Having just dropped MD yesterday (and boy am I glad I did) I have something to say about this situation.


Why is it so hard for people to understand the following?


1) We're all here to PLAY a GAME.

2) MD's are not pez dispensers. No matter how hard you pull their hair, they do not have to spit out that buff.

3) It is nearly always possible to find a buff at C'net or Dant MO. If no one's buffing there, wait 5 minutes, and someonewill be.

4) When an MD is not buffing in a starport, flying his flag, or when s/he is AT THE GEO CAVES, that's a pretty good sign that s/he is PLAYING THE GAME.

5) When you /tell an MD for a buff while they are clearly PLAYING, you are making them stop playing to WORK.


Work. Not play... Work.

My opinion? You got off easy with 5k. Would never DREAM of asking a doc at the bottom of the Geo Caves to come buff me. Ever. And as a Doc, you should know better.

I personally think you are both a bit dense. I wouldn't leave the bottom of the geo cave for 50k and I would definately think something is wrong if I were to ask for a buff in the geo cave and get the reply 5k. If 5k is too much for you then you are obligated to make more money. I understand the lure of the loot but you have priorties you have to get sorted out first. I wouldn't go anywhere without a million these days and if I ever get to the point that 5k is too much money then I am not going to the geo caves. I'm catching the next shuttle to Dant.


You will get good XP and a lot of money on Dant. sure the loot isn't quite as nice as the geo caves but you do not belong there if 5k is a bank breaker for you. Go earn some money then play the big content. What were you going to do when your chest plate fails in the geo cave? expect one for 5k? You need money first. Then work on getting nice loot.


Here is a tip for you. If you ever ask someone at a POI or in any remote location to buff you, give them more then they ask. Always. It saves you from going to a big city to get it done. If you want to use some sort of math to figure out the tip, what would it cost you to travel to Coro and back and wait 30 minutes+. The return trip to Coro from Yavin is almost 5k.


Put it this way, even if he was going to buff you for 5k, you should have given him 50k anyway.


Spend at least one buff on Dant in a solo group before you go back to the caves.

I know why he left the bottom of the geo cave... he's helpful. I would have too in that situation. Just my nature, I guess.

I dont know about you guys, but when a person gives me some cash, owes me more money, I DONT GIVE BACK THE MONEY!

Simply put, lets say that normal price for a buff is 15k, 50k - 15k = 35k. The poster has 5k, and is still owed 30k IMO.

Given the amount of pissing whining and ranting going on, Im more inclined to believe that this guy decided to stiff the doc and try to get the buffs anyway, by getting the doc out to where he was, figuring he wouldnt see that he was mistipped, or that he would just buff anyway since he was there.

If he truely did think it was 5k instead of 50k, hell learn to read. When someone quotes you a really wierd price for something, usually you look twice to make sure you read it properly, not just assume that the bizarre price was correct.

I am totally on the side of the doctor here, only I wouldnt have come up from the caves to buff the guy, Id have told him to go back to coronet and get a buff.

Hiya,


I'd say you handled this rather well and did the right thing. But what really gets me rolling in the aisles is that the monkey and his organ grinder seemed to think it's okay to try and short change a doc 45K for a buff after dragging him out of the Geo Caves. I mean come on! If the monkey is tough enough to enter the Geo Caves he's been buffed before, he knows the price ofbuffs, and the organ grinder, oh puh-lease where do these neanderthal children come from?

Yeah did fine, but i would of told the guy to wait till i was finished.


I have been knee deep in NS and getting tells, not good since they have been nerfed and cant quite easily dispense me off tothe clone centre nowdays.


Plus im still in shock at the 50k price tag!


Sorry but Infinity the going rate is at worst 20k(and then u get moans)...your severs economy is obvioulsy way higher than ours....wow

I think it was handled well.



It does not matter where in the cave the doc was, the mere fact that you are pulling him out of it to service you(or a guildies) needs is enough for the 50k price tag. It is some piss poor planning to show up at the cave without a buff IMO, and if you were there already and need a rebuff how you you not afford the 50k price tag?

Personally, I wouldn't have even answered any tells if I was at the bottom of the Caves. Course, I never had a problem getting down, it was always a problem getting out that I get killed.


But who in their right mind would go out there without a buff anyway??? I can't even get a doc to rez me in there. let alone get a doc to come all the way up to buff me.


Certainly wouldn't stiff him tho. I've had people tip 1k when my buff price was 10k, funny how people do that.


I think I would have waited til I had a confirmed bank tip for 50k before heading up tho.

1. I did not know he was at the bottom of the geo cave because i could not walk in i would of been attacked.

2. I tiped him the 5k on the agreement of a buff does this mean i have the right to stand in coronet saying 10k for buffs wait till the person tips then not give buffs?

3. I only said it too much because i thought he put 5k

4. And he can keep the 5k i really don't care i only had ago at him because he thought he was right to steal it for me.

5. and what blasphemy all ive said about him is he took 5k off me which was not the price of the buff fine but he should of returned themoney and i would of never been having this argument.

You are the dense one mate for not reading the previous posts.

Alot of people here are saying i am wrong for making him come from the bottom of the geo cave. I did not know he was at the bottom of the cave. he was less than a 100m from the entrance to me i miss read i made a mistake i can't afford to pay 50k andi don't wanna spend a few hours on dant getting money. Because your all suggesting this and all i wanted was to kill things at the geo for loot nothing more.

1) at the bottom or past the first kwi, he still went out of his way to come for your sake
2) so were you expecting a 1/10 of the buff? I wouldn't give you a partial buff for partial payment either
3) again, if 5k is too much for you maybe you should just visit yavin for the POI's
4) stealing would be if he reached into your inventory and took your money, which is impossible. you GAVE it to him
5) blasphemy is quite a strong word imo, but you still wasted his time because of YOUR mistake

Longbow, you make my brain hurt.
