Not only that, but 9:10 times a person will never get in touch with a person AFK, because he is probably sleeping. I've stated a strike a few times, and from what I can tell a lot of people would be pretty pissed off and sad. So there are a lot of people that appreciate us.....just unfortunantly not enough to make us feel better.
The case of the tumbling macro people that you won't be able to get in touch with... that can be fixed. Just buff their secondaries! That will effectively fix the problem! lol
I love having my own little strike every now and then. When I do buff sessions I head to Dantooine to do it. I charge the same amount to everyone and use the same power packs on everyone. The first person that complains about bad buffs or overpriced buffs, I put my droid away and say I'm done for the day. I'll tell anyone in line that I'm sorry, but according to <insert name here> I'm a bad doctor, so I shouldn't buff anyone else.

I can't tell you how many times, from beta 3 on, the medical professionals have threatened to go on strike over the entire issue of compensation for healing.
While it's a great idea, the problem is that only a fraction of the medics/docs/combat medics read the boards, and even then getting a consensus formed among that group as to how to proceed is always easy to break in game by a handful of participants.
The catch with the AFK tumbleheal crowd is that a few of them might have a wound pack or two on them and break it, but others are right...it's highly likely they have anythingmore powerful thanstim Cs at most on them.
Never mind that there's more XP to be had by healing wounds than healing damage. We all remember how when starting out at novice the only way to get med XP was healing damage, unless we somehow got our hands on some woundpacks before we got Org Chem I. So habits formed as a novice are simply not broken by the hologrinding crowd, because they're not really interested in learning the profession...they're interested in getting it out of the way so they can move on to the next hologrind.
