Now that is just goofy! How are we being taking advantage of? Is someone holding your pet hurton hostage and forcing you to buff them? I just don’t get it. No one can make you buff them, there is no way anyone can even know you’re a doctor unless you wear the title and/or make your character searchable.

You might be able to make a case that we are under appreciated but hey, get over it!

I enjoy being a doctor and no one is taking advantage of me. If you don’t enjoy being a doctor change professions, but please stop the constant whining!

Thank you for your very constructive reply to my post, Ashine...

Firstly, I do not have a pet hurton - the only pets I have are a Rancor which I can no longer use since I dropped CH and a Bantha that I've been meaning to find someone to mount for me, but haven't had a chance yet. And, of course, my trust medical droid.

Secondly, you took my post in a way it wasn't meant to be taken. Doctors ARE being taken advantage of by almost every profession. People "expect" us to be able to buff them. People "expect" us to heal their wounds for free. I don't mind healing wounds, and I'm thrilled when someone sees fit to tip me (I never ask for tips when healing - I think that's a little too much like begging) but I don't like the attitude that a lot of people seem to have that we are here to make THEIR game more fun. We're not working here, we're playing a game.

Constant whining? Please. Have some sense. Was I whining? No. I was merely stating my opinion in a rational manner. I don't appreciate your insults, but I can see you point of view. You really should, though, look up the meaning of "constant" in a dictionary (probably one without so many pictures) and perhaps look at the posts I've made in this forum and others and see all the "non-whining" I've done.

Sorry, you were whining. Call it an opinion but you were whining. This is yet another poor-underappreciated-underpaid-no-one-understands-us-overworked-targets-of-rudeness thread. Don't get me wrong, we docs love these threads because we can't but help to repsond to every single one of them - myself included.

But don't take umbrage for getting tagged as a whiner.

PS. I may not know any Latin but I used the word "umbrage" in corrct context and deserve points for that.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I hunt and buy my own janta blood and the packs that go over 1000 power have 300 power janta blood in them and decent resources, most of which I try to harvest myself. I am beginning to stop buffing the public, but I still have a list of about 100 regular customers who pay around 100k for the buffs because they don't come any higher than mine. Not to gloat or anything, but on Bloodfin, the unofficial PvP server, buff stats count and to date I have not seen any packs that go as high as mine. Granted, some have come close, but my base power on my packs has not been duplicated. For Doctor clothes, I only paid about 300k for my outfit, then about 2 mill in wound treatment speed tapes etc ( I have +45 wound treatment speed just in case you are wondering), about 20 mill for my doctor experimentation tapes (5 crafter apron, 25 in skill tapes), droid batteries arent too expensive, brandy isnt TOO terribly expensive, bivoli can run the price up some times, and havla for those who think that a buff in 30 seconds takes to long and needs a 3 second instant gratification. For all of this, AND RESOURCES, people still want to tell me I'm greedy. Thanks 12 yr olds, you make the world go round.

Oh yeah, one last issue I forgot to address. I have a screeny of me at 1 am with a line of 250 people plus in the Coronet Starport when I was the only doctor there. Granted the line was gone in about an hour and a half, it still seemed to take forever. I'll be postin the screeny soon.
