Well after reading this thread, it is so funny how some stand up for TSO and those that are not happy with the money situation in Ealand are written off as complainers. This sad game needs complainers....These little mini simgods that call themselves devs have complete control in this game. The rules seem to change as often as the moods of these devs and rarely in the right direction.
Of course we are all told that the reason for the lower money payouts is to discourage the people using bots. I am really tired of all the time and energy that is spent on chancing botters while the rest of us pay. Time and energy lost that could be spent on helping to achieve a better game. Few things are more annoying in this game then overwork penalty on the pizza table. This has been set so low that non botters are getting dinged all the time. How does this help the game?
Payouts are almost not worth the time. The lag in a full house drives me crazy so I don’t even think about joining one to jam at max amount of payout. Which are about $520 per round (which means 45 minutes give or take) for jam and about 15 minutes to re-green so basically one is lucky to make $520 every hour with max skills and max number of players.
Before ealand we were making around 15k to 18k a round of pizza per sim. Lots were cheat, moving was cheap, items were cheap. When ealand opened we were making around 1k a round per sim on pizza. Cost of everything high. Now it is down between 400 and 500 per sim per round on pizza and the cost of everything has gone up even higher. A lot can cost over 10k more like 20k in ealand. So just to buy a cheap lot would take over 20 hours of game play. But this is just the start, for your 10k it took you 20 hours to make; the lot is so small that you can’t even think of building on it. Some Dev thinks this is a great way to keep people happy and playing this game. Real life is hard and people take a lot of knocks in real life, this game should be fun, enjoyably and rewarding. Really why would one waste their time in simland when x-box or any number of other computer games that offered escape and enjoyment that people are looking for? Sorry devs you are not doing right by this game to keep lowering the payouts. It is upsetting to people that you keep changing the rules.
I only thinks the payouts are low to force people to buy $ from the ATM’s. The ATM’s may not be making as much money as the devs were hoping it would. I really don’t think they care about much more then that. The prices are so high on lots and forget about trying to move a lot, the cost is crazy. The cost to stores to buy new items is over the top. We get no bonus for skilling, or for a house being in the top 100. There is no buy back. Are we having fun yet?
I am not sure what the goal of this game is anymore. In the beginning, we need to skill, to make money to buy a lot and build a house, try and get people to come to your house. Skilling as boring as it is and as long as it takes, was an important part of this game. Now with skill bonus being so low, why bother getting skills? Now with payouts being so low by bother taking the time to painting, pazzaing or jamming, coding or any of the other money making items, lets just buy $ at the ATMs……..So I am guessing the new goal of this game is to buy $. Hey the devs are rewarded us by using the ATM. We get more lava cards. Oh boy, what joy…….
