if u institute a pay from their bank account system what happens if the healee runs out of money?! thats not really a problem since i supposed no money come in then...


but now how to do u stop doctors from fighting over the all the badly wounded patients? I see a lot of problems with this between people complaining about people stealing "their" patients...


the issue isnt so big with xp (although there have been a post of two here complaining about so called Ninja healers stealing xp) but when it gets to be over money, I bet you money that it gets ugly fast...people will be screaming about someone stealing someone else patients...either that or it becomes a race to see who gets to drop there heals first...then i see the problem of some doctors not healing minor wounds because they will say sry i dont wanna waste my time and miss a potentially profitable patient....


when i hear heals for money, that what i see...

The game is full of people and if it were a perfect world then we really wouldn't even be in this post. People would always tip fairly and there would be no problems I don't think heal missions would bring everyone into the doctor profession. I think that it will just stop the doctors from taking destroy missions which are often times too short and too easy as it is. I would like to see some more long and drawn out missions as it is.Maybe in a bounty hunter form of sorts. go tosick personA diagnose get worthless schematicfind resources build item and heal patient. Or herd of sick a cu pas. go to point X heal all animals. Or maybe real coolorgan transplant go to dying patient O and rush organ to Patient Z. This is at least something more than Get stupid item A and Deliver to idiot x who doesn't want it anyway. Nothing against killing missions I am not an anti violence advocate or anything I just choose to play my charachter this way and want to help expand the game possibilities. They created a great world here and I think that we as doctors need to let our voices be known as to what we would like to see.


Also from a previous postI don't believe it is possible to have 2 charachters on the same server.


Also malpractice would be sort of cool but I'm sure it would create a difficult dynamic.

you can have 2 characters on the server if u make another account...there are a fair number of people with 2...basically SOE wants it that way...lets see...everyone gets 10 lots? hmmm buy another account get 10 more? see the scam? I also see the problem tho..if everyone had more than 1 character per servers that # of building that would be built would be incredible...if everyone of those toons got 10 lots

You have to pay for the second account though right. I don't doubt it gets done but I'm sure it's a small percentage of the users. And again I could be wrong.

just saying if u are taking 30 mins to heal a guy its a pain for him and u since others can do it in 1/10th the time...


honestly i get more tips of speedy service than i did was i was slower..and since it was a bigger time drain back then i needed tips more...


fact is once you get novice doctor and some skills in the profession...you will be whisking out people in a matter for mins with bearly scratching ur supply of packs...


and u will think this whole tip debate a joke...

Ok maybe 20 min is an exageration I find myself a competent doctor and yes it really is more like 5 min. I really don't pay too much attention. I Really don't mind the not tipping either but I am trying to find a happy solution for all that are complaining on the boards. I know artisans can create vendors and missions are tilted toward hunting. I spent 2 hours on lok a couple nights ago I was the only med person there the whole time most who came in were half dead. i rarely got a tip. And if so it was minimal. If I don't hunt How am I supposed to get back home?? I am not talking 20 creds per point but make my high level meds worth something to others. Maybe it's a bad Idea but at least it's a viable solution.

I'm a master doctor, Elenora. I can heal fully black bars in a couple of minutes. I can heal wounded rancors in 10.


I don't think the tip issue is a "joke". I think you, and your "anyone who doesn't play like I do is an idiot" attitude, which I see in post after post from you, are jokes.

As Elenora says. If you want money for your services, just tell your clients. Charge 3k for a full black bar heal, money up front.


We docs aren't hurting in this. It's the entertainers that have a problem since they can'tpreventpeople from listening in.

The problem with asking for tips in advance is that most peoples goals are to get to a master profession first and making money second so there is regularly somone trying to get their exp so you asking for money puts you out of both goals.

vermello hence my comment about now that i dont need medical xp, and wear a master surgeon tag and heal much faster, people tend to have less of that, oh u are getting xp for this so im helping you attitude. I also really dont have the issue of money over xp...


kind of works like that in real life? you see any rich interns or residents?


all the rich doctors in the world are the full blown master docs...


think of this are ur intern/resident period...


lol maybe that helps?
