I don't afk buffers... The only thing that bothers me is that sooner or later some guy will just invite them over and over and waste all their buff packs just for the entry fee... and they won't be able to complain about it.
Being a MD and buffer, I really don't have a problem with the afk buffers. They do come in handy in the middle of the night when buffing doctors are few and far between. Besides, thier buffs will never be as good as mine because I get the bonus for my +110 droid. Their droids run out of power and they quickly lose the bonus. So it really doesn't bother me. People will notice the difference in buffs and will seek out the people actually active on-line.
I think pub 9 will break the buffbots. The buffbot depends on targeting the house when no one is grouped, so the buffs do not get wasted. Pub 9 or maybe it was 10, states that when docs try to heal an invalid object, like say when you need to heal yourself, but have a corpse targeted you will not heal. With the publish if you try to heal and have something invalid targeted you will heal yourself.
If they extended that code to buffing as well, and I think the code will effect buffing, the buffbots will buff themselfs over and over and over wasting the packs.
Time will tell
