Nautius Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Edited: Buff everyone you see as you run around! (End Edits) And then we can all be buffed. Sometimes I like to buff hard and fast and sometimes slow and easy! But buffing is fun. You don't have to make a commitment. Here's a little fact: Currently, the species offered in TOR are the only ones that are know to buff for pleasure and not out of instinct. So, I say let's buff one another. And often.

Kabloosh Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Unfortunately when you give you shouldn't expect anything back. Some people might be afk or just not notice it. If you don't like getting buffed back just don't bother doing it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboudreaux Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 that is so funny!!!!!! thank you LOL seriously you are correct .. simple courtesy goes a long way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belialle Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I totally agree that it's only polite to reciprocate. ....But! I just wanted to point out that it's not always totally obvious that someone just buffed you, especially when you aren't expecting it. I bet that a lot of the time the person you buff didn't even notice it. Some of the animations just don't jump out at you.

Yes, buffing a person who is asleep or not paying attention is pleasure for some and rude for others... very important point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautius Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know I am making light of it, but in many, maaannny cases I wonder if people even know they have them. I just buff anyone I see if I can. I figure if most people are doing the same, we would all have most of them up at any given time. It's just being nice and courteous. And I was not being serious about any kind of requirement to buff back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubernetic Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I buff freely and without expecting return buffs. You have to be willing to give of yourself without expectation of return in order to properly buff someone. Sometimes I'll target someone running through the area I'm in and can only buff them as they're about to clear the screen! Should they stop what they're doing, turn around, come find me and figure out who buffed them, then buff me back? No, just keep going, and buff someone else to return the favor! Don't be stingy with your buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DredWes Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Buffing random players is like lending money to family. If you get it back, great but don't expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 i don't buff everyone i see. that would be pretty annoying. however, out in the world, if i see someone nearby fighting the enemy, and i have a moment, i'll throw him a buff and a missile.

Buff a Buddy I agree. I've always done that in all the MMOGs I've played. If I buff you, you should be buff me back. It's polite. However, people rarely seem to do that in this game. In fact, the only times I tend to be buffed by other people is when I'm grouping with them. It's all very odd.

Qoojo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I am sorry to say, that I have a very hard time noticing when people buff me. It's not intentional, and I do buff others now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSamourai Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I tend to do it whenever I can, especially to lowbies. I actually had some guy get mad at me the other day (lvl 50), he told me I distracted him when he was mailing something to a guildmate....big deal bro, big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemitka Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I shamefully admit that I sometimes forget the obligatory buff-back. Either because I failed to notice the buff or because I am in a group and I'm nervous that I'll screw something up and thus (once again) fail to notice the buff.
