I'm getting better tips now, and messages like "keep doing your good job, u ents are very important". Before the CU nobody told me that I was important

ok, that's it ....

I'm seriously thinking of packing Deli'ah's bags and moving to your server.

Hmm tips, post CU tips, well let's put it this way. I can actually count on fingers of one hand how many times I got tipped since CU

I guess my server is more shell-shocked then the rest.

As a non-entertainer....who spends most of his free-time in SWG in theed cantina, you can be rest-assured that if you are ATK, youll get a 5ktip from me.(I'd tip more...but to both my delight and distress, there are so many ATK entertainers sometimes that it hurts the wallet, to tip more than that).

Though Upia, after last saturday, I think you are setfor the next 5 preformances(When I see you again).

I see the importance of entertainers....both before and after the CU...it really didn't change much for me. You guys and galscan't entertain after all....without an audience

. That's me!

A friend of mine and I went to Coronet last night and had a tip contest for some fun, to see who could get the most tips...

It was really fun, but we both ended up with about 40k after a few hours of dancing, so no one won

I've been traveling to a few different servers lately but most of my dancing has been on Tempest. I've been making about 60k a night since the CU went live and I'm not very high level there (andonly a few friends knowme). People seem thrilled to death to have someone acknowledge them when they come in. I'm still healing BF pretty slowly(I shouldbe able to train

to 0243 today).

I'm with Deli'ah in that tips have definitely dropped off on Shadowfire. However in the past few days it's picked up slightly so maybe people are finally recovering. I've also tried to be a bit more vocal on the Shadowfire server (yeah I know that's shocking) so people are a bit more aware of the trials and tribulations on the entertainers.

I don't know why there is such a difference between servers. But, since the CU, Kettemoor has become so nice. Most bots gone, rarely any spammers. In fact, now that the non-spammers have a majority in the Cantinas, we are repeatedly able to successfully harass the spammers into submission. Some remove it from their macros, others run off crying. Either way, the objective is achieved. As for tips, I can't speak for everyone else, but I have seen a huge increase in number.

I was just marvelling last night - I stopped to dance for a couple of minutes at the mining outpost on Kettemoor to inspire a friend and myself. I made 25K in tips in 5 mins.

The trick as said above really seems to be politelyacknowledging people when they come in.

I think the CU has really made the game more social and requiring more character to character interaction.

Let me just reiterate since this has come up numerous times before. Both Deli'ah and I (and other live ents on Shadowfire) are very personable and greet each and every person that enters the cantina. Depending upon their response and their character style I'll engage in more conversation as well.Getting tips really is very much server dependent. I've noticed this every time I have played an entertainer on another server.

That's very true. I was fortunate in that Kettemoor was one of the last servers to succumb to buffbots, and it seems to be one of the first servers to clear them out.

Shadowfire may just be slower than others, but I think the trend will eventually happen as people realized the uselessness of spending $15 a month on a bot that is no longer needed.

It's sort of like, at the height of the buffbots, it used to rile me up when people would say that I needed to interact more...basically, telling me that I wasn't good at what I was doing. I mean, really, it pissed me off big time. So, I believe you, and I would never assume that you aren't doing what you are supposed to do. The fact is, your server, right now, hasn't yet "caught up." But, I really do think that it eventually will.

I was only an entertainer for a few weeks before the CU came out, butI'd say that the amount of tips I'm receiving now is about the same as before.
