The problem is the scale can get very drastically out of control. It's very easy for a grader to have wildly different scoring on sigs, especially with multiple graders, but even a single grader. SHL uses that kind of sytem, but 1-10. Some examples:
- 9/10
- 7/10
- 8/10
- 6/10
- 7/10
- 10/10
- 4/10
- 5/10
Not only is it wildly inconsistent, it's extremely harsh, especially on people who are trying to learn graphics as they go. Why keep trying to make graphics if you're just going to get 1s and 2s? At least with static pay, it makes people want to keep working on graphics, which over time will naturally help them improve.
Then there's the fact that having multiple graders could have incredibly different opinions of what constitutes a 5 and what is a 4. Honestly for me, in your examples, I don't really see a difference between the 3 and 4 that warrants $250,000 difference in pay.
Edit: for the record those 8 graphics were all graded by the same person
