Thread: How do we salvage entertainer from this buff concept?

ever since they gave ID's that wonderful upgraded window that is so nicely laid out, and most importantly has that handy dandy feature where if the customer does not give a tip the session can be cancelled by the ID - ID's make alot better income. Adding that nice "you tip, i buff" window would really solve most of the problem.
Or something like the window for a group to space travel, where the pilot has to manually click on all group members in the window so that they can all be invited onto a passenger ship. Although the ID window-like set up would work too. It would help to weed out those who would cheat the entertainer.
With this passive buffing system you are still going to get afk dancers/musicians in cantinas..and the buffbots will not even have to write a /join into the macro either im guessing since you will not need to be grouped with the Ent to obtain the buff.
Ive heard all the arguments for and against afk buff bots, but if you think about it..it does benifit SOE to continue to cater to afk entertainer because that means people are paying them more for alt accounts. Not that I support that but its a sad truth.
