Thread: My $.02 on AFKers and being a Master Dancer
I'm impatient. Very impatient. I did the AFK macro thing to get Master Dancer. It took me substantially longer than one week. I think something in the neighborhood of three. But anyway, I understand your point. I walk into a cantina late at night and see all of these people afk and a crowd of adventurers gathered around sucking up mind healing like it was going to end tomorrow. I start dancing, I get no tips, usually not even a thank you. So I've stopped dancing in the cantina because, after all, it's my profession. If you don't get paid to do your profession, what's the point in doing it. I don't plan on giving up master dancer because I worked hard to get it. Yes, worked hard. I was at the keyboard far more than I was away from it. I talked to people, I helped train people, I healed others with my pidly medic skills. But I don't make much money at it. I am all for doing something so that afk entertainers can't take missions and complete them when they're not there. No problem. Personally, I've never taken an entertainer mission because the payoff isn't all that great. (speaking of entertainer missions, is there any entertainer-typemissionsin the rebel/imperial mission terminals? Why are they all eitehr deliver or destroy? Can't there be any entertainer missions in those terminals too so that we can do something we're -good- at while trying to get faction points?)
On a different note, what I'd love to see for dancers is a /startgroup /stopgroup command like the musicians have so that we can form choreographed groups. I know how to do flourishes together but it would look really neat if you could have a group start and end together. Would look very polished and professional. Another thing that would be neat is if you could somehow take different moves from different dances and put them together to make a whole new dance. So you'd be crafting a dance based off things you already know but it would be something totally new. And then you could share the schematic. You could have different dancers know different dances. Or whole dance troupes knowing different dances. It would make things a bit more exciting, I think. (same concept could also be applied for musicians as well)
