Absolutely false as false can get.
Actually one of my fellow guildies told me this rumor, as the leader of the guild, I though I should verify whether there was truth in this matters.
As always thanks for clearing this up Zarlor.
Does your Guild leader have access to the Devs, though? 
As for the entertainer thing, I know that self buffin is on thier issues list to get. So you may want to check that out when they get theri responses. I think we'll get responses in this coming week.
What are they going to do, make it impossible to tip someone you have buffed? That rumor is false.
you and 90% of all Doctor would drop Doctor if the Dev didn't allow us to self buff

Some of this may come from complaints from the dancer/musician forums that they can't self buff... many comparisons have been made along the lines of... "but Doctors can self-buff, why can't we?" Using DevLogic... doesnt this sound like a perfect reason to remove any ability for anyone (even chefs and smugglers) to buff themselves?
Instead of adding the ability for dancers or musicians to self buff, it seems likely the 'fix' would be to remove anyone's ability to self buff. If you havent seen this kind of logic applied to SWG in the past, you havent been around long, nor played much. And no... I have seen no entertainers ask for a Doctor nerf, but then... What wasthe Dev'sproposed answer to riflemen and using specials from the unhealable mind pool? Make all HAM usage from ANY weapon specials be unhealable. This was on TC for a while. It was pulled, but will probably be coming back with the rst of the 'combat balance re-write'. You saw it here first. I bet its coming.

Dancers and entertainers dont have to spend hundreds of thousands of credits and LOTS of hours making buffpacks that are, in the end, all luck, or grind through a crafting tree.
I think the entertainment buffs are WAY too easy for thier power, they need to actualy make them harder for them to use before entertainers even touch Doctor issues
