Can we get a real accounting system in-game?

At least a better track of things. I just logged in today and am down about a thousand $L. No clue why.

I checked my 4 slot machines, none of them had any action while I was logged out. My details under account history show payments totalling $127, with about $250 coming in from product sales. I should be AHEAD about $123, but I'm out of 1,000. ????

I have no idea where the thousand went.

We need... Maybe a running total, where it's like a real checkbook register... Please please please... One that shows everything coming in AND going out on one page, with a running total column. Details! Details! Details!

Well today I logged in and I made about L$400, and there is absolutely no record of money coming in to my account.

I am writing down my balance every time when I log out now. I NEED BETTER ACCOUNTING so I can understand why my balance keeps changing!

As far as I know, the Lindens have a hidden secret system that randomly steals money from people. Without better accounting, there's now way to prove or disprove that.

I'm at the crucial stage where I'm going to decide if Second Life becomes a pasttime for me, or a true "Second Life." If I can't trust the money system in the game, they why would I, or anyone else, stick around?

I have not known the Account History to be missing information. Perhaps you have to mesh together information from the two tabs, Details and... damn I forget the other one.

One seems to be more specific, and one seems to be more of a summary. Neither seem to have all the transactions for the day in them.

Also, one tab holds information further back than the previous tab. Also, you need to note that you need to cycle back both tabs independently, just because you paged back to June 29 on one means the other one will still be on July 11.

If you want, contact me in-world, and I can try and help you interpret your Account History through screenshots or something.
