Most of the healing XP comes from combat medics diseasing the mind of the participants. You can get that anywhere.



"Ironically, while researching this piece a representative from Sony asked us to keep in mind that many of the players complaining "weren't playing the class right," and that the class was designed as a solo experience. Such a comment is indicative of the original Ultima Online mistake: not realizing that once an MMO is released to the public, it no longer belongs to the developers, it belongs to the people paying $14.99 a month for the service."

We shouldn't have to injure ourselves to get xp. We should be able to entertain in a spot where people are likely to frequent who - horror of horrors - already have wounds from battle and whatnot. Hiring a combat medic to give healing xp is not a "fix" for the problem of wounded people frequenting the popular cantinas - cantinas which are inhabited by afk-ers - and therefore forcing the atk entertainer to choose between boring advancement in a sea of zombies and having fun with the game. Hiring a combat medic to come disease people in a mostly-empty cantina is not fun. It's grinding. It's boring. This is not the solution to the profession's problems.
