You have to do the moves right in order to get exp that would cut out some of the afking sickness that is killing the game.

Why is being AFK "killing" the game???
I really do not understand some people. So, NOT talking to people is "killing" the game.
Healing you in the middle of the night, anytime you want, is "killing" the game.
Being able to walk into any cantina at any time and being able to find an Entertainer is "killing" the game.
I think that the L33T people and the Whiners are what is "killing" the game, not some person gaining XP by running a Macro.
It's the idiot 14-year-olds that run around with all of their pets out shouting "TRAINING ALL COMBAT SKILLS TRAINING MARKSMAN 4/4/4/4" over and over and over and over until they spam you to death that is "killing" the game.
It is the Ungrateful people who go to the Med Center and get healed by a Medic and DO NOT TIP that are "killing" the game.
I think that there are a lot better things to worry about other than a little AFK-ing by people.

"Why is being AFK "killing" the game???"

It's not killing the game. It's killing the entertainer professions, but certainly not the game.

"I think that there are a lot better things to worry about other than a little AFK-ing by people."

A 'little AFK-ing'? ROFL. Good lord man, open your eyes.

I proposed something like this way back in beta, and I've mentioned similar proposals to the devs more recently. FWIW, the devs have told me they're interested in adding more interaction to our gig missions. I'm just not sure they're convinced that a fishing-style popup would be that much fun over the long haul.


Me, I'm all in favor of something that encourages at-the-keyboard play -- as long as it's fun.

I agree completely.


Right now, standing in front of people playing an instrument is not very fun most of the time.


What nobody is saying is that almost all of the people come into the Cantina, sit down and go AFK themselves. Every once in a while there is someone who will chat, but most of them will not.


So, whatever they decide to come up with I am all for, as long as it's fun.


Clicking a lot is NOT FUN. That is what Macro's are for
