Blows major ass

"Entertainer: Players need to watch a performer for at least 2 minutes before entertainer buffs can be applied."
I say NO!! A big fat NO!
To even make this a priority is just rediculous with all the other HUGE issues in the game. To make 2 minutes mean absolutely nothing, PLUS add 15 seconds on the /startdance is overload.
I've seen so many more important posts on things that need fixing in this game and yet, they haven't been addressed. Yet a few people complain about a speed buff which might actually give the entertainers a chance to make some decent money and that gets attention?
I agree that it's not pretty to look at or see the spam spewing out of it. But.. I do think people like to get back to thier fun in the game. And.. if they choose to say and have fun in the cantina then that's a choice they can make. If you are a great entertainer and fun to talk to then most would chose to stay and hang out with you regardless! I do know that most people i've seen on Kauri use the cantina as a place to take a break. Meaning... they go afk there also while watching and healing.
Roleplay is great, but to add both these "fixes" is just too much!!
oh and i have to ask a couple things about the exploit fix...
1. there are very few posts on the entertainment forums asking for it to be fixed, but many other requests have been made regarding these profs which have again been ignored
2. I guess my main point is I figured the main problem with the 30sec buff is the spamming yes? Is that what people dislike? So why then have droids been introduced for merchants that will auto-spam everyone that walks past them with no ability to be /addignore ?? So it's ok for merchants and droids to spams endlessly while afked and not even playing, but no ok for an entertainer in a camp in the wilderness to spam for 30secs??? I'm a little disappointed with this decision devs. You are brillient programmers, but I think you should've consulted the entertainer forums BEFORE implementing this.
