It seems like every morning there are a bunch of players running around coronet waiting for buffs but there is not a single doctor in site. Why is that? The devs need to put in NPC buffers to take care of this problem. just make them more expensive. I've been waiting for well over an hour and still no docs.

I've logged my doctor alt on for a few minutes some mornings, and received buff requests ... I was 1k outside Coronet, and just refilling factories! If a doctor has something, ANYTHING else to do and can be found, it may not get done in the morning...

Why is it that BH's never seem to hunting? I look around and yell "I need this Jedi killed" and no one seems to do the killing. The Jedi just stands there like he owns the place.
There really should be a BH npc. You walk up to it, pay it, then it goes and hunts the Jedi of your choice.
Now that my friend, would make the game much more interesting.

Because most real doctors that play the profession for things other then buffs could care less how long you wait around. Infact I goto CNet and just laugh at all the people tripping out while I buff myself and watch the lines form up. Then I walk around Cnet like a big parade as I have 50 people following me, while I shout "hell no we wont go!" while everyone behind me is like "COME ON BUFF US ALREADY!!111!!!!!!"
Now that is Player Content.

yeah last night i left my doc out with my away macro up to keep me logged in... i had like 700 tells for buffs before i left for work
i dont mean to be rude but generally the people that are on at 7 in the morning either work some dumpy shift or are people with absolutely nothing better to do.

Pircio you are a not too bright person who thinks he is smart. A lot of people either work nights or have other commitments that prevents them from restricting their play time to evenings.

Er, there shouldn't be anything added to the game that would eliminate professional codependency... I hope you were kidding
On Valcyn this morning, just one of the MD's I have in my friends list was on, and he was busy, so I found other things to do that didn't require being buffed like check/move my harvestors, clean up/sell loot I had in my house, have a conversation with someone ingame, etc...
My guild has an auto buffer, but he wasn't logged in either. No skin off my nose, because there are many more things to do in the game than simply powergrind (which I also do for fencer as I'm almost done with it). Do some shopping, get some location badges, help a newb, race at a swoop track, or simply see the world.

I can accept the NPC buffer idea as long as NPC buffs are not comparable to player crafted buffs. I don't see a harm in NPC buffers giving out 2hr 1500 buffs for 5 or 6k charge.
I would use this service too LOL...1500s are more than good enough to check my factories and shop/run around in

You see ... you really should know thatcoming to the Doc Forums and stating that you think that the Dev's should create NPC buffers isn't exactly the smartest thing to do.
We are indeed a nice bunch of people open to almost all sorts of discussions as long as they don'tinvolvenulling one of the most important abilities of our profession.
