Fight fire with fire guys. I may be new..but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck in real life experience. I have been conducting my own personal war of propaganda against the buffbots ..etc ..in the Theed cantina on Ahazi server. I have been doing this since BEFORE I got Master Dancer three days ago. Been here lurking reading the Dancer forum..so I have a good idea what the issues are, and why it would be better for all of us, if this afk thing was got rid of ...permanently. No bandaids please...the problem is going to kill our entertaining professions...for sure.

Okay..what I do. I waltz in past the buffbots at the entrance to the door to the cantina...its laggy as heck there and always end up running into a wall..due to all the afkers and the 3 or so buffbots hogging space there.

I start dancing in near the front of the bar..close to the stairs. I send out a message that I am looking for an entertainer group. Usually the area where I am..is almost empty. If I get an invite..thats good. If I don't...I round up any solitary entertainers that might be in the same room with me ...and I start my own group. At the same time...I send out NON-macroed messages that say: Support your local LIVE performers..come give us a try...come in and take a load off. We are here for YOU..

And so on. There is a buff bot who condescendingly says...for mind healing..blah blah..please watch the other entertainers..meanwhile..she is hogging all the buffing business. LOL

How nice of her. Well!! Every time she advertises that she's buffing..I pipe up with my own message about..coming to see me...I buff...I love a good joke..I am genuinely interested in what you have to say. EVERY single person that enters that room as a potential customer....I smile at them..I say hello all non macroed..all with a personal touch.

Each and every time I have done this...as the day progresses...I end up with a FULL group of entertainers...having fun with each other...and we get ALOT of business. This takes some focus and perserverance..but..it works every time. And every time those buff bots..spam their "wares"...I counter with a shout about live performers...come support your live performers..come get some personal friendly service...etc.

THATS how you fight them...THATS how you drown them out...and I am GOING TO KEEP DOING IT!!!!!!
