1) Explain how they screwed us again? There are tons of ways to earn Medical XP, excluding healing uber HP Pets.

2) Because we may get paid for it now? It is a service we provide, that gains us nothing, and as such, we should/will be paid for it now, and most pet users will realize this while they sit around on their arses waiting for their uber_pet_01 to naturally heal (the "you get medical XP argument went out the door with this change!). Of course, charging is totally up to you. More altruistic players would heal them anyways, regardless of no XP or no payment.

1) Yes now you all can hide out in med centers grinding xp again... good for you. You know as well as I do that every group worth a darn has at least 1 pet tanking, its a fact born of necessity due to PC's low HAM. How willing do you think your fellow medics will be to join groups knowing that the primary party membersneedingheals will be the ones not giving xp... not many I think. Even worse medics may now start refusing to heal the pet (ie. main tank)unless the CH pays him for it, which is obviously very dangerous for the group. which brings me to...

2) I'm sorry but being a CH doesn't equal money in the bank. You had better be offering me substancial discounts over BE stim's or you can forget it.

so my two cents...

I'm a CH first Master Medic second. I just go kill stuff and train in whatever skill I get enough points in to do so. Yes I got to master medic primarily because of my pets, and I am amazed and dissapointed at the same time that I can be a master mediclong before I can master CH. If anything they need to lower the ammount of medic xp you gain across the board.

I agree with bigritchie, though I think thisis yet another CH nerf morethen anything.

Actually its not, it's a desperate attempt to validate an all butworthless class (Bio Engy's) Face it guysno one is going to pay you because you threaten to not heal their pet otherwise, they will buy pet stims.

Itip my medics when my wounds are getting healed, but I'll be damned if I can't take care of my own pet. Medics are needed in groups and should get their fair share of credits and exp for thier services, which is to heal the main tank, which atm are CH pets. Don't get me wrong, I'm not encouraging CH pets as tanks, nor do I believe it should be that way, but the fact is, until they give PC's more HAM CH pets will be the main tank.

Medics should not be forced to grind away in med centers. "ButEntertainers do it" you say, entertainers canmacro so they can chat while doing it, entertainer is a social class, medics should be out in the field helping in groups, getting xp and money that way.

Anyway thats why I support this thread.

PS Why the hell did they concive this as a problem in the first place? becasue medics were buying pets and healing them... big deal!

This just reinforces why I hit that cancel button.

I have never seen a game go down the toilet so fast and so hard.

NERF NERF NERF.

What the hell was the motivation for this anyway? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, other than as a nerf to make the game more of an XP grind...

**edit**, dont you people have Friends? I have done this for others and have had people do it for me, go out, get in a fight with an OJ mob and just slug it out, get the crap beat out of you and have your medic friend in need of exps heal you, they do it for free, to get the points, or if your the medic, maybe go with whites and let them exp faster with you keeping them pumped up with action so they can spam their best killing attack and get better exps, that way you Both win.. So, you cant heal a pet and get Exps, it shouldnt have ever give us points anyway, we arent vets, we are medics and doctors. Yes, Im a master medic and exps are pointless to me, but, I also wouldnt cry even if I just took novice, cause Id get a friend to take damage for me to heal.. Sorry, but I just don't see the Nerf here, its a bug fix.

def a nonsign....

This is total BS. Yep I'm a novice CH and reguard less I should be reawrded for putting up with 20-30 mins of downtime. I started the medic profession to compliment my newly non regening pet. So now I get another pat on theb ack by not getting rewarded for healing said pet.

I looked over my skills which were master marksmen and full tree of scout minus the APXP for master, artisan, novice ch taming training 2, pistoleer and medic. Now after looking over my skills about 2 nights ago I realized maybe I should dump the marksmen skills and scout skill I wasnt using and go for medic to heal my pet....now thats done with..after I dumped all those skills. I would not have done this if I had know a nerf was in bound.

I do not group..I do not have time to do so. I play about 8-10 hours a week and getting a group together consumes too much time. Since there is no real reward for grouping (group exp bonus) it is tricky sometimes to get a group together fast.

The way I see it the devs are turning this into a group only game. I do not require a group to be social..I have a guild chat channel for that purpose alone. So....with that said anyone interested in a account email me [email protected]Yup thats right no need to say "Can I have your stuff"..because you can !

Not like this will amke a difference. I mean hell this is just another round about way to nerf CH's. Now if they have no money for healing their pets they can't play. So just another way to screw not 1 but 2 classes with there divine **edit** rod up our ass

When my guild does Kimos, I don't get craploads of XP healing players. I heal the pets, because it's the pets doing all the tanking. I *revive* a player now and then but heal? Not much. I don't even heal their action usage if I buffed them. There's nothing to heal with 1000+ quickness and stamina.

So yay, now I get to go do Kimo fights and get no XP whatsoever! Hooray! Maybe I can charge my guild money!

You people doing the "/unsign" simply are not thinking this through. This is a horrible nerf for medics and doctors that primarily get their XP by healing the main tanks.

And the main tanks in this game are pets.

Then, it's time to get your group of team mates to stop using pets and take on something more your true level of skill, and not something so totally above your level that you need the pets.

If your team mates don't want to help you out until you no longer require Medical Experience, then you may want to consider finding another group to hunt with, ones that aren't selfish.

In the begininning, there were no pets, and players skilled up quite nicely, and you can STILL skill up if you choose to think outside the box.

If you are in a good guild then they are helping supply you with meds. Why wouldn't you heal their pets for free?

Do you people enjoy being vets? I certainly don't. I want to heal actual people, not some collection of 1's and 0's on a server somewhere.

Grr.. my land speeder for an edit button....

Thinking outside the box:

Have your team mates take an uncloned death or two at the end of the evening. Pull out your Surgical Droid, and heal them outside of town, all by your lonesome. Call it a night then. Decent XP, and everyone wins. Then again, maybe your "freinds" aren't really your friends if they aren't willing to help you out. <shrugs>
