There are few opportunities to make a steady income particularly at a low level. For those with bigger investments there are LAs and we now have deeds for people who want to spend a few hundred ped on something.
I think this will be a great opportunity for new (and old) participants to draw a regular ped income to act as a foundation for their hunting/mining/crafting activities if they wish.
The bulk of the economy is really at the whim of random luck at the moment, so I feel the introduction of these jobs should be a step in the right direction to creating the foundation of a more solid economy.
The details will be ironed out through consultation, here ND has outlined the general direction and I think it is a good one and an important one to ensure the long term suitability of entropia.
We always want change, now this is a period of great change and we should get behind it and support it.
ND was the elected candidate, for those who could vote they could have voted against him. For those who didn't like the idea of creating virtual jobs they could have stood against him in the election but no one did. Surely people realised that the peds to pay people to do a job must come from somewhere? So lets support this because we are finally getting some communication and action around here
.
If we complain at every change the universe will remain static forever. This was the first change that we had at least some input behind (voting for ND was essentially a vote for the creation of these jobs) and yet we still complain.
