Discussion about 100 pieces

[Cleophie]

I've posted an interest check topic in Dynamis Discussion to see how the LS feels about our current 100 piece policy. Please discuss that issue here, rather than the other thread (app requirements discussion), so we can keep the topics distinct.

Similiar to what Aceris said, I really dont really care how we deal with 100pcs. Because of the issues and oppsistion thats come up we have kept the policy the same but I dont care if we change it (unless its somthing ridiculous like giving to 1 member so we have a LS relic or selling them for a discount).

Some arguments we have had (for retaining policy) in the past have been:
- People who come having a small chance at a big jackpot
- People not wanting to "support" certain upgraders (ie they dont like to see people they have a problem with getting the 100pcs even if they pay for it)
- What to do with the excess gil (this isnt an issue anymore since 100pcs go for less than 1M but was a bigger issue back when you could get 3-4M+ for a 100pc)

As far as pushing for change, the arguments have usually been the following
- The same people getting 100pcs over and over (while this could be argued to be due to those people having high attendence it is somewhat true that 100pcs seem to favor certain members alot)
- New members getting 100pcs within their first 2-3 runs (again it seems to happen alot)

Personally I would be fine with either what DR suggested (ie sell currency for market price to upgraders in shell or bazaar on a mule) although the bookkepping/price upkeep could become a pain OR lot the currency and give to (via /random) members who attend full ZM runs (as a way of rewarding people who stay the full length instead of taking off since any attempts at giving them more pts have always been met with opposistion).

I think the market appears to support an LS treasury funded by the sale of 100s more than ever. Lower attendance(higher entry fees), common to summer months, combined with lower value on Dynamis currency, makes it an attractive option for members. If the hourglasses don't completely soak up such a treasury, in the past I thought having some kind of consumables mule would be in order to provide free food, tools, pins, etc for people attending the runs. Any leftovers should be returned to the mule(s) after each run and those materials would also be funded by the treasury.

Lastly, to make the membership feel more at ease (although they should trust their SH) these 100s (for selling) and the treasury should be dispersed amongst all the SH. This way no matter which SHs are in attendance, you don't run into the "oh the one with all the money can't come tonight" predicament.

Not that I mind carrying gil for the LS. Most of the time however, I'm carrying around 3-4 mil on avg on my chars unless some midget robs me. I won't have a problem dispersing any gil to any person or buy an hourglass at any given time. So don't bother dispersing me any gil. If I have to spend my gil, I trust you guys enough to be reimbursed and even if I don't its not like I care about gil much at this point anyway lol.
