Sorry if this will be a little offtopic but X'alor hit the spot. You are 100% correct.
So now that the attention of one of your most experienced dev's is on the Chinese market, when can I get my character transferred to it to;
a) Experience a more supported platform
b) Experience lower pings because I live in Australia-asia
c) Finally be not interrupted by downtime in the middle of the evening
Cheers

i had posted this idea previously but thought it might be useful to add it to this thread and maybe expand on it a little.
the main criticisms of lvl4 missions u see seem to be ;
- getting repeat missions
- difficulty of DS v non-DS
- getting long duration missions offered when u only have short playing time
- ability of players with low sps to make lots of cash by picking and choosing easy missions
- incentives to do missions in groups
- making missions challenging for groups without impacting the ability of the solo player.
i like to think my idea helps tackle all of those problems.
introduce the facility for agents to offer a package of missions. this package would include a mixture of missions, some DS, some non-DS maybe even some courier.
only one mission of the package could be accepted at one time and each mission would gain rewards for completion as now except no time bonus for individual missions, the reward element can be amended to reflect this.
there would be a good bonus for completing all missions in the group which would reward the solo player capable of doing all missions or the "lower" level group of players who couldn't do all the missions solo and would normally have rejected some.
at any time u could close the mission package and start a new one, doing this however would obviously forfeit the package bonus.
the challenge element and incentive to do the missions in a group would come from a new style time bonus, one that is awarded for completing the whole package of missions within a certain time. this time would start when the the first mission in the package is accepted and finish when last one completed. this would encourage people to plan their way through the series of missions to try and meet the package time bonus.
This looks interesting, but would it not be possible to get a lesser bonus reward for completing say 10 out of e.g 15 missions in the package? Rather than say its all 15 or nothing within the time limit? Just to reflect peoples available time?

i wouldn't be as keen on this as the whole point of the package bonus is to reward people who are prepared to do all the missions and have the skills, knowledge and setups to be able to do all the missions. or to reward the group who can organise themselves to beat the time bonus.
remember i have suggested that the current time bonus element is absorbed into the individual mission reward so the "casual" player or someone with limited time dont lose out by picking and choosing missions and not completing the whole package.

I like your idea of a package of missions with a special bonus if you complete them all within a limited amount of time, but why remove the actual time bonus from individual missions? it doesn't hurt anything
Just leave the individual time bonus on each mission and add a special package bonus that would have to be done in less time then all individual time bonus combined
So, lets say you have a package of 10 missions, all have a time bonus of 2 hours, but the package bonus would be something like 10 hours or 12 hours, so you would have to be efficient to get it solo but it would be easier to get if you are with friends
