100% agreeing with Rav on the mentality of the issue. We really need to start thinking of the community and the overall economy rather than an easy way to line our pockets. This is sticking the nail in the coffin for me in regards to my money-making, so in no regards am I making bias suggestions<br /> <br /> Clicking a button for instant cash is no fun and brings little self-satisfaction. Buying, maxing, trialling, breeding, designing and everything else to do with the dogs is the fun aspect of the game, and should most definitely be the main money maker in the game. Interest should be just a little sweetener, maybe a bit of pocket change to get food or vaccinate a dog, not a way of life. And honestly, if you're complaining about not having enough money, perhaps you need to rethink the way you play on Ala. Budgeting is a good skill to have, in real life and with online games.<br /> <br /> And for those complaining that it's their only source of income, there are tens of ways to make money on the site, especially once the trial system is up! (There will be more ways introduced, I'm guessing, with much more profit being a thing in sight). But honestly, breeding and selling, renting out items, training and maxing, selling sessions, playing the foundations or sales market, buying up items in the sales under the junkyard price and junkyarding them, selling items in bulk, offsite trading, selling art, selling layouts, selling accounts, selling boarding services. Honestly, if you're struggling with making money, contact the NH's, and they will give you tips and tricks. <br /> <br /> A cap sounds like a good idea, but there are ways to get around it. Two accounts, two lots of cap, double the interest (So, the cap and the interest amount would have to be quite low anyway). A person could theoretically ask other people to store money for them then split the interest.<br /> <br /> I think that even with a cap, there's no way we can deny that the interest rates need to be slashed. It shouldn't be a easy climb to the cap.

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular Al =). I just hope that people think of everyone that plays and not just themselves is all =)<br />

Had to punch some numbers into the calculator when providing my one example.<br /> <br /> A reversed tier system definitely would work. Because it gives them a liittle boost while gradually becoming more and more difficult, leading the user to work harder.

It was me that suggested the tier system =)<br /> <br /> As I had it, an upside-down tier would make it EASIER for new members, not harder. It'd make it harder for those with more money. They should still have to work and not just sit back. <br /> <br /> With interest higher with lower amounts, saving will be nice for new members and encourage them to use the bank. For richer members, it will make us have to still work to maintain or riches and give us a more reasonable amount.<br /> <br /> My numbers were just thrown out there to provide an example. If they are low enough, it wouldn't matter if someone split between their two accounts to get a better interest rate because it still wouldn't be earning them 1mil+ interest a week like they do now. =)<br /> <br /> Also guys, let's remember we are looking at this as a COMMUNITY.

How about we put a cap on interest? <br /> <br /> I know its a bizarre thought but I understand the issue that's going on. There are those with triple digital millions in their bank (think 100mil) so I can only imagine how much that is making the economy crumble.<br /> <br /> I for one have 4mil in my bank and just by collecting interest weekly, which I don't however, I can easily just keep building up and building up WITHOUT trialing or playing games. <br /> <br /> <br /> Or as Mizzy said, create a tiered system.<br /> <br /> I understand that a lot of newer users might have issues with this but when trialing comes up, it won't be hard for them to start making thousands to millions of dollars. Especially if they use the "downtime" to train dogs, or purchase trained ones to begin with.<br /> <br /> As for transferring money, if you have 1 mil on one account and 2 mil on the other, have the 2% interest for both you,ll be making 60,000 total. If you put all the money from one account onto another and do interest day that way, you're still making 60,000. <b>So transferring money shouldn't be a problem if both accounts have the same interest since it's the same amount.</b><br /> <br /> My opinion: I myself wouldn't mind a tiered system or a capped one. I understand that the newer users will have problems, but so did I when I first started. When I started, it was near impossible to get a thousand, let alone a million. Now all you need is a good item, sell it and voila. It may seem like it's going to be hard, but once trials are up, money will be flowing into the system quikckly and into the banks just as fast.

Remember, interest builds up overtime. I've literally gained all my money from interest.<br /> Like Sun said, when trials are up, members will have another way to make money. Remember you can always play games daily, and on both accounts, that builds up.<br /> And you could always offer other services such as custom design making, or participate in contests with cash prizes. There are many ways to make money.<br /> Support from me.

I'm sorry I can't say I support this. You may have millions of cash in your bank but others don't and you can only get so much in a day from the games. 1 or 2% isn't the much for newbies and some other players. If you want there to be a way to stop high interest collection it should be that you can't collect interest after a certain amount. I don't really know just throwing out ideas because I can't imagine a lot of people agreeing with this. Of course I could also be wrong on the agreeing thing.

Sorry,<br /> <br /> I agree with Pasercute (#29582). Many new users, or users with low ala cash have a VERY hard time getting it. But- I think it should be changed in a way. I would suggest at least putting a cap on the interest, of 1 million. So, if you have a certain amount of ala cash that would go over interest rates, then that user(s) will just get 1 million, or less.However, I DON'T agree on having a cap for the amount of cash we can have in the bank. Honestly, It's sort of unfair to users if there were to be a cap on how much we can have in the bank. Not all of us spend our money like crazy, and some of us don't want a bunch of cash in hand...

I do not support. I only get maybe 5k max of interest every week and its hard enough to make money since I can't draw or do layouts or anything of the sort.

Once the trialling system is up, members will have plenty of opportunity to gain money. What I'm saying is that there should be no click to instant access money, but rather users should work for it. Many members just live off their interest, which is making the economy out of whack.<br /> <br /> As I say, I know my idea isn't perfect, so I'm asking for solutions, but no member can put their hands up and say that interest has no effect on the economy when i'm getting 1million a week.
