Although very inconvenient, you can logout for about 5 minutes, then log back in, your buff will be gone.


I'm guessing low level docs are looking for ez xp, so they run around spamming there weak buffs on random people to get xp.

Yep Big problem


I was logging in and by then time I finnished some novice was buffing me. I sad what the hell are you doing! He said free buff and poped up my Master DOC sign. He got real upset that at the names I called him and told him NOT to do it again. His excuse was that I was a ninja looter, which I do NOT do.

I agree. Show some courtesy. I was sitting in the med center waiting to buff my team (no master doc tag showing) and got ninja buffed.


I (nicely) mentioned to the person that they shouldn't go buffing folks without permission. It seemed to be a completely foreign idea to them. "Why are you unhappy?" they said. "You just got free buffs!"


"Well, mostly because my buffs blow yours away by about 5x". I said as I flipped the Master Doc tag.


When I play, time is not something that I have to spare. Having to log off and pray that the buff will be reset (which it often isn't)is not something which makes my day. I understand everybody is looking for xp. I worked my way up from the bottom too. Just show some professional courtesy and everyone will be happier.

lowbie buffs last for 20 minutes not 3 hours.


BTW I always ask before I buff for xp.

indeed it is a pain, I'm not all that sure why buffs under D's are even in the game since well no-one uses them for things other than griefing others. I think the best course of action would just be /buffconsent x.

Do that, you get cloned on the spot. no decay, just clone wounds (100 wounds and 100 BF), but as a TKA you can meditate the wounds away. It's just a temporary solution until they add consent for buffs

So I'm sitting there meditating my wounds away and some doc walk up to me and buffs me with a lowbie buff. I think he was genuinely just trying to be nice, but

if I was about to go krayt hunting or something, I'd be out for the count for 3 hours.


They really need to make /consent a prerequisite for buffing. Either that or grouping - or better yet let us turn off buffs.


In the mean time, you new doctors out there: Please do not buff unless asked.

It would be better if doctors could make cancelling med kits or something imo. But a typical enhancement pack will only last about 40 minutes.


Do these buffs cancel when people relog?

One fairly simple solution, which is available in EQ, is to make the buff icon clickable to it can be turned off. I wonder if they didn't implement this to stop med xp grinding by buffing someone, having them unclick buff, buff again and so on and so on.
