Hello, fellow SWGers... if you would lend me your ears:
I come from the musician forum. For a long time, the "true" musicians have been strongly against using AFK macros to get exp, and I have just recently turned in this direction. As we all know, we can't leave it up to the programmers to fix the community; there's way too many problems and we can't expect them all to be addressed. Anyway, while posting on the topic, an idea came to me:
QUOTE:
"So, what are the ways to remedy this, besides worrying about afk... I don't think that deleting macros is the answer. Macros are very helpful to the typed-ly challenged, and they can make great patterns. I think the best way to remedy this specific situation is to create some sort of searchable base of performers, like the want ads in a paper. Is there any way that we could submit our name, level, and band desire to a machine vendor and have it be accessible like that?
IE:
you email/submit to a vendor
godot
entertainer
0201
create a small band; 2 musicians with equal or higher ranks
then, this translates to
****************************************************
| request |profession|rank | price|
==============================================
|create a small band, 2 musici...|entertainer|0201| 99999999999|
****************************************************
cantina owners could also put requests for bands to play.
and then,entertainers (or anyone)can access these vendors, see the names, and contact them... it increases the fun, the experience, the likelyhood of $$..."
Is such a thing possible? I noticed in vendors that there were items named "*username's* order*" and I also saw order boxes in shops.

There are some who have done this in their shops and cantina's by placing a vendor with chance cubes and such where want ads are placed in the description section of the items. So yes it can be done by player effort instead of developer attention.
