This is a discussion about money-packs and their impact on the economy.
I think that we should look to minimize the amount of cash that is generated from thin air and while I've long been vocal against money-packs and pushed to remove them in the past, I also know they are a significantly important aspect that will ensure the longevity of this community and the longevity of a certain somebodies yacht.
That being said, what are some possible solutions?
Proposed System - Token System
Instead of donating for in-game money directly, individuals will be gifted 'X' amount of tokens for their small donation. These tokens will be able to be used on an in-game server casino system, possible a physical entity, that can potentially reward them with in-game money, random item(s), week membership pass, itemized perks (ie. item that when used increases salary for 'X' amount of hours/days), or potentially even land you earning absolutely nothing.
While this may introduce some money back into the economy it will certainly bring in less as individuals may be getting items which will not be generating in-game money. Instead, they can choose to either keep their items or sell them to others which in the long run will reduce the amount of generated money but also increase player interaction and use of the Marketplace.
I think this system has a lot of areas to expand upon - especially itemized perks and being able to offer a # of unique aspects that will offer more than the current system does while being less impactful.
Additionally, these itemized perks will be items that can be traded/sold to others thus creating a player market.
