Change To The Work System
•
by NeilP99
One of the new elements we have seen in V1 is the introduction of trivia games. These games are played whenever a citizen works or trains for the army. They impact how productive a worker is for their company and how much strength is gained from training. I think the work trivia game needs to be change.
Right now the only thing that playing the trivia game and getting the answers right accomplishes is to increase the amount of goods produced for the company. This system, while more fun then the old work system in beta, is cheating the worker. When a worker scores highly on their trivia game the company benefits. However, this isn't translated into a benefit for the worker. They see no increase in their salary for doing well. Therefore, there is no incentive to actually play the game. As far as the worker's own personal interests are concerned, it makes no difference whether you play the game or not. I think that should change.
I think that the admins should add an element to the worker game. Make it more like the army training game. I think that when you score well on the game not only should the company get more production from your effort, but you should also see a larger increase in your skill. Just like in the army training game, you would start with a base increase for your day at work, and then that base would be multiplied by whatever percentage you earn through answering questions correctly. Setting up the work system like this would ensure that both workers and employers had an interest in getting the questions right since they would both benefit. It would also make it easier for workers to progress on to the higher paying jobs, which would let companies charge more for lower quality goods since people would be earning more more quickly. A change like this would not only make the game more fair, but over time could help reinvigorate economies. It's the right thing to do and I hope that the admins will do it. Let me know what you think, any particularly inspired comments will get a gift from me.

Good idea.
I think they should make your skill increase more if you get more questions right
@ Vladislaus Dragula they do increase the skill in question the more questions you get right.
Ok well in that case, I think nothing should be changed. The workers do get something out of it.
They do not.
yeh they do, if train and you get some questions right then you get a percentage of the default training added to the training, so if your default training was 2.00 and you managed to get 40% bonus then it comes to 2.8 skill increase.
@sukoidha: But that's just for the army, I'm saying that I think they need to do that for your job too. I think the way it's set up for the army is great and should also be appied to your job skills.
Good idea. It would also be nice if GM's could see individual employee production stats in the form of a notification. This would allow GM's to reward better producers as well as help in tracking inventory.
@Korbin King: Yeah, that was another idea I had for this problem. I just thought that it would be too hard for GMs to keep track of so a lot of them just wouldn't do it.
@Neil....

it also happens with your job...
@Jordan: When you're at work the amount of material you produce for your company gets a bonus, not the amount of skill you gain for having worked. Next time you work look closely at the information after the questions.
