Hmm... not that the idea of props doesn't sound interesting (and it has been asked for, so I guess we can't complain about it), but if they are removingyet one moresignificant bit of our interdependency, they really better lower the skill point requirements soon. Which of course will mean less incentive for the Devs to add any content for us in the future...


So basically we're in a downward spiral here

I'll see if I can find out any more information about this.

Thanks, Scip. Although I think drastic times call for drastic measures, I fully understand how the changes will be a concern for some.


There is a very valid fear that NPC city cantinas will become empty, and people won't come by anyways.


What exactly would be the motivation to see an Entertainer, I mean buffing is nice - but even when we were nearly essential to PvP and PvE, people didn't tip us. By design the new buffs won't be essential, just kinda handy.


I'm all for changing (whatever we have now hasn't worked for awhile), but what exactly is our place in this game anymore.


Arguably, a "buffer" can still very easily be considered a "healer."

Right now, I don't see any "need" for people to visit us for BF healing anyway, except possibly for PvP reasons. I've racked up 1k of BF on Tralmek from some poor piloting decisions and yet have gone out and collected a bunch of BE & tailor-needed resources from high-level creatures with no problem whatsoever from my huge amount of BF (also matching wounds). *shrug*
