Re: Reality check

You cannot use poker as a comparison because for every pirate making thousands an hour, there is someone losing an equal amount.

Exactly. Which means that if you increase pillage payouts, average poker wagers will increase proportionally. Nothing will have changed. The same is true for nearly everything else as well (with the exception ofbasic commodity prices due to dynamic spawn). The only way to make other things less financially rewarding compared to pillaging is to change people's willingness to lose at poker or SF in 5 minutes what took them 1 hour to earn on a pillage.
