Someone said this was the case. Looking for some confirmation or hopefully some rebuttle of this.

I think calling that souliton stupid insults stupid people everywhere.
The 'Startle Shot Removing FD' idea is probably best described as:
The Olympic Gold Medal Winner of Stupid on the same day as it got both the Nobel Prize for Stupidity and the Oscar for Most Stupid Idea in a MMOG.
If the Dev team's solution to the FD issue to nerf smugglers AGAIN, I think you can pretty much bet there will be a riot.

What they will actually do though is still up in the air. If this is the solution they bring to bear I can only hope the smuggler community shoots it down. Just because it is... for lack of something more possitive to say... a stupid idea.
I concur.

Hey now what if they actually changed feign death so your enemy actually Thought you were dead? Like you activate it just before you get incap, and they DB you, and it shows on their screen that you died...
Then another idea... they could take a chance to kill you, and if you were feign deathing, they'd kill you, and if not... a big penalty =D any ideas for the penalty...

I doubt it. We might yell and scream, or maybe we'll go on patiently waiting for a mythical revamp. Either way, nothing that would really get their attention.
Although an article on Stratics about the ongoing smuggler fiasco would be pretty slick. That'd turn heads.

Or have a random group ofinvincible NPCs spawn around them, Incap, spout things like "doodzerz!we pwnd u!" and continue to tripple cap the guy. That'd be great to put some players in thier place, like people that follow you to mission waypoints to PK you once you get a TEF.

Not like we can do anything about it - if they listened to us, it would be one thing.
I'm still waiting for them to get back to looking at Panic Shot again after the Warcry nerf.

Feign Death is suppose to make us appear dead. So why would someone want to shoot startle shot at us if we are dead??
Get my point devs??
