The problem is, it isn't too hard to get musci xp, it's too easy to get all the other types of xp you mentioned. That'll all change with the combat rebalance coming up. It's supposed to take months to get to master (i'm talking Musician or Dancer). Just look at how long it takes now to get master ID. That's how long the Devs want us to spend playing the game, working towards a goal of achieving Master.

Don't look at having to get xp. Don't think about grinding, or fun as a byproduct of earning xp. Enjoy the profession, flirt with other performers and patrons. Chat it up. Have fun. If you do, you'll be suprised how fast the xp comes. In the words of my crazy granny, "A watched stormtrooper never takes a leak".

I agree though, if you're AFK, you should be essentially, linkdead. No xp, No healing, No tips, No spam, No looting. And there should be no way to turn off your AFK timeout. That would allow people to stay ingame who have to step away for a short period of time, let people keep recursive macros, and get rid of the unattended gameplay.

I mastered musician and entertainer recently all ATK. It isn't that bad and certainly far less of a grind than Tailor or ID. It took me about 5 weeks to master both and it was fun. What makes it fun is finding the others that are present in the cantina and talking with them. Also talking with the people who come in and out of the cantina.

Just sitting there watching your toon flourish isn't fun, I agree. Its the entertaining and socializing pieces that make it fun, without those I wouldn't even fool with the profession. I certainly make far more off my rifleman and small amount of scouting than I do entertaining so the profession isn't about credits either. If it isn't fun now it won't be fun later.

I think the most frustrating thing about Ent Leveling is that there isn't an active optionthat can beused to go faster. Whether it's taking you 3 days or 3 months, you should still be able to feel like some kind of effort on your part is accelerating the process. That's the opposite of grind, that's involvement. Because we are such a passive Prof, we need to be able to level passively as we do now. We just need some more "hands on" activities that increase XP payout significantly... so it feels like you are getting something done with your training when you are craving that kind of experience.

I don't have a problem with any of your 3 points. If they were all done together, it would be a huge improvement for everyone.

If you are having fun, then you win the game.
