I personally think the doctors have gotten out of hand. I am a master doc on the intrepid server and I offer 2 sets of buffs when I am at work. 1 set 2300's for 10k and the other set 2500's for 12k. I offten run specials for my buffs I will offer FREE buffs for the umf-teenth customer in line or price war other docs to try and drive the prices down (business is business, I got kids to feed) As a doc I have never had any problems with people complaining. If you are having a problem with a client you need to take control of your area and force the people to wait their turns. I have a set of rules for buffing some are displayed in my macro and some I just use for my own sanity...


1. You will be buffed in the order of your BANK tip.


2. I will notify you when you are the next in line (if I am not too busy so don't ask)


3. CASH tips are considered donations. (dont ask for a refund if you can't read the post about cash buffs)


4. Privet text messages are not allowed/ignored unless it is a good question.


These rules help keep order for me when I am buffing and most people leave with a smile on their faces and return again later if I am still on. The fact of the matter is you need to take charge. The people that come to you want buffs if they are to much in a hurry to wait their turn they can go find another doc. I feel MY prices are fair and provide my clients with respect and kindness as long as they do the same in return, but let them get mouthy with me and I will not waiste my time and move on to the next paying customer.

I believe that many are greedy within our economic system. Whenever I had my businesses and when I was a doctor, I would produce and sell goods and services so that I would make a relatively lowprofit margin. Although I realized that many people were ultra-rich and they would be potentially using this against me in some fashion, I chose to be optimistic about my honesty and in doing so, kept a long-lasting andreliable clientelle all throughout my businesses, who came to me specifically because they realized others were taking advantage of them. Honesty is a better policy than taking demanding a huge profit margin simply because you can.
