Change Request 20/2009

Change Request: 

Increase Referral Commission

I propose we lobby the Admin to increase the reward from the referral commission from t$10 to t$100.

It is evidence that the current reward is not an incentive to increase immigration. It needs to be increased.

Administrator's Response:

The real value of a tollar can be debated, however, there is only one real measure today we can work with: Several citizens paid USD 0.01 for a tollar, therefore for those, the value of a tollar is definitely known.

This change request asks for the valuation of a "click" at USD 1.

This is way too much. It is possible today to purchase clicks e.g. with Google or facebook at much lower than USD 1. 

Therefore, a click simply isn't worth T$100. Valuating any commodity at a higher price than its real world value (whenever exists) would amount to inflating away the value of a tollar of those citizens who decided to pay real money for it.
