I see the potential for penalties, timers and more that could be introduced to Feign death, so that it would not be abused as a potential PVP skill. From reuse timers, Wounds upon success or more, there are a great deal of options.
I have continually brought this up on the c-forum. I understand your disgust as this has happened to me a great deal as well.
Penalties? Such as HAM wounds? Big deal...A novice medic (a skill that probably 90 percent of all combat players have) can rid themselves of wounds (except BF) in a couple of minutes. An insane amount of BF as a penalty would merely require hopping a shuttle to the nearest populated cantina...Might take a total 30 minutes to recover from that...Add in the uber havla and the wounds can be cured in a matter of seconds with decent woundpack b's....
Timer? A hour such as FoW requires? No biggie...Go eat dinner whilst waiting on the timer, or merely pick on nunas for a while...Only timer worth while would be a 24 hr one, and even that can be circumvented by leveling up on stuff you absolutely know wont kill you. The only way around that is to make every creature in the galaxy deathblow you, would be a ruin for new players....
FD is already a never lose button to all but one profession...The best way to make FD workable and not abused in PvP is to make it a skill available only to Master Smugglers...With a 24 hrs timer, and with high HAM costs...
