/yawn


I'm a master doc 99 percent of the time, however Isometimes drop a portion of doc (crafting tree usually) to get hunting 4 to harvest my own damn resources, so I end up with 4/4/4/0 for a few days while I harvest meat.. dothe dorks that think this is a good idea want to force me to go looking for someone else to buff me?!?


Give me a break, there is nothing wrong with the current buff system at all, there are enough benefits for master doctors already so leave well enough alone.


Let this goofy thread die already!

some people really don't know what they are saying.. most people look for masters to be buffed anyway.. .and when they want to buff themselves they often aren't master.. I see no problem with that. I do know that a good portion of a crafting doc's business comes from MU 90 buffs. If you want to nerf our own business, by all means go ahead...

I expect the med use level to rise when the combat balance comes so that only master docs can use d packs.





The Enhance D packs were raised from around 75-76 to lower 90's several months back. I don't see this changing again. I've been a Master Doctor longer than anyone I know, and I see no need for Masters to have a monopoly on high level buffs. If anything like this goes through, then the /tells for buffs will just get worse. You will eliminate about 50% of the buffers on a server, and the combat characters will get more and more demanding when looking for buffs. If only Master Docs can buff effectively, then I will not buff anyone for less than 20K if I have to deal with the added harassment.

I see no reason for this. If you believe they are taking money from you make them the 90 med use packs and racke in the money.


Most 0240 docs are either just buffing themselves or being buff bots in front of the coronet starport.


They will never get packs as good as a master doc can use, and even at the same level of packs you will buff better.


Personally most master docs dont "buff bot" that much. They don't need to.


Let the buff bots continue. There will not be enough Masters to buff people if this is done. And most of us do not want constant tells to buff someone whane we want to do other things.


Buff prices will increase because of fewer buffers, but I see no need to raise prices.

Bladepoint unles you plan to stay at the mining post and buff 24/7 then stop bitching about AFK docs. I run a AFK buff hosue with my alt Avenia. I had planed on closing it down when i opend up Jedi but now i have 150 - 250 peeps come buy my buff hosue every day. I log her in and get 10 tells in less then 1 minut so mabe you have a gripe with Afk buff houses but IMHO many non Doc players like them. And about the wound healing with a AFK doc this can be added to a macro with NP.


Im sick of peeps in SWG tring to push there openions on everyonr else and we all have dif, ways we play the game.









its not a matter of pushing opinions afk buffing requires no time on your part, no effort, no interaction and for all the little effort you get lots of cash, its more a statement of fact and ethics

Like I posted in the other thread, breaking the buffbot might be coming in pub 9, the buffbot depends on targeting the house or something that is invalid to buff. With the code change coming that says if the target is invalid then self buff, that will break the buff bots.


As to master doc only buffing, why do people always want to take things away? Leave it alone, if there not master they only get 75 anyway. Thats fair and most Docs do not exp easy of use on packs anyway. They go for buff power.

...Who cares? The only interaction you get from buffing is the "hOw much u buff", "buff me", "what? 8k is 2 much", and the lovely "can u buff my mind? 4 free?" tells. I actually hate buffing in a busy city, so more power to them.

While I don't like AFK anything (except tumblers ) I strongly disagree about makingbuffing for Master Docs only.


It's been very helpful to me to be able to buff myself for 550 or so in all stats, using my own enhance B's. It makes a big difference when I go hunting, and I feel good benig able to give a boost to my friends for free.


Paying people only want buffs from masters anyway, so what's the problem?

I agree with this. The buff bots do the job that I don't like to do. I only do buff sessions about once a week or so, and never in Coronet.

Why'd you have to grief all the tumblers? They weren't hurting you.

I hope you realize that this is considered griefing and can get you banned if they reported you.

They were not interferring in your gameplay in any way so what gives you the right to grief them?
