Obviously someone doesn't know what a metaphore is. Excuse me while I go cry to my mommy now because someone called me a noob.

Unfortunately no- not anymore. It used to do it for us. There is currently no way to bring a smuggler out of feign death other then to make him want to die rather then suffer armor loss and black rot (which is considered by the CSR's to be griefing so don't do it)

I suppose im not understanding the idea of it being a grief. If theres no way to get him out of it, what are we supposed to do? Ill explain the reason for the question in the first place:
I am A BH, I hunt jedi. My last mark still had FD from his smuggler tree. Hes a new jedi, but if you get on the terms you are fair game(topic for the BH forum if you wanna flame me for hunting n00b jedi) I track this guy for an hour or so, finally make my move and he FD's on me after i am about to DB and finish my mission. Now by him doing this I can't complete my mission even tho I have clearly won the battle, now im the griefer for waiting him out and continuing to attack him?? It seems to me that hes the one griefing me...I told the guy I didnt want to make this a big thing and I would let his doc rez him if he would just take the DB like a man...but of course he didnt, he proceeded to call me names and tell me Im a noob b/c I cant kill him.He did make one mistake tho..he left his AV-21 out before he FD'd and couldnt store it. I told him I would not destroy it if he came out of FD and let me finish my mission..well he didnt and the AV-21 had to die.

I'm so glad you did that. FD in PvP is extremely stupid. It allows someone to completely avoid death. I know if a possum is playing dead and I pumpit full of lead,it won't be playing very long. FD should just give the "appearance" of being dead, but if you get attacked, then you get attacked.

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently somewhere along the line they changed "posture up" attacks so that they no longer work on a feigned Smuggler.
Oh well. Don't continue attacking them after they feign, because it's really a waste of your time, especially if there are other more immediate threats present. Also, once they feign, you can't kill them, so if you keep attacking them, it really becomes a griefing action, because the only thing that comes of it is increased condition loss on armor and increased wounds. Most of the time, though, they'll just take their half faction penalty for dying, and respawn somewhere.

/agree If anything makes me mad in pvp, its some loser who fights for 15 seconds then runs away activates feign death and sits there for 3 hours until you get bored or buffs run out.

As far as this goes:
1) Jedi should not be a playable profession in this game in the first place.
2) PC Jedi should not be allowed to have any skills other than Jedi skills. They can already run up hills better than a Ranger, heal ALL HAM pools with Jedi skills, and kill anything in the game because there is no such thing as "Lightsaber Resistance". We won't get into the whole "saber block = invulnerability to ranged weapons" thing.
