Ty for all the votes, except its to early to tell i think. But once this finishes and i decide what to do, ill leave a post here.

I would say having the investment pay back in a year is fair.

/edit: That is with the time you have to put in excluded. If you spend additional 4 hours per day running the business, you should expect to get paid for that too.

As a plain player, nothing at all in return

Talking as a street trader I make about a 5% profit, i.e. buy small quantities of lyst for about 104-5 and sell for 109.
If I can make one sell a week, then thats a 20% a profit a month. Obviously the more profit you make the more ores you can buy after, i.e. more transactions
can't be bothered to work the compound out, but lets say 25% a month....

5-10% monthly is what I would like to get from business-like investments (Beautician, shop owner/trader, pilot, land owner) and what I voted. It'd keep my compulsive hunting at bay.
0-5% is what I'd like to get for borrowing money/stuff out - I can always sweat to get a few ped and some skills.

As for 'keeping up with the insane inflation' - I don't need to, the only markup I'm paying now is for Korss. I am happy with my armor (Although I won't say EW! if I ever loot or get a good price on any new parts or plates) - you'd be surprised what Shogun with A1/A2 plates can take on, doubly so when fellow socmates are kind enough to outdamage you and thus tank most of the stuff.

And for the fun factor of this low-game... How long has it been since you uber guys had 'HAAAAAAARGH YEAH'! feelings about emerging alive from a heap of three baby atroxes?

ty for all ur replies... this really helps with making my decision to suit more of the community

There is no such thing as "fair investment return" in if you are a hunter...lol

J/K, but with the way things are going now, its not gonna be a joke soon.

i dont quite get what your fishing for here? are you planning on starting a lending business/bank? or borrowing for yourself? or somthing else.

a fair return in this game is 0, noone looses that way. im happy to loose a bit (not 50+% per hunt though ) since this is a past time. if you are comparing with real life, genuine investments, 5% a year is a good bank rate, so thats reasonable return on any investment (and all rl investments will bench themselves against the prevailling interest rate). taking account costs of bring in money and repatriating it, you might want to be getting 10-12%. for something more speculative, 20% maybe? now if you mean to earn a rl living in EU then your return needs to be much higher but really depends on where you live. someone in India can live on a lot less than someeon in Germany.

so fair is relative and subjective.

I "invest" (NO I don't, I pay, to play) a set amount each month.
I expect to get nothing back, apart from more skill, and a lot of fun.
