I would ignore somebody who thinks throwing half a mil around would get him attention, I meen please, who's going to give 500,000 just to get in the group? What if I had to kick somebody to invite 'em? Am I that desperate for money? Heck no! I would look like some kind of mizer if I reached for that.
Though one time this guy came in and said he'd tip every atk dancer 10k, I was a little skeptical and didn't outright reach for that, but I laughed at his "lol darn I'm out 20k" and was given 10k just for responding. That was kind of cool actually. Nice guy.

Okay going on subject here, my server is Wanderhome, and I generally only play in MO and Coronet cantinas. Afkers? Almost 100%, but that's only because the high number of atk dancers are too greedy to logoff when they're done ATKing. I show my anger at this method, but I keep them off my ignore list because they ARE pretty nice to be around when they're actually there. Hab is a great example, he's ALWASE ALWASE ALWASE in coronet cantina, but you never really know when he's actuallythere... He could be ATK one moment,then stop responding in the middle of a conversation, then be back, but remain quiet... watching us... (eeree music) /mood shifty

well you don't have to accept the money or grant them an invite. But a simple response of "our group is full but so and so might be leaving in 20 minutes" wouldn't be too hard to manage.

I used to travel around to various cantinas trying to convince people it was far more lucrative to be ATK than be AFK and macroing for a tip. I'd start with a simple "hello" in spatial and invariably get no response from any "entertainers" (though occassionally I'd get one from a patron in the bar). Then I'd try sending tells to all of the entertainers. A few times I even sent emails letting them know that the time was now X and if they responded before Y I'd send them a 50K tip. I always went home with a full wallet. /sigh

I find it interesting how one sentence can be taken out of the whole and misconstrued.

Roho didn't walk in the room and start throwing money around - I realize you don't know him, but that is not what Roho is about. We both asked at least a dozen times for invititations into the group - who were VERY vocal in spatial and obvious ATK. Not a single one of them acknowledged our existence by being polite enough to even explain that they had a closed group.

Roho didn't really expect to get a response, btw and he certainly didn't expect that someone be kicked by the group to admit him! That idea would never even cross his mind. He was more making a point that they were so caught up in themselves that they were rudely oblivous to anyone else - other entertainers and patrons alike. Funny thing is that they responded to a couple select friends who showed up during the evening.

Sigh, thinking about it, if there are less people coming in to the Cantina people who afk grind are going to have even less incentive to be atk if there are no people coming in to chat to.

I did take my Dancer/Musician into Coronet and Theed just after publish 20 on Kettemoor. Only live patron I saw in Cnet was a Jedi who ran through as a shortcut I think, a couple of regular old customers did go in to Theed though and chatted about the old times with me which was nice. But yes most of the entertainers were afk. Depressing.
