Its an exploit plain and simple, report them, screenshot it and then post about it in your galaxy forums to let everyone know they are a coward.

Bingo...if you let your fellow BHs know the tricks he pulls they can plan against them

A flaw in the coding is what allows anyone to duel and db a jedi while engaged in combat with a BH.
There is no logic behind this game, so you can't claim something that has to do with logic
If code is flawed, the guys that you should go after are called DEVs. Why???
Because of their lack of skill to test the game (it should be hired personell, that testthe gameall the day, not the players) before put something on the live servers and they are the ones who are coding the game.

On the other hand, what are friends for? It is good to know your friend will kill you.

Thanks to everybody for the feed back...
However I now am a little confused... what exactly is a 3rd party program, or hardware?
I plan on buying a joystick once I decide to give the space thing a try ... is a joystick a 3rd party?
To me I never worried about this becuaseI thought a third party program was something you "downloaded" or something a hacker does. But now am beggining to wonder if a 3rd party can be about anything?

joystick, mouse, keyboard are all devices used to comunicate with the game in intended ways. They don't do your job for you as a 3rd party program would. You have to use these devices to play the game, however a 3rd party program can play the game for you in many respects.
basically, unless your joystick can play the game without you, don't worry about it.

It's not an exploit. You get paid when you deliver the deathblow.Something similar happens in RL when people fake their own death - to get away from debts, the law, etc.(Ok,maybe doesn't happen so often, except in movies.) If someone else delivers the deathblow, you don't lose the mission (unless it was another BH with the same mission).
What you should really be complaining about is that jedi don't suffer exp loss at cloning-time anymore. Bring that back, and this issue goes away.

hehe what I dont understand is why some BHs spend so much time talking to their marks..I mean why talk to corpses (even if they are still walking around?)
Given em the cold, silent treatment..really unnerves them..specially when you kill them w/o so much as a word (great way to let a mark KNOW hes the mark.)

Ordinarily the answer is "if you have to ask then yes it is" but in this case /rofl
Thats fantastic mate.
No more illegal than getting your little sister to do it.

Amen.
Anyone that considers this an exploit is just upset they didn't think of it first. I've ground out WS twice, as well as AS. I've tried to come up with something to do exactly this for a very long time. Heres to you...

Hell yes this is an exploit. How could it not be? You're using a bug in one game mechanic (dueling) to bypass the effects of another game mechanic (the BH/Jedi mission system). Why would you need a dev to specifically state this is an exploit? Just read the EULA and use common sense.
Report his cheap ass.
not a bug if it is working as intended... which right now thats the way the game is designed, so its working as intended.
What the hell? Did you finish eating a bowl of paint chips? Just because it's coded ingame does not mean it's 'intented'.
