Thread: afk macroed buffing perfomers is a PRETTY GREAT Solution

Aside from the targeting macro problem, the sort of afk buffing makes me very unhappy with the current passive buff system, since any entertainer with /join in a macro can buff multiple patrons without ever being there. It's bad enough that healing happens passively (unless you're quick enough to denyserv), but buffs too?



  1. Active buffs should have popup boxes saying buff x? and you have to confirm by clicking yes.


    • Also, you would not get the popup box unless X was watching you specifically, but rather an error message saying "x must be watching/listening toyou in order to buff him."

    • Furthermore, you woudl not be able to commence buff on another person accidentally before your buff on x was done: rather you would get a popup box saying "you must stop buffing x in order to buff y - stop buffing x?(yes) (no)"

  2. Active buffs would then have a popup box notifying you when the buff was done. The patron would also have a popup box, and when he clicked yes, the buff would activate (instead of the current /stopwatch or /stoplisten system which is difficult for patrons to understand and results in redoing of buffs)

  3. For multiple buffs in a group, a dancer would perhaps execute a "/buffgroup" command and then a popup box would appear confirming "buff the group?"

  4. Each group member would get a popup box at the end of the buffing session - clicking OK would activate the buff.
