I'm glad that you're doing a bang up business with the ad service. However repeatedly spamming that type of stuff no matter how creatively done is only going to irritate the other performers in the cantina with you. while the average person wandering in the cantina might not notice what you're doing because of a 40 min loop or whatever. Repetitive spamming in a cantina I find to be bad form and no better than any of the other talking looped macros. I'll refer people to vendors that I know if someone comes in looking for something and these vendors have always been good to take care of me for the word of mouth recommendations.

Now I'll admit that it is totally possible that you do this in such a way that it completely inoffensive to anyone I'm not on the same server as you. However, I doubt the restraint of other players setting this sort of thing up for themselves. The sheer number of people who put /say in their looping macro and spam the room every 30 sec makes me fear widespread implementation of this sort of idea. Just because you are showing restraint doesn't mean that anyone else will nor does it mean that there eventually wont be several people doing the same thing in the same cantina. With multiple people doing this at the same time even if they all are showing restraint it could get irritating very quickly.

Thanks for your post, Reisa. I've actually taken to doing destroy missions, even though I have only 3 boxes in newbie carbine, just for the change of pace and excitement. Out of Anchorhead, you can make a lot of money fast that way. Yes, I do deliveries as well, but not as often.


But I also can make a good chunk of change from tips -- if I find a small cantina at which I can solo or share the spotlight with one other performer. Lately I've had great support from my fellow rebels at the cantina in Anchorhead. And now I'm eager to visit Lok or some such. What's a good time to visit such a place -- I mean, a good time to find people who might tip? Prime time, east coast, I assume?
