I think some peoplewould beperfectly happy with a sub 2000 buff.. I just don't know if the discount in price is worth the difference though. I mean.. would someone be willing to pay 6000 credits for a sub buff compared to 10k when the 6k buffs might last an hour less as well as be for less points?

Seems to me that if I am going to pay for buffs I would want the best possible and the price difference would mean very little.

If someone just wants to get their armor on, then any old buff will help. However, sometimes in PvP every little point makes a difference, and if they have high enc armor, the higher the better.

But yea.. I don't think calling 1200-1500 buffs trash is fair. By themselves they rock.. it is just when they are compared to 2400+ that they start to not look so good.

I carry 2 sets of buffs on me. Light hunting- 1500- 2000 range and Heavy hunting buffs - 2200-2600 range.

Only buff me and my friends though and they are happy to get a 1500 buff for free any day. Only reason I use the heavy buffs is because I tend to solo a lot or hunt with one other trusted friend. Lately I only hunt Jantas and NS, which requirea heavy buff.

I don't sell buffs. I tried buffing for one day and out of the 10 ppl I buffed, only 2 actually paid. So, I only do friends now.

Well ill tell you as a friend just told me. People who have great armor dont need 2000+ buffs really. 1500 would do just fine for them, because they still wouldn't see their health drop. If they were fighing rancors and night sisters, then they would need as high a buff as they could get.
Lower end armor, or no armor would need high end buffs 2k+. I will say there are a of these people out there. Not many people can afford a 1 million dollar suit and mind food. This is where buffers make there money really.
I hope that answers your question. There are some who 1500 would do fine across the board. Just charge them accordingly. Ask they other docs around you their power, and price for their buffs before starting.

Can't stand starter planets....... nothing worth killing besides Krayts and Tuskenon Tat.

My buff's range from 1.5 - 2k and I sell them for 8k a time, and no-one complains at all. Infact alot of people say that they are nice buffs.

I used my own buffpacks on myself, which gave me 2500+ in all my stats. I buffed my gf too but I forgot to eat the bivoli and also she had shock damage so her buffs only came out to like 1600 all stats. We went fighting together, both of us are TKA, and she died like 3 times within an hour. I almost died a few times as well so that extra 700 came in handy.I would be down to almost 300 in my HAM and I would remember to heal myself, but if I had her kinda buff beforehand, I wouldnt have made it either.

But then again, it really depends on what youre doing or what youre fighting against. My gf and I wanted fast XP so only the two of us (with our meager novice TKA) went sharnaff hunting together. Some people might need as high of a buff, but really depends on what that person is needing it for.

I still believe, and most do also, that duration is the most important unless you are expecting to get killed all the time. A 3.5 hour buff compared to a 2 hour buff is a MAJOR difference.

The effective line currently on secondary stats is about 1500.. above that is not really useful.

Main HAM stats are a big concern to soloists and people taking on stuff they probably should not be able to beat.
Every point + their 80+% armor allows them to kill bigger stuff safely. Combine with 400 pt. Stim B's and a heavily armored soloist can kill incredible amounts of stuff.

Man of my characters can get by with very small buffs (500-800), and those are mostly to deal with special costs... anything above that is overkill for what I do / who I play with.
