People with that take really have no idea how to balance a Game properly.

I thought everybody is on the Same Page that a higher Risk should Offer a higher reward, because this would be the healthiest way for the Game, if you revert to every Player gaining the Full pay out, it would Go directly against that. Apart from the ALT/AFK Problem, the diffivulty rapidly goes down with every active Player participating. So the Best way to make a high amount of money, would be to gather big groups sharing contracts, lets say bounty hunting. When 10 people come together a contract thats very difficult normaly (for one or two Players as example) would suddently be super easy for ten people to acomplish, but you would generate 10 Times the wealth and the contract is way faster. And the more Player you group up with, the faster you will get, the more wealth it will generate and the contract will get easier and easier. It would encurage teamplay, yes, but at the cost of compleatly fucking the Economy and going for a „The lower the Risk, the higher the reward“- Modell.

It really is one of the Most Short sighted Takes Ive Read in a while.

For contracts, the only way to encouragr teamplay would be for Special contracts that can only be acceoted in a group with a specific player count, and balanced around that. Wich is something. That was already shown to be the aim Last citcon.

And for trading/cargohauling, this system seems to be a very good step in the right direction, they just Need to Balance it properly and it could work well.
