Everyone knows about the upcoming GCW change, correct? Where the devs have added pvp enabled/disabled etc...and changed the way BH's and jedi fight each other? Well if I'm correct, doesn't the new system prevent gank squads? My thinking is this:
In the GCW revamp, that's coming up (on TC right now) BH's and Jedi (if I'm correct) now are set aside while fighting each other, preventing gank squads. Now, the FD nerf was mainly because Jedi/BH's were feigning and waiting then for a gank squad to come in as help. To get to my point...if gank squads are no more, what effect will this nerf really have other than to destroying yet another smuggler skill?
I apologize for any confusion in this post, as I'm fairly excited, and I hope to prevent an un-needed nerf from raining upon the smuggler profession. So devs, please, if you are going to nerf FD, wait till the GCW revamp and see if the nerf would still be needed

From a BH point of view, the main problem is that Jedi can simply FD and we don't get money/exp, being locked in combat and ganked by a fd Jedi and his groupies is secondary, not the main problem.

I agree, that is a problem. In my opinion, things should be changed back to the way they were, when Jedi could only get Jedi skills. It makes the most sense, because if jedi using non-force skills is going to cause this much trouble for other professions...why keep it that way? Again, you have a valid point, Jedi feigning really goes against what it should be like.

And then you have the problem of Bounty Hunters(not all of them) who will feign when they are about to lose to keep the mission. The way it has been changed now repairs the problems of both sides abusing it on each other. The only other solution would have been to make players of dabling in more than one of the three Iconic Professions(Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Jedi).

well ...
#1 there will still be gank squads. multiple BH can take a mission on a single jedi so BH will group and take the same mission...only the jedi cant get help like the BH's
#2 jedi didnt nessicarily use FD to wait for a gank squad (though that happend alot). it was mainly to prevent xp loss. you see jedi dont get 80%+ comp armor to wear, and when the BH comes, they are usually surrounded buy quenkers and getting a whooping from them

Yeah, and its the fault of the Jedi for getting on the Terminals to start with. Bounty Hunters don't benefit from comp armor, either, as no armor besides Personal Shield Generators gets resistances to Lightsabers. Your argument is flawwed.
