I was in Coronet buffing people (this was my first time buffing for money) and I found that I was inundated with SPAM and TELLs. It was very fustrating.

On top of all that was the SPAM flying around. There were 4 other doctors buffing nearby too. It was nuts. Because I tried to reply to as many of the messages as possible, I ended up accidentally buffing my action instead of a paying customer. When I ran out of buffs, I tried to leave to get more and several of the people in line tried to follow me. I told them to wait (none of them had paid me yet), but they wouldn't. I hopped on my bike and sped off with them in hot pursuit. I did mange to lose them, but then one of them sent me a message asking me to send my waypoint to him when I reached my destination!!! When I returned to Coronet, I put onaTusken helm and changed my clothes to hide myself. I almost feel like one of those movie stars that has disguise him/herself from crazy fans!!!

You have had your first experience with the "Doctor Tef".

Welcome to the club!

Here's what helped me, before I stopped buffing the public:

1) Create a macro that tells your rate, the status of your buffs, and any special instructions you may have for those who want buffs or other services. Either loop it so it repeats at a reasonable (but not spammy) rate or hotkey it so you can fire it off manually at intervals.

2) Set your profile to include the same info as the macro. Some people will examine you and will see the instructions there.

3) Set yourself afk and make your afk message say the following:

a. Your rates and instructions, again.

b. Instructions to stop sending you tells, but to communicate through spatial or email.

c. Whether or not you are rezzing, healing, etc, and if so how they should contact you. Personally , I never travel to rez anyone. It's your choice. You have to clone and they can too.

Even with all of this, some people will ignore the instructions and try to bully, cut in line, beg for a discount, nag for a rez, etc. Ignore them. If it gets bad add them to your ignore list.

You are a doctor for yourself. Period. Any help or assistance you want to give is your choice. Nobody should get away with treating you rudely. The ignore list is your friend.

Stand up for yourself and direct the crowd. Don't let it direct you. Be friendly but firm and polite.

Those who can't or won't listen, get nothing.

Those who follow you or tip you anyway when you say you're done, get nothing forever. Personally, I'd keep the tip, too, as long as you have previously told them no.

Have fun, make money, and good luck.

Best thing to do when you get alot of tells

make your afk reply stats on your buffs/price

and every few min do an /announce

We should get jackets =)

I will never ever buff in cnet

RAM cant handle it and that is just too many people more than enough in mining on dant and dath on the weekends
