Thread: Tell Hell: How do YOU Handle It?
I answer all my tells, I guess I'm just a fast typer
ex:
/say Current Line: patient1, patient2, patient3...
The best part is that you can scroll through your previous spatial chats by using the up and down arrows. So as soon as I'm done with patient1, I'll scroll up and delete the name from the list and hit enter. I also use '*' for people that I'm holding spots for, and '+' for someone that has already paid.
It's effective and it gives people a constant reminder where they are in line, which cuts down dramatically on tells. I also have a running macro with my buff information (price, refund info, and duration).

'So and so asks...' Hey, are you buffing?'
/reply No
The End...?
If it continues...
/reply I only have crap packs on me, I need to make more good ones, sorry.
Simple... I dont.....
Make an AFK message stating.... "I am currently selling buffs for *price* at *location* please do not tip me till i ask."
still get people that walk up when i have a line of 10+ people and send me the creds and get mad cause i dont buff them right then and there.
wish there was like a window thing that docs get that as people tip it adds to the list.

Wear a Novice Medic title...
I actually had someone come up to me last night asking why I had a Novice Medic title on, "Aren't you a Master Doctor?" I quickly told him, "Shhhhhhhh, not so loud, this is Theed". If someone does break my cover (i.e. look a my badges) then I just come up with some excuse why I'm not buffing. This allows me to be creative.
- I'm just waiting for a friend
- Out of buff packs, sorry
- I only buff on advanced planets, since people in Theed won't pay my prices
- I'm out of droid batteries
- Well, XXXXXX thinks I charge too much, so I don't buff anymore
- Hey, aren't you the same guy that never tipped any of us medics when we started? (my favorite)

lol tell hell is easy for me. My afk answer is set up to answer all questions that could possibly be thrown at me. The best part of my answer is the bit that says sort order of buffing yourselves please, i am not here to organise a playschool of children as well as buff. Also my macro shout has all the answers in it as well. And if i do get spatial questions then i say read the damn macro.. its there for a reason not for show.
So far my queues are pretty well organised and i dont have to do much.![]()
