So, with the new breeding system now "everyone is broke", and the only way to earn so $$$ is either mindlessly Pay Day, and let's face it, it's a boring and unrewarding system, selling shinies for money, but not anyone can do that, selling comps, but today you'll probably spend more to make one than what you are gonna get by selling it, and some others not really exicinting ways like Alt Run or Ev Training Services.
Now, what we need, is a new way of making money, possibly not boring as hell, accessible to everyone, and not totally broken.
What i'm gonna suggest are Daily Tasks. What are Daily Tasks. As the name suggest are a bunch ( like 3 ) of Tasks, that the player can complete in a day, before they get "refreshed" the next day. These Daily Task will award the player with a certain sum of money. After the player completes all the Daily Task of the day, it'll get a bonus for doing so.
Now, what kind of Daily Task are we talking about?
In my opinion they shouldn't be too hard or too grindy, but still, not something that can be done in a minute or 2.
Something like -Defeating XXX Number of Water Pokemon- or -Defeating XXX Number of Pokemon only with YYY Move-
This can be extended with some fantasy ( thing that i lack, so up for suggestions ) to things like -Steal XXX Number of YYY iteam from wild pokemons-
Another kind of Task, would be -Winning XXX number of Matchmaking Battles- but to do that we will need a Matchmaking System, since the one we have, is dead since a long time ( lots of player don't even know it exists ). This could be a nice way of trying revive it.
The Rewards.
They shouldn't be too high, don't expect Millions for doing them, but, on the other hand, they should give enough money to actually stimulate players to do them instead of Paydaying. 25-30K for Task looks ok to me, but whatever, it's just an example...
Plus, there could be some kind of Point System, and after completing a certain ammount of Tasks ( 6-12-18-.... ) the player will get some kind of reward, like Breeding Items, Vitamins Sets, Shards, Storyline TMs, PP Ups/Maxs etc etc....The more Task you complete, better the rewards become.
Now, this will provide some nice features to the game. First of all, it'll allow players to earn money in a less Mindlessly and boring way than Pay Day ( should be also more efficient ), it'll also give the players the possibility of doing something different depending on the tasks. Adding to that, some tasks could be done while also doing other activities, like EV Training or Farming Items.
As said, having a Task of winning some Matchmaking battles should provide so use in the dead system.
Lastly, it'll let players the possibility of getting some "non Farmable" items like Storylines TMs and PP Max, something that players actually need.
Now, how will players know what are the Daily Task of today?
There could be a Pop Up window where the Daily Tasks are shown to the players that appears every time you log in. Plus the player should be able to manually open the window from a button somewhere in the screen ( like the bar with Team, Bag etc ). The window should also show the progress made by the player in the task ( like 12/15 etc )
This is just a rough idea, it should be polished a lot to fit into PokeMMO, but it's always better than nothing
