Is this realy how you want the dev's to spend their time? Giving you a special tag to put over your head.


Come on now surely there are other things in this game with a higher priority than a tag so you can avoid a few tells.

It's a good idea, but many players may still ignore any tags, especially the ones who do searches. To avoid the searchers though, just go /anon.

I agree that there are many more important things that need to be fixed (too many bugs, and they're making an expansion!) before fluff like this should be considered.


I do think, however, that it wouldn't be much work to add a holoemote with a red cross spinning over the head. It would probably bring more demand for holoemotes, and maybe bring some more people into the Image Designer profession. A small change that can positively affect many professions would likely be seen as a good thing, and may be seen as worthwhile.

Plus, if buffing docs started using this emote, then other docs could say "I'm not showing buff emote, I'm not buffing." Perhaps this would lesson the grief docs get from players begging for buffs and such.

Heck, even just a profession tag (Buffer) would work, or (Master Buffer) for master docs. Because a master doc tag doesn't mean you are buffing, but a master buffer tag would kinda give it away.

I don't care if i'm buffing or not .... anyone who calls me a buffer gets addignored very quickly.... i'm a doctor, not a buffer .... you don't see me going around calling rifleman gunners do you?

with my doc, i just do this...if i am sick of people asking for buffs, i turn on another tag. when i am buffing, i turn on the MASTER DOCTOR tag, and then set up a line. 99% of the time, with a CM tag on, nobody even asks forbuffs, problem solved

I know what you mean, and I don't call myself a "buffer" either, and I also get offended when I say I'll log my doctor on, and then later in the conversation they say "where's your buffbot?". Trust me, I know the distinction, I carry every available med with me, cure wounds, poisons, diseases, burns, and rez without charge whenever I see a need for it. I'm not a spamming buffer in coronet. Maybe re-word my original idea to (Master Enhancer) as long as it isn't confused with force enhancements. I reply just because I don't want anyone to have the wrong idea about why I am a doc...it's for the healing and helping others, not the cash.

I totaly agree there are more important things in the game to fix ie combat rebalance, warping 200m away from bike when dismounting to name but 2.



I can not see the devs taking this in to consideration as it is not important to the game. Like what was posted earlier , if u do it for docs u would need to do it for slicers and crafters...iv forgotton how many times iv asked a slicer to slice a weapon and armor and been told that not slicing...hey its not major thing...learn to live with it.

But its to bad they are focusing their efforts on ways to stop recurring macros, over something that would actually serve a purpose.
