Oh...you're laughing at me cause I don't know how to write good macros not to tie them up I know it!
well maybe you can help workout the kinks....and any sugg's to ensure I'm able to be buffed by others would be appreciated.

This does allow me to stay buffed all day but darnit it locks up the buffbot....
I wish I could write better macros but I pay my money and deserved to be buffed while I'm AFK.

wha???
you want a macro that will allow you to get a buff and then hunt and you're worried about upsetting the afk buffbot because you tie them up by being in their group all the while you are also afk and at work...
Does anyone even play this game anymore??
Goldy.. I thought the same thing the first time I read it.. then I read it again because I was a bit confused. Then I realized.. he's funny!

Oh if anyone could possibly point me to a server with any buffbots that offer particularly good services I would appreciate that as well!!! Let me know where I can usually find them as being a noob can be rough and any help would be appreciated!!

Anyone in the Hotel I should be looking for? Thanks for the support all!! Keep this thread rolling I work days and need to be buffed....I also like to start alot of new toons....I'm very indecisive....one day a Twi next day a Zabrak....I wish I could make up my mind.
I'd like to get a feel for the different servers atmosphere as well!! My toons may not move much but they will be buffed!!

I would like to recommend that after you return from your extended AFK and are happy with the services provided to you by your friendly BuffBot, please don’t forget to take a moment to send her/him a thank-you e-mail expressing your gratitude.
I have noticed many time how much pride Bots take in the thank-you e-mails from the community and claim it is the only rewards they get for their hard work while they not there.
Btw keep us posted on how it went, I dare to foresee you will be a super star of your server and Bots owners will be fighting for you favors.

You all rock!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the ideas on how to better treat them.
I just thought I should point out that I could see how some people could misconstrue this as a case of me creating different toons periodically on servers to lock buff bots down so that they can't service other people and to be as annoying as possible to them. So for example...if there were a particular buffbot that bothered you on your server in a public cantina and you told me about it you might be thinking...."Great!! now he'll show up to be a nuisance to the buffbot".
To this I can only say everyone has their own interpretations and if that's what you think well there's nothing I can really do to change that perception now can I?

Just a side note..
Being a new player to the game, you may not be aware that mission payout and difficulty is pretty much based on the combined skill level of the groupmembers and their equipped weapons. By teaming up with several bots at a time, you could increase your mission payout tremendously. Do keep in mind that these higher paying missions will also present a higher level of difficulty. However, considering your groupmembers are helping out with their high quality buffs, this will likely not cause too much trouble for you!

Also, remember that being a group leader carries with it a heavy responsibility! If you have taken two or more of these angelic, selfless paragons of cantina service under your wing, make sure you pass the torch -entertainers *hate* not being in a group and will complain if you leave them stranded. So be sure that one of them gets the leadif you decide to leave...

Oh I would think not..most of them I've seen keep saying to send them an invitation to your group. They've probably helped other AFK players out this way
