Need a dancer buff? Good luck finding one.
Need a musician buff? Good luck finding one.
Need battle fatigue healed at 2am? Good luck getting that done.
Need an entertainer at all outside of Theed and Coronet? GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE!
Oh, and for the few people who have figured out how to get a doctor buff on a macro, they'll be gone too!
Don't forget the combat macros that you use! Without a /ui command or a /macro command, you'll be putting on your armor one piece at a time. Not that it matters much with the delay now.
Anyway, this post is for people who think eliminating repeating macros will only affect entertainer professions.
YOU will be affected by this.

So does this mean no more CoB macro? If this is true, then that is horrible!! I don't care if they remove it for the afk game.....I understand that, but please allow CoB to continue to re-apply itself ifwe can't have a macro for it.

This is good news, but this fix doesn't really effectthat many people now that holo grinding is over. It will be nice to walk into a cantain and actually see entertainers playing rather than afking.

When this goes in I doubt anyone will ever be able to get their battle wounds healed again, especially anyone who plays off-peak times.

I believe this is a key point as well Bryan. There needs to be some accomodations made for players who play at off-peak hours. There needs to be a way to heal up when no one is around.

I don't mind this... in fact it won't even effect me 'cause I never used the macro. If you can't make a CoB macro where it will continually apply CoB without you having to bother pressing a button more than once, it's not gonna kill you. Just gotta reapply CoB whenever it wears off manually...

There was a similar thead on the kettemoor forums that I also replied to. Basically, while this would be a huge hit, I can just as easily make a repeating macro as I can a macro that would last 10+ hours. I'm not sure what the limit is for a macro's length, but if you effectively use abbreviations and other things, even a one- to three-hour macro. Just make the base macro itself for /center;/pause XX, then copy/paste it until you ahve, say 10 minutes, then copy/paste that 6 more times to get one hour. Again, I don't know what the storage space for a macro is, or if you can get away with a longer one by making the macro in notepad outside of the game, but lengthier macros could still be made.
P.S. if anyone DOES know the limit for macro length, please let me know.

I think we're getting more love in those mini publish than in ALL major patches since the day I started to play.
no more AFK ?
no more afk/spam
no more afk fighters
no more afk slowpokes docs
only people who PLAY the game, did they moved back christmas to summer, without telling anyone ? it's better than JTLS !

You know, I saw alot of replies in there from entertainers. One, we have the option of dropping our novice med, pick up entertainer, heal ourselves, redrop and pick back up novice medic. OR
Option #2 ( and makes far more sense ) make cantinas slow heal, just as NPC medical centers are. That would put entertainers in the same boat as us medics.
