Give event jobs credits

[Chambers]

Name: Doom/Chambers

Suggestion: Add Money to event jobs

Implementation: Give all event jobs a flat rate of pay. (300 credits I am going to say)

Lore: N/A

Workshop content if applicable: N/A
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

 

Some event jobs spend 2 hours+ working their asses off to put on a good event. They deserve some sort of something for the time they put in

no, why? no, no, no, no no no no no and no.

In short, -1.

-1 For the simple reason that you are being an event job to help bring entertainment to an event, not to be rewarded. The only kind of "reward" you get is being counted as an event helper and of course you get to be interesting jobs and have interesting RP.

-1 You're there to help not make profit.....

-1, being an event job is your own choice. You dont do it to get paid. You do it to possibly let the server enjoy something the GM wants to make.

[Tango]

+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to get more exciting events and promoting that jobs get money too will help promote more event jobs. More event jobs is more events!

[Banjans]

Neutral I agree with both sides on this.

[PUCK]

-1 ehhhh, no. The reason why your an event job is for two reasons. A) The person that is an event job is give people something to do and or shoot at on the ship instead of sitting on their arses and complain about being board. B) A good alternative of wanting credits during is to stay your Jedi/Clone/ or Naval.

While this is true and I agree with you, most people with VIP rarely are an event job, because they get nothing out of it. As a gamemaker, I've had multiple times where all/almost all my event jobs are staff and I have to cut the event down to meet the amount of event jobs I can get. Many people will not be event jobs unless it has some sort of reward/payment. This would motivate more people to want to be an event job, as most jobs already earn 300+ anyways, at least now they aren't losing much money, if any.

It's not a reward to get paid 300C either. The only jobs that currently make less than this if I'm not mistaken is CC at 50C, Youngling at 100C, CT at 250C, and R2D2/C3PO at 250C. 300C would actually still mean losing money for being an event job, rather than being on your main job for almost everyone.

The bottom line is, I'm a huge +1 ,and as a gamemaker especially. I feel like this would get us more event jobs, which I've noticed have become increasingly scarce. A 300C pay for event jobs is hardly anything anyways, when you compare it to what their normal job likely makes.

 

NOTE: I'm not saying we need to reward event jobs by giving them a pay increase, but they shouldn't lose their pay entirely, especially when some events takes 2-4 hours. I know most of us have seen event jobs leave in the middle of an event, probably some of which left for this reason.

While the numbers of event jobs may be down, we should (in my opinion) never resort to essentially bribing people to be event jobs. In my almost 2 years being here (IFN then to here) we always told event jobs that they won't get rewarded since that's not the point of being an event job. It instills a bad moral into people which will make them think they should only do something for a reward and technically we would be supporting that. Just my opinion. Not trying to argue. Honestly if this does pass (which this is a staff thing so they'll probably bring it up with High Staff.) then I wouldn't lose sleep or anything. It could work for a while.

I have been having this problem where I have been running into is VIP's coming hoping there is some sort of money RP they can do..... (Casino/gambling/bribes) Because they are doing the grind and if they are helping with an event it's almost 3 hours of grinding for that next skill point or Weapon gone.  It's not like we are asking to pay them more than they would get on a regular job.

That's actually something I forgot to mention. The money event jobs got were from those passive RP events where people would come on the ship and sell weapons.

The big gay is spreading.

[Ccmonty]

+1

[Alec]

-1 People shouldn't be event jobs cause they want to get paid. Event jobs are supposed to do it for the sake of the server. Not to get money for it.

-1 I don’t think this will encourage the players to be an event job. Also this is just uneccesary 

[Taur]

-1 we don't want people to become an event job because they can earn a bit more money

[Alexz]

+1 as long as a number is finalized I don't think they should get payed more than regular jobs but they should get something.

[Esitt]

Personal View: Seems like a total money grab to allowed event jobs credits, It could be a complete minge doing the event just for a little more credits. Could be abuse easily and its not needed.

Tester View: Could intise more people to be event jobs, which currently is hard to find. Could also possibly make it so RP could be better just from being payed while doing it.

Pros: Possible better RP, People are getting money from being event jobs, MORE people would become event jobs.

Cons: Not needed, Money grab, People could just farm the money and do fuck all as an event job, finally it could be abused.

Overall: -1

[Chambers]

There is a blacklist  system in place with the GM program, if event jobs joined just to farm money and not perform the roles required and are only there to farm money that's something different and you could be blacklisted.

 

I'm only staring at 300credits to start since that's what most normal trooper jobs make so it's not like they are making more than normal.
