Thread: What is up with...
All Holo-Grinders.. Wait for Pub11, when the become-Jedi way gets Changed,
an no one needs to become entetainer, who does not like it....
Don't mind the exceptionallack of courtesyof some of the posters HeliosCreed. I guess some people are frustrated to the point of rudeness. 
Yes, the AFK macro spam entertaining has reached unimaginable heights due to the search for the Force-Sensitive slot. Most combat players want to get through their entertainer holocron as quickly as possible, and so AFK for 3 weeks straight, spam that they need heals, and crowd the front doors to attract the BF and mind wound patrons.
At this point there is no way to solve this problem. SOE has deemed that this behavior is perfectly acceptable, so we have no choice but to put up with it.
But, as was mentioned, once the Jedi revamp comes along and the hologrind is a thing of the past, I can see alot of the clutter being cleared up.
I look forward to that day

Hey Tekoa... *holds her finger an inch from Tekoa's eyeball* I'm not touching you... I'm not touching you...

I sooo want to do this now... with an AFK tag over my head... lol
Honestly the 'rudeness' is not directed at the poster, but frusteration with the problem.
A lost of us have been Dancing since release, many masters since shortly after. And the AFK started to exist before Holos. We were miffed. We mentioned it. We were ignored and berated.
Release was... what? July? So for about 9 months we've had this issue, we've discussed the issue, we've smashed it to little bits.... and it won't go away.
Does any one remember having a sibling or friend that just HAD to stare at you and poke and poke and poke and poke and poke. or the infamous "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you..." bit?
No matter HOW patient a person is, eventually they are going to just freaking snap. People like myself and Sirii have had to deal with this AFK thing for months upon months. I know that when it first started I was all nice and sweet about it. Grit my teeth and bear it. I remember Sirii being a lot more relaxed to.
... But now we've snapped. I can understand why Sirii responded the way she did. Ever be in a group of 5 or 6 people... "So, did you see the Dodger game? Yeah, that pitch was so cool!" And 5 minutes later, serious as death one of them says "So, did you see that dodger game..." As if we didn't JUST talk about itandfor all that time he was not even on this planet? A person bringing up the AFK issue as if it is something new is JUST like that. .... again. Very annoying. And a person can only take it for so long.
But anyway, I don't suppose THIS topic's issue is so much the AFK as the sudden conjestion RIGHT in front of the door, which just adds a whole new element to annoy the heck out of us.

LOL, this is SO going to be said if I ever enter an NPC Cantina ever again 
And I completely agree with the frustration of AFK entertainers Tekoa. I've been around long enough to see the slow descent of our profession, and it irks me right off as well.
However, I don't think that taking it out on someone who has just started posting on the board is the right way to vent. HeliosCreed admitted that she doesn't post at all, and all that's been done is probably convinced her not to post on this board again.
She had an honest question and she was blasted. Not cool.
Again, BELIEVE ME, I totally understand the frustration. I ban AFK Entertainers from my cantina on a weekl basis, that's how prevalent they've become. I just thinkthe new entertainers shouldn't be scared off because of our frustration, and instead encouraged to not become the mindless zombie that we all see in the doorways.
Just my 2 credits. Don't want to ruffle feathers

*shrug* I say what I think. I'm not one to sugarcoat things and I'm sure not a diplomatic person. I get very tired of seeing the same threads over and over, especially when there's a thread discussing the EXACT same thing two or three posts down. I hope that HeliosCreed realizes I wasn't upset with her for doing that, because I know that sometimes it's hard to realize that, especially when you don't post often. I just get aggravated with that in general. Drives me crazy.
Ah, well, yes, that bugs me too
