A lot of interesting responses...large majority that are people tooting their holier than tho horn. While I am not sure about the forced tip prior to rez...that is his personal choice same as armorsmith choice to set price of his/her armor on their vendor.

Some say they gather their own resources..and your point? Does it not cost you to run said harvesters? Does it not cost you time and effort to survey and maintain said harvesters? If you think so little of your time no wonder clients think so little of your abiltities.

Working on master doctor atm on my alternate..have been reading these forums and see the same theme seen in dancers..Have been a dancer on my main since July..quit dancing with the exception of when I want to for some of the same things I see listed here...no appreciation from time and the profession itself demeaning each other as worthy to the community.

Some say they buff guildies for free...in a guild that gathers meats etc for you that is great...mine doesnt so no they wont get free ones..discounted for sure but only free to those that help me. Learned as armorsmith , the ones that bring me hides get greatly discounted armor..those that only help themselves and no one else in guild get charged. I am not greedy or selfish but not a rug for people to walk on either.

In the short time I have been training..have healed tons of ppls wounds who never even said ty much less a tip..will i charge for wounds when master? Yep per wound ahead of time unless a friend guildie or group member. Try going to real life doc for free rofl...they now make you pay deductible before being seen too as have been stiffed way too many times.

Come on people...have some pride in your time and effort . Doesnt matter how you get your resources bought or on your own..to give away your time is bad business and will eventually add up. Not saying under certain circumstances it is not correct or if you want to say 50% of the time but lets see most guildies hand over stacks of meat for you for free or milk to guild chef etc for free...rarely happens. Thats why most docs/entertainers poor and hunters rich. My alt is tka master and is getting doc for the enjoyment..can harvest my own meat but still takes more time and group members have to wait onme. Could sell some of this meat anywhere from 30cr unit on up. I can make 100k on missions alone in no time not including loot. Not all docs have fighter skills so they have to buy these things. Why should someone who goes out making millions not pass on say 1000 cr for a rez? If they are in the high risk areas ya they can afford it..even if slightly poor atm because they just bought akme "uber" armor they will get that cash back up shortly. Sorry for the rant but have seen same theme in entertainer threads since July...old sore spot wth me lol.

Well if u ask me its all down to one thing

Manners

If anyone begs me for **edit** , they get nothing.

If people are nice and respectful , I give out free buffs and any med service

as for all this is the cost worth it or is the hassle worth it, well guys and gals ,its just a freaking game, dont get high blood pressure over it.

I put 3 million into our city and gave away about 15 house deeds and 500K in cash to newbies and stuff cosI get more of a kick helping people acheive stuffwhich without my help they might not be able to acheive , that what makes me wealthy, not CASH ,so charging for a rez, like i said b4, i dont charge but a thank you is always nice

Money it is DARKER than the DARK SIDE itself

even bloody monopoly mone like this game has

Credits not worth the electronic data storage space they take up

You know, I think back to beta, and right around release when it was considered bad etiquite to not tip a medic for healing your wounds. It was practicly expected. These days a tip for a wound heal is pretty rare.

I always rez for free, even if it takes me running into a pack of 20 rancors unarmed with no armor. Heck, sometimes i try to make it interesting to see how dangerous of situations i can run into. I think the worst is running 2m from an executioner with no armor and rezzing a person. Soon after the executioner killed me, but the person i rezzed happened to be a master doc himself and gave a rez to me.

Of course when I get rezzed, I always tip.

OK, I will take the other side.

You mentioned resouce cost, so lets take a look.

16 org 2 cpu = 32 cr

16 inorg 2 cpu = 32 cr

3 LS 2 cpu = 72 cr

1 BEC2 cpu =72 cr

total = 208 cr using junk resouces your will get about 20 rez's per pack so thats a cost of about 10 cr per rez.

Now, come on, please don't use the "I have resouce costs" excuse.

It does not make a big difference in the rez kit what type of resouces you use to make the kit out of. Sure, you may loose a little wound healing and a few charges but thats about it. So make it out of scrap stuff. If your making stims your bound to have some left over ALS, ABEC's so just use the left overs.

Sure, it is to the dead guys advantage to have you rez them. But do you really want to take that advantage? Do you think if you were in the bunker and under fire he would just stand there and say "my weapon and armor cost me cr" and make you tip him to help you? Is that really how you want to play this game?

I am not saying everytime someone wants a rez you have to stop what your doing to rez them. I is perfectly fine to just say "no" for what ever reason you want.

However, if your standing next to a dead guy who is asking for help just give it to him if for no other reason than to be a nice guy. The cost to you is so so small and the possible reward of making a new friend will be worth more than any tip you will ever get.

Well if you are using garbage resource, remember using good resource means they can be rezed with minimal wounds.

Personally if someone is next to me, dead, wants a rez I will give it to them. If they give me a tell and take away from what I am doing they pay (I get tells all the time to go to the krayt graveyard to rez).

Resource may not be significant but your time is. And also is the fact that their items will not decay (unless factional death).
