For those that read my sarcastic ridden piece, it wasn't meant as a bash against live entertainers. It was meant as a bash against those who support and condone AFK play of any kind. I have as much of a reason to hate AFK entertainers as everyone else. Night after night, my gameplay was utterly destroyed by buffbots eventually leading me to walk away from it. I missed it so much that I came back to it on a different server. I've got plans already to come back to entertaining on my main character soon.
For those that read that post, my apologies for making it sound more like pro AFK. That ws not my intent. I have been a strong (yet hot-headed) supporter of ATK entertaining and I will always be.

I jumped to that conclusion, seemed like it was Pro AFK entertainment, and was looking for it to be squashed before it got into a flame war.

Three cheers for satire! Very nice, hun! Right up there with Swift.

Well, it seemed obvious to me that it was satire. It was kinda too far fetched not to be, imo.
Then again...I've certainly heard some crazy ideas in the past on these forums. haha
At any rate, the people that you were trying to make a point to probably didn't get it anyway.

if it's about your last post on the dancer forum, I understand how you feel. however, please give your corrs and dev some time. rest assure that they (along with a few other of us) are fighting for the entertainer's best interest 
while you're entertaining, remember a few thing: the most important thing in this game is for YOU to have fun (without intruding others), stupid people happen, and /addignore is your friend

Nobody here questions the dedication of our Correspondents. We know they are doing everything they can, and I think we can count ourselves very lucky to thave them.
It's the complete indifference of the Developers that's the problem. The Corr's can rave, rant, and beg for us to be noticed all they want, but I think it's sufficiently clear by now that SOE doesn't give a damn about that.

"Stupid people", eh? How am I supposed to /addignore the Devs then?Don't get me wrong- ingame I have as much fun as ever, it's just all the crap going on out of game that really gets on my nerves and ruins my mood. The latest example of which would be the introduction of a "player event perk" that makes live musicians finally obsolete when it comes to providing entertainment at events, and takes away the last thing we had that allowed us to separate ourselves from AFKers. Who will want to hire a Master Musician band for 2-3 hours for a few hundred k, when that band can play exactly 11 songs, and they can get a cheap metal box for 25k, that can play 29 songs for 8 hours??
My remarks in yellow. Sorry for going slightly OT there at the end...

I can't blame them for some of their decisions as a team, even on the ones I don't agree with. it's their business, and while us customers are here to provide feedback they ultimately have to make decisions. the devs have promised a revamp before, and I have no doubt they'll deliver one
the devs do care, they just don't go around posting it

True - point taken. Ultimately the point of this game for SOE is to make money, and rightly so. However, I find it a bit disappointing to see that so many of their decisions cater to a crowd that's the most likely to leave anyway after a few months, when they've killed everything there is to kill, and got bored of running around with their Jedeyes. We as entertainers may be a minority, but we're a minority that's likely to stick around forever if shown some consideration. But long-term customer satisfaction (no matter for which profession, or which game for that matter - you can see the same principles at work in EQ2) doesn't seem to be a big priority for SOE...

Well, I guess I'm a bit more cynical about that - but I'd be happy to be proven wrong
