Thread: Musicians should loose their buffing ability!
Jasynn wrote:
You can see doctors out there all the time selling buffs. However the entertainers don't even deserve their ability to do mind buffs. If your lucky you can find one that's NOT afk. Even then, they often just say no to your request to buy one. Add to that the fact that their buffs only last 1.5-2 hours it hardley makes the effort to get one worth it. By trhe time you get through the shuttle waits, arrive at your destination, hook up with a group and run a mission or two, they are all gone. You can forget finding an master dancer or musician out in the field buffing in out of the way cantinas or camps.
I'm sorry and I know that I will get flamed, but these classes are completely useless in how they play the game. I would rather have NPS entertainers to heal and buff.
NEVER TIP AN AFK ENTERTAINER!
This is the most absurd thread. Just because you don't have people skills enough to make nice with an entertainer that isnt afk... (most people in this forum) you think my 275 customers should loose their right to buffs? With this kind of attitude towards entertainers its no wonder that your hearing "no" a lot. Maybe you should direct your efforts to help get entertainers back in the cantina's via removing the afk-macrotainers. I can tell you that I for one am buffing all the time. Both in the cantina and in camps all over. Here is an average day relating to buffs. Start in my hometown buffing in the cantina/ jamming. Go hunting with people. Buff in a group by the krayts. Go to an exotic planet, more hunting more tent buffing. Go back to a quieter planet meet up with friends. Run around and get /tells to buff some more so I do. Head home, work on my city, buff and jam. Now if someone came up to me with the attitude of "gosh its about time I found a d@m entertainer to do a buff for me. FFW, buff me." I would prolly say no too. Why? Because its not your right to be buffed by me. I make ton's of money with my regulars why would i decide to take crap from you for a measly 5k, I have 7mil all from entertaining. Your particular 5k means nothing. Now I play an entertainer for the fun, interactions and friendships that come from it. You walk in your cool, your nice; of course I would. Why? Because I may have just met another nice friend or at minimum a new customer.
I suggest you first seak out the true entertainers on your server, then make nice and soon your problems will be eliminated.
I cant explain why the musicians on your server act like this, but I know it is not how I play the game. I have an extensive client list that I travel to for buffs. Thats right, I go to them. I make a good living in the game doing this too. I also group buff so they can all reap the benefits of what is a useful buff. Igo out in the field with them as I am almost a master pistoleer too. Sounds like the people you have run in to dont have an interest in playing the game or dont know how to.
Please stop making absurd generalizations about all musicians.

Well... Not much I can say that hasn't been said but...
If someone asks for a buff from me, and isn't a complete jerk, I'll give them one. If someone asks, I make it clear that it's only an 86% buff 'cause I'm not master and buff anyway. (86%... Thanks Dor for that extra 11% You're the nicest dancer in the galaxy...)
Make about 5K a time when not buffing friends/hunting buddies. And am never AFK. Just ignore your AFK musicians. Don't tip them. If there's a buffbot about, use an at-keyboard musician. They'll appreciate it a lot more. And talk to your musician. You might even make a new friend.
And above all, I KNOW the dancers look nice in their skimpy costumes... But your musicians need to earn a living too. If we're at-keyboard, throwing us a tip or a stim once in a while doesn't hurt.
Most real musicians are great people and fun to hang around with, I've found. Just because the ones you've met on your server are AFK-tainers, it doesn't mean we all are.

"May the funk be with you."
"I know Kung Funk!"
HA HA. You make me to be the problem. I am very nice to ent's in game. The problem with your proffession still exists, whether you want to admit it or not. Read the Dancer forum. I posted te same thing there and every one of them admits and understands the problem. Furthermore, they understand the frustaion I felt when I made the post.
If you want to know how I ask for a buff...lets see...just yesterday
Me: "Can i buy a buff from you please?"
Ent: "How about NO!"
:Me: "That was a little rude. All you had to say was 'sorry, no'".
Ent: "How about you go F^&* yourself."
Me: "What a jerk"
I love it when you throw out the work troll when ever you don't like or want to hear what's said.

Are you sure this isn't roleplay? Are you an imp or reb or wookiee?
