hehe I only have enough skill points to do the knowledge line, so definitely. I dance to have fun, not to buff fighter folk who would rather go to a buffbot.

I would but would not want all my skill points tied up in it then either. It's something that's been playing in my mind for days

i still think dancers and musicians should be an integral part of a combat group. in some way they should be able to affect "morale" and performance of a combat group in the field. not sure how it would work under the CU but somehow the entertainers should be included as a neccessary party member for a group to be successful in hunting large dangerous things.

Of course I'd still dance, play music, and do every other function of Entertainer I do now. You see, our healing and buffing abilities have already been usurped by AFK'ers and buffbots, and I still Entertain now. So it really wouldn't matter if healing and buffing were removed from Entertainer altogether--it could only be an improvement upon where we are right now too, because then the bots would disappear (not having a purpose in lifelessness anymore).

Do I really want to see our heal/buff abilities go away? No, of course not. Unfortunately we need to have some sort of way to earn money...not that we're able to make a living of it with all the AFK's out there right now anyway....

Well with mind enhancment tapes going for millions of credits per point in pretty much all galaxies I'd say this is the perfect time to dump buffing. Keep healing, keep some of it, but get rid of buffing. While buff bots can also heal, they're mostly just for what thier name implies, buffing. Take that away from us you take a small portion of the live game and the vast majority of the afk game away. People will still put an afk guild bot in guild cantinas to heal mind wounds/BF, but the public bots would all but disappear. After all, they're just there to make thier mains money, and people aren't going to tip the bot near the same for just healing, when the money dries up, the bots will go with it. Would some live ents quit from the loss off game dependance? Maybe, but less than will be driven out by the bot army I imagine. I think we should, in order to salvage what little "game" we have left, start begging, pleading with the developers to take this burden from us. Hell, give it to the image designers, another check box "apply mind buff", can't afk that, and devs can even set the time they want it to take. Buffing isn't working for us, its only making our game time worse, will we get anything in return for loss of buffs? No, not for a long long time. But what are we really losing?

YES. Because I dance for fun. If others benefit, so much the better. (I guess - I'd starve if I depended on tips from others.)


I very much enjoy making new dance routines and designing dance costumes to wear.

If I did keep dancing, which I can't be sure of, I would be using a lot less skill points (0040 as opposed to Master), simply because you only pursue the other three disciplines to become better at healing and buffing. I also think this would make our profession even more useless, and people who were pure ent without an alt would have NO audience and NO way of making money.


This is not an acceptable option, in my humble opinion.


My two creds,
