I think it may be a worthy endeavor, however, due to the nature of entertainer healing, until the hologrind stops or even just slows a little, tipping for healing is the last thing that can be fixed.

Ent healing has 2 major problems that separate it from Doctor healing, such that, at least today you cannot do anything other than suggest tips, and for entertainers, the people who would tip are already tipping.

Problem 1- Entertainer healing is only the healing of WOUNDS on the 3 mind stats and battle fatigue. Whereas a doctor can get healing xp for healing damage, we need to wait to see wounds to get the XP. Entertainers do not have the active supply of tumblers and ...well...entertainers that medics can heal. In that respect, and this can be seen all around, people beg in spam to heal your wounds.

Problem 2- Entertainer healing is passive and always on by default. No intervention is required by the entertainer to "start" healing someone. Medics can automate healing, but it is not the default that anyone walking into the medcenter can radial a medic and get healed. It is theoretically possible to macro "/denyservice" so that you restrict everyones ability to heal from you without your intervention, but you would need to /denyservice everyone. Also, as there are generally 20+ people performing in coronet and theed, not everyone afking there would /deny people. Plus you have that nuissance of hard to come by healing that is needed (problem 1).

Please make suggestions as any tips are better than none, but as we heal differently, by different procedures, standards can't really be imposed. Those people who don't want to pay us, simply find an afker or someone desperate enough to even pay them for the priveledge to heal them.
