Yep, these people need to be beat in the head with a blunt object. If I refuse to buff you , it might be because I hae other things to do, I am not obligated to help you in any way. IF a doc wants to buff, you will see him or her out in the open with a med droid out spaming prices. If you want me to use my stim pack E's on you little 5 stamina wound , then no, you need to buy your own wound packs and / or get novice medic. If you are poisoned and diseased with a solid black health bar and you ask politely and offer a few credits, then you are in need of a doctor.

1. you dont get tef from rezing, as you lose the tef when you die.

2. docs dont carry around woundpacks, and medics at med centers get more xp for healing a tumbler than healing wounds due to the speed

3. stuff doesnt decay from pvp deaths

I used to carry stuff to craft everything I could make, all for service.


I also carried one of everything a doctor could make, all for service.


I was the laughing stock of my guild, because ANY time someone wanted to trade with me - this was my response: "er, hold on, let me make some room" and to do thisI had to destroy something I was already carrying.


Don't blame us for AFK tumblemonkeys. Blame SOE and their great idea of holocrons. For that matter, take up novice medic and get yourself some basic woundpaks - physician HEAL THYSELF.


You don't know what that other doctor was doing, don't presume he had nothing better going on. Half of my time online is messaging all the other doctors I know, trying to keep up with what harvesters I should have on what planet. The other half of my time is messaging my guild, trying to find out where they are hunting and what meat/hide spawn is the best atm.. both for myself and for my doctor friends. Somewhere in there, I need to actually go to my factories, make/load schematics, hunt with my guild and provide healing/buffing for them, deal with longtime friends who message me for buffs even though I don't do them for the general public anymore. Then along comes Joe Noob Ubertemplate 4 fux sake heal me please spamming my /tell window... or the guy who saw me buff myself and instantly have his whole hunting party message me for buffs "real quick before the shuttle leaves" and "OMG 15k that's WAY too much!"


I'm not excusing the actions of the doctor's you dealt with, just trying to let you see it from our perspective.

All I can say friend is give it upand don't loose any sleep over it. It has been my experience that people on these forums care only about one thing.Themselves, and to hell with everyone else.I have never seen a game's forums with more unreasonable people.And it seems that the doctor thread is the worst. (I know I'll get it for that one)


Even if your complaints andaruments are completely sound and you areright, peoplewilltake every word you say apart and turn it around on you. It's an art and most people around here seem to have perfected it.


It's been said by most people that SWG's player base is mainly adults. Mabey by age but not maturity. You can reason better with acorpse than most of the peopleyou bumb into on these forums. Just an observation.

docs dont carry around supplies to make woundpacks. why would a master waste time healing your wounds anyway? he doesnt need xp. docs spend all their time worrying about money because they need money to buy resources for buffs

Ok - saw Master Medic (dropping soon) in your sig.


You don't carry woundpaks? Why not? Really, I'm curious. Any novice medic can buy 5 meduse woundpaks fairly cheaply from almost any medvendor or bazaar... at least for the wounds you would take from cloning. Secondaries are another matter.

Your attitude is a joke.


So what if he was the only Doc about, he doesn't owe you anything!


I've been a Doc for a few weeks now, and i'm completely suprised by the **edit** we get when out and about. I don't have any obligation to rez you, or heal you, or cure your disease, or buff you. If i'm buffing people for money, then **edit** should i stop what i'm doing, to come help your ass? Why should i stop my buffing, to heal your wounds?


You need to realise the little **edit**s that message us all the time make alot of docs have a small fuse, and a vicious temper.

Simply because another player is a Doctor does not automatically put them at your every beck and call. They're paying the same $15 a month that you are to play the game the way they see fit. If they choose not to use the skills they've selected for their character to assist you, it is their right.


Master Doctor does not equate to slave. Sooner you learn that, sooner you'll be able to go back to having fun.

The only thing I would like to add is at least in EQ the other group members understood how expensive it was to keep them buffed and made sure the doctor received some extra cash or the gems from loots.


SWG on the otherhand results in either teammates or other people yelling "I WANT, I WANT, I WANT" at you,but they don't typically even think that reimbursing you. Additionally,group members should contribute to the expense of keeping them buffed/rezzed.


The doctor profession receives so much "bad mouthing" in this game and it is typically from people who want you to stop everything and help them. I play this game for fun also -- not money and not to run around and rez you three planets away -- get a life or become a doctor and understand a bit more!

I play a master doctor on Bria. If I have customers and feel like buffing, well guess who is coming first. I'll even heal their wounds if they chip in an extra 1k for the service, so yes I carry woundpacks.
Here's a hint...a "Master Medic" isn't going to be on the top of my list when I know they take 0% decay in PvP, which nobody forced you into BTW. As mentioned before, even a novice medic can use woundpacks - buy some.
Yes, I pay the same money as you to play this game and the only way it's getting paid every month is IF I am enjoying the game. I'm not a slave or rez/heal monkey for anybody. Just like I am not a slice monkey with my other character.

Hi, I'ma master Doc on 2 servers, Linkk on Tempest and Viperious on Sunrunner. When a person request a rez to get rid of a bad buff then i group with them and request they die 'close by'. When u died u could have requested a medic to "drag" ur corpse to the doc,which would have made things alot easier.


The doc u contacted was obviously busy buffing people for money and probable had a long line of peeps that some may have been waiting 15minute, depending on how long the lne was. I for one hold that fact above all others, if a person is patient enough to wait from 10 to 20 minutes for me, then i will return the social gesture and not take his patience for granted.


As a upcoming Doctor i had very little funds and managing harvesters took all the funds, so on the way up i was revulsed at the attitude peeps gave me in return for healing their wounds. Master Doctors GET NO XP anylonger, so having all six stats wounded doesnt help Doc when he has peeps waiting in line. Going to the med center to heal was the right thing to do, if none are there then drop that note to the doc as u wait in line, just like the real world,gotta wait in line.


As a master doc i feel its my personal duty to carry all cures to whatevers out there, but this means i now have to carry 4 droids with storage capabilites. Most of the time i carry 1 of each medical item that i make at home, each med item is highest lvl possible with highest charges, BTW for example, Health Wound pack Athru E all require a little something different for the other, ie; factory ABEC or greens or Seeds. In other words, its not that simple. Also it would generally take me 5 to 10 mins to make any specifice Med item (have to take out droid and use materials in storage that i have rdy for just this event.


Point im getting at with above paragraph is that it took me preparation before hand to be rdy for most situations, some peeps prefer not to hassle with that, i guess i'm **edit** that way. But IRL a RL doctor would be prepared for all eventuallies either.


Another point made was Buffing is the only income for docs, not true selling medical items also is. Rezing and travel is not what we get paid for, RL docs never come to ur house or where u had an accident. its not worth the hassle to travel to another planet, even if u offer 50k that can be earned buffing in......5 to 7 peeps, depending on how much a doc charges. I WILL NOT EVEN GET OFF MY BUTT AND MOVE 3 SPACES to buff a peep or heal them, hehe im not a dog and im not the one that needs help.


In closing, best bet is to treat a SWG doc as u would a RL doc. Be polite when contacting and try to be as accomidating as u can, seeing how its you that requires help. And KOYABA was madd about not being able to get services from doc from an earlier post, i would love to be able to sell Buffs on bazzar.
