What do you guys think about the idea (which has come up in the past) of ID's buffing battle fatigue? Good thing? Competition with dancers/musicians?

Why are you all afraid to point out the obvious? We are entertainers not our own class of specialness. Sheesh and they called me an "elitist..."

Hmm... Actually I think this is simply not our business. Sure, our profession is based on the general entertainer, but we are those part of them that does the makeup and things like that. We are simply not those that entertain.
BUT: when I go to get a new haircut with wasing the hair and all that from a professional hairstylist this IS actually pretty relaxing. So I see a point in thinking this through.
On the other way we have to think about to what this will lead. Lets say we can slowly heal bf while we work on someones Avatar. And lets assume that this would even work outside our prison... er salons. This would mean there would be a way to heal BF in the field which might come in handy sometimes, but isn't really that needed... A high BF is rarely a reason to panic. Well however... it might lead to the situation that those combat folks come to us to just open the interface to lower their bf... that would lead to doing nothing over periods of time again. I think we allready do nothing long enough in our carreer. Especially when we could simply start to dance in a nearby cantina to have the same effect while being able to atleast have a good time while dancing or playing some fancy Star wars 1 tune with the slitherhorn. (We are still atleast novice entertainers, aren't we?)
So all in all I don't see a reason to 'buff' BF in any way since we allready can do that.
May the Force be with you all!

I know I've written a lot of stuff that was inappropriate, but that wasn't.

When I made Master Musician, I whipped out the naglaron or whatever it's called to fiddle with it, being unaware of how desperate people were for buffs. It was a very long time before I crawled out of that cantina. If ID's thought people rushing to them for stat migration was bad, imagine a row of people needing your attention for 5-10 minutes for a buff of some kind in addition.
Also I worry that that sort of thing would step on Dancer/Musician toes. I don't know what the plans are for them in the Combat Balance and how it'll be once the recursive macros are gone, but as things are now Dancers and Musicians are hurting and need time to recover. When I was entertaining in a cantina, I loved seeing a TKM come in because even though he would've meditated away all his wounds, he'd probably have 400 BF. If we prevented people from getting Battle Fatigue, that's one less way for Dancers and Musicians to get XP. If they only had one healing tree to deal with that's almost one thing, but they have two, and that's a lot of healing.
True. I say we leave BF to the dancers and musicians. Among my 14 characters on 7 servers I have 1 Master Musician and 5 Master Dancers (including one who is also 4/3/4/4 Musician) and I know how hard it is to get that entertainment healing xp (most of my Dancers maxed their Dance xp long before they got the last of the eh xp they needed). I would feel that it is xp theft for IDs to have anything to do with BF. The up and coming Musicians and Dancers need all of the eh xp that they can get... let's not steal any from them.
