i'd like to add that you can't use /changemusic while in a band. this would be nice because sometimes i'd like to hang out in a group, but i have to keep leaving so i can buff.

1. Move Mando amd Ceremonial into the Musician tree! Learning to dance badly and do makeup worse then a first week beauty school student...to get to play an instrument/song is ridiculous. Tell a Pistoleer he needs to master Marksman in order to use a new pistol and see what crap you get back.
2. AFKs...help!
3.Self-Buffs

The biggest threat to our profession is buffbots that are appearing in alarming numbers. Unless this issue is addressed in a timely mannor, we won't need this board as we will all be replaced by machines. Same with the Dancersand Entertainers boards too. This is what needs to be addressed first and foremost before stuff like new songs or dancing droids... This is fast becoming an emergency issue as our profession is in serious jeapody as cities and PA's see these as a draw for new people dispite what it does to our profession. This has to be brought to the devs as an emergency issue.

Great list ! The fix for the /register would be awesome. I know when I am out travelling and want to hook up with some live entertainers the Planetary map is totally useless since every cantina has a starburst beside it.

My top general issues forMusicians (Most apply to Dancers as well.)
1) Change the way /join works! They NEED to make it so /join can not be in a macro. If they allow buffbots they might as well just remove these professions. This is a game breaking problem as far as I am concerned. A real player can be completely replaced by a bot forDancers/Musicians and that should not be allowed to continue.
2)Decide on aFIRM numberEXACTLY how long they want it to take us to buff. Dont base it on the number of flourishs orsong level. I am sick of watching exotic 4/listening to Virtuoso, I would like to be able to buff and heal equally as well with anysong (or dance). The music/dance should just be for the entertainment value only. The buff and healing factor should be determined byentertainer skill, not by the music/dance itself. I dont care if its ten minutes either because I can buff 19 others for no resource cost or crafting time. This speed buff stuff about spaming flourishs that aren't being animated is cheesy and and exploit IMO. It's clear the devs expected people to actually watch/listen toan entertainer.
3)Our buffs should be as good and last as long as doc buffs. Different timersare annoying to people.
4)We could use some kind of group support role. It would be great to take myentertainer on hunting parties as a pure support character. Something like the role bards play in EQ, where their presence grants the whole party benifits while they are performing.
A note on a subject I see debated. I dont think dancers or musicians should be able to buff all three mind stats. If they are going to do that their will be no difference in the professions. The devsmight as well just merge the professions if they do that.
I could care less about missions. I can make 10k buffing one person so high credit missions are meaningless to me. Credits are never a problem once you reach master. Getting to master is easy, the problems are in the lack of rewarding gameplay once you get there.
Thats how I see the state of these professions ATM. BTW, this is my experience on a 100% full time roleplaying entertainer. That is all this character does. I am semi retired until the hologrinders and bots are gone. I see the100% non combat character beingviable and fun, but the bots and buff situations need to be fixed. Until then I will mainly play other professions on other servers.
