Isnt using a feature of the game, in a way it was NOT intented to be used for personal gain or for gain of another person an exploit?

That sounds right to me. Tumbling does work as intented, but people are using it in a way it was NOT intended to be used.

I used to buff tumblers all day long, One point I was able to clear the med center of them for a week because they knew I came by randomly to ruin tumblers. Then I got a couple Gmails from the CSR's telling me to stop doing it or they will suspend my account.

All my respect for them flew out the window that day. They would rather have people blow through one profession, let alone others (craft grinding), instead of letting players that actually GASP, played the game the way it was intended and try to bring the game back to its intended status.

Sony just doesn't care.

Mastering a profession SHOULD take 6 weeks, it should take longer than that actually. People just dont want to spend time in a game that was designed to make you spend time gaining your abilities. People want things NOW NOW NOW, and thats just sad.

I mastered doctor the old fashon way, healing the wounded in the med center, It took me from early august to November. About 4 moths, but it was very satisfying knowing all the hard work I put into it. And just so you know I still sit in the med center and I see TONS of popele with wounds pour in all the time, No need for tumblers. Everyone acts like NO ONE gets wounds. They do, Just yesterday I saw 4 people in my 1 hour of log in time, with full black bars. Dont tell me people dont come in with wounds anymore.

Holocrons are about to dissapear next week anyway, so people will either wait for the jedi quest system or minlessly grind random professions. I expect to see most of the tumblers crawl away soon. Poor guys

I feel bad for tumblers actually, I, and many doctors I know have put tumblers on perma /ignore because of the rediculous "TIP ME FOR TUMBLING" spam they spew. Some put them on ignore just because they tumble. So once they cant tumbler anymore it will be much harder to get any doctor help.

OF COURSE tumbling affects my gameplay. The more people that use tumblers, the more fake "I want doc just to make buff money" doctors are ground out. Thus the more competition I gain. Not to mention they affect OTHER peoples' gameplay as well, People that used to visit the med center to chat and have fun, Don't anymore because they are sick of the tumblers sitting there spamming and no one else helping them out if a REAL doctor isnt there.

Tumblers are ruining my gameplay and other peoples' gameplay. You just dont see it because you think tumbling is the next best thing to sliced bread.

Yes, entertainers have it much worse. They need to add code that activates when anyone /startdance or /startmusic's. When that happens, the game checks to see if the mouse has been moved at all in the last minute of gameplay, if not, it disables the "watch/listen" for that person. This way even macros wont work for dancers/musicians because they would need to at least have the mouse cursor move once every minute, maybe every 2 minutes.

But once again sony doesnt care.
