Remove/up the limit on graphics submissions

Why does this always have to be graphics vs written media? Shouldn't we all want to make it fair and easy for everybody to earn fake money for their fake players?

If you want to play the game of numbers, I'll take my own situation as an example: I completed over 30 requests since the League started. I'm able to pay for my training and equipment was super cheap for S1. I had roughly 16M in my account at the beginning of this season. Now I spent freaking 12M on equipment and I have enough to pay for 4 other weeks of training. It's like if I had to do 30 requested articles to cover my expanses for the season. I also have a job as head on the forum which just makes this situation even more ridiculous. I think I make my part.

You can't just decide to add stuff that's more expansive and not give a fair chance to everybody to buy it. Do you want to make the League fun or a chore?

We can argue that articles bring more activity to the forum all day but graphics are a part of the NSFL too. You can also say that with the autograde, it's easier for people to cheat and submit total crap... yeah, it's true, but why should people who actually spend time on every sig they make be punished? Isn't that what the graders are for? Not give full pay to people who obviously spent 2 minutes on a sig? If someone is very good and can make something decent in 2 minutes, then good for them.

Just my 2 cents on this situation as a pretty active graphics maker on this forum.

I'll second this as a graphic maker too. There's ways to cheat any system, but I hate writing so it gives me an option.

At the same time, forcing a quality control route doesn't work. We are a simulation community with a graphics option, not the other way around. We don't have graphics battles, SOTW tournaments and tutorials at the ready, nor should we (maybe the first for kicks) because it doesn't make sense. I know I can game the system, but at the same time, I don't like putting in half-baked options, I'd rather put in something that I am proud of than nothing at all. I'm sure others are the same, by keeping the rates equal we give everyone a fair chance, and if they want to improve, there are guides out there, but it's not a graphics and we shouldn't function as one.
