Thread: Tumbling not an exploit?

Anyone else feel this is BS? One person AFK macro tumbling for hours on end while another is AFK healing the action damage resulting from it? I asked a CSR about it in chat and they laughed at me.

How cares?.. honestly.. at least it takes two players to pull this off. Don't lose any sleep over it, once they grind through to Master doc and get the coveted Jedi/FS slot that they holy holocron helped them get they will get killed several times by BH's and leave the game.

I didn't care about this either until this weekend. Today I've seen people spamming "Pay me to tumble!" in 3 different med centers. It was pretty funny when a few good roleplayers told 1 guy "Uh, thats illegal in this town"


I also had a hard time explaining to a guy that as a master I didn't need the XP, he just kept following and begging to be paid to tumble. I wouldn't report someone for this but it's annoying. Then the very next town I go to had amedic spam yelling "I'll pay you to tumble for me" over and over.

Hehe I haven't seenpeople asking money for it yet. Of course I've used it as well, but I levelled my first doctor in the med center and it took forever, people don't get many wounds with cloning, so I don't think it's a bad thing really.

tumble healing is the only decent way a medic can get good exp. Unless you have a hunting grp 24/7, and that exp is worse than tumble healing. And you're sure as hell not gonna get good exp healing wounds in a med center.



I used my friends char to afk level myself all the way to master doctor, if anybody has anything bad to say about, I could care less.



It's my 16 dollars a month, I'll do what I please. Ihaven't ever heard of a CSR taking action to stop it, therefore I dont consider it an exploit.

I didnt mind the "Pay me to tumble" people until tonight - when one of them got into the crowd of dancers I was AoE healing (Im a CM also, the entertainers love me) and told me "quit ****ing healing people, if you want experience you have to pay me. you are no longer allowed to heal the dancers" (translated from leet speak) while spamming for his services every 2 seconds using /shout and being a general all around *******. Of course I continued AoE healing, much to the entertainers delight.

I have no problems with people tumbling/healing to get experience, but with jerks like this guy running around SOE will wind up preventing the tumbling thing from working eventually. So... If anyone reading this is a "Pay me to tumble" person... please dont be a ****, and be discrete about it or you will wind up hurting yourself by forcing SOE to nerf your "profession". And besides, every time you spam people and be obnoxious, god kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens!

It's no more of an exploit then any thing you can afk XP at. Like surveying, dancing or those AFK combat types that hang out in moeina.

Hehe - its one of those things that bothers me from time to time. When it really bothers me, its usually when I see two AFK people, one macro tumbling, one macro healing. 4 times out 5 it doesnt bother me.


The 5th time... well... its amazing what MD Buffs to Str/Con/Quick/and Stam can do for specials.


/whistles innocently.


Plus, it also increases my StimB sales


/evil


On a side note, best Medical XP I get is from Buffing. Shame I don't need medical xp anymore /growl.
