Thread: Do you tip your tumbler?
Itipped tumblers plenty 5k a box. Thanks to tumblers I made 4440 doc from novice medic in a couple days. Thank you tumblers!
Oh, and for all the tumbler haters out there. I heal every body I see that needs it even now as a master doc when I don't need the exp. Lucky for me I do it out of the kindness of my heart cause I rarely even get a thank you for healing let alone a tip.

I tip tumblers, I'm also the sucker who gives credits to those people who send tells: "Can I have 3k. I just started".
I tend to base the amount on what I get out of it. If there are tons of people healing and I don't get much xp I will give a smaller tip than to the guy who is not being healed and I level multiple times from his services. I know this has nothing to do with the person tumbling, but more with who is around, how many tumblers, etc etc... but I still think it is a fair way to judge.
I can see both sides. I can see how AFK tumbler annoy some peeps, but I left mine on AFK cause I was helping others by doing it. I know there are more honorable ways of getting your XP, but truthfully sitting in a hospital is boring as hell. I drop my tumblers the SECOND someone comes in. I dont even ask who or if anyone needs healing, I just target and if they need it I have a macro set to heal all their wounds.
I am glad I made this post. I can see how each side feel much clearer than before. Too many good points were made for me to quote and respond. I have to agree there are better ways, but if you go the tumbler route then no big deal either.
I must say I was heal wounds on a burning bantha today. If you want to consider that lame as tumbling go ahead, I do, but I was laughing so damn hard I almost wet myself. If you havent done this you gotta try it. Burn the bantha when it drops /healdamage and it gets up. Keep it awake as much as possible, when it's health bar is mostly black start healing wounds. It gets up and almost instantly drops again with a painful scream. LOLOL I dont think have laughed this hard playing the game. I dont know why it was just hella funny.
By the way I dont see myself burning tha bantha again unless i need a laugh. It's much more fun to heal in combat. I swear as dumb as it was it was a good 30 minutes or more of laughing. call me nuts ![]()
I found healing tumblers deadly dull, worse if fighting a crowd of healers for the XP. My preference is hunting for black bars in crowds. But tumblers are a great way to finish off that level, and I tip so there will be someone there the next time I want to. It is stupid not to look for and heal the actual wounded, the XP is better and, as was mentioned, it is on a different timer.

I got a majority of mine "Stealth Healing" as I called it. I would run around coronet looking for black bars and just healing them. On occasion I would get tipped. I would send a tell to the person after the first heal telling them I was getting med xp the old fashioned way. Then I would thank them for letting me heal them up. I had one guy run off after the first heal, and then come back a minute later thanking me and letting me finish up the other stats. I would also Diagnose everyone. Because those secondary stats get wounds too, and sometimes nohealth/actionwounds and 200+ on the substats.
I got really into my role as a stealth healer, laughing while i was doing it. I only wish I had a black cape with hood that I could wrap around myself as I was sneaking up on those wounded.
I also did have some people ask me if I wanted them to tumble for me. I always turned them down. So one soul decided that I should kill her repeatedly and then heal up the wounds. lol. Once she cloned she scouted out wounded for me also, telling me to come to the cloner cause there were wounded. lol. Yes it was great fun and great interaction with people while I was doing that.
Well a few nights ago I tipped the tumbler that had helped me get all the medic xp. And when the person noticed I got told that please dont tip me as I dont play here. It appears that the tumbler just had made a tumbler to help us medics/docs out, how nice of the person to do such a thing. On a darker side, I never got my tip back though. :/ But I can live with the loss of a few measly credits. No to try and help others in need.
Cheers.
But I ALWAYS tip ATK tumblers. I even saw a guy using tumble to kneeling/prone/standing and jumping like this everywhere in the center for hours !!! This guy spent his own time for this and it was entertaining as well

I do. I tipped my tumblers 2,500 credits per lvl I gained. I know it can be frustrating when you tip a tumbler and someone else comes by and just starts dogging you out and taking all the XP, but sometimes that happens.
I have just noticed that for the past week I have left my player tumbling in the med center with a request for tips every 3 or 4 minutes. I come home in the morning and log back in once the servers are back up and find I made all of 0 credits. yet my wife has told me that people are constantly healing me all night until she goes to bed. So thats 12 hours of tumbling and no tips. Sometimes I do come home and see a 500 tip from one person. Kinda sad. Yeah I am AFK, but I am also helping get them XP. So tonight she told me people were all around healing me, but my balance had not changed. I told her to kill the macro.
I tipped people all the way up, even people that got used by other grinding medics. Do you tip? Why or why not? No flames please. Just let me know your reasons for tipping or not tipping without ripping into me. Thanks.
No but I give them free Strength and Quickness Buffs.
