Thread: The new generation of holo-dancers
after weeks of staying away from the NPC-cantinas, I put on my composite armor (even though I'm a dancer, I'm too afraid to visit these outposts of hell without proper protection) to check how the afk-macroers and spammers were doing.
So I entered the Coronet cantina and was astonished ... no spam ... no macros ... only your average afk's. But of course I was wrong - I was lagged.
The thing I heard the most only one second later was:
"Invite me if I'm not grouped! Auto-join macro on!"
"afk and autojoin on"
Sighing, I left the cantina ... knowing that it would never get better. And I travelled to Dantooine to continue my studies of Teras Kasi to be ready when one sweet day in my fantasy all those people will get TEFed.
Talasa Come with me to level pikewoman, we will area attack the cantina with my leg sweep and knock all the afkers on their asses hahahahahaha.
no seriously i feel your pain, afkers ruined it for me too i quit and now im a master doctor and pikewoman, very rewarding. cuz with doctor youget to socialize and still heal, but i also make millions of credits now selling buffs hehe.
I'll be Master Dancer within a week, and I'll be taking over the player cantina in my player city (one of the largest on the server), so I'll remain a dancer forever, but I won't be forgetting what was done to us.
Here's what I'm going to do: It seems that Jedis login with their titles automatically set to none. (Everyone else can change it to none, but it won't stay that way after the next login). Anyone who walks into my cantina with no title gets denied service, and I'll sweetly ask them to show me their title before I remove them from the deny list - characters with no prof title will be assumed to be jedi until proven otherwise. Jedi will receive no service from me. Not that this will really do any good other than to make me feel better, but hey...
As I've stated before in other posts, I reject the argument that we should blame the devs, not the players who follow the holo-path. We all hate the jedi system the devs handed us, and no one has complained about it more than the holo-grinders on the jedi forum. How undignified is it, then, to so eagerly condescend to participate in such a system? By choosing to holo-grind professions, you tell the devs that you do not care about quality content, you do not care about immersion or believability, you do not care about community or the player economy, you do not care about even the playability or enjoyability of the game you're paying for, if only you might be uber. How easily you can be manipulated to pay for a few extra months of subscription to have your PC transmit macro commands with a remote server all day long while you're off doing something else, all for the reward of more experience points. We're all agreed that the jedi system is shamefully stupid, but it only hurts the game when players agree to it. It's not the dev's fault, Mr Jedi; it's yours, and I won't forget you.
@Faellyn: Every hologrinder should be forced to memorize what you just wrote and repeat it as a mantra until they see what they are doing.

I do not want to burst your bubble. But as far as I know, Jedis can heal there own BF and do not need us.
