My only hangup is waiting for this last batch of rez kits - and the materials needed for a batch of 332 kits was next to nothing compared to one crafting branch.PS - I wouldn't bother buffing - just rez. There is less of a delay and as your alt/friend quickly gets 1000BF, you are just wasting buff packs.
That's BS. Some Doctors who try to cap on FS xp do it at Starports, the old fashion way, buffing people with missions on Dant or whatever, not guys who are so desperate they buff for FREE or "whatever you thimk is fair" at the village.
Not everyone goes to the village with their pets out, just like some people don't grind Combat using C-12s. The cap for Medical xp NEEDs to be raised, for a Master Doc cap, we get 8k HS xp, 8K! While you're average Joe-c12 can capp comabt at 100k for FS comat or Ehanced Reflexes! That's not right.

Ok, the 5 hours came froma post where I sawthe macro - actually having used it, it is longer - but not that much longer. And nowhere NEAR as bad as the faulty info in the link you provided (I won't even go into how ludicrous his architech example is - not considering the 26 MILLION RESOURCES it takes).
I can cap medical in 4 minutes 10 seconds. Then (because my alt is non-fs and has to stay outside the village) - it takes me a little under 4 minutes to make the round trip to the village where I turn it in for 8K fs-senses. So 8K for 8 minutes, 1225K (one branch) in 1225 minutes = 20 hours 25 minutes for THE WHOLE THING. Of course, if you can find a friend/alt who can get into the village (optimal situation), you can reduce this to a 5 minute set for 766 total minutes which is a little shy of 13 hours.
Combat is 2 hours for 60K fs-combat or fs-reflexes. To get 1225K is around 20 1/2 hours. Basically, about the same as what I'm getting, but not as good as the "optimal"...
EXCEPT: to get my branch, I used two runs of rez kits at about 12K water, 27K organic and 15K non-organic = 54K. Took about 3 days for 2 factorys to pump them out.
Wonder how many set of composite and VK's were eaten up via the combat route, not to mention travel fees... True, they can make up for it by selling some cool CDEF pistols and stone knifes.
In the end, I still say, fs-senses xp is the fastest and easiest, especially for doctors (and CM's). And I didn't even have to grind all of it via this route as I got some of the fs-senses xp via my vendors while I DID NOTHING. You want to start a petition? Look at the crafters... heck, they don't even get decent quest rewards, the few of them that do get any.
And for those that want to play the game naturally and not fs-grind - fine... but that's not what this discussion is really about. Cause then you aren't looking at similar situations

5 hrs per branch! I just finished persuasion and there's no way. Doing the pet trick you can cap out in about 13 minutes. That's 8k fs senses every 13 minutes(if you are in the village doing this). You need 1225000 fs senses xp to fill one branch. That's about 35 hrs to fill one branch. I can cap out in rifle xp in less than an hour at the geo cave. That gives you 30k fs combat for rifle xp and 30k fs combat for combat xp. Yadda, yadda. You get the picture(I hope).

Go Go Go.
Need lots of doctors to sign here.
Because the problem is not the rates.
As you said you can reach 60k total Combat FSxp and ~40k Sense FSxp in one hour. Not same but almost same.
But the problem is doctors must camp in village and must find a friend or alt for total 35hours for one branch. It is really boring. and not the game, kind a trick, hack, what ever you say ....

Had no problems grinding the 2 combat trees as a TKM. However, the grind for senses as a doc is unreal. I will NOT take another player and res them to death. I'm not criticizing those who do. It's just that the game isn't supposed to be about exploits and work arounds. Those are fine for some, but most of us want a better method and we'd have it if the experience cap were raised.

But not for doctors only. Same apply to other professions, merchant only 80k, General crafting 50k etc . Raise caps on all professions.
BTW, many doctors are stupid. I have been to village several times and not a single doctor buffing there. One time I had to go around spamming "Paying 30k for a buff" until I got a buff from a non-master. Buff in village and no travel to convert XP.
