Thread: Doctors Hear The Call...

It takes 140 skill points to get master doctor. Tat leaves you with 110 other points to use to earn money. Quit whininig and take another class. There are so many ways to earn money in this game it's scary. On top of that, you get massive exp for each heal so it's not like you don't get anything. If anything you should pay injured people so that you can get xp from them. In fact, I have before. Just try playing the game and earn your money the old fashioned way and quit crying when one out of every 30 people don't tip you.
Well if it is so easy to earn money in this game, then why are people so unwilling to pay for healing? All other classes can do missions that gives them money AND xp.
As a master doctor I don't need more xp, but often when I ask for payment many just laughs and say they rather sit in the medical center for hours rather than pay for healing.
Once on Endor one person came up to me with 600+ ham wounds and a pet that needed a lot of uses from my small supply of stim C, wich I had great pain toobtainstuff for as novice doctor. I asked for a meager 2k as payment and he called me greedy bitch and slapped me on the face and was very rude.
Nowdays I only go to medical centers when waitng for friends who wants to be buffed or nead healing. I had so bad experince as novice doctor that I never will spend one second more than neccesary in a medical center and I'm certain that I could get more respect and money as a prostitute than being a doctor in a medical center.

lol......
I never go to Med Centers anymore. Even as a Novice Doctor I rarely went there! Igot a med droid and hung out at the Star Port. I got1000 timesmore tips at the Star Port than I ever did at a Med Center. People are very pushy and rude. "Hello?!? Can I get a heal over here?!?" I've also been called "greedy" when I asked to be compensated for my services. It's unfortunate.
I love being CH and Doc. I can make some extra cash doing missions with my GSP, I'm self sufficient because I can heal myself and make cash from crates from my factory. I also make cash on the side doing buffs as well for people.
How is it that people can easily ascertain that buff's require money, but being healed doesn't?
Wow, nice thread sithlord. I never really thought about it but my healiing experience is the same as yours. I will freely give away heals to nice people and friends in need and they generally tip. Not always but most of the time. (To be honest, my friends do not try and tip me anymore because they know I will tip them back a larger amount) I never ever expect a tip for services rendered. When I get one it is always a pleasant suprise. Be kind to your fellow players and they will be kind back... seems to work that way for me.
If you see a fellow spouting leet speak and being an ass I can assure you I won't be healing him.
Hmmm I don't advertise being a master doctor either, I don't like explaining that I don't make medicines for people in tells all the time. I don't make medicines period, but I am starting to stockpile resources for meds.(I may start making them now becuase the Master Doctor in our guild is in semi retirement from making medicines).
As far as the medical center, I must agree with the above poster, it sucks and the people in there generally suck. Go out in the field and get your experience. Hang out in the cantina and heal and flirt with the dancers... they are not going to tip either but at least its fun. Toe sucking macro's are you friends.
As far as the heal people before they ask thingy that Sithlord said... my god that is so true!!!! Most silly sized tips I have recieved have been unsolicited heals.
Oh yeah one other thing... if you see some poor soul lying in town or in the med center on endor (or any where else for that matter) with completly black bars, help him get on his feet and get back to a planet without disease infested animals or flamethrowers. Most of the time it is a young kid that does not know the game and did not know any better. Don't expect payment... just be kind. I have dropped what I am doing so many times to help someone that is just starting out... they will not pay you for your kindness when you help them but they will pay it back to someone else down the road.
I hear the call my fellow Doctor's to be a healer... not rich in game. And I still have more money than I need to buy everything I use and help the people around me.
Sith, you are a moron. Pay people to heal them? That is the dumbest thing I have heard. You say there are so many ways to make money, but then say we should go do what everone else is doing. Expecting to at least break even on the costs of healing people is not being unreasonable.
By your logic the combat types should have to PAY to kill mobs. After all, they are getting experience from it right?
What a wonderful idea. Everyone should pay for getting experience in there chosen profession.
As I said, YOU ARE AMORON.
