It is true that something needed to be done to fix Feigndeath in PvP combat. But when the Smuggler community worked so hard to come up with solutions, to prevent a complete nerf of their skill, and still the devsdecide to nerf it is completely unacceptable.
Those who think using FD in PvP is greifing or unfair haven't fully considered the tatics to use FD. There are plenty of reasons to use FD in a large group PvP battle, FD can be used to buy time, to get help, to prevent the lose of your buffs. However in a one on one situation, such as the Jedi v. BH situation it is pointless and I would agree that it is an unintended use of the system.
As far as the question of "What BH would hunt a Smuggler who could FD?" Well if BH's had an InvestigationSkill to detect FD, then I think many would take the chance. Plus, they are as greedy as the rest of us, if a Smuggler's bounty climbed high enough they would take it.
What complete ticks me off and causes me to blow a gasket is, that we are being nerfed because of a class which should almost be completely extinct. Lets take all of the Jedi, move them to one server and then incinerate it! I know that BH's share some of the blame in FD abuse, but at least they belong in the timeline.

how can you break smuggler anymore than it is
its virtually void of content
armor slicing should be done by armorsmiths
weapon slicing should be done by weaponsmiths
spice should be made by chefs
and nobody wants underworld
bye bye smuggler profession

Um, Just a thaught here!
My humble Devs!
What is the point of Feign Death of you can be put incapped by useing it? That is the sole purpose of Feign Death, is to keep you from dieing!
If the change is as read on the version thread then, it will take our ONLY USEFUL SKILL...... (WAIT FACTION IS WAY MORE USEFUL NOW!!!) One of our 2 useful skills and make it a moot ability as it won't help you at ALL!
Some how I feel as though right after Ii finished eating the carrot,I got hit with a STICK! Or a bat!
Please clarify!

I might spend time a go threw the post from the DEV
saying FD is working like it should
But you BH CRYED every day about FD
and now u nerf us because your a bunch of cry baby you know there are more profession beside BH and Jedi
But us smuggler have been getting the shaft for a long time
I so sick iof the BH and jedi thing this game would be a lot better off
if BH could not take a jedi mission and maybe then all us other profession might get fixed

this is totally right ... FD is made to escape death now you break it what is the sense of having it in the game? What's the sense of letting BH hunt Jedi? Just make Jedi a Reg proff once you get to it, just with the exp penalty if you die.

Just an Idea:
Why don´t change Feign Death, that the other player wins the Duel/PVP when you go Feign Death?
Both side could live with this. The Feign-Death-User didn´t die and the other player wins.
Would this be that bad?

/clap Well done jedi and stinking bh for ruining a perfectly good smuggler skill. My hatred fro those two proffessions grows further.
Oh and by the way devs. You have once again kicked the smuggler proffession in the knackers with your pandering to the leet kiddies and griefer teengeeks who play jedis and bh.

i don't know what to think
Are the devs just listening to whiners to change the game?
Whine a lot, get it nerfed?
The bad side is that there were TONS of other solutions to "fix" Feign death...
Devs choose the worst one
Maybe the faction cap was the little lollipot to let us accept the big stick that you want to put in our bottom.....
I don't buy it

Now the Devs say that FD was never intended to make you unkillable.
My Question:Is this how it is intended?
If so why do we have a skill that makes FDing more effective.
I am not pissed about the nerf, I saw it coming a mile away. I am pissed that this is a quick fix to stop Jedi and Bounty Hunters from using a skill that is not theirs. The Development team could have taken time and said "FD needs to be changed, but how can we do it so it is fair to the profession we are doing it to."
