Respect for what? For your view of how the game should be played? What makes you so special to decide what people should and shouldn't do within the rules of the game?
You think thats bad? How about you pickup medic so you can heal yourself? Its a game where everyone is responsible to noone but themselves so if the holo-grinding idiots feel the need to master doc in a day and move on to something else thats fine with me.
what REALLY REALLY pisses me off is when somone either demands to be buffed, complains about prices, begs for free buffs or just EXPECTS a free heal. I don't expect a smuggler to slice my guns for free, I don't expect an armorsmith to give me free armor why then would somone expect me to heal them for free?
Not only do people EXPECT it they DEMAND it. And if you request payment upfront they get all kinds of upset and go off about how you charge to much, your inconsiderate, they always tip... the list goes on and on.
So basically you had 1 bad experience with a newb doc who was tired of helping thankless people. I walk into a town and forget to turn off my Master Doctor tag and within 2 minutes I'll have at least 10 tells requesting/demanding buffs and normally one or 2 requesting heals, and if you say no they either demand a reason or get pissed.
That is how considerate the average SWG player is. Maybe next time when you see the newb medic healing the tumble monkey you should say "wow, am I so ungracious that I have driven him to that?"
I am sorry for the original poster's problems in finding a qualified and willing medic to speed him on the road to recovery.
From the day I created this character I've played her as medic, and then Master Doctor, and later after that Master Combat Medic, and now Master Doc/aspiring BE. I didn't even know the tumble macro deal worked for speeding XP. But that's fine, because I was LEARNING how to play a doctor.
I had some real newbie questions like "What are seeds and where do I find them?" so when I'm asked that I don't mind.
What kills me though are these docs who power leveled through the profession and didn't take the time to learn it, then they want to ask me what a solid delivery shell is used for.
I'm willing to talk to the new doctors whoare serious about learning the field, and hope the holo grinding stops once the Jedi quest missions are up and running.
keep in mind healing wounds require wound packs , and not all that many "up and comming docs" have the packs , or the ability to make such packs yet.
Huh? Every doc can make wound-b's. I can understand if you ran out of resources, but it's silly that docs can't/won't make wound packs. What kills me are docs who have just been grinding ABECs and have no idea how to make real meds.
It really kills me that docs resort to tumbling. One can easily make xp stimming entertainers in a cantina. And once you reach 0-2-4-0, buffing is just awesome xp. I made the last three boxes of treatment speed last night just selling buffs. If your average patient is giving you 4-6k xp for a full set of buffs, well, it doesn't take very long at all. Why waste time stimming?
As for the first poster, I do feel bad that this doctor preferred to stim a tumble monkey instead of healing you (especially sinceone can do both simultaneously!), but did you consider offering to pay? I know you said that you tip generously, but did you let him know that? Doctors still respond to cash. Just because someone plays a doctor doesn't mean he's an altruist.
I was a master doctor at launch, did it the old fashioned way. I did master doctor again a few days ago on a different server. Tumbling rocks for xp. easily macroed and its expected 150xp every 10-15 seconds or so. Wound healing sucks ass since you have to wait such a long time between wound healing and wound healing speed is the last line you go up towards master doctor anyways.
Most people that you heal are ungrateful anyways so I'd rather make master quicker than to wait around and heal people that are jerks about it just so they can go have more fun while I sit in a med center. It doesn't make me any less of a doctor because I want to make master and do what I like.

I xp'd the old fashion way also. And I have been a master doc for months. No holo grinder here
Thanks for the appreciative thought
I actually mastered doctor after doing adventure planet missions (in the age of Endor :-) where the doctors couldn't even manage to keep themselves, let alone us, healed. This one doctor kept running right into the middle of a fight (with tanking pets) and start hitting on everyone, and promptly dying. Now he was a melee fighter as well, but since he died twice doing this you'd figure he would stop at least using an area attack. But no, he kept doing this and also never once revived fallen team mates (only to promptly die himself).
These experiences with many doctors in the field (and the fact that many doctors NEVER enter the field), made me decide to go down that road. I planed to go to 4440 but alas, liked it so much I eventually became master. This was many months ago and just now am I starting to get truely serious about crafting as well (as in doing not just the "Stim B" that everyone does). People like to have me around. I don't use sub-par stims, despite often wasting the E's healing capabilities (but healing someone for 2-3k is often great since no one ever goes with me hunting while unbuffed).
Doctors might be many, but good doctors are few and far inbetween it seems (at least good field doctors).
1.) Hologrinders
2.) People who want to level fast.
Both types are actually a menace in the field.
My non-healer characters have been in groups with master docs recently who hve no idea what a State pack is, forgt about poison or disease cures.
People are becoming paranoid that the doc they bring along really knows about being a doc... this is bad for us non-PA peopel, because it forces people to close ranks and not adventure with peopel tey don't know well.
Good news is that the HAM changes will kill tuumbling. Whatever they do to the Jedi system will kill hologrinders as well. WHough we'll be forced to deal w/ them for a few more moths untils whatever that is shows up.
