From: Hank Ramos Sorry, didn't see your question. A developer is somebody that develops an object, a community, something beneficial to everyone. Even somebody that develops a kick-ass casino, or a sexy nightclub, or whatever. But, the top 16 out of 20 use camping chairs and similar schemes to game the dwell/traffic system to get to the top. Having people sit around doing nothing for hours on end is not "development".
Thus "Developer Incentives" does nothing of the sort. It just provides incentive to game the dwell/traffic system. It should be renamed "Dwell/Traffic Incentives" I agree. I don't think making money chairs is developing wonderful content for SL. Hell, I could just set some camping chairs in my yard and people can enjoy my landscaping, but I wouldn't consider that a viable Developer Incentive...

Please note that the list of recipients of the DI award includes ALOT of people who are never on the top 15 most popular list or use camping chairs.

From: Martin Magpie No no no its for the ppl who have the most dwell chairs now, and ppl who like being paid a lot less than min wage  Through the miracle of AutoIt and similar programs, and the use of as many alts as your system can run at one time, you might be able to earn a minimum wage income or more, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including while you sleep and work your regular job. Minimum wage is over 5.00 an hour now, so 5*24*365 = 43,800 a year. That's more than I make at my regular job.

I've never made any profit from the apartments, but new players do seem to really like them.
I couldn't find a free spot at the time when I was new to SL. Plus, I liked the TTor alliteration. LOLEX.  |

From: Tiger Crossing I've made from $75 at my best to $25 at the last. Most of the time, it was about $45. My tier has been $75 the whole time. Soon I hope to drop it to $15.
I've never made any profit from the apartments, but new players do seem to really like them. They certainly helped me get MY start in SL. I think I even threw a few L$ in the donation box a time or two. Hm. I'll have to drop by and donate when the new place is up, too.

Broad statement from a narrow opinion
12-12-2005 18:49
From: Hank Ramos It's not an incentive to "develop" anything, but a kickback for those that "work/abuse the dwell/traffic" system. I disagree with the broadness of your statement. I have maintained a position on the Developers Incentive list since October 2004. I have done so with a great deal of time, effort and work. Most recently and Haunted house for the month of October and currently a Sim wide Winter festival. Original textures and hours of building. Travis is correct though, this thread was started for a different reason. Im sure we can find one of the many threads bashing the efforts of others to express areselfs. |

I'm not being as broad as you think. There are a few, like yourself, who do provide content. But the majority on the list game the system. |
