Apparently you haven't been reading our forum as much as you think you have. I don't think a single person here has complained about having a macro system in the game. In fact, most of us love the macro system because it allows us to create some truly great-sounding performances while being able to keep interacting with our audiences.The problem is when someone comes here and asks us about something we consider to be a game-breaking exploit of the macro system. The EULA, Devs, and in-game CSR's have all confirmed time and time again that unattended macroing is not intended and they consider it to be a major problem.


>> I was primarilyreferring to AFK macro related questions.


Chances are the "master" musicians and dancers you are speaking to are themselves, AFK...they probably are trying to work up extra healing xp as master of that profession before they drop it to pick up the other elite entertainment profession. Actually, all Musicians and Dancers are passionate about the profession. We're just sorelyoutnumbered by the musicians and dancers who are just running through afk macrotaining.


>>Thisisvery speculative. Whyare you so caught up on what otherentertainers are doing?Who cares if they're afk, just ignore them and roleplay/entertaintill your hearts content. Let's talk about the whole "outnumbered" idea... how does this effect you? When I go in to a cantina, I only listen/watch someone without the AFK tag. Also, if your all grouped, chances areI'll be watching one of you so each person will getXP.


We are constantly working at improving the quality of both ourselves and our profession. One of the best things we can lobby for in order to improve our profession is to request the removal of the AFK'ers. Also, we answer all hologrinder questions with the same respect that the question is asked. When someone comes to the forums and says "**edit** te **edit**ing hoelo mad mee pek op this **edit**ing perfeshon gime a macro so I kan goe pwn mor tings agin" I am much less likely to be respectful in my reply than if someone says "Hey, sorry to butt inand clutteryour boards, but I'm choosing to do the holos and wondered if anyone could give me a couple of pointers to doing musician. Thanks."


>> See above in regards to your first comment. In regards to respecting hologrinders, I'm calling BS. Perform a simple search for "AFK Macro" in the Entertainer, Dancer, or Musicianforums and look at theseso-called respectful responses (atleast the ones that haven't been deleted or edited already).


The fact is, there are hundreds of macros provided on the Musician, Dancer, and Entertainer boards, all it takes is one quick search and these macros will pour out of the system for anyone who actually tries. A little more effort and the macroers could easily create their own macros! No one needs to come here and beg for AFK macros anymore, because they are readily available. (I mean, come on, if the new-born LAMer is looking for a macro, all it has to do is ask someone else in the cantina for the macro they're using...oh wait...never mind, that's not possible because everyone's AFK! My mistake, I guess they can't pick up the macros from the cantina.)


>> The fact is that many of you are just being snotty anddon't want questions asked repeatedly on your precious forums that have already beenanswered. Instead of just ignoring the post, you have to belittle them.Ifnon-AFK Master Dancers/Musicians wereavailable, I wouldn't have a need for the AFK'ers. From my experiences, the majority has been extremely unreliable.

Doh!And hereI thought he'd found a way to play the game without being at the computer. Here I was going to ask him how to do that. It'd sure save me a bundle on a laptop capable of running Galaxies if I could play the game when away from my desktop... Ah well, back to putting money into my laptop fund.

Joe'Egg, Carkoon City Director of Entertainment, Master Musician, and all around good guy at your service.


If you are ever on the Wanderhome server, give ol Joe'Egg a tell. I'll be sure you give you a buff... and i won't be afk. Unlike other musiciansIprefer to directly interact with my customers. Not only do you get a buff,but you get a friend as well. Have a nice day!

hehe.... I don't like watching TV, I usually go mow my lawn when I afk.


By the way I Mastered ID, Entertainer, Musician and Dancer all in 2 and a half weeks and have moved onto TKM and now doing Architect.


My goal in this game is to getEVERY badge I can(81 at the moment), not just to open a Jedi slot. So if I have to use a macro to get my goal accomplished then I will.


How do you feel about that?

well, since you're doing that by setting up a macro and mowing your lawn, I feel like you should be sending me your money instead. I promise to send you a little digital badge every week in return.

Sure thing, I will need your bank routing number and checking account number to do this, that way I can put the money right into your account.


I will also need to see a proof of the badge you will give me.


I also have a macro that harvest hide, are youpeople mad that I have one of those also?


Don't worry Publish 10 is around the corner.





jk of course

Personally I can't wait until the idiotic holo grinding is over with. It has caused the most damage to this game of anything the devs have introduced.

Maybe when the dust settles entertainers can go back into the cantinas and do what we do best...entertain

That's just the point. He doesn't WANT to do it. Nor do I, any more than I wanted to do Ranger. We are forced to due to the design of the game. Quit shooting the wounded.


So whats the excuse for all the rude, pompous, hateful attitudes on this forum? I have been on this forum just one day and already I would classify it as the worst of the profession forums. All I can figure is the dreadful grind to master musician makes you mean and hateful... All the more reason to AFK it and drop it quickly!

ANGER!!!









you (to the people on this forum in general) are rude to me, i will be rude to you, im sick of trying to be nice on this forum when i get crap thrown back in my face:


btw theres a button called caps lock, i will demonstrate



MABEY A PROFESSION HE WANTS TO DO IS JEDI BUT HAS TO GO THROUGH MUSICIAN/DANCER/ENTERTAINER TO GET THERE FIRST. HE PROBABLY DOESNT ENJOY SITTING WATCHING EVERY 10 SECONDS FOR THE WORDS "YOU GAIN 12 MUSICIAN EXP" APPEAR FOR 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT.


IF HE WANTS TO DO JEDI,LET HIM GET THERE THE WAY HE CHOOSES. AS STATED ABOVE, ITS THE DEVELOPER'S SYSTEM OF HOLOGRINDING, NOT HIS FAULT THAT HE WANTS JEDI.

Ok so im done apologizing. i have since been flamed for trying to explain my own reasoning.


once again, i restate


this is the most critical, hateful, and rude profession board (along with dancer) that i have ever been a part of. You need to chill out and not yell at people who are playing the game the way it is currently allowed.


Once again, to spite you all, i am making my AFK-Buff bot public outside coronet, thanks for giving me the will to change my mind from private.


you did this to yourselves, flame on

listen everybody doesnt have to be fighting over this stuff we all pay 15 bucks per month and we pay that to have fun like the afk macroers that want to become a jedi they macro because they will think being a jedi is cool or fun and like the never afk guys they like being a musicain so they could do that

The problem with AFK macroers is that their 15$ spent are directly diminishing my gameplay experience, while my 15$ don't touch a grinders "fun" at all.


I wonder how aggressive crafters would get if I ask for a money dupe in their forums. After all, SOE is forcing me to get money by their capitalist bazaar system. They build it, they must have intended for people to use credit dupes. After all, if they did not intend it, it would never have been in the game, right ?
