Entertainer Archive

Last week it was brought to my attention that a profession badge was awarded to an AFK/buffbot character. This is obviously not as intended. The same day I heard about it, I contacted everyone who has the ability to give out a badge and reminded them our policies and guidelines.

While we don’t expect to have a repeat of such an incident, mistakes will happen from time to time. A player with AFK over their head should not be getting badges, nor should someone running a macro, though the latter can be harder to identify in the short time we might be in a cantina. What might be well known to regulars might not be as apparent to a visitor. Still, I have asked those handing out badges to be more vigilant in their actions.

In no way do we think that AFK/macroers and buffbots should be rewarded with badges and we apologize to the Entertainers and other players who saw this as a slight to their professions.
