The PvE XP Loss Removal was actually removing the Cloning XP Loss.
So, the Only time you lose XP is from a BH DB (that has your mission). XP lost is 2000 x SP's used in Jedi Skills. Plus there still seems to be a 50k XP loss if you use the Enhancer Revive Abil on yourself.

Actually it seems to be (2000*SP spent on jedi)+ a bit based on visibility, and some other factors.

There is/was also recently a bug relating to having an inspiration buff. Some folks have lost an additional 10% of their XP upon death when they had inspir buffs at the time.

Unfortunately, I don't have any good news for you. About the only way you can get good xp is to get agroup of about 5 jedi together and have someone with a good area attack just stand in the middle and make sure you get a hit on each of the kills. This unfortunately will still get you visibility, but at least you will be (hopefully) gaining faster than you are losing. The onlly other alternative is the slow way which is just to go get missions of your level and try to kill them yourself.

^ What he said.
Get grouped with some big ranged types, stay 32m away from em, get one hit in on the critter, then watch as your buddies bust a cap. You'll stay vis-free.
The other, more ballsy alternative, is go ahead and get vis. Invest what little jedi XP you have in some healing and/or defender, and put all the rest of your points into an elite ranged class like rifle. When the BH shows up for you, whip out the T21 or Adv Laser, use your healing, and light his @ss up. Def/Healer will make you better able to cope with the firefight than he will be.

The only adviseI can add is to try to level on Kashyyk ( tracking droids don't work there).

I have read all over the forums about xp loss and -xp due to BH kills on noob padawans. If this is the case then why not make the jedi profession a more soloable class. Everyone knows that a noob padawan cannot do enough dmg to even kill anything at their level unless they drop almost all of basic professions. The main problem with this is if for some reason you do end up on the terms you have no shot in the world against a BH due to combat modifiers based upon level. If the paddies can solo and stay hidden until their template is good enough to go head to head with one BH and either win or lose based upon their tactics then the Paddie killing would essientially stop. I am a noob Jedi with x2xx def and x2xx sabers with master doc and 21xx TKA. I got my first BH today but he warned me ahead of time and wanted to fight and if he won I paid him the amount of the mission and if I won he dropped it. I was lucky to have a BH that just loves his profession. Unfortunately I will not get that evertime. I think that there needs to be so many points into Jedi before showing up on the forums. Lets just say 100. Thats under half a template but if placed right they can stand a chance against a decent BH. I think that the xp loss should stay in the game, but I believe that the paddies need to be given a chance and have a decent template before they are ganked by 5 BH's a night. As it stands now all of my BH friends will not take a mission over about 70-90k creds b/c the jedi is too powerful for them. So that does not leave much room. I even at such a low lvl was a 46k cred mission. Let the Flaming begin.
