maybe next version could be where all old old bugs are fixed and appearance is changed to be more like appearence changes in real life and edit linked parts will work and will be fixed so when you are in edit linked parts the primary prim dosent alll of a sudden make every thing phantom.. gee now that is a novel thought to fixed old bugs ones that have been here since version 1. and what is this about taking away incentive for newbie basics.. how that is insane. doesnt the lindens know that most people try sl as a basic first before becoming premium depending on that small stippens of 50 lindens to pay rent and exist in sl? and as an incentitive to play. gee what is wrong with you lindens linden dollars for the most part is play money most of us dont go out and exchange it back for real money we dont have enough we just invest it back into sl. i was telling my son in law he should be a basic and he gets a small stippens but now i will tell him not to join sl and i think all the residents should band together to keep the newbie basic stippens of 50 bucks alive. hound the lindens til they do it again and til they put the rating fee back down to a buck so we have incentive to meet others. i think there are too many LIndens to begin with so we have to support all the zilions of linens and all the basic newbies to be have to pay for it. i say cut from the top lindens!!!!!! not from the bottoms like real life works does

I meet 10s of people everyday, have not been rated by them and did not rate them, what does rating fee have to do with meeting?
Also the stipend has to go, you pay nothing now for basic account so using the SL server, and bandwidth, and paying nothing. So why would Linden's keep paying you? it is not like when a 1000 people played and that is it, we are in the 100,000s now.
If you want the allowance, and enjoy that game, then give Linden a little money, show them that you care beside playing for free. After all a premium account cost 9.95 a month, that is what, eating out once? So much for so little.
I am happy the rating cost went up, so now you do it if someone does something good, not just cause. And since nothing is being paid (not a 9.95 one time like before), makes sense to have no allownace. If you want that, pay the 9.95 montly fee (for 500 a week!)and don't go out to eat once in that month, then you are equal.

No if its for allowance ONLY then you purchase $L off market. You get more that way. A LOT more.
But the point in BASIC stipends is because a lot of basic members are the ones who PURCHASE the cotent of others. Content creators will have fewer customers because those customers no longer get the money to spend.
Increase money SINKS if not enough money leaves the economy.. dont kill the fountains.

From: Seronis Zagato Increase money SINKS if not enough money leaves the economy.. dont kill the fountains. I'm not exactly for what they've done, but have you seen the stats? 49,000,000 goes into the economy from stipends as it is. The entirety of sinks is 17,000,000 (I think, I'd have to check) and no one has yet suggested a way to increase sinks that someone else goes, "OH MY GAWD! You want me to pay for that?" or alternatively "pay more for that?"

If the ratings fee of 25L is too much, don't rate people. It's not compulsory you know. I didn't even know it existed for the first couple of months. And if you know where 50 lindens pays for your rent in full, tell me, and we can both be rich
