I am a bit biased here, but for what it's worth:

First off, the old live TEF system was just as fluid as it is here on Awakening. It was never one system. There were periods of time where things changed as those devs tried to adjust balance, but the prevalent system that lasted the longest was where the Jedi was TEF'd as soon as the BH attacked. Jedi were not able to simply refuse to engage to get into their house. In fact, there was a long period of time where many enterprising BHs used that system in conjunction with a bug which rooted the Jedi in place when TEf'd out of a building. The BH would hit the mark with a droid which kicked them out of a cantina, then would ruin the mark while he was rooted in place at the cantina door. The five minute timer DID exist, but this system where the Jedi could play pacifist and walk into their house didnt exist for any length of time.
Now, when we are considering BH group hunting and comparing that to outside heals, that's a whole different ballgame. Templated Jedi are alpha, no one can argue that. They are markedly more alpha here than on live, especially with the nerfs applied to melee BHs. Just because jedi are hunted in groups does not give you the right to heal your buddies. THAT mentality is the same mentality that justifies exploiting. Anything goes if you are trying to protect your own, right? Ima call bullshit on that one.
What
does give you the right to heal your buddies and guildmates is the fact that devs have stated that is working as intended.
So, that being said, have at it. As hunters we can, and will stack every legal advantage at our disposal to swing the odds in our favor. That is how we succeed. We adapt and overcome. But this notion that healing is "fair" simply because some Hunters come 3 deep when they hunt is false causation. You are comparing apples to ice cream trucks.
The good news? You have the blessings of the server gods. The bad news? Once you are labeled as a jedi who brings heals, we are going to take it to another level. We are going to come 3, 4 and 5 deep, grouped with factioned stackers and healers to heal us while we try our damndest to smash you.
When fire was king, we brought fire and farmed for dots. When rockets were king, we all went commando. When traps were the shit, everyone took an extra tree in scout. Fastblast comes out and the market for LLCs goes through the roof. We will adapt, we will overcome. Heal away, it's all good, thats part of the game. But don't complain and act like you are only doing it because we hunt in groups. Cause let's be honest, Jedi use every advantage they can to win. Do you expect anything less from Bounty Hunters?
