If you are PvPing and you feign death and youare camped by the enemy, is it a exploit to log out?
If you relog in, you'll be covert for 60 seconds, is it wrong to flee during that time?

I really don't know. I'd personally doubt you would be punished for it, but then I'm not in the know on this matter.
I personally would consider it one... but I can't say for sure.

Exploit or not, you'll probably pay another penalty...
There was another thread similar to this not too long ago...and I could be wrong, but I think someone reported FD being bugged for them after the logged back in after using this trick...
Bottom line...they ended up dead anyway because FD didn't work for them until after they cloned...

Worked for me. I logged for about 15 seconds logged back in, stood up and walked away.
When you feign death, you shouldnt let people get off by blackbarring you, i just did this to stop being camped for possibly hours.

Personally, I think this is about as bad as the Jedi using /quit and logging back in immediately to remainwithout a TEFfor the 2 min before /quitting again- it's not how the function was intended to operate. Additionally, there have been a few recountings on thisforum of CSRs arriving on the scene of an FD'd smugg being black-barred and saying "I see nothing wrong here"... I think of the black-bar thing as the price we pay for being able to avoid death, and subsequentally avoid sacrificing PvP rating.
I suggest you refrain from using the /feignDeath then /quit method as much as is possible, if the CSRs get enough complaints we'll get nerfed (again) and loose the ability to FD in PvP entirely! If you need to log out for the night or what have you, go ahead and /quit for the night after letting them beat on you for a little while. Otherwise, learn to /peace first and pickup TKA Meditation 4 to deal with the few people who think camping an FD'd smuggler is fun. Ultimately they will destroy their weapon's condition, and we will walk away with little more than the loss of some time. They dont get to do anything for that time period either, so in essence they are wrecking their night just as much.

Yes feign death gets stupidly abused by GCW PVPers and BH/Jedis, I watched a Rebel FD on an Imp in Theed and logged out. I read about riflemen using posture up (strafeshot or flurryshot) to bring them out of feign death but I had this tested last night and it DOES NOT work.
I'm afraid if this gets abused too often it will get a nerf, and that will suck. I suggest feign death left as is (or changed somehow) and getting moved to master smuggler instead.

You know, I don't think it's bad if someone wants to get novice smuggler, and then pick the smuggler skills they want. That makes the game VERSATILE, and thats one of the really great things here! You can be what you want - within your 250 xp limit.
This is GREAT!
BUT I do agree that FD could probably be higher up in the tree. Should be moved to 4 in my opinion.

If you feel the need to have to stop playing the game because you are being camped? Isn't that greifing?
It depends on what you plan to do when you log back on. If you log back in with the intent of getting healed and continue the fight, it screams exploit to me. If you just want to get away and to continue to play the game elsewhere away from the campers, I have no problem with that.
