Bravo, i applaud the previous 2 poster for proving there is already an effective payment system in game...

and why another one created by the devs (who seem to me couldnt boil water sometimes) would even be desirable or effective?

seems the last 2 post prove that if u wanna get paid for heals you can get paid for heals...

I just saw the funniest thing tonight. I was in my weaponsmiths shop, and he put new guns on the vendor. Now those of you who are familiar with thoax on Gorath will know that he has roughly 20-35 people in his shop, anytime he is on. They are all waiting for guns. I won't say how many emails he recieves in a day, but I will say it is more than I have received in total since I started playing, including system messages. Its over 1k people. This guy is crazy popular. So on with the story

Tonight I'm in his shop, and low and behold after some people waited for hours he finally emerges with new pistols. Fraed the naked dancing slicer also happened to be there to slice newly purchased weapons. Just after he put thte new guns up for sale, they were sold out. Immediately following this I watched a person who had bought 3 of the same exact gun, take all 3 over to fraed to get them sliced. He wanted to buy 3 and have all sliced so he would have a better chance at a good slicing. These guns were running I believe 15k a piece and Fraed was charging 2k a slice. In total this means he spent over 50k just to get a good gun w/ a good slice.

This same person the other day refused to pay me in the medical center when I prompted for payment upfront. As many of you know I was a bounty hunter and gave it up to go doctor just so I could charge people upfront and attempt to change the nasty trend I see with doctors getting the short end of the stick. So at this point most doctors are doing destroy missions to pay for the medical supplies so they can heal other people who are too cheap to give good tips? Yet then they run over and drop over 50k on a weapon?

Until the day I see people no longer spending ludicrous amounts of money on houses, guns, and armor, I will charge for my healing and charge well. I may not get to master doctor as fast as the free guy, but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend half my day doing destroys, 30% of it crafting meds, and then 20% more healing people for free so they can go spend 80k on armor and 50k on a gun.

For all of you who think I'm a "money grubbing pig". **edit** off, you wanna be poor? Be poor. I'm a money grubbing pig and proud of it.

Three cheers for money grubbing pigs!!!!!!!

I would just like to check if some of these Doctors and medics know there is a actual planet outside the med center? There are lots of ways to make money in this game besides just sitting in the med center whining about not being tipped. Last night I heard a novice doctor complaining that he doesn't get tipped and how he doesn't have any money. I asked him if he knew that there were missions and groups out there. He said he wasn't a marksman or a fighter. I informed him that that was his problem. Invest a little time into pistol skill. Stop sitting in the med center and whining to patients about tips. The amount of time you complain and whine is the amount of time you could have made 3k in 2 missions. I will go on record as opposing a pay up front system.

problem is there are no terminals for anyone except fighters that are worth any money...

funny that artisans and entertainers are getting their own terminals for missions, but not medics...

im against a payment system but the fact is there needs to be something different from delivery missions which u gont get any xp for unlike destroys, for the pacifist medic/doctor...

Now that sounds like a really good system KIDD_CHAOS.
