Wow! After having read this thread... I never realized what a negative effect "buffbots" had on gameplay for others. I don't have any alts, but had been thinking about doing it for a mind "buffbot". Not now. I for one will no longer be using the "serivces" of these exploiters. Thankyou for opening my eyes to this!

And thank you, Aveu, for letting them BE opened!
I wish more people would take the time to understand the problem we're facing.
Thanks for the support!

Well, after taking Linvuiet's advise and reading other posts to see how much you dislike and want to get rid of buffbots and how much they hurt you and after reading over these posts I have decided that i wont be a buff bot from now on and i will try and help the cause of getting rid of buffbots. If Linv would un-ignore me in game, she will see if i will be a buff bot and she could be some kind of witness, along with Lurieth, Lucrezia, Sioux, and other Moonshadow and Linvuiet's friends which could tell you if i am or aren't running a buff bot macro any more.....all I am gunna run is my macro which advertises what I can do, not what advertises, joins, buffs, gives info...blah blah blah blah blah
I also think someones idea (forgot whos now, too tired to get to the post again thru another window to find out) about getting rid of group buffing and being able to have multiple /setPerform 's instead would be one way of stopping buffbots only if you cant be in the same group as the entertainer, otherwise they could use the /ui action targetGroup0 - /ui action targetGroup19 commands to target the players in the group and /setPerform....so if the devs would make it so that you cant be in the same group and you have to /setPerform this would get rid of all Mind buffing buffbots

Cat, thank you very, VERY much. I truly apreciate this. You bet I'll take you off ignore and I'll come see you in Coronet as soon as possible ( I have a band practice on Dantooine tonight but if you're on I'll come see you afterwards igf you're on.)
That's one less buffbot on Infinity and last night I met a new Master Dancer who had just made master yesterday and she was also strongly opposed to buffbots.
We weill take back the Cantinas of Infinity.
/cheer Cat

As well as thanking Cat I want to thank Paks, Leivi, Sirii and all of you for helping reform the Cat 
Sounds like a meeting of the AA.

CatFleaXand Aveu - you've bothmade my week!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I heartily apologize for any snippiness, Cat, and appreciate that you have stepped back and reassessed the opposition you received here and ingame by other entertainers. I wish others would do as you have done here.
And Aveu, thanks for being the kind of person who cares about other players first.
Please do consider coming to the Bria Cantina Crawl if possible. Check out the thread in this forum. We don't care if you are dancing basic or playing SW-1! We are all about fun on our CCs! (And this one is being videoed!
