I couldn't agree more.

I know Zen wants this game to be realistic, and at the moment, set against the $200 or so the top jobs give you, $15k might seem excessive. But if you look at it closer, $15k is pretty fair per day for a lv 20+, it's just the equivalent of 10 or so 20AP+ crimes. I can make $15k in a day already doing 12AP crimes.

The stat gains are insane too... the only stats worth anything are the work stats you gain, and work XP/rep only relate to improving your job, they've got no 'real' benefit that I know of (rep maybe, but no idea yet). The increases on end and int are so minor as to be unnoticed. And the battle stat gains may as well be not there, you get the equivalent of 2 or 3EP per day from the top jobs.

Ok, so jobs are free, it's an added bonus, but once you get past lv 3 or 4, the bonus from them is SO tiny that it's virtually worthless- $200 a day (I'm only getting $83 right now) is a tiny amount. Not only that, but interest rates in bank means you get 0.00027% per day- in other words, that means for every 3650 you have in bank, you get 1 back per day. If you were crazy enough to have 1mil in bank, you'd get a whole 274 per day. Too high interest WOULD ruin the economy, but I don't think 1% would be too high- if you had 1mil in bank, you'd only get 10k a day, it's not an earth shattering amount. With the top house costing 80mil or so, it's simply an impossible task as it stands- having a challenge is great, I love it, but there's a limit...
