The days of the holo-tainers are ending, it is now the time of the domain of the entertainers! (the few of us left)

Holocrons are gonna get replaced with quests, that means there will be virtually no more holo-tainers.

For all the pro-afkers saying "Oh, you guys don't do your job, if it weren't for the afk dancer at 3AM dancing, a poor combateer wouldn't have gotten healed!"

First, we are not here solely to be your npc healer. Second, when there are no holo-tainers, it'll be like before holocrons, except worse for combateers! Most original entertainers quit game after this craze, and all you got are survivors, converted holo-to-real entertainers, and your 2nd acct! You've all screwed yourselves over! The time of empty cantinas will be back! You'll all be looking for entertainers to heal as if you needed a buff (which takes hours to find!), or you'll be spending an extra $50+$15 a month.


You've all dug your own hole! Congratulations!!

Just who was this post directed at, the AFKer's or the Non-AFKer's?

well, only you would know


the fall of the holotainer != the end of the macrotainer... just a fair reduction of them.

Amen, Bandkanon!


All the real entertainers have abandoned the profession because of the AFKers, so now the combat monkeys want NPC heal bots 'cause there are no entertainers.


Is there any hope for the entertainers here? The combat-monkeys never liked us from the beginning anyhow, for fear of actual....socializing! *shudder*

Rumor is that grammar is good too. *wink*


AFK is wonderful if you hate that pesky interaction with others to get your needs. I cannot wait until they replace entertainers with NPCs. And then I can push to get rid of all those annoying doctors. I mean, they want money and organics? Leeches! Oh, and those smugglers have to go. And armorsmiths. Ooh! And creature handlers. Why should I wait for him to tame my new pet that I got from a bio-engineer (which better be an NPC too!)? And chefs? Why, they're just as pathetic as weaponsmiths. Oh, I cannot wait to get out from their thumbs. Let's encourage them to be AFK, because heavens forbid if we actually have to work to get what we want out of life (or the game).


I predict that a lot of entertainers will be disappointed when the holotainers leave. I doubt we can ever return to the good ole days. The entertainers who made the good ole days so good have found other games to play. Well, there are still a few of us, but we became so used to being invisible in a sea of zombies that we just stick with our own crowds.


There will be less AFKers, but that's only because a lot of people no longer see the need to master a profession that they hate. Those who AFKed before the holocron craze will continue to AFK. Such is life.

Love Star Wars, but the few role-players I could find on the servers were outnumbered by powergamers who wanted only l337 l00t and mad skillz. I can't justify paying $15 a month to play a game by myself.
Still cares enough to interject an opinion, though.

Huh? Are you inside somebody's thumb? Or maybe you meant "under their thumbs" but have a problem with grammar yourself. *wink*

What, you've never been in someone's thumb? Very uncomfortable.


Of course, there is a difference between a typo and a violation of grammar.


I often leave out words when I type platitudes. I hate cliches; they're old hat. *wink*


But I did almost type "of" instead of "have" one time. It was most scandalous.

And?

Holocrons are gonna get replaced with quests, that means there will be virtually no more holo-tainers.

But there will be normal AFKers.

For all the pro-afkers saying "Oh, you guys don't do your job, if it weren't for the afk dancer at 3AM dancing, a poor combateer wouldn't have gotten healed!"

First, we are not here solely to be your npc healer.

Actually, you are.

Second, when there are no holo-tainers, it'll be like before holocrons, except worse for combateers! Most original entertainers quit game after this craze, and all you got are survivors, converted holo-to-real entertainers, and your 2nd acct! You've all screwed yourselves over!

I don't see how. Anentertainer is an entertainer. Healing is healing. I don'tcare who does it.

The time of empty cantinas will be back! You'll all be looking for entertainers to heal as if you needed a buff (which takes hours to find!), or you'll be spending an extra $50+$15 a month.

No we won't. If you think that the Coronet, Bestine and Theedcantinasare going to become empty after the holocron business is over, you're fooling yourself.


You've all dug your own hole! Congratulations!!

Not a very deep hole....









This is why I love that I am separated from people like you by being on a different server.


The moment you typed your first word, "And?" just told me that you made a troll post. Lovely. Why is it a troll post? Because you wasted your time typing the word, "And?" A statement that heeds no information to me, and I doubt it gives any information for anyone else, except you of course. But really, next time, think harder.


If you really think you'll get the convenience of finding entertainers after the holocraze ends, you're just fooling yourself, but atleast I'll giveyou a reason why, something you failed to post. You registered one day after me, so you should know how the cantinas were before the holocraze. They were barren, yes, excluding Coronet and Theed, the rest were barren. And Coronet only had 7 entertainers at night.


Oh and yes, you have dug your own hole, a very deep one at it, too. As I've stated, it'll be worse than before the holocraze, the regulars have quit, the holo-tainers have left, and all there will be is the newb entertainer asking another newb entertainer how to gain xp.


Once again, Good luck getting yourself out of your hole.

Look, what I want to say is that I think you are seriously overblowing this situation. The worst possible thing that could happen is that the Coronet cantina will not be look like a rave/mosh pit anymore, the wookies/guys who look like they're meant to be bad ass killers won't be prancing about anymore, and life will go on. Nobody is going to walk into a cantina, see a little less people and go, "**edit**, I wish I had tipped the heck out of those entertainers while they were here!!" They'll most likely just watch the nearest entertainer, get their fatigue healed and be on their way.

The people who have left will either come back, or they will be replaced by people just as passionate about the profession. That includes the people who AFK, too. Not because they are going after a holocron and ultimate power, but because they'd like to gain xp and maybe help a few people while they're not at the keyboard. If that manages to twist the panties of those 'dedicated players' so much that they would quit the profession/game, then maybe they just weren't that dedicated in the first place. Maybe they were just couldn't handle the idea that they couldn't force tips out of people and force them to get 'social.'

Sorry the rest of the game playing populace doesn't live up to the entertainers' expectations.
