[edit: since I posted this, the blog has been corrected to indicate the base payout is the same as normal and the amount was intended to represent what would be normally be earned in a 3 week campaign.]
According to the dev blog, Fashion Report should be paying out 30k MGP for participating and 150k MGP for scoring at least 80 during the Make It Rain campaign.

I just went on an alt and scored 82 but only got 15k + 75k, or the 50% bonus. Also checked my MGP balance in case the chat didn't display the increase if awarded as a separate amount but it's only at 98k. I don't know if there is a bug that's preventing the increased payout mentioned in the blog or if the blog was incorrect but people might want to hold off getting judged until this is verified.

As I suspected. The blog post is misleading people. It's too good to be true. It's the total amount of MGP from 3 weeks of event without 50% bonus.
10.000 * 3 = 30k
50.000 * 3 = 150K
Congratulation. You have been bamboozled -
06-08-2018, 08:26 PMBillyKaplanBut that doesn't make sense. The post in question specifically said "during the campaign", but for the duration we are getting 50% increase, so we'll be making more than 30k and 150k...Quote:

Yea. If you tally the bonus from MGP Event it's more than the stated amount. I'm as disappointed as OP. I do read the post, do the report and bam, reality check :(

06-08-2018, 10:32 PMIllusivaThe post in question also stated right above it "Speaking of pockets overflowing, allow us to offer some tips on making MGP" but most missed that part when reading the blog and assumed the section was instead referring to increased rewards during the event. It's not, they were just advising on ways to get MGP and how much you can get from it during the event (pre-bonus). Obviously the way it was worded didn't help when people took it out of context.Quote:

The problem is the wording in the section is written by someone just begging to be misunderstood: "Typically, you can earn 10,000 MGP just for participating, and 50,000 MGP if you can score higher than 80 points! However, during the campaign, you'll be able to earn 30,000 MGP for participating and 150,000 MGP for scores over 80! Whoa!"
So, "typically" we can earn 10k/50k, "however, during the campaign" you'll be able to earn 30k/150k. They stated that the normal amount is X, "however" you'd be able to get 3X during the event. If they had just left out the "however" it would just read as "you get this much, and during the campaign that adds up to this much", but with the however it makes it sound as if there's some kind of special bonus going on. -
06-08-2018, 11:25 PMBillyKaplanThey explicitly mentioned the campaign. To leave out the +50% is just negligent. Either way you cut it, the amounts advertised are wrong.Quote:

Greetings,
The information stated on the blog was incorrect and has been corrected.
Since the Make It Rain Campaign period is a three weeks event, it was pointing out that even with the normal payouts, players will be able to earn from 30,000 to 180,000 MGP. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. -
06-09-2018, 01:43 AMBillyKaplanThat settles that. Thank you :DQuote:

No it doesn't answer the question. He doesn't tell what the bonus is from make it rain event. All he says it was a mistake how much you would get. Any other mmo would fixed it to what the blog said it be. If blog is from SE.

06-09-2018, 08:14 AMJojoyaYou don't seem to play a lot of MMOs if you think they always change things to match mistakes in announcements. They rarely do. They apologize for the mistake and move on.Quote:

Subtotal 60k MGP
Bonuses to MGP earned are additive not multiplicative so:
Campaign bonus increases payout by 50%.
Additional 5k for participation.
Additional 25k for scoring 80 or better.
Sounds like your FC has the Recreation II action available for an additional 10% bonus.
Additional 1k for participation.
Additional 5k for scoring 80 or better.
10k+50k+5k+25k+1k+5k=96k -
06-10-2018, 12:12 AMFrizzeIve played a half dozen MMOs over the years, and a couple of them might have changed the reward in game to match the erroneous blog post. Much easier to apologize and edit the text in a blog post then to: change the code for the special event so that only this one aspect gives triple bonus instead of 50%, write additional code so that the people who already cashed in their fashion report for the week can get the extra reward, test all of this to make sure it doesnt screw anything more important up, and bring the servers down for a hot fix to apply the changes.Quote:

From the moment it was anounced, one of the major new features promised was "new dances". It was even printed on the box. That was many years ago, and the game still does not have said feature.Quote:
