Hang on I'll prescribe something for you...
/scribbles something down
Ok now take this and get it filled for Advil or Tylenol. Take 3 every 6 hours, play another game entirely for at least half of that time and check back with me tommorow.
But, let's look at some other facts...
I only charge for buffs. I heal, cure disease and poisons, rez, and everything else for FREE. Sometimes I sell stims, but it's rare, because the money's just not good enough to spend the time at it. I also sometimes wander through med centers handing out free meds to aspiring medics and such and training them, again for free. So some of the money goes there.
I also donate rather heavily to the guild, and to the city in which I live so that we might all enjoy a lower tax rate. that said, I'd estimate I'm still making 300K in personal funds each trip. So I'll wear the hat of rich doctor. But I don't think anyone cares, given how much charity work I do.
More to the point, though... and I say this more so you can point it out when people **edit**--
A buff will allow these people to go make 30K per mission on the planet of their choice, or a few million in loot in the dungeon of their choice. Now consider that the only thing making this POSSIBLE for them is a doctor buff, which lets them put on their precious armor. And we're asking... 10K? so that they can make 30+ times as much back on the investment. Weaponsmiths charge anywhere from 30-100K (for "normal" gear) on weapons that will literally earn the person millions over the course of the weapon's lifetime. When you get down to it, we take a very small slice of the pie. the *reason* doctors and crafters have so much money is we take that slice from a few hundred pies a week. But if they were saving the money they're making off of us, we would *not* look half as rich as they think we are.
"A buff will allow these people to go make 30K per mission on the planet of their choice, or a few million in loot in the dungeon of their choice. "

I love this arguement... guess what? Not everyone does this... some people dont have that much and wanna make a little dough the only way they know how and maybe they cant handle they 30k a mission you think that all players that buy buffs are getting... maybe they want to just work some skills faster...
Doctors are supposted to be servants.. I know that RL doctors are NOT a good infulence.. but think of Doctors of the early 1900's who charged very little for services and such when your thinking of a RL example for how a Doctor should be.

Bottom Line: So what if some are making millions off your buff.. Im betting the majority are not...

It's still relatively easy to make 10k, even without combat skills it takes you 30 minutes running artisan missions to get that... After that, it's people's choice to pay or not. If they can't afford it, maybe they should reconsider whether they need it or not, it's not the doctor's responsibility to buff everyone according to what they can or can't afford.

Stop comparing RL and a game, especially when you use poor examples like this one. even in RL you would hardly find a doc willing to heal you for free. It is a GAME, and every profession is entitled to make money if they want to - as long as they get people to pay for their service. Not like you absolutely need buffs anyway, it's a luxery.
