1st: You assume to much. You assume that anyone that has a problem with a game is a whiney kid. Chances are I am older than you.

2nd: Although this is not an exploit per say it is a cheap method of completing medic/doctor. Yes tumbling takes up action, but I am sure the devs didn't mean for it to be used for a quick and easy way to grind through a profession.

I am a doc but I do not think tumblers are wrong. The devs have not posted that it was illeagal. Now I will admit that this technique is not within the spirit of the game, but people that engage in this activity are not detracting from others game experience. For the people that have to wait for heals because of partakers in tumbling; that is unfortunate but it is not their duty to heal everyone (maybe they become medics or docs for their PA or friends only). While it may be annoying to some, I just think these people are playing this game as they feel like it and as long as they are not openly detracting from my game experience, I will not judge how they play this game. Just my two cents and I am sure I am in the minority, but that is why I love this game (so many different views but one common goal of enjoyment).

I don't know why people think afk anything cheapens the effort you put in... I play for fun... if you like the hard way, then have at it, but me personally would rather get done with the boring stuff and get on with the fun... So if I buff my pets repeteadly or heal an afk tumbler it should have no direct effect on you... Now if I did that then opened a med supply shop next to you selling better stuff at half the price... then yeah, get mad, but until then... let it go and let others have fun the way they want...

Wrong or not, it is ging away with the combat balance.

BTW, My alts have been killed by bad doctors who went right to master and never learned what they are doing. I tend not to group with people that have a Mastr Doctor tag unlss I know them.

Healing damage and states is a fast and complex process and requies a lot of mind management (even with entertainer buffs) unbless you are fighting mobs easily defeatd by your group. People that did not play thir way up are falsely claiming to know what they don't (until they really learn it). I have found them dangerous.

We gt a lot of posts here "I'm a new master doc... how do I... (fill in basic doc or even medic function)?" New and Master should never be used that way together.

Tumbling isn't crap compared to the new BLACK BAR exploit...I'm not saying anymore, cause it'll be exploited more.

I don't know if we should be mad at the exploiters or the stupid DEV's, that, even when we bug it and report exploits, they don't fix them.

Look its really simple, if tumbling was such a huge concern and an exploit like a credit dupe they would make tumbling a combat only action like feign death for a smuggler. The /activate clone should probably not be used but then again if a simple command like this was introduced into the system how can using a smiple command be an exploit. If ppl hate doing these things so much then dont use em, but thats not the issue. The issue is ppl complain because they want to play the game the way the feel it should be played, the only rules that apply are the actual game mechanics and how everything works. If you feel like an afk tumbler is cheating the system and you have a bug up your (Deleted) and feel small because you yourself dont want to do it that way thats your problem. Game mechanics stand how they are and those are the set rules for the game, not your version of correctness.

Never heard of the black bar exploit, I do however know of our artisans sampling radioactive by hand is real nice to heal
