this looks like you want to become one of these dreaded "buffbot-vendors" so more customer get used to be not friendly to "us human docs" sinces they get used to "pay housemaintenance or whatever" and get buffed without a word.
in this case, i wnt to recite somethign i heard ingame :-)
"It woudl be unwise to help such a patient"
have a nice day, and i stay "alive" and not afk if i buff around
You're right to be wary of this sort of stuff. Even if he's only buffing "for his guild." Guess what - his guildmates tell one of their friends who's waiting in coronet fora buff, "just go to my guildmate's place! no wait!" Then his friend tells a friend, then word gets out eventually.
Don't let what's happened to Dancers and Musicians happen to you guys 
Friendly people are becoming less and less frequent. More often, it's a sterile random group invite while you're playing some music or dancing. When you talk, they run away. Very disappointing situation.
Keep fending off the attempts of people AFK'ing your profession. 
At least the Devs had the prescence of mind to prevent the use of a droid recharge command. Now if only they could do something about the abuse of /join, then Dancers and Musicians wouldn't be thought of as NPC's 99% of the time. Maybe we could regain some level of respect that we've lost since buffbots flourished.
Anyways, keep up the good fight. I'm always happy to see folks in other professions who have as big of a distaste for AFK'ing as us Entertainers
By the way, I have a Master Doctor alt who I've had for around 7 months+ now. I love being a Doc.

“u guys just want to post or piss and whine at someone for no reason”
There is a very good reason. The AFK buffing you describe reduces the need for character interaction. What makes SWG special is the dynamic content created by character interaction, so any thing that reduces it is bad for the game in my opinion.
“..its people like you that kill the game”
The game is beyond being ruined by a response that doesn’t please you in the forums. One thing that does detract from the game is people “playing the game” while AFK, it’s “quite sad really.”
P.S. If you where to redistribute the periods you group in twos in threes by putting one each at the end of every sentence, you’re posts would be easier to read.

Ahhh !! The post hurts my eyes.

What I don't understand is; if you're a guild leader, you're obviously friends with the people in your guild, so why wouldn't you want to talk/interact with them while buffing?
By the way, better grammar really helps you be taken more seriously.

dude, why are you so upset...?
if your enot intent to "afkbuff": whats the problem to buff aroudn and when you get low popwer warning or checkinng ctrl-D datatpad your droid tzhe power level WHILE buffing (we dont moan if oyu use a buffsequence macro itself) you got plenty time to take a look at the power level (aroudn 97sec to be exact) so after the buff.. or when youre good and not afk even inmiddle of buffs you can quickly target droid hit recharge and retarget client for the next hit..
so.. whats your problem to be exact,sir?
i never had any issues with recharging, i even have the time to talk to my customers, look aroudn and watch soem battles/fight/make sarcastic comments while my buffsequence mycro runs and hits all 6 stats, AND watching if they get applied.
If you want to Buff aroudn "NON AFK" then there shoudl be no problem...
i even find the time to fire up moretv and have it in a corner while i buff and i STILL can keep all checked...
not even using that bivotimer (yet) someone mentioned. since.. whiel i buff i can check power and bivo timer, and if its above 1:20 when i start next client i know i can finish him off befiore gettign next bivo.
this is no moan,whne,rant, but it sound strange that you keep insisting of "i need a possible. iam not afk. but i need a cheat/trick/hint/exploit do to somethign whats not possible ingame"
sorry, feel free to 1 star me, but iam still right :-P

I have something to say about this. I for one am sick of waiting around in a line for a non-afk doctor to buff me, and then I also run into the problem of having to find a doctor to buff me when I need them. The AFK doc is great, you go to his shop and he is there to buff you, no lines, no hunting, just in and out. And the AFK doc is usually charging alot less for buffs than a non-afk doc.
Same thing for musicians and dancers. You really think that if they got rid of the afk dancing there would be dancers around? They would be scarce, cuz who in there right mind thinks it acutally fun to sit around and press F1 over and over again. Not many people.
The only thing I see here is a bunch of whinners that are scared they are going to loose business because they know that AFK doc is better than them sitting in coro buffing people all day. And dont even try and say its about the character interaction, a lot of those BOTS are peoples second accounts that they run to make the game BETTER, and yes it works. I for one would be extremely pissed if BOTS were not around. For one it would be impossible to find a mind buff, and two you waste endless time to track these players down. I know of one shop to get buffs from a doc a dancer in one stop, and yes its botted, BUT I LOVE IT.
So i got my 2 cents in, now why dont you all start the flame on me and say that I dont know what I should like about the game.
LONG LIVE BOTS!!!!

Because as Grandma used to say “it’s not fair to engage in a battle of wits with the unarmed.”
