My understanding is that 8-person will continue to be the limitation of combat groups. However, it is under consideration to allow entertainers additional group options.

That is correct. Maybe create a differnet kind of "entertainer" group. The problem with letting anyone with entertainer make a group, is that they could technically build a large group with one entertainer and the rest go out hunting, exploiting the system.
so...they need and *want* to create a different system.
Thanks for clearing up my vague response... Still not quite recovered yet.

It would be a great addition to master entertainer to be able to "conduct" and control the /change of dance for dancers and /song for musicians all at once from the "multi-group leader" ...also allowing the /start of both ... could make show's more show like

Entertainer Professions
- Scars and such are a big want on both sides. However another layer would be added to all toons for that and it would be simply a lag issue. They didn’t say no, but they said it was something that needed to be fun and not a lag machine.
- Accessories such as earrings and Wookiee braids however are not on the same level of scars and the devs really want to give each race things that can help distinguish our characters further.
- AFK Entertaining is being looked at heavily. It’s a touchy subject and the Devs do not want it to continue. Handling afk is difficult and they are really trying to make steps to make it go away. One dev put it, “Well if we make entertainer more entertaining, players won’t want to go afk.” I think several women threw their panties at him for it. Very well received.
- Entertainer content coming. A possible “notoriety” system where entertainers can go through ranks and distinguish themselves as a favorite of Jabba or of the Imperial Troops or of the people. Each giving unique rewards (special tattoos, jewelry, outfits, dances, songs, etc were discussed as perks)
That's good to hear. This has been my perspective on the issue, as well. It's a very simple statement, but it's exactly the point of view I want the Devs to have - make us more fun to play so that those who macro our professions actually play them and enjoy them.
Dang! I really need to become a Dev! Somebody get me an application, I'll get in there and get this Entertainer junk moved into high gear. I think what they need is a little more Wookiee roaring in their office!
