On a closely related note: Why wouldn't you be able to? It's not like Doc buffs last forever, not to mention they disappear the minute you put your critter away.

you can what they are looking to fix it the ability of docs to grind xp by having a pet called, buffed, then stored. So when it gets called the buffs are gone and the doc can grind xp endlessly by calling and storeing his pet.

If you ask me this fix will beyond the dev's abilities to code easily so they wil hot fix it by makeing it so you can't buff a pet or ignore it.

They changed it so docs couldn't get xp on healing damage on pets, why would no xp for buffing pets be harder than that?

Of course the sensible change would be to not kill the buff when the pet is stored, but keep it on a timer, since the pets auto-store from code bugs so often anyway and trash all your careful planning of food/buff combos before entering battle... fixes 2 problems with one code change.

OTOH, a PC can do this same thing to give docs med XP.

Doc buffs PC, duels PC, DBs PC, PC clones, rinse, lather repeat.

It's essentially the same "exploit". Or the standard way for medics to get med XP: heal a dancer over and over again in the cantina in Coronet or Theed. I got most of my med XP for the CM climb by tossing AOE stims in cantinas. If you time it right, 1500 med XP a stim toss.

The catch in this scenario is that there are less expensive (in terms of resources) ways to get med XP. Why they took away the med XP from healing creature pets in combat was an utter mystery to me...well, not really. It's part of the CH hate movement that has overridden what lame logic circuits the devs ever had.
