Well, reading the forums it seems I may be in the minority in that I am a new dancer rather then others leaving because of the new buffs.


Hopefully I'll not get as disgruntled, but then your other 2 chars are a droid engineer and a ranger you get used to SoE nerfing you !!


Anyway, hi to all the fellow dancers out there. I am afk 90% of the time in our guilds cantina mainly becuase I have exams to sit but intend to be far more active once they are out of the way.


Oh, I'm in 'Tranqulity' on the European-Chimaera server and a lovely blue twi'lek (I know, how very predictable but they do look so cool)

Watch out for the no afk lobby, they go on and on about how uncool and game breaking afkers are, I butt heads with them from time to time. Ranger, Dancer, and DE eh, are you playing 3 different servers?

Same here. My dancer catches it sometimes. Here's the ironic part of this whole thing. Since there's really nothing for us entertainers to do, we go AFK alot. The thing most players really really really need to understand, is without the AFK entertainers, there will be ALOT less people around to buff them......speaking for myself, I can only stand to watch my toon spin around and make small talk for short periods of time, before I'm bored to tears. And now with the nerfs...... /sigh. As rediculous as it sounds, imo people are jealous when someone is gaining exp or a small (and i do mean small since 95% do not tip at all) salary while not at the keyboard. What they need to realize is, without those afker's, they dont get buffed. Becausethe profession is BORING and it's a rare person that sits in front of a dancer all day long. Don't blame the player, blame the developers.

just a question, since you mentioned a few times that it's SO boring...why bother doing a profession you clearly don't enjoy? That would be like be doing squad leader for example, and going on their boards and whining how boring their prof was and how I HATED doing it...

Then why play this profession? I really don't care anymore if people AFK, I just tune you out and enjoy the game my way but don't whine about something you don't have to do.

Welcome to the Dancer profession, Emmeline. I've been dancing since launch and I love it!


Discussions regarding the pros and cons of unattended play are welcome in this thread.

Easy. I don't "play it". I play my other prof. I just have my dancer there because sometimes late at night she's the only one around.


And nobody's whining here but the people crying about AFK ents.

Either AFK/ATK debates go to the appropriate thread or the thread where it is being discussed gets locked. End of story.

You know, it is possible to actually log out when you feel bored or that there is nothing to do at the moment in the game. That's what I do.

Well, nice to feel welcome ... remind me not to mention 3 certain letters next time !!


As for the original question, no i'm not on 3 servers. All 3 characters are on europe-chimaera. I know it's extreme playing £30 a month but I just can't help myself, it's an addiction !!!


Not sure how much i'll be able to add to the discussions here, but with an essentially social profession I look forward to reading and contributing.
