Hi,
OK, I know not everyone in Entropia will care about this but there are a large number of the top players that definitely do and WILL care about this subject. It is definitely a subject that has broken many Socs and caused reformation of more Soc than I can remember over the years.
Situation:
Currently, once a Soc wins LG all the tax on that LG is daily distributed to the members of the Soc based on some very confusion percentage that supposedly based on what percentage of LGs the person joined Soc on. It's very unclear but even members that have been in the Soc more than a month (one cycle of LGs) get less taxes than someone who joined at start of Soc formation. It's very confusing and has no relation to what efforts or PEDs any member put into LGs.
The distribution of LG taxes currently has no relevance to the efforts any member puts into LGs. If you are in the Soc and the Soc wins a LG you get taxes, even for doing nothing, as a result you get members on break etc. that collect taxes even though they contributed nothing to winning the LG.
Ever since LGs have been in this game the distribution of taxes has been a problem. Since this game is "based on a real cash economy." being fair about PED distribution is important. And the current system is not workable.
Solution:
OK, I've heard many ideas and there are many ways things can be done to fix this however since all them involve lots of programming by MA I can't see them being implemented. So I came up with a very simple way that will involve very little or minimal work by MA to implement!!!
Tax distribution formulated using the Deed system, Mining Claim system done in a way that gives taxes to those who contributed to each LG!!!!
How this would work:
1) Once LG starts any avatar entering the LG would be entered into a log of attendees.
2) Once LG is completed and the winners are announced, all those attendees in the winning Soc would receive an item "Trophy" or "certificate" for winning the LG.
3) This item would have an expiration date like a mining claim and would expire at the end of the day of the next LG.
4) This item would be tradeable allowing Soc to better distribute taxes if needed.
5) Each day, when taxes are distributed, all those holding the above item receive an even share of the earned taxes for that day.
Outcome:
As a result those in the Society who contribute to LG will "reap the rewards of their efforts" and those in Soc who are on break or who simply don't like to PK but like the people in the Soc will be happy!!!
This simple idea will go a very very long way towards making LGs more fair and should as a result get more contributing to LGs.
