Who says I'm throwing resources away by healing for "free"? I make a profit doing it. I make xp for doing it. I make friends doing it. I have fun doing it. I'd hardly call that throwing something away. Besides, I can't go through my resources fast enough. Everything I use are900+ in OQ. That means I get some dang nice meds out of them that go a very long way. As I said before, I make a good virtual living healing for "free" with my medical droid. Why should I mess that up by "charging" for it? It seems that people are more than willing to pay for healing if you save them some inconvenience. Not once have I ever asked for payment, but I'm always ahead in credits at the end of the day. That's a good thing .... right?

Someone's ben using the res pack on the dead murra again...

Elenora, not everyone is ina PA where help is most likely provided... And architech is definitly not a good money maker

What Kami said.

I found the solution to my problem. I no longer heal wounds in the med center. I am now going out in hunting groups getting good xp, resources, and tips from the people in the groups. I am really starting to like the combat medic style. Forgive me for ranting about this the other day but I sat in a med center as the only medic, healed 30+ people, and did not recieve a single tip. From now on you will not see me in the med center!

Sorry for ranting here

Ack noooo come back to the med center...

Now that newbie death is gone...its gonna be full of messed up HAM bars...

I don't charge, and I never will charge.

Same with training other people. If they tip me, fine. If then don't, that's fine too.

I'm perma broke and put a ton of time into making my medpacks and stims, but I'll still never charge someone for it. If you're in it for the money, you're going to be disappointed. If you're in it for the money, you're in the wrong profession. I can't think of a game where healers don't get the shaft in terms of money.

But there is one thing you do get from your fellow players that is better than money. You get thier respect, they remember you. I can't count the times in EQ when a cleric needed help and an army of people they've helped before came to the rescue. I also can't count the times I've seen clerics who charge for thier services in trouble who have had a LOT harder time getting the help they needed.

If you're a healer who wants to make it a business ...people will remember and they will avoid you when they need help. And they will have something else to do when YOU need help. I know I avoided the business healers.

all i got to say is read my post

It's definitly silly to request that medics don't charge for healing. That's going to throw the whole game off. How much of a tip to you expect? Most of these people doing destroy missions and selling their wares in the bazaar don't have TONS of cash (i'm speculating here). I heal for free all the time. When I get a tip for 100-250, that's nice... but if I had to survive off that, there's no way I'd ever save up any credits.

Personally, I loathe surveying. I can see the benefit of gathering your own materials, however I'd rather just buy 1000 units of X in the bazaar... then heal people for free with the stims I make from those. I look at it as I'm buying medical experience.

The economy in SWG is still not very stable. Demanding tips as your only form of income is going to delay stabalization in the economy.

KTHXBYE
