this is why covercharge is useless. because of jerks like this not using it and because you get the same buff from jerks that you get from masters. And as for buff bots im sorry but theres no way to stop people from going afk and youre lying if you say you never go afk too.

Zero. Never charge. Never will. Don't recall asking for the "feature"


And I have never gone AFK for an excess of 30 seconds. Anly longer and I stop dancing or playing, sit down, and gladly display my AFK tag. Though I presume I am lying.

I charge a measly 69 credits... cuz I'm cheap and naughty that way. Plus, I always seem to get a laugh when folks watch/listen to me and see the amount.

no way to stop people from going afk = true


however the buff bot's infesting cantina's with spam is annoying, you cannot say that you were not affected by these, especialy in the busy cantina's. I know that there used to be 5 afk buff-bots in cnet 24/7 and now there is 1 or 2. Good change.... However with the cover charge this number will go back up again, because they can moderate who pays them and who doesn't once again. What i don't understand is why because of a VALID Opinion you called someone a jerk


from my point of view, i'm right


from yours your right, same goes for everyone else...


but in the end it will come down to, at what times do you set a cover charge?


all up to the entertainer in the end, what clientel you wish to attract and which clientel you wish to drive away


ok, my comments on this topic are spent

and of course calling your fellow entertainers jerks and disparaging their choice in how they perform is exactly the way to continue a civil discussion about the topic.

Sorry you are wrong about the not going AFK I have never buffed pre CU or after whilst not ATK If you knew my toon you would know this as a fact so I wonder who the Jerk is now.



I have never had a problem making money as an Entertainer because I interact with my customers I put on a show that is there for people to enjoy Pre CU I never had a set charge and was tipped by choice from the people who chose to watch/listen to me. I suggest you try playing the game as intended before you react to a post in the manner you did. Ill bet your bank account will love you for it.

I don't use covercharge because i'm not performing to make money. Thats my choice.

It saddens me that people are reluctant to pay 100 credits, let alone 1000.
