I had one person that I buffed make a comment afterwards something like "what a waste". He's currently on my ignore list.

i wish more people would realise that they need to tip peopple for training, tip entertainers (poorly for AFK). tip medics and docs for healing and wounds. A little politeness goes a long way.

8K?!?!

PLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE come play on Kettemoor. I'll gladly pay 8K a whack AND beat the freaking beejeebus out of anyone who hassles you!

Actually, I don't like to buff for money. Uses up my buff-paks too quickly, I'm in a decent sized guild with lotsa fighters and few docs, and I have 3 accounts so my commando can always do missions for cash. However, there are ocassions when I'm REALLY low on cash and I'll sit at Dant or Dath or Endor and buff folks who ask nicely. When they ask the price, I tell 'em "The price is whatever you think the buff is worth when I'm done, since I can't guarantee the results of the buff." Surprisingly, this has always worked quite well for me. The people who don't know what's going on with the random rolls call me a noob and go look for a doc "Who knows what he's doing." The people who DO get buffs generally tip me 8-10K per set. I usually get more than the standard rate on my server (7K) and get a few chuckles if any of the rolls do come out badly. I've also buffed for barter. In the pre-Pub6 days, I buffed for a full crate of 511 Fishak. Seems if you give people the chance to be a good guy/gal, they like to take advantage of it. And I haven't been stiffed yet. I probably will be one day, and that person will then go on my S-list and the lists of my Guildmates, but so far it's been very satisfying to work this way. Oh, I keep my Master Doc title non-searchable and change to the Novice Gunfighter title when passing through Coronet or Theed.

ive had several like that. tonight i discovered a great solution though. i go afk and put in my afk disclaimer : "yes. im buffing. i charge 10k for a full buff. i use 900+ buff packs for each stat. buffs are unfortuanitly random. i give no refunds and no appologies for bad rolls. i use +110 med droid and +25 bio clothes along with bivoli timari to further enhance mybuffing abilities. if you want a buff, tip me 10k and join the back of the line. do not complain about bad rolls. i have no explanations for them. after buff is over thank me and move along. any whiners are instantly added to my ignore list. have a nice day."

with this simple disclaimer i ran out of buff packs eventually while making about twice what the other 6k buffers were making. i never spammed that i was buffing and didnt get repeated tells from potential customers. had very little question answering to do and had 0 complaints about bad rolls. the only comment made were "thanks", "great buffs", /bow. that is it. i think the customers actually want a doc to lay the law down for them. i had several customers tip well over the 10k pre pay after the buff. even a few on just some so-so buffs. they saw from the beginning that i didnt take any crap, thus they smartly decided not to give any out. i did this little experiment in coronet by the way. the infamous low priced buff market of the galaxy. did it with at least 2 other docs buffing at all time. dont know how long their lines were because i couldnt see past the pack of mine. between selling B stims and buffing, i made over 500k in about an hour and a half. was relieved when i actually rann out of packs. was going crazy. anyone left in line i buffed for 1.5k for each stat i had left. they didnt complain either. i encourage all doctors to toughen up and take up a similar policy. lay it all out before anyone has a chance to waste your timewith mindless complaints. the only negatives i even got today was in a tell. and they were along the lines of "ok. thanks. little too much for me though". they dont even go on my ignore list. they simply didnt have the funds for my amazingly efficient professional service.

xarkuhn- no crap takin doc
