Actually Zeritus, yes, they do hurt me. I am working toward Master Musician. There have been several instances where I couldn't get a spot in the group because of all the afk'ers. There was also one time where, as a Novice Musician, I couldn't play the song, it was beyond my ability. We stopped the group and restared but some AFK'er had a macro running which would stop the group and start his highest song every couple minutes. We never did figure out which one. I ended up leaving the group.

good idea, I'd suggest an alternative to faction points tho, some performers wish to remain neutral. money (i.e. tips) don't seem to be doing the trick. Perhaps skill enhancing tapes for healing?

Great idea! I have recently started pursuing Musician just to try a different aspect of the game. I have gone into a couple cantinas where I knew there to be some traffic but not as annoyingly crowded as the cantina in Coronett, when I get there I had to compete for "customers" with an /afk player. I found this to be very annoying. If I am taking the time to stay at my computer and actually interact with other players I feel I should be getting more people watching me instead of someone who is not there and they end up with the audience because they have a "Master" title.


Even when I was not an Entertainer I found this to be annoying. I always tried to watch players who I thought were not /afk and if they were the only onesavailablethey recieved no tip.

too funny! the pictures help the story.

instead of faction points, what about some kind of tip? not monetary, but perhaps an item. although, i also really like the not getting dead one. i saw a post from someone on test center who destroyed a probot droid and was hunted down by the imperials almost instantly. i know i would appreciate just being left alone by those imperial stormtroopers...

Maybe have it so on your first offence your kick out on the street, second time your incapacitated and kick out on the street. Thethird time left just outside the city where you may get killed by animals, do it again you will far from any city or find yourself in a cloning place if a wild animal gets you before you get back to your computer.

Umm....Don't you get a system message everytime someone prepares to stop the band?...I know I do...I get "Erdeid prepares to stop your band."


Oh, and that's just a dumb AFK-macro mistake. Not a problem with being AFK.


Your band leader should have disbanded the group, then rejoined everyone one at a time.


But I like the idea of random NPC's coming in to tip people. I don't like the punishment aspect (SOE will never go for it anyway). Rewards are the name of the game in online games. Of course, I'd like Rebel marines to come through Rebel towns...

nope...gone again...

If you’re an overt rebel your in trouble anyway because will be going into cantina looking for contraband. Mhahaha


For covert Rebels the treat you just like any other neutral, because as far as they know you are neutral. The system could do a check and not give unwanted stuff, so guys don get dresses and rebel don''t get Imp FPs.


Hmmm? Arebel may want Imp mission so they could do a little spying or espionage.







you would have to be an idiot to be overt and preforming


anyways... stormies arent that hard
