Thread: Doctors Not Doing Their Duty

I'm so utterly sick and tired of going into a medical center, finding plenty of doctors, and none of them give you the time of day because they're too busy healing someone who's tumbling. Medics and doctors, you have to start doing your job. If the only reason you became a doc was to buff, give up the profession.

Yeah, this is sad, but I wouldn't stereotype the Doctor profession for it, although it seems to always be "Buff". They see the "Master Doctor" title, you're followed my swarms of:

"Buff me please"
"I don't buff"
"Why you Doc then"
"/addignore IdiotNumber1"

I know what Im going to say is going to be pure flame bait, but here goes:

I hate tumblers so much I buff their Action stats in the med centre. Its so depressing to see "A Doctor is a Master of Healing wounds" and then watching them heal a tumbler and watch that man in the corner on the bed with 1200 wounds and a disease ticking for masses of wounds as he repeatedly shouts

"Can someone heal my wounds please"

and gets ignored andflooded by:

"Tumbling 4 you plzzz t1p"

Although rarely I see Doctors doing well, they are out there, just don't let the Buff Crazy Docs get to you.

I was in the med centre the yesterday with a medic healing a load of peoples and not even getting so much as a thankyou or a tip. I am a Master Doctor and I had my tag but this guy still healed my wounds and I'm never short of wound packs he got a nice 10k tip off me.


Although let me state for the record I dont buff publically, I now refuse to cure wounds, disease and posions etc just for the lack of appreciation we get from Medic - Doctor. If this player decided to do something just for himselfm, when he's probably had to pay the tumbler something(because the tips just runneth over from quality human beings that play this game) then good. I am glad to see someone not bothering, maybe you should of asked him and offered him a tip, quite possibly you'd of got what you werehoping for.


Here look at this topic if you want to know why I'm ranting.

Don't tar all the Doc's with the same brush.


While a lot do use tumblers, there are a lot that don't. I for one do not use tumblers. I spend a lot of time in the medical facilities, healing hurt players and gaining the xp. I don't get much thanks for it and don't often get a tip, a 'thank you' would be nice once in a while.

You have a Doctor listed in your sig, so Im kind of surprised that this kind of rant comes from you. Ill spare you any generalizations aimed at you, mostly because I dont think it would do any good. All I can do is tell you how I feel.

I like bieng a Doctor, the profession fits me like a glove. I like resource hunting, crafting, and creating usefull things that dont require a huge vareity of resources, or a huge quantity like weaponsmith or archetect for example. Doc crafting for me, is just like in the story of Goldylocs and the Three Bears - Just right.

I also enjoy healing people and bieng helpfull, though here is where the rub comes. The way I make my packs, it generally doesnt cost me too much money, and even a slight tip would cover my cost. Tipped? Nope. Thanked? Nope. Require payment in advance? Get laughed at, because what I do isnt worth money to people, even though it costs me money.

At some point, even people who enjoy helping others, will find that is kind of at the least bitter sweet, when doing so comes with the realization that they are not thankfull at all for it. You are nothing to most people as a doc, but a tool for them to use when needed, and then discard.'

When people are going out and making 35k per mission at hundreds of thousands of credits per hour, and cant even spare the decency for a 500c - 1000c tip and a Thanks!, thats really pissed a lot of people off. Now some people dont mind how this seems to work, but most do.

Just my 2 cents - I was a Doctor for several months over a year ago, I return and there are far less skilled people in the med center or otherwise healing wounds. Mostly the only docs I see around have THIRTY minute lines for buffs. Ask yourself why is it that the only Docs you see, are usually the ones buffing.

Most docs I know are not in it for the money, but trying to support yourself while paying to heal other people stings, and eventually leaves Docs rubbed the wrong way for the last time.

This is interesting, but not all doctors are the same!


I am a Master Doctor / Master Combat Medic and leader of a guild of over 100 active players.


We have 5 doctors in the guild, and one of us ALWAYS attends to the need of our guild, and I ALWAYS buff my guild members for free wherever they are. If they don't behave like a doctor should, I do not let them get access to the guild's resources, so only 'genuine' doctors stick at it.


Also, if I am in a Starport or Cantina and I see people with wounds, I will ALWAYS heal them - I became a doctor to support my friends and other players, not just to buff.


I think that one of the problems with our community right now is that guilds are falling apart and the GCW is not keeping people engaged and so there are a lot of 'lone-wolves' out there. MMORPGs need people to work together... You should have a doctor in your guild or on your friends list who is always ready to help you, or life out there is pretty hard!

I agree with others, you expect us to be there at your beckon and call? Where are you to give me all my meat for free when I go hunting for requirements?! When you treat me with respect I will do the same to you, until then, you will get treatment when I am good and ready to provide it! Course, you will not see me healing tumblers either .... but given how some treat doctors, I do not blame those that do.

I KNOW!!! There are tons of people around who have no idea what their duty is!


I was running to my harvesters. And I see that nest has spawned near it so I can't get to my harvester without getting hit. But what luck is this?!? I see a pistoleer riding by on his bike! so I called out to him


"Yo! Pistoleer! come here and do your duty! take that nest out!"


Well that lame-o pistoleer just drove by! The NERVE!


I managed to empty out them harvester and headed to starport to hop on a shuttle to head to the Theed, and I saw a chef waiting on line. So I said


"Hey chef! Do your duty and cook me a Bespin port!"


But that chef goes on and on about how he don't have the right ingredient at the moment and blah blah blah. Well he is chef! he supposed to have all his stuff together right? I mean you expect every doctor to carry around every wound pack and every heal pack and every buff pack and every innoc pack and so on true?


And things got worse and worse! I was at cantina expecting to get a mind buff. But them dancers and musicians completely ignored me! They should do their duty and buff my mind!


I don't know what is going on here. The game is deteriating my the minute!


Most of these knuckle head don't think that when they are capable of doing something, it is their duty to do that whenever someone demand them of performing that skill! what kind of injustice is that! You can do something, I ask you to do that, then it is their DUTY to do just that regardless of their desire to do that or not! Right?


Ugg... I just about had it. But whatcha gonna do. life goes on.

LOL, you hit the nail right on the head. I was thinking why didn't that MDE give me my med droid when I needed it. LOL


I buff 1 or 2 hours a day at the SP to get my toon enough money to keep buying those buffs and med packs. I took my MD tag off last night for the first time because I couldn't "Play the Game" in peace with it on.
