Thread: The quick (and simple) solution to stopping buffbots

actually its more like 10 friends & the guild of 200+. I'd say I'm doing group buffs of 20 people several times on a nightly basis.
We're PvP'ers. If you've got a player travelling halfway across the galaxy for doctor buffs I'd call him a moron.
We've got a collection of supplies collected for the guild doctors. They are equipped with buff packs. For PvP these are provided free - at all other times the guild member is expected to contribute (resources, money, time) as 'payment'.
Crafter alt (money), Doc alt (buffs), enterainer alt (buffs), PvE alt (loot)
I'm seeing players with any two of those alt chars available to them. Service industry. We want PvP you want RPG.. they dont mix terribly well.
And - as a guild we do pay a live entertainer. The live entertainer is "me". We just dont pay them in terms of credits. While a service is being performed by my alt several people maybe 20 or more and as it happens myself included, are enjoying the game they play as a consequence.
We arent interested in providing a roleplay environment or social play. If that's why I became a Dancer I'd be very glad I didn't have to interact with these players! What we want from the game is so very different and neither is wrong.
Oh, I understand the concept of being in a guild. Whenever I buff guild members, I never asked for payment in return. Some of them would anyways, and that was nice of them, but I never asked because the guild would supply me with what I needed. That's fine. The problem is your bot is still drawing people away from players who want to play an entertainer as their main. Your dancer is as an aside, mine is my livelihood. I guess where our opinions differ is that I don't agree with the whole 'alts' concept, but that's another story ![]()
As for providing a roleplaying atmosphere, no where in my post you quoted did I even mention the roleplaying aspect, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here...
