Thread: Entertainer mission payouts have been substantially increased.
However, I also think part of the reason there isn't a great big HOORAY! from the community in general is that, frankly, no one's bothered touching those terminals except as a novelty device in about a year. Compound that with the fact that most "newbie" entertainers are actually second/third/fourth account characters, or new players who were dragged in by older, much more well off friends and are just being tipped within a week of starting up, I just don't think it's going to make much difference.
Again yes, it's great. It's just sort of a bit late, especially since I'm seeing the player base itself actually dwindling to a shadow of it's former glory.

Okay so you get 2 payouts for the same 10 minutes, at around 1200 a pop - so that's... 2400x6 per hour = around 14k (minus travel costs, if applicable). That's not great, but not horrible either. It's pretty good for a n00b, not so good for an advanced profession.
I think that any increase is good, but its possible to make 30k or more in that same hour, after travel expenses, with just Novice Artisan, on one of the "Milk Run" crafting mission routes.
Things I'd like to see, when the time comes to address these fully
-equal pay for equal time across all basic professions
-minimally engaging content (when we were discussing the Loot Revamp, I thought it would be great to entertain NPCs and have a shot on the loot table be a tip for a job well done, having an Entertainer mission generate NPC(s) and have them possibly tip you extra creds or items would be a good change over Go to X dance for Y minutes)
-Increased payouts for skill AND group size (how cool would it be to draw 5 players into a band, and hop from cantina to cantina getting say 10k each for 25minutes of playing?)
Don't get down about the response LeBob, it is a goodness to see changes, I'm just leery of a lot of these number tweaks being substituted for real content changes. If it is the groundwork for bigger and better, that is great, but I watch, and wait, and do not judge.
