I'm only at Novice, but when I ask other Doctors for buffs, I say this:


Sorry to bother you, but if it isn't too much to ask could (answer 1 or 2):


ANSWER 1:you please buff me?

ANSWER 2: I please get in line for your buffs?


I never got a bad answer back except for one Spanish guy that thought I couldn't speak Spanish. Not to be repeated words...hehe

Well I usually welcome people asking me for a buff.
If I'm wearing my master doctor title, it's because I'm here to buff



But, strangely enough will you maybe say, what I hate seeing is :


- Are you selling Buffs??


=> I know it can sound strange, but I dislike seeing the word "sell" used that way. If I sell buffs, to me it means "sell packs".


It's annoying me :/


- random_player says : hey Doc, buffing ??


=> WHO are you addressing? Don't I have a name? Am I supposed to know if I'm the only doctor around here? Can't you at least name me, so that I know you are addressing me?



As for the annoying people, complaining about buffs, I actually never had that, in 1 month of buffing. My packs are not that great, but I announce that my buffs are between 1050 and 3400, period. I charge 8k, whatever the time or place, and refunded twice 4k, cause 5 ouf ot 6 were in the 1200 and I felt miserable about it. Very often I have had people congratulating me cause those were the best buffs they had seen in weeks ^^



I loOooove the peeps who will come up to me and ask in a rp manner.


Or at least politely.
But I won't even answer to a


"BUFF ME !!"


Had that a couple times, and I do not accept being addressed like that.


I m not a NPC buffing around, I'm a real person you know



All in all, I am pleased with my job.

What gets me is when people ask "Are your buffs good" .......which in response I say "Yes I am using 850 power, wit +50 mods so they are as good as I can get em, but they are still random". About 50-75% of the people out there are like ok sweet I'll take a full set. That moronic 25% alwayssays "If you get below 1500 I won't pay you". now **edit** is up with that. thats the reason I ask for payment up front, im not gonna waste a whole set of buffs on someone who won't pay for anything under 1.5k thats just stupid.


Also the questions:

"Can you heal my mind wounds?" - Umm...sry not an entertainer (Yes I got this one)

"Are you buffing?" - No 10-15 people are sitting around me with my Master Doctor tag on, because I am a sexy Dosh

"If I pay you extra can I get better buffs than everyone else?" - Sure you can (they have to be better than SOMEONE)

"Do you know any Master Doctors who are buffing?" - Look at my tag and ask that question again


Some people can be really stupid at times. But the people who are really nice, thank you for your buffs, and are all around good people more than make up for the few that just don't understand any profession but their own.

i would love to gather a nice little doc community on each server and go on STRIKE!



It would be so funny to watch everyone run around offering higher + higher prices for their buffs (some docs will be surprised at what you can get offered!) you never know it might actually turn the hunting community back into JUST THAT! instead of single people going off and trying to solo the hardest thing they can find! they would actually need to work as a team instead. anyway i just think it would be ammusing if even for 1 day no doc was buffing. then we will see the real politeness coming out of people as the grovel at your feet.



docs allow people to last longer and do better when out on hunts. we do deserve much more respect but at the same time we cant moan at every /tell we get for buffs. honestly its expected! yes it does get annoying. but to the truly idiotic you can just politefully reply "no, sorry i cant at the moment, perhaps later" if they continue /telling then /addignore! problem solved

ROFL!!!

i had all of them

ok ok i dont usually go around with master doctor or any related as title, but ok one day i feel like sitting and just sell buff, i get to coronet i change my title and sit next to my droid... ok the first person is ok to ask "can u buff? or r u buffing?" but the next one and the others not. it gets annoying like when i first started as a doc everyone just sit around and sent a lots of tells and even starts talking to me, and when is not that we (girls) get by stupid (boys) say to us wow u r cute!!!

ok from time to time i get this smartass asking me... how good r ur buff??? or heyyy this sucks.... im what **edit** when r people gonna understand that the buff were random

ok the best part is when u r almost out of buffs packs and u have like 3 or 4 top of buffs to sell and u have a line of 10 people or more u shout that u have only 3 and the really desperate ones tips u like 3 times what u charge so he/she will get a buff.... or when u like closed ur shop and go u received a tell from the desparete one saying "ill paid u 25k for a buff and we can go someplace else" im always damn it im really out of packs

also one time i got a tell from someone who was overt and he wanted a buff but couldnt come to coronet, so i was doing nothing so i went and got tef too btw

what a hate more... i can rez ok but before i started tka i hang out with friends or my boyfriend or just people around me killing things ok we group and i always get rez pls oh yea i could rez them but i got killed after sooooooo WHO WAS GONNA REZ ME!

well we should post a msg on each server title how to treat a doctor?

I often have the players form a line when i want to sell buffs and I get like 309402349 tells asking "can I get a buff" and I am thinking, look at the dang line you terd. "Can I get in line for a buff" also annoys me but it's a smart question if they don't want to wait an hour and then get told I ran outa buffs. I also hate the "how good are your buffs" question but it's a legitimate one, but if I am the only doc around I litterally ignore it, if other docs around I just say "i dunno" hoping they go to the other doc and leave me alone lol.

Kind of off topic, but this always made me laugh:


I had a char, who I no longer play, who had mastered doc. After the badges for mastering a profession came out I would occaisionally be sitting around and get a tell asking for a rez or buffs or something (probably because I was wearing a CM title and they examined me). I would politely explain I was no longer a doc and usually that was that.


One day some guy actually argued with me about it to the point he was cussing me and all 9 yards. I just had to laugh... some people.

Most annoying to me is: "R U Buffing/Price/Stats?" I never give the stats of my buffs anymore. I just tell them, "Good buffs at a fair price." I make them come to the Hotel (Coronet), email the credits and then trust (or gambol) that I'm telling the truth. I'm not sure why I do this really. I guess it makes me feel like less of a buff bot more like an actual person who is either worthy of trust or is not.I love the long pauses when I know they're sizing me up andconsidering the risk. It leads to some interesting conversations.
