This makes me ill. 
This is NOT what I wanted to see 1st thing in the morning. The badge really bothers me 
. It is things like this that make mequestion what I'm still doing here. Still, whenever I ask that question Ilook atmy answer and keep right on dancing.

Let's not jump to conclusions. She may have earned that badge before turning into a zombie mutant self-loathing pitiful lifeless soulless blood-sucking brainless profession-murdering trampy selfish egotistical diseased damaged buff-wh0re that she now is.
Sorry, that got away from me there at the end. But you got the gist.

I'm 100% bad side. I have almost no redeeming qualities. Except consistency. I'm consistently a very bad boy. That's something. And I've got good hair. But I digress.

Oh, and to anyone who says that buffbots aren't about the money, but in just "providing a good service", note in the bio the statements she makes about the 1 credit tipper.

My question is ...
Who tips 1 credit by bank?
Or .. was she actually ATK to receive the tip?
Or .. should could have just scrolled up her system messages to see how much money she made.

Yes and it's sad - we have one on Valcyn - Candy Cane - she is a Master Dancer - Master Musician who works out of the Coronet Cantina
My alt is an Entertainer - a Master Dancer and I find I can't even go into Coronet Cantina and get work because of her. The entertainment group try to ruin thing for her by always inviting her to the group - but sadly it doesn't always work.

Somehow, I knew this would happen:

Don't worry. The playerbase will come to resent her kind in a few months, demand that her and her kind will be "fixed," and of those like her. The only question will be if she goes by the wayside as a result of changing the dynamics of how she influences the game world, or as the result of the elimination of these professions entirely.
Buffbots today are a relatively novel, relatively rare, convinience. And as long as they stay that way, they will be acceptable to the other players in the game. But once they start bearing thelion's shareof the wound healing, BF healing, and buffing responsibilities, they will undoubtedly will become more selective in who they service. Indeed, the owner will use it as a tool to manipulate the player base into doing the things condusive to the owner's will. And if you think the combatants in the game hate us for not being there for them, just imagine when an unattended and vaccant character is throwing off game mechanics in a cantina all day, every day, and is equally not there for them by writing a /deny list in their script. Because it costs them nothing to give services, and therefore, it costs them nothing to /deny services as well.
But always remember, dancers, that buffbots do not justify the existance of these professions. We do. And if we are gone from the game, buffbot ownerswill never be able to sustain the justification of these professions to the playerbase. Because what will they say but the same line they use over and over: "I provide a valuable service, and if you don't like it, don't use it?" But this statement cannot, and will never counter the argument of, "I have no choice but to use it, and I do not see why getting macroed services from unattended characters enhances my gameplay."
