First, thank you for all ur input, its very nice to get diferent perspectives on this topic !
Now my answers
@johnsins : the only reason i care about it is the auctions . This change has made an incredible gap now between the 1% (to take emmie's word) and the rest, which if the rich re smart , will simply never be closed. As for the rooms , maybe u re right that 2/4 rounds arent bad, but multiply it every day by 2 or 3 and i do think it s become a chore. That said, in my initial post i didnt realize that prem avatars still start with 1k, so using the 6th spot for farming does give u 1k a day, which seems decent pocket money now.
@mikoha : i absolutely agree if u paid for it, it certainly shouldnt get wiped/divided. Stripping , on the other hand, paid very well because money was easy for all, so while u may think u ve worked for it, it still was money tainted by alt farming from my point of view.
@alexa : yes , everyone is on equal footing for making money, and thats a very good thing. But those having a big wallet now dont need to make any money, and that ll be true for a long time if they use it wisely. As for escort/auction, i know it very well but i think u dont realize that now that they turned off the tap, the money will be way scarcer everywhere, wether its auctions, johns or stripping. If i take my example, theres no way ill pay even 5k for an hour with anyone anymore at auctions, and i mostly feel the prostitution is distastefull in this game (fyi, i take auctions as matchmaking, not really a money matter). And i ll have to see what guys still can fetch on auctions, because i always felt most of what they got were pity bids. In a way i agree with u tough, i like the changes but i think the transition will be painfull , because those 10 billions in circulation are insane compared to the daily created money, which just got shrunk to 1% of what it was (and im being generous here)
@avax : totally agree with u, my view is it was a great change (sorry if i hadnt made it clear), but it needs a little tuning still so money is only an issue for the few who do care for it, which is why i made this post. People really need to make a difference between money creation and money transfer. Transfer isnt reliable, unless you transfer it from your own alts. And if i have to transfer money from alts, well that means the game economy is just off.
@emmie : tks for seeing the problem. I dont see that many other solutions tough, only wait a while so the existing money is diluted (might take years tbh, considering the figures) or..... multiplying all game earnings by 10 ? (also multiply the cost of clothes by 5, and obviouly give 45 k more to the pple who actually bought 5k ig$ with rl cash else they ll feel scammed)
@kumori: very much agreed too, i just think pple who wanna play "normally" (ww and beach hookups) shouldnt have to care for money at all, while pple who wanna play to get the fattest bank account should be on equal footing. So yes, it must be hard to balance.
TL/DR killing alt farming=good. But need easier way to make money
