1. INCREASE THE GFX PAYOUT FOR HIGHER QUALITY WORK.
Making graphics can be extremely fun, however they aren’t very rewarding at the moment. Banging out 1k word articles can be done very quickly, while working on graphics has a much higher learning curve and usually takes a lot more time. I don’t think raising the payout on gfx across the board is the answer. Low effort graphics should not be rewarded. However, I believe 4’s and up should have a payout increase. A 4 should at the very least be comparable a 1k word article. Ideally more. So I believe the baseline for a 4 should be $1.6M. And somewhere around $2.5-$3M for a 5. I understand why a 10k word article could award a lot of money because no picture can cover that amount of content, but it is almost not worth making money through graphics when media offers so much more for less time or effort. There are plenty of talented individuals in this league and I believe they should be properly rewarded for their art. On the topic of graphics, players should be able to do gfx commissions. If I want to pay someone out of my own funds for creating graphic for me, why not? Of course there could be caps on it, and the payout could be determined by a grader. But I see no reason why we couldn’t pay another player for a service they would provide. Lastly on graphics, I think a bi-weekly or even once a month gfx bonus would go a long way. Maybe during the playoffs or Ultimus/Ultimini week, award 1.5x gfx rewards for creating images of your team vs opposing teams. Something fun that would encourage everyone to create while offering a little bit of extra cash. Ultimus/Ultimini week is a big deal and I think we should treat it as such. I think the media portion is okay, but holds a significant advantage over gfx. I won’t go into much detail on that topic.
