Short version: I got a few messages in my guild window that one of our Jedi were under attack and being griefed by 3 BH's. I dislike Jedi as much as the next person but I'll help out a guildie. So I get to my town and one of the doctors in town dragged the Feign Death'd Jedi's body into the front door of the house. The Jedi stands up and bolts inside. So I sit there and laugh when one of the BH's says:
"YOU ST00PID EXPLOITER! THATZ CHEATING!!!! I'M TELLING csR'Z!"
Now correctr me if I'm wrong, wasn't Feign Death supposed to give off the apperance of being incap'd? Since FD gives such an apperance, how can dragging an FD'd player be considered exploiting? Priceless times we live in.

Absent any other evidence (such as a developer statement saying it's an exploit), I'd say you are ok. But the subject doesn't match your description. Clearly dragging a truly incapacitated player is legitimate. It's what the medic skill is for. Should you be able to drag a player who has merely feigned death? /shrug. I have no idea, but since you can, it seems that the presumption has to be that it is legitimate.
Feign Death is supposed to give the appearance that the person is dead, not incapped, by the way.

While I find this idea kind of cheap, I can't say that I wouldn't do this myself one day.
and yes, this is prefectly legit =]

Happy Mob, when you click on an FD player it says "Incapicated". Thus Incap'd, not dead.
I didn't put much thought into the BH's complaints since there is always smack talk, but I figured I'd check it out before loging back into more annoying tells before I /addignore him.

Ha-ha!
I'd say that this is a NICE but CHEAP move and a lot of people will just be upset that they didn't think of it first - definitely not an exploit as each command was used as intended

If the player is incapped(FD/normal) and they get dragged away, there's no way that can be considered an exploit. That's what the ability is supposed to do.
Ignore them and move on. If a CSR contacts you and says it's an exploit, let me know so I can go rant at someone...

That was very tricky indeed, but not an exploit for sure. Those BH were were just very unlucky that a doc would pass by, in his homw town and save the Jedi...
I hope he gave you a good tip for saving him 400k of JediXP!

Go figure. I guess "feign incapacitation" isn'tas catchy.

i dont like most BH at the best of times, aside from a few friends of mine, but thats perfectly legit, i have done it before, saved my friends from a few unfortuante accidents whiel they were FD, heh
even in pvp, and not once, i was called a 'exploiter' only probably during the time when i was a master doc/combat medic at same time, once or twice, but that was quite a long time ago, so im not worried
dont stress about it, its just a whiney BH group who like to grief people, if one BH tries to take a jedi, i respect their courage, when its a gank squad, i turn my backs on 'em.
well, thats my opinion.

i wouldn't call it an exploit, but it is a slap in the face to those BH's. i give props to thinking of that, it's a great idea. if it were an exploit they wouldn't let ya do it when it was during feign.
