It's low, but it's easy to avoid if you are paying attention. A spatial message doesn't scroll across your screen, and it won't show up in your system messages chat window... and it shows up as a chat box over their head... there really is no excuse for falling for this except not paying attention. Ya, it's a stupid tactic and pretty low to try to gype a doc outta such a relatively small amount of money, but it's still easily, VERY easily caught.

I see lots of little examples of how normal and/or bank tipping can be better but nobody has really described the main difference. Convenience. The bank tip system is all about convenience for the customer and ease of maintaining line order for the doc. The customers can run up, bank their money and afk while waiting. With normal tips and expecially with a "line" system they can't afk a second or may lose their spot. Now the line system and normal tips are more about the doctor's convenience, a doc buffing a line really has no commitment to finish the line that has formed, no money has changed hands so they can simply stop at any point and some like this aspect, it can backfire though as the customers aren't committed to you either so when that new doc strolls in with higher hits for less money your line can vanish quite quickly.
