Thread: Sad experience
First tiem around doing Doc alot of the time I spent running around in front of the Coronet Starport with my bot healing wounds. You've got the people in line waiting for buffs (comign back from some adventure planet for a refresh on buffs) who have wounds like mad. The docs who were buffing there appreciated it, as it took a bit of aload off of them (They could now buff faster and save their wound packs for other times). I frequently got tips from BOTH the docs buffing and also from those who I was healing.
For the times when I didn't feel like checking peoples wounds in front of the Coronet SP, I did heal Tumble Monkey's in the Med Ctr there, but as soon as I saw somone come in the door I'd stop the tumble monkey healng till the person who came in was healed up.
Made almost as much money as I spent.
The second time around though I just tuumble monkey'd my other account in Nashal where nobody was as my main objective was just to get Doc back as ASAP and wasn't worried about the money then.

LOL I thought I was the only one that did this
I remember grinding medic and doctor the old way - healing and treating wounds. I remember spending countless hours fighting other medics/doctors to throw the wound heals on the black-barred fighters as they came back in
personally when I was lvlin Doc, I healed tumblers, and had a good set of Wound Packs ready in case someone walked in and needed healing.
Healing the tumbler and the wounded more then doubled the average XP i got.

I got my experience healing someone who was using a game-given function that takes action. It's the exact same thing as healing dancers.
It's obviously a method that was not intended by the devs and is in fact going to be fixed in the combat revamp.
Which is fine. It's not something I was dependent on. It was just quicker, and my guild needed a doctor.
Example, you and I roll up in 2 brand new escalades, you bought yours off a stolen credit card.
I worked a whole year to save up the down payment for mine while you sat on your ass by the pool thinking of a way to get a stolen credit card.
I really dont like you, you can appreciate that right?
Uhm.... you don't even know me, and that example really didn't make much sense to me.
I do think its thoughtful of you to go upstairs and not spam the room,seriously.
Spam the room... with what? I wasn't healing people who sit in the med center and tumble for whoever happens to need med xp. These were two guildmates who were doing it specifically for me to gain experience. They were willing to sit and do nothing for three hours while I was grinding doctor.
Because that is part 2 of the reason why a lot of Doc's dont like tumblers.
Kinda kills the RP factor, like rancors and AT ST's used to do when they roamed the med centers.
Oh, please. Grinding is not an RP thing. Sure, I can pass it off as "medical school" but the fact is, I needed to master doctor.
Its just respect dude, you do what you feel is right, but dont bother others. And from what you wrote, you get that part of it at least.
I am really big on respecting everyone, no matter what their profession. And I have NOTHING but respect for docs, having been one myself. I know what kind of garbage you guys put up with, and would never want to be one of the people the docs hate. Being an image designer, I know what it's like to take flak for your chosen profession.
Question though, why cant you and your tumbling guildmates do it in your guildhall or your houses or something, or a camp. Just curious.
For the sole reason that we all happened to be IN Theed. I had also healed tumblers sitting inside my cantina. My goal was not to neglect people in genuine need of medical attention; but rather to make way for docs who are there to heal wounds. I could hear everything that went on downstairs. Anytime I heard someone say "can someone heal my wounds" more than twice I'd go downstairs and patch them up.
One last thing... I'm not a dude. I'm a chick. LOL
I'm another doc who got his experience "the old fashioned way".
Personally, I'd be happy if people just took their tumbling out of the med centers as some others have suggested here. I used to enjoy healing and chatting in the med center even if I didn't need the experience. Now, I don't even feel like going in to the med centersanymore for all the afk tumbler-spamers.
Evenwhen I put them all on ignore (my ignore list is huge btw) I think fewer of the genuinely wounded even look for healing in the med centers anymore: they know that it's just full of afk medics. The tumbling exploit has ruined what used to be an enjoyable aspect of the game for me. I'm encouraged that some folks are reporting that it might get fixed.
Yes it is true, not many do doc the ole fashioned way, my self included. Yes I healed the tumblers in the medi center(s) but I never looked away from those in need. So to you, the starter, if you dont want to sell to medics/doc's in the med center do reconsider as I always strived to heal someone in need, contact Daohor in game if no one wants to heal you, and I will promptly say if I am around to heal you.
As for the rest of the players, I wish you all would tip us for healing you sure the xp is good but once we reach master doc, I am still working on the crafting part, we dont need the frikking xp any more, and well buying and maintiaing our resource supply isnt exactly cheap these days, recently I hear avian meat going for as high as 200 CPU, which is simply out rageous, as stated in another thread, I guess I most have missed the place that give out 5mill CR to you once you master doc. So, dont get me wrong, stop whining about not getting treated ofcourse those that did ignnore you,definitly dont deserve the time of day. But you as a patient is always more important to me rather than some tumbling monkey no matter how much XP I can get of them that way.

Out of curiosity, why the hate for tumblers? I don't agree with ignoring the wounded to tend to the tumbler... but I leveled doc using two guildmates who tumbled for me for two straight hours. We did it on the top floor of the med center though, away from the main room. It's a wonderful way to get medical xp, and I know that if a doc came along and buffed the quickness of my tumblers to keep me from getting xp, I'd be pretty ticked off too. I justcan't see the logic of this.
