I would like to thank everyone for their comments.
First, I would like to say, My thoughts agree strongly with comments made by Bitty, Suboxide, Dinorath, Neela, Beepe, and Gaskets and maybe a couple otheres for reasons they allready stated.
Like i said from the beginning, doing the same missions over and over again for dappers is like a job. Is this really a fun game to you now? Go get a job then in RL and enjoy the fun and making real money. Spend it on a boat or something, lol. Enjoy the outdoors in RL. It has changed the game play, and i find it less enjoyable. I come here to escape RL.
As for Suboxides comments, i agree. If you dont, then what if they changed the game play to pay the Crafters pennies, while paying the hunters BIG dappers? Would you like it better? I thought so. So make the missions for crafters suck and make missions for big dappers only for hunters. Still, in my opinion, the game play would be lousy. I'm not saying the old way was better, it needed fixing, but why does everyone think a good, fun game should have an economy in the first place? There is plenty of FUN games out there that dont have economies at all! There has to be a better way.
I was hoping that Tribal missions would reward us in some other way, such as Knowledge of the Goo, or some new Technology, or a new attribute like the rites give, or something like that. I enjoy the rites, ( Not toiling for money), But that is a different thread.
As for paying 'Rent' or 'Taxes', I allready pay for this game in real dollars! I am subscribed, and for what, to play a game that makes you work to make money to be payed dappers?? Taxed twice? I dont think so, that's why i say it is like a job, and less enjoyable. So maybe i will have to go find a different game.
As for having others craft for me, No thank you, if that is the case, then why dont you just do the crafting yourself and give the money to people that need it? (Isnt that the gift economy all over again?) (Btw, others have crafted for me as i have progressed, and i was very appreciative of it, but i always intended on paying them back any way that i can) To me, when others craft for others, it wasn't for free, Guild leaders, HO's and Crafters always expected you to repay the guild some day when you can craft at a higher lvl. The goal was to make the GUILD stronger and better than the others. At least that was always the way i viewed the game. It encouraged loyalty, and for that, i am loyal to those that helped me along the way.
Finally, this 'new economy' is contrary to the game play i like to do. I like to Dig one day, Craft the next, Trek the next, do Occs the next, lvl some skill the next, Chat the next day (Stable sit), Do marauder ncp hunts the next, do boss hunts the next, play my alts in Silan the next day, meet new people the next, rez newbies the next, train my dogs the next (lol), do OP battles the next, explore Atys the next day, Mess with people in Uni chat the next, Gads! shall i go on? But now everything i do revolves around Dapper missions, basically doing only one thing. sorry but i think it stinks.
