*Minimum Contracts: What to do?

[Roly]

I think its a culture thing like some guys have already said. When the culture is take minimum deals to help the team, people tend to do that. The real question is if everyone takes minimum contracts to help the team, where does the savings end up?

I think if you wanted to make money have more purpose, give it more outputs. For lack of other word, more bling and pizzazz that players can flaunt with money. The playing cards were a type of this extra, unnecessary, but "status-enhancing" output for money.

People spend their money on things that show their status. So make more outputs for the money that show status. This is in both life and gaming. People spend XP on the gold shoes, or spend real money on the fancy car. So build some status symbols guys can purchase. Or wait for the culture to change (like slm mentioned earlier).
