Thread: A Customer got mad at me because I did not tip him. !!!!!!
I never though I see the day when a customer would demand credits to be healed :-( I love being a dancer and don't want to give it up, but things like this make me wonder if it's worth it.
Your Hostess Lovette
The guy had to be joking around, or was just trying to be a pest.
I think the guy described was just being a doofus. However...
On our server it is now unfortunately common to see people come into a place like Coronet Cantina with mind wounds and battle fatigue and shout something like: "I have 500 mind wounds and 500 battle fatigue! I will watch you for 5000 credits! Tip me 5k and you'll get the xp!"
There was a time when a person like this would have been laughed right out the door. Entertainers don't pay for xp! We get xp by healing, and you pay us to heal you! But with all the holo-grinding and so forth, there are more than a few entertainers who encourage this despicable new sales profession by agreeing to pay to be watched.
:sigh:
lol ! stupidy has no limite.
I presume that he asked a tip because nowdays entertainer healing xp is harder to earn for various reasons but requesting 50k from an entertainer what a joke. The same people ask credits to be trained ( app xp ).
What he should have do is letting you know that he wanted a tip to be healed in first place. He also need to understand that a Master dancer ( I guess you have your master dancer title on ) doesn't need healing xp.
He then says that he heard dancers are paying for the exp now and he wants his 50k.
Why not tell him that you are not this of dancer and why he didn't made it clear that he wanted a tip.
I've heard rebels eat their children.
Something is broken when:
Rebels would rather keep an NPC Imperial Base Imperial to farm holocrons (and vice versa).
The Master pays the student.
Items placed on the bazaar are not to be bought, but merely show a waypoint to a vendor.
Merchants have to pay people not to buy anything, but walk into empty houses.
Medics would rather heal auto tumblers in the med centre than real characters with wounds.
Dancers who make no money while dancing should pay for individuals to watch them.
It reminds me of a guy that sent me a tell maybe 6 weeks ago. He sent me a tell asking if he could take over control of the city's cantina (which I had placed for the city I'm in and had spent about every last credit I owned to decorate). I thought it was both a rather obscure request and a rather rude request. I held my tongue and asked him why. His response was "Because I'm a Master Dancer". My immediate response was "Funny, so am I." He then proceeded to bother me for the next ten or so minutes about how I should let him have it or at least share it. That's not really the relevant point as I was not about to share the cantina with someone I had never met and saw maybe once (I recalled seeing him getting on a shuttle in Coronet earlier that very day, AFK above his name, and Skilled Dancer as his title).
I think players are just getting more audacious with their requests given that they can get just about anything these days with little actual effort. Most xp can be gained without really playing.. so the same should be with other aspects of the game.
I cannot believe that that person had the nerve to ask you for a tip. I am hardly able to keep 20k in my pocket let alone 50k. Dancing is my only source of income and thanks to Holo Dancers I have to pick up a combat class now or pick up my house and not have any expenses. Buying new clothing is also becoming more and more expensive as Tailors are demanding more profit.
It is getting to the point where if you are not a Master Dancer already you cannot afford to get there anymore.
I wonder if that person also askes a Doctor to pay him for healing him? Or Buffing him? After all they are healing him and getting Exp too.
It's a fun thing to own the town cantina so you can just ban him. Then talk to the mayor to have the town ban him as well 
.
.Still the guy is laughable.
If anyone ever walked into the player cantina where I perform and offered to "let me heal him" for a price, I'd immediately have my dancer sit down on the floor, and emote her laughing so hard she can't dance anymore.
I would then refuse to dance for him no matter how much he offered me (which I assume he, eventually, would, if he actually wanted to get healed). See if he ever does that again.
Idiots...

I hate to say it but he wasn't joking. Because of the Holo craze that is going around I have personnally witnessed people auctioning off their BF and mind wounds and unfortunatly have seen the hollow grinders litteraly drool and trip over their feet to get to these people.
AFKers degraded our Professions and now the accursed Holo's have destroyed it.
