So, playing as a CCA I've realized that the entirety of the Loyalist System is broken and needs to be revamped. I've also noticed that Business Permits are basically just handouts and are given just as readily as a CID. People get the permits, open up a stall and leave the server without returning. I'll explain more below, but first the Loyalty System:
CCAs do not have any ability to perform the tasks listed on The Loyalty System thread. Yes, CCAs have the ability to change people's Social Credits and also the amount of credits they get per ration, but that's the limit to our ability. As soon as a person reaches Supporter Grade 3, things start to get more difficult for CCAs to provide. I'll highlight what we can and cannot do below:
Red will signify what we can't do, Green will signify what we can do as CCAs and Yellow will signify what isn't really enforced.
Tier 3 - Supporter Grade 3 (Yellow)
This clearly shows there's a huge influx of things that either isn't enforced or things CCA simply cannot do. CCA has no guidelines for how many tokens per ration we give to loyalists once they move up a tier. CCA also has no idea how to give several of the benefits of the loyalist system that are listed above. This one system is the main thing that really drives players to play as a Civilian and CCA can't even help them. There are things that should be in place that shouldn't be an admin's job, which at this time, is the only way to do any of the things in red.
The Business System
Business licenses are also handed out willy nilly. It's very easy to get a business permit and for the right reason. The solution that staff or BoP has taken to try and stimulate the economy has been to give more people business licenses to ensure that at least someplace is opened for people to use as a vendor. This solution has failed miserably and now the city streets are just filled with empty stalls and stores. The entirety of the business system needs a revamp.
I personally suggest for the revamp of businesses to make it a minimum to hire three or more workers to ensure that these places stay open at all times on the server. This method has worked perfectly for The Alph, which is the only store that is consistently open at all hours of the server's popularity. After a store opens, a regulatory body should be in place to make sure these stores stay open, and if they're closed for too long, close up shop and give the business license to someone else. Business licenses shouldn't be handed out randomly because that'll 100% cause a problem in the future. They need to be strictly regulated and a roster of who has business licenses needs to be created.
To be honest, I'm basically calling for a revamp of CCA and how the Business system is managed. These fixes are fairly simple and I'll be more than happy to discuss these things further.
