I can kill a Scyk in one hit.


This will not last because I will surrender all my fighting skills (Master Brawler,Scout, half way to 2H,DE and so many skills already surrendered).


I want to be Master Dancer,MasterEntertainer and probably Master Musician.


At this point or if I choose to become a Master medic/dancer how can I earn my living ? You need me for mind wounds and BF and you say I deserve nothing ?


Adding the fact that I am a male : I know so many males RPing women in the game, they get 30K + tips for a day playing when I get 1k at best !!


You need me, I need you : I don't beg your tips : you can keep them for you I don't care, if you cannot understand that we are interdependant, if you think you can takel my healings without giving anything in counterpartt I pity you and give you my best.

So you don't think the healing job you're doing, or the time you've spent developing that skill, is worth anything? Only certain dancers, it seems, have such a low opinion of themselves. People in every other profession feel justified in how they make money through the service they provide. But some in the dancing profession seem to have delusions of insignificance, in that they don't seem to be able to realise that they also provide a service to the SWG community.






Some of us would rather earn voluntary tips from a thankful person than a forced cover charge. Self esteem really has nothing to do with it. If you force a patron to pay say a 1000 cr cover charge, then him giving you 1000 cr is based on your demand, not on his appreciation. He does it because it has to. The amount is meaningless.

BUT, imagine someone who can walk in and get healed for free, but tips you 1000 cr anyway. That person has given you money freely, when he didn't have to, for reasons stemming from generosity and true appreciation.

Some of us don't want to taint the tip process by forcing it, and thereby removing any option of generosity from the viewing public. That's all.
