This is player voice, Fez asked for suggestions yet you have provided zero and have keep attacking me. Grow up, you don't even have the balls to attack a jedi unless you have help. No wonder why you don't want it to change because your not good enough to handle it. I have stopped being nice to people that just want to bully.

You want me to post our DM's along with all the suggestions from this thread, the 5 hour marathon resto rant that went for 3 days and all the suggestions that I and others have made to try and help you? Anyways I am done trying to help. Others can take over because this is pointless. (posted the kill so you could see the bounty amount, not millions)

Only three people have bothered to make none attack comments, and that was Aconite, Fez, and Ghost in DMs. Maybe inflated of attacking me try and actual productive dialogue
 
I am done, its not worth the constant attacking I am getting, please don't respond to this. I am asking you to stop. Only a couple people want to actually work on changes. its not worth it anymore. I have advocated enough, but my voice is falling on deaf ears and its not worth it anymore,
