You do understand that up until level 4, you receive $10,000 right? It is lazy for somebody to ask for all of these assets to be granted to them on a silver plate, without any efforts or contributions going towards them. Not only that, but the current system in place also eliminates the tumour which has plagued the roleplay community for the last decade or so, which is people automatically roleplaying rich. You should garner that influence, and power ICly.
Oh, and that does not include any work that you do on the side into the equation. Every single launch of any community is flawed, but to demand for them to stretch out those paychecks is a bit too much. The system that is currently in place is fine. Also afaik PD, SD, GOV, or FD receive more than $285 a paycheck too. (If they don't, they should).
Honestly, people should stop stressing about grinding, and should just roleplay. If you want to 24/7 the trucking job, go ahead. That is your time wasted. I have myself, only put a few hours into "grinding" and was automatically thrown off, hence forth it has been nothing but roleplay. Mind you, I'm paying $1,000 for a rented property weekly and I'm completely fine
