I agree to Zimbo that the cut of rewards is frustrating. Get real: Dappers, Fame, that is bit a byproduct, and would hardly motivate many to donate a single occupation product as that may more fast and easily be achieved by bandit bashing. Nation points are what makes these donations attractive.
In my opinion, it is fully ok to limit the number of products to be donated by toon. I can also understand that the reward is growing by nation fame.
Right now, the situation, as I know it is:
Up to 25 fame and probably more: Zero points
45 to 50 fame (maybe starting earlier): 50 points
above 51 fame (achievable thru bug): 80 points
Probably more for citizens with more than 50, 60 whatever fame.
I think this cut is far too radical and will demotivate many and seduce others to setup special toons for leeching. That way you will disrupt fair and balanced gameplay.
To get a perspective, I would like to compare with touring the camps runs in the old world. There, a neutral or not adverse civ (civ points above +10) could achieve 2200 civ points per nation every 8 hrs. A citizen could achieve 5600 civ points for her nation proper.
Normally, few took pains to do more than one run or two per day.
Now, let us see. A neutral needs fame 45 (not 10) to get 50 points per occupation product, meaning 900 points for a full day's (ok 20hrs) yield at 100% recipe. There are at most 3 occs to be done a day (ok 3.5 with a lot of effort).
That means the old maximum for a neutral was 4 nations * 3 times a day * 2200 points = 26,400 points. For a citizen, it was 3*5600 and 2 nations * 3*2200 = 30,000 points.
Now it is, if only limited by occupation products, 2,700 points a day. That is devastating.
(And it remains devastating when taking in account that a grade 6 player may theoretically harvest 6 cert sets a day and produce 6*18 products of grade 1-6. It would take nearly the whole day to do that).
