well i started doc to try make a change and get me intrested in game as killing stuff was becoming so boring also added perk of never having to wait in line or find a doc which can take a lot of time in itself
i think 100k is a bit much to charge as not all hunters are money grabing fiends but seeing as the doc makes the least amount of money out of their buffs than any 1 else in the game i think min 30k max 50k for buffs isnt to bad any 1 who complains about the price knows what to do go without and kill CHUBA'S as this is all u going be able to do
if docs didnt spend their time to buff people wudnt be able to go make crazy amounts of cash doing missions and havesting meats which they sell at insane prices which the doc then has to buy to make the buffs to buff u so yeh at the mo u pay a doc lets say 12k u got yur buffs for over 3hrs
of u go hunting havest a sac of meat maybe do missions the same time making cash the buffs run out u sell yur meat to a doc maybe the same 1 u paid 12k to for them meat sells to him for 300k + so while u been having fun ingame killing stuff and going around the planets that same doc been sitting in the same spot trying sell enough buffs to buy yur meat which u got with wat may aswell have been free buffs from him
we are classed as 3rd world workers ingame where every man and his dog wants get cheap stuff so they can better there own lives
when infact we cud own the ingame economy where we cud just say pay up or go without then lets see how bad yur ingame life degrades
you may say yes well we put meat prices up but u forgeting your not able to kill so fast now and not harvest asmuch u put prices up so do we finally u will realise if u lower your prices so will the docs eventually all ingame get to make a decent living at a fair price
if u think this isnt true now lets say all docs stopped buffing the public for a week and just buffed theirselves and went out on missions to earn a crust and paid the occasional person with a buff for the resources they needed to make more buffs
its only going to get worse for docs now this insane 80k xp cap if they want to have a go for fs they have to sit buffing for the rest of their lives for next to nothing or as i did for free just to make a poxy 8k force xp and go back and forth village while the peeps that get these free and cheap buff get to progress their game and greatly faster rate for next to nothing and still make money same time
i've already decided i wont be renewing my subs so it dosent really matter for me but i think peeps shud take a look at what the docs do to keep peeps playing this game and just stop moaning about them they help keep your ingame lives intresting at some cost to them selves
this also goes for the dev's u shud take notice when creating stuff like this new fs xp ect as if docs decide to rebel peeps wont be enjoying the game so much and this is where u going start loosing subs from peeps leaving when they get borde also try thinking about some of the rewards granted for quests
like a +5 combat medicine experimentation necky is of great use to a simple doc and the plant is so cool i cud maybe waiste another week just sitting watching it and feeding it trying to make it grow for who knows what reward at the end of it all
well i think i've had my say i got a couple days before subs run out then i stop being repetitive and playing a game that has no real goals 1 can set for yourself that cant be reached in a few days gameplay or to the extreme like months with no great improvement to yurself
i wish u all luck and hope u have fun in a game that is going to end up a good 80% pvp with all the new jedi's about to be born if they can ack the process of getting there

100K... Mmmm dont push it.... lol
Im tired of earing the same old (janta mission) response...
I admit, when i accept to buff people on dantooine. I charge 25k min. But else where, they probably dont go for janta missions...
I think too, that buff should be higher... I do my own buff pack.. and i know it takes time and opportunities to collect all the best ressources...
Having to wait for months for good spawn.. and harvesting "/$%/$%/ avian meat at the rate of 15-20 units a kill....
It took me 2-3month to produce couple of crates of 895 power buff pack....
So, of course, i will never sell these buff for 10k or even 15K.. I buff myself, Friends and guildy`s....
I think the doc's who sell there buff for 7k-10k are the one that buy their buff pack.. They dont really know the value and the effort for crafting them... so if they buy a full set for 150K or less.. they can make like 100k profit at 10k/buff/22 charges
If the Crafting Doc (Master Chemist.. ;-) would sell there full set of buff 200 -300k... buffers would not have the choice but to pump up theire price...
my 2 cents

I have a problem. I usually charge 15k for 2440+ buffs @ 3 hours. I only charge 20k when there arnt any other Docs around. And 30k for a personal buff when i am not buffing, simply cause the price of bivoli.
Well even when i charge 15k i still get people saying im ripping them off, no buff is worth 15k, blah, blah.
This is my point, I buff you for 15k for 3+ hours. Then you get in a solo group, run 30k janta missions. Id say you can get in about 20 janta missions, spending about 8 minutes on each one. That equals out to approx. 540k. So your going to grief me about a 15k or 20k buff when you turn around in that same time and make a half a million credits and get so much exp you can almost master a combat prifession in a few days???
Also, do you have any clue how hard it is to get good resources? Meat from Yavin, fiberplast from tat, so on.... That takes alot of time and money with harvesters and getting meat. Also, when a bad run comes up of Lok wheat, we're screwed. And the crafting tree takes a long time to complete.
So i close with this. Stop saying a 15k buff is too much, be nice to the Doc's. Be considerate of what we go through so you dont have to die, or WE WILL START CHARGING 100k a BUFF!!!!!!!!
Problem 1. You assume everyone who gets buffed gets in solo groups and makes millions of credits in 5 minutes. False. I have a combat toon. I've been in a solo group once.
Problem 2. You assume everyone coming to you for buffs is a jerk. False. My doc character rarely if ever gets a jerk. Most are patient people who understand I'm being bombarded by tells and are very respectful of me and are very good customers.
Charge what you want. Personally I'll never charge that much for a buff but that's just me.
I'm getting so tired of these "combat toons can make so much money doing solo missions and I'm tired of them all beingjerks".
Sorry for my rant but geez this same tired complaint day after day is getting so OLD.
So some people are rude. Big deal. Yes they don't get the complexities of crafting. Big deal. Ignore them and focus on the 90% of NICE PEOPLE instead of ranting about the ignorant 10%.

mine are usually 12-15k if I'm buffing in Starports
15-20k if I'm at a remote location (Dathomir, Dantooine)
