The meds do a better job healing than any doc could, anyone can rez with the cyborg arm, and our buffs are useless...
I think we need to get NPC wound healers in the medical centers who can heal faster than master docs at no charge to the player.

I think that would do more damage to the doctor profession? If the restore gaining XP in the medical centers for would healing, I think you'll see the Med centers become useful again.

Yes, please read the post linked in my sig (and add your voice so the devs take notice).
This idea would ruin the doctor profession even more than it already has been. Since buffs aren't much at all of anything anymore, healing wounds is the only thing specific and uniqueto our profession. It just needs fixed for us to heal wounds again. They might as well take doctor outof the gameif this would be implemented.

I sensed a huge influx of sarcasm in the universe when reading the original post.

Heh, yeah, reading it again it does. 
It's hard to know sometimes, though, since there are a lot of anti-CU posts that make no sense lately.
Still, I point to my thread in the General Game Discussion forum. Let's get this changed!

I figure the devs never listen to our good ideas... maybe they're looking for ways to ruin the game even more.

Well, the thread I started in the GGD forum has the most posts of any threads that aren't just
Person 1: "The CU suXXors!"
Person 2: "No, the CU is awesome!"
Person 1: "No it isn't. You must be stupid!"
Person 2: "No, you're stupid!"
and so on...
So hopefully the devs will notice this and it will get them in gear.

Yes what an awsome Idea.
And add NPC buffers that can buff better than all docs, then we can all /respec to CM and eliminate doc
CARPE CORPUS!!

Seems some of my fellow players from Gorath came up with my idea all by themselves....

This is so sad to see in a MMOG. What's the point of playing one if you'd rather just deal with NPCs?
Hope you don't mind that I made a blatant self-promotionin that post of my thread, too.

I have to admit I would love to see this at this time. I'm no doctor, but I do get wounds. I go to the med center and nothing. Just wounded people there. I know you don't get XP for healing wounds outside of combat anymore, that's a bum deal for all, but darn it Jim your a Doctor. Why did you take the profesioin to begin with? For the XP, the money, or to be a Doctor and heal poeple? It would be nice to see a RP Doctor. I would love to walk into the med center and be greeted by a nurse telling me to, "have a seat the doctor will be with me shortly." The Doctor comes up diagnosis my wounds, lets me know how long it will take and what it will cost to be healed. If you play for XP what's the point of playing?

How about we introduce NPC bounty hunters who attack marks of player bounty hunters if the BH doesnt show up in a certain amount of time, or if the mission never gets taken off a terminal? Of course, this would void any missions currently on the jedi, take him off the terms for 5 days and count as a PvE death.
If you want to render docs useless, that would be my suggestion for your profession.
Why did you take up BH? My guess would be for xp and money?

Exactly! It isn't our fault that the devs did this to us. Some of us are trying to change it, after all. Help us get this changed and it doesn't just benefit us by letting docs get xp outside of combat, but it also benefits the entire playerbase by encouraging doctors to spend time in the medical centers.
If they introduce NPC doctors like this, then they might as well just make everything else NPC and turn SWG into an offline single player RPG.
Ummm... You do know that you need to earn xp in order to advance, too? How is a newer player supposed to advance if you want them sitting in a medical center all day healing your wounds when the only way for them to advance is to earn xp in combat now? Really, who's the one being selfish?
