How about a combination of some of the ideas that have been posted....

A system that lets you earn a scalable salary, has a mini quest type feel and has a more passive feel to it. In this system we are simply letting players control their own buffs/healing from us.

Picture this... You enter a cantina and start dancing or playing music. Instantly you are able to heal yourself. After about five minutes of dancing a popup comes up saying something like, "The manager of this cantina would like it if you could entertain here for the next ten minutes. The people here could use your help getting their day's troubles off their minds. Would 500 credits be acceptable as payment?" If you clicked yes you'd be able to then start healing other people's minds and would recieve 500 credits after ten minutes of entertaining (basically the entertainer missions we have now). After the ten minutes come up then another box pops up and asks any novice dancer/musician or higher, "The manager of the cantina loves what you are doing here! Could you maybe stay another 20 minutes and help people that come through prepare for the days adventures? Would another 2000 credits help you decide?" If you clicked yes you'd then be able to start enhancing minds with your dance/music.

In a system like the above you could also add in things like playing higher level songs, using higher level effects with a quest type feel. For instance the manager asks a master musicianto play virtuoso for a 1000 credit bonus... Or a master dancer is asked to dance exotic 4. Also a time limit could be hard coded into the cantina so that all healing and buffing would not be possible at that cantina after a set time period (as well as income missions stopping) A dancer or musician would then have to change cantinas maybe every other hour or so to eliminate botting entirely from the process but allow like minded groups of friends to travel together to anothre cantina.

And why should they not be allowed to? Did you pay their 15$ this month? No.. I did not think so.

The is nothing wrong with the current buff system for entertainers. I have a Master Musician/ Master Dancer alt. hes makes decent money when i bring him out.. Afk or at comp. He does ok. But the me being there or no should be MY choice, not that of you faciests. I think before any changes are made the opinions of the player body at large should be heard. To bad for you that the majority of players like cheap, convientent buffs, avalable when they need them, not when you find it convienent to be avalable.

That is a very cool idea Reachwind. I love it.

If you open the window for the argument, expect it to be argued. I think the window idea to be a bad one. It would make it mor ecomplacated to get my customers buffed. I think the system is good as is, but there need to be special new incentives for not being a buff bot.. IE an automatic salary or other such system, or give special bonuses to atk entertainers. Cheers.
