If Yes, what is the timetable to remove the professions and place dev controlled buffbots?

If No, will the team please confirm the CSR team have been given revised instructions on the distribution of badges?

Alternative:

If No, will the team discuss with the three correspondants the possible methods of eliminating the afk buffbot or confirm they will raise a thread similar to GreenMarine's for Smugglers to obtain suggestions from the professions.

While I was initially very upset about the badge being awarded I think Beery is right. If we focus onthe acts ofone or moreCSR'swe will get a palm-off. We need to focus on the key issue and try to get on the path to fixing it. As a start the correspondants could post a copy of Warryyr's idea post in the correspondant forum to provoke some discussion.

Guys and gals, we are all upset andangry to varying degrees, getting angry will get us nowhere, trust me.

I'm also a DE, ever seen any high-level combat droids under player control?

Neither have we after we (yes our fault as much as the devs) got angry because we had misunderstood each other and they indefinately postponed high level droids.

The key point is to get the communication running on the right topic with the same goal in mind, then it will become a technical challenge and in time they are much easier to complete than a political debate.

Given Pex's post on 7 July, which the Entertainer community has interpreted as an official statement that AFK Macro playing is not to be promoted,

Alternative:

If No, will the team discuss with the three correspondants the possible methods of eliminating the afk buffbot and / or limiting in some measure AFK play or confirm they will raise a thread similar to GreenMarine's for Smugglers to obtain suggestions from the professions.

Also will TH please pass on the combined thanks of the Entertainer, Dancer and Musicianprofessions for Pex's response.

Question amended in light of Pex's excellent post. I still think it is worthwhile to confirm if the dev's see the limiting or removal of the AFK profession as a goal and to get us started on the route.

Any comments? Now we have dev attention let's hold off on a Theed, Naboo or Coronet, Corellia (if we get a palm off we can reconsider in a fortnight for the next round).
