Well, it doesn't bode well for Smuggler and Feign Death in PVP.
Straight from Taurin when I asked about an exploit Carbineers and Rifleman can use to pull us out of Feign Death:
"Feign Death is not a PVP move. Never has been, never will be, sorry."
So yeah. I'm kinda disappointed and now I most DEFINITLY don't have ANY faith in the Developers fixing Smuggler's Dirty Fighting Combat tree ever.

I contacted Thunderheart for a 2nd opinion.
I also sent a PM back to Taurin and nicely asked him if he had ever played a Smuggler in PVP.

So, did he completely ignore the whole "carbineers and rifleman are exploiting" part?

Apparantly so...as what they are doing to get us OUT of a Feign wasn't happening like 2-3 months ago.
I told Thunderheart it is "disheartening to hear this", and wanted a 2nd opinion.
Really it both pisses me off and makes me sad that they give out excuses that 2 professions have a skill that exploits a bug in anothers combat defense skill.
If Feign Death is for PVE only, then we need a move that is for PVP only that is equal if not better.

That makes me a saaaad panda.....
(god damn i loved that panda from south park, enver cracked up so much before)
still feign death should be a pvp skill, least imo...... Just i think they should alter it a wee bit so most will only use it as a last ditch attempt at survival.
but please explain.......

wait wait wait, pulled from feign death? what now?
Carbineers can use posture-up on you and Rifleman can use Headshot3 on you to pull you OUT of a Feign, and instant-incap you.

Well the sad part is, the rest of the developers besides Taurin have always said Feign Death was broken in PVP...
So from what I gathered from Taurin is either he has no clue what he's talking about, has NEVER even PLAYED a Smuggler in PVP, or basically is taking the "we can't fix it, so rather than do so, we'll give up and give a poor excuse" route. Which of course, is the MOST disheartening thing this week.
Just when Jump To Lightspeed was perking up my happiness towards the Dev Team too...

Dude..I was so looking forward to getting my master in smuggling. But this is very unnerving. If there is a bug the dev should fix it. Oh well I will still keep grinding away.
