(Debate) Should We Remove The New Pocket-Money System?

[Cave]

(I believe this should go in general, my apologies if I should have put it somewhere else.)
So I'm sure everyone knows about the new pocket-money system. You log on and wait thirty minutes and you get money, bam. At first glance it seemed great: Log on, stay for thirty minutes, you get money. But when you think about it, it starts to look more negative...
So since I am in the college level, I get 425 yen per 30 minutes. People below college level get less. Now, let's do the calculation for how much you would get per day with this system:
425 yen ⋅ (24h ⋅ 2) = 20400 yen.
That would be being online non stop for an entire day. None (or very few) of us would do that. I will say you are on for 5 hours a day and are a college student.
425 yen ⋅ (5h ⋅ 2) = 4250 yen.
Looking like a bit less, now, isn't it? You even would have to be on for four hours straight (which many can not accomplish).
Now with the old pocket-money system, if you were on for roughly 10 minutes and you have been on for a week (or was it five days?) in a row, you would get 5500 yen. That is a difference of 1250 yen, even more for people below college level.
If you were on for an entire week for 10 minutes (with the maximum amount of pocket-money in the old system):
5500 yen ⋅ 7d = 38500 yen (yes, of course you would spend some).
If you were on for an entire week for five hours (with college rank in the new system):
4250 yen ⋅ 7d = 29750 yen (yes, again, of course you would spend some).
38500 yen - 29750 yen = 8750 yen.
That is a difference of 8750 yen, even more for those below college rank.
Not all people can even be on for 5 hours everyday of the week.
Yes, I know we voted for this to be added, but we made an innocent mistake. I believe that this new pocket money system was has good intentions, but fails to execute what we thought we were getting.
I don't want to cause any distress among anyone, but I want to at least see the opinions of the other players.

Thank you for voting or at least reading.

Where's the "scripts don't really affect rp so i don't know why you're complaining about how much money you're getting after an update" option?

Seriously, if you're playing on an RP server to get money and purchase scripts which shouldn't be contributing to your RP in most situations, then you shouldn't be playing an RP server. Money doesn't mean anything, material possessions may mean something in real life or in normal Minecraft, but y'know what I've grown up hearing in RP communities?

"YOU DON'T NEED SCRIPTS TO RP"
​

Apologies for the aggressive rant that didn't really make that much sense, but you should be worrying about getting RP, not how much money is in your virtual pocket.

Very true now that I think about it. You have changed how I view this update to an extent. I am still going to keep this post up, though. In case anyone else wants to give their opinion.

Zero you always say things about scripts so let us emagine this:
Mity: "Zero wanna go to the coffee shop? get some drinks hang out ya know?"
Zero: "Sure bud"
*They arrive*
Mity: *gets coffee and sits down*
Zero: *too poor to buy coffee because scripts dont matter*

The system is not there to benefit how much money you would get, it's an alternative to the old plugin which we did not own, and was causing serious lag to the server.

It really annoys me to see how you are ****ysing how much money you get to buy scripts, treating the server as some sort of MMoRPG instead of a RP Server.

 

[Neugs]

Hmm. Yes, but with the current plugin, it might be a little easier for people to play a long time in a row. Here, let me explain

Imagine you just came back to the server after a long time, and your yen per day is only 300. You get killed, now what. You have no yen, and no food. You will starve. Or even if you didn't die, you could just play a long time, and eat all your food/money away. And then you have to quit until the next day to earn your allowance.

But this time, imagine the same dilemma, but instead, you get 300 yen every 30 minutes. Well, you die. Then, you simply wait 30 minutes and buy yourself some food. Or imagine just playing a long time, this time, you will get money as you play, and thus you can still buy food and you will not have to leave the server, waiting for the next day.

Both sides have there pros and cons, but either way, the server is about roleplaying not making money and such, so either way, the server is still good.

Oh sorry, didn't think about that one.
