Two weeks ago the top for a buff was 12k, last week 15k, this week 18k !!!

You got the cap of 2500 for the buff, then stop this !!!

Smugglers do not ask 9k for a slice...

What cap for 2500 for a buff?

Doctors can charge what they want, if you don't like it, go fight unbuffed.

We understand that some of our customers dislike the amount we charge for buffs, but we look at it one of two ways.

One: Most Avian Meat spawns START at 50cpu, and thats for the crappy stuff. I myself have paid 200 cpu for meat that had all important stats ofer 850. If you want lower prices, have hunters stop scalping doctors for their much needed resource.

Two: You pay 18k for a buff, per se. Then you hop on a speeder and do Savage Quenkers on Dant. You can make the 18k back in 2 trips out. Myself, when I buff myself, can drop a Janta Shaman lair in 45 seconds flat, Jantas and all. That amounts to 4 minutes (roughly) for 2 missions. At 27a pop you have just maid a profit of 52k!

Most players that go buffed are doing one of three things: PvP, very hard Solo missions, or a Themepark-ish feature. If you are doing PvP, dont whine about the buffs, for 10-18k, you survive with no scratches. If your solo hunting, same thing applies. You can make MUCH more money that you spend for the prices of the buffs. If you figure Janta Shaman missions, it takes 4 mins to complete two, then about another 2 to find two in the same direction.So with my 3 hour duration buffs, I make 810k, subtract the 18k that you RARELY pay for buffs: A healthy profit of 792k, plus any amout of Janta Blood that you can scalp doctors/medics for as well.

Please stop complaining about buffs. It is the bane of a doctors existance, just read these forums, we all hate doing it. If everyone gives a Doc a hard time about his prices or his buff stats, we will just not buff anyone anymore. Than you would really be up a creek with out a paddle!

It is funny that we have two threads on this forum.

One in which a doc is whining that other docs are charging too little.

One in which a buffies is whining that docs are charging too much.

Sounds like the buff price is just right.

IMO a doc who wants to make money buffing for cash should charges as much as they can. At the same token, a doc who does not wish to buff for cash can charge a little as they want.

Also, I believe Buffs are the most valuable thing in the game at the moment. No one does anything dangerous without being buffed. As a result, Docs can charge what ever they like and they will get it. The only thing that will keep the price down is other docs.

i hope you all check out my union post...i think i have a good idea that we can solve every servers problems. In a perfect world 1,000 skill points would be available and we would have 400 lots to harvest and live upon, but we dont...live with it and your lucky you only paid 18k..i charge 15k for 2000 stats, if i had 2500 stats 22k easy.
