I saw where some servers make people get into an actual line. I think that is funny looking. How are you going to keep someone from cutting in line? You cannot push them out of it or punch them in the head! You cannot even attack them unless they accept a duel or your both overt. I like and use the bank tip option. It makes total sense. I do not delete the email until after I am done buffing them and while I wait for the message that says I am ready to buff the next person. But now, in my spam or my AFK message since I get alot of those from people standing next to me while I am buffing someone, I include no bank tip, no buff, no exceptions.
How do you know who's next to be buffed???

Here are a few things that may have been mentioned but I might have missed them.
1. Creat a new chat window that only has system measages. /emote does not show up there.
2. Color code key words. I use red for "Tip", blue for "Enhance", alternate color for "Action", "Health", etc. This makes it very easy to scroll back and see which stat you may have missed due to a dead droid battery or some other reason.
3. The line is your friend. Buffies love the line because they know their place and how many people there are before them. It was fun to watch the trend run through Flurry. A few docs started doing it an now it is everywhere. The folks in line keep the line in order. The doc does nothing more than say "next!". So much easier than checking your email, especialy with lag.
4.Make some macro's for buffing and for responding to tells. You will get the same questions over and over so just make two macros.
/r I am at xxx, My buffs are hitting xxx for yyy hours. The cost is ZZZ. Please only tip when it is your turn in line.
/t %NT My buffs are hitting.......
/t %NT your next, you may tip XX now and I will start buffing you.
Make an alias for them so all you have to do is type /buffinfo or what every you choose ot call it.
5. If your using bivoli look to see how long it lasts then set up a macro to eat some as soon as it expires.
Place the food in one tool bar slot and the macro in another.
/ui actiontoolbar xx; for the food (sorry, I dont have the syntax just right)
/pause yyy; (food duration time)
/ui actiontoobar zzz; (macro location)
If your going to be bufing for a long time then put a few food items in your tool bar and have them alternate.
6. Don't forget to use /dump when your done buffing.
7. With all this rolling you will have time to chat with your buffie. So keep it friendly and have fun.

Thanks, just got scam and that person insisted that he have tipped me when I can't find the message of a tip except from the guy before him.
And the total cr in cash is 15k where 10k is from the 1st guy I buff.
After that, I stopped buffing people in coronet. I guess I will stop buffing people as I can earn cr through mission.

I'm on Wanderhome buffing in Coronet all the time, and people form a very nice and straight line...sometimes when I log in there is already a line formed in front of me...lol... very little cutting, and when it happens, the people in line tend to sort it out amongst themselves...I honestly don't know of a better way to deal with 30 people who all want buffs at the same time..

First of all... the Bank tip HAS BEEN FIXED. The send should read BANK now ... and there is no way to mimic this.
Second... those that are saying that they received the E-Mail and that they will forward it to you are of course lying! By saying that ... you are then able to write your own tip E-Mail.
Third... REPORT THEM!!!!!! This is just like Double SLicing and speed hacking. It's going agienst the games design just to get ahead.
I think I will go to a major city today and buff. Just to catch these jerks.

On other servers they dont make lines? On bloodfin its ALL lines. There are some cutters but they get chewed out by other people in line. i've never seen a doc that was not saying "Please form a line in front of me!"
Thats funny as Hell! I could just see a Doc in Ahazi try to make ppl get in line! I dont even think 1/2 the ppl in Ahazi would know how to make a line!

I'm a Tempest Doc, the only scam tried on me so far was the 'I'll pay you afterwards' one that I posted... other than that I usually meet nice polite and patient people, which helps as sometimes my line in the mining outpost can stretch for quite a ways
My spam shouts that my buffs are hitting +2500 to all stats for +3.5 hours, it's 10k for buffs, plz form an orderly line and DO NOT TIP UNTIL IT'S YOUR TURN.
So far only had one person run up and tip me flat out - he was trying to hop the line/didn't realise there was one, I didn't have to say a thing, 20 people in my line began chewing the guy out, I tipped him his 10k back and he went to the end of the line all was good.

Did you group with them? The first thing I thought when I read that was that a squad leader could be sending system messages to the whole group that said:
"Spaceman Spiff tips you 10000 credits"
