A far worse exploit would you not agree? And one almost every BH used almost every time back in the day.
/duel is not big thing, he knows you are there, he's just confirming what he already knows... Try better tactics at stalking your prey.

and on this note there are so many more bugs which needed fixing before this one!
Correction, if the Jedi knew that the BH was after him, he'd be running. Using the /duel exploit just gave him the advantage as the BH no longer has first strike capabilities(our main advantage)
That being said, yes there are more things that need fixing, but this should have been a very simple fix, so why not fix it now, after all it is a bug, one that a lot of BH have been whining aobut for a very long time.
Yes as both a jedi and bh i agree it needed fixing. And it should be an easy thing to fix. From my BH point of view yeah great about time but from my jedi's point of view jedi get no love at all, there are so many fixes needed to that profession. (like heal bug) Even though jedi has to be the biggest profession now it does seem all the love goes to the other professions.

Any w00t for SOE managing to address a bug for a change!
1 down 1000's to go...

Not all Jedi run. You know that. I used to sit in my guildhall and look afk just to let BH after BH come to attack me. They would think I was afk, walk around me a sec and as soon as they attacked and it warped us outside, I'd root and finish them on the guildhall steps before the root wore off.
I don't see the /duel as an exploit. I see it as "jedi intuition" knowing a BH is there for them. So technically there is no advantage. The BH should have already hit the jedi before he has a chance to use the /duel command.
Most BH's today are so cocky they just waltz up and try to take them w/ no stealth first strike. At least thats how its been the past few weeks (even before pub 24). Any pre CU BH will agree with that.

I have replied in earlier threads stating that the duel bug had been fixed but no one listened. /sigh
If you read above .... it really has not been fixed.

Before all you BHs get too happy here is whats going on.
The /duel will not "work" while in/on a structure. Meaning for the OP since the jedi was in a house the /duel didn't show. However from what the word is, if both persons are out in the open the "You cannot duel this person because they can attack you" mumbo jumbo comes up. So its not gone per say. Just situational.
I hate the fact all you label it an exploit, I hope you know it wouldn't have been implemented had the BHs not exploited the /duel in the first place. Have a nice day.
