Schizoid scribblings: Lootometer

My motto as a hunter has always been 'I don't do economy!'.

Basically I've always put fun first and never given much thought to decay or the most economical way of hunting.

OK, I know not everyone is like that nor can afford to be so cavalier with their peds.

And recently I've had a bit of a cash squeeze in real life coinciding with some dire hunting returns.

In fact the majority of people I've spoken to have complained about their recent loot.

So that got me thinking...wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of graphical 'Lootometer' feature on the EF homepage?

Hunters could post in their average hunt returns as a percentage, choosing from a range of maybe < 20% to 100%+ or whatever and the graphicial feature would represent an average of the posted hunting returns data.

The graphics could take the form of a small icon bar showing a spectrum of colours from dark blue (very bad loot) to dark red (very good loot) and it would be constantly updated as the data added was computed and averaged out.

Another way of displaying the data could be as a car speedometer or even as a weather symbol with a sun in blue sky with a rainbow indicating superb loots

One way to help prevent abuse of this feature would be to limit it to people with good reputations.

You'd only be allowed to make one data submission per day also.

There could be one for miners and crafters also of course.

I guess this could be a politically sensitive project though because if I saw from the Lootometer that today's loot was really bad then I might not even log in to EU.

All the same I really would like to see this Lootometer icon at the top right of the EF homepage every time I log in
