Thread: My name is Areej Gahbunga, and I am a live Entertainer

After having left the game for about a month or so, I have decided to return and take Areej in a new direction.


After going through and getting Master Entertainer, I plan to become a Master Musician. This is something I once attempted on my old character, Earthbounder, awhile back, but I got fed up with all the macro-AFK bots everywhere.


I'm here to say, if you're ever in Theed on Shadowfire server, you should look for Areej Gahbunga if you want live entertainment.

If I ever go AFK, I do not continue to flourish with some pathetic macro. I announce when I go AFK, and most of the time I will even stop playing if I will be gone for awhile.


I picked this profession because I enjoy the fellowship that the Entertainment professions are supposed to be in the first place.


Who will join with me and help put an end to cantinas filled with nothing but mindless zombies spouting such pearls of wisdom as: "Tips are appreciated!" and "It would be nice if you would heal us entertainers!" as people simply sit and get their mind wounds healed, and minds buffed by buffbots?


I know we will probably never be able to eliminate the bots completely, but if you're in the entertainment profession, I encourage you to use it as it was intended.

Entertaining is supposed to be a social profession.


Do not tip anyone Entertainers with the AFK tag. Try and actually talk with your entertainers!


Back when I was still Earthbounder, I remember hearing many non-Entertainment people complaining how it is such a chore to sit in the cantinas and get their BF taken care of while doing nothing.

If you have live entertainment, the time will pass much more quickly.


With the true Entertainer's help, we can start to put things right, and make our professions more fun for everyone!

The end of the hologrind will put a stop to a lot of the AFK-Macro bots across all galaxies.

It will not end the problem once and for all, but it should help.


I do encourage everyone to NOT tip these bots, however.

These people do not earn one credit by making a macro do all the work for them.

Instead, tip the Entertainers who are actually there trying to make things more fun by actually communicating with you.


Thank you.

How true it is!

I always have fun making fun of the bots while I play:

"Tips are appreciated!"
"Oh yea? Well I'd appreciate it if you'd shut up, but it ain't gonna happen!"


Good times...

You're not alone Areej There are a lot of us live entertainers out there, for those patrons who care to sift through all the spam to chat with us. The way of the buffbot is easy and seductive (and cheap...sorta like the dark side ) and it will take effort on all of our parts to lure our audiences away from them. I think you are correct when you say that they will never entirely disappear, but if their profits are hurt by the number of live entertainers at least their numbers might lessen. Keep a good attitude and a positive outlook on it like you have been, after all what is light without shadow?


Those buffbots make us look gooood

Being LIVE and witty is a great combination! Glad to see another live one to the rank... as for my opinion of LIVE entertainers... I can some it up by quoting a non-entertainer at Coronet Starport, during Cantina Crawl VII,


"Buffbots can't do this!"


That made my day. Keep up the great work, Areej and drop by Bria for the next Cantina Crawl, all LIVE from every server, touring player cantinas anf having a great time...Previous Crawls and Info

Just wanted to add that the other night, I had the BEST night in the game EVER, and all I did was dance/play music in the cantina all night.

Almost everyone Entertaining were LIVE people.

I had just gotten a bunch of BE clothing to help with Entertainer Wound Healing, and everyone was having fun poking at my strange outfit(Picture a Zabrak with black hotpants with a red outline, a dark blue vest, and a chef hat!).


The cantina was almost packed all night.

I even got to witness my first Jedi fighting off some Rebel scum!



I only hope to have even half the fun next time I get in the cantina and play.

I just have to say that I am having a lot of fun when Dancing so far. I see a lot of folks being afk and right in the middle of the floor where live entertainers are trying to their thing...entertain the masses. I definitely won't be one of those just dancing mindlessly while watching tv. I enjoy the interaction so far I have had while chatting with others and just doing some role play while dancing. It is neat to see that folks out there think the same thing.
