Btw, 1.5mil a month?! omg that is crappy. A merc shell on carby used to pull in 3mil a week per member. Think 200 mil a month was their income usually. So what 5 months for 1 billion.

didn't see this is all dynamis. Wow that's alot for dynamis seriously

Yeah, we only do Dynamis, no other events. And I'm sure if we spammed Sandy or Windy to the point of wanting to stab our eyes out, we'd be able to pull in a lot more gil than we do. But who wants to do Windy like, ever? CoP zones aren't as profitable, but some of the items are still worthwhile and it does break up the monotony.
I've had the pleasure of running with the shell for almost 5 years now, and I've seen a lot of wonderful things along the way. We don't build relics with the currency, but we've had several members build their own relics personally (one of our sacks just finished his Spharai). As someone mentioned, the profit-sharing isn't for everyone, but it's something we've been able to keep doing successfully for quite some time now.
For those of you who spoke kindly, your words are greatly appreciated. For those of you who took the time to read, but only to troll, that's alright too. It's public, and we expected it. Regardless of which group you fell in, I hope you continue to bring in gil (if you so desire), and spend it as you see fit. :)

It could be more, but we prefer to do CoP and Tav regularly, rather than just spamming cities/northlands.
The only point of dynamis is northlands and cop, the rest is a waste of time as you just explained.

Oh it is great sharing profit, but was just pointing how is not possible even with 1.5m/month to get a relic, except if you plan work on this for (240m/1.5m) 160 month, 13yr long.
All depend on point of view and the goal of the LS. For member is for sure the best LS, but imo the reason of dynamis isnt to pull profit out of it but is to complete relic gear/weapon.
By time everyone in your ls is happy, i guess is all good :)

I didn't realize it was posted that the 1.5mil a month payouts he's doing for members was intended for them to get a relics. Must have missed that somewhere...
Ope guess not...

And I figured he wouldn't appreciate one member of the family bashing another, even though we parted ways (amicably) some time ago. And lol @ you if you think I'm mad. Carry on with your trolling - I just hope you show your leader more respect that you do the rest of us.
Also, it seems a lot of people here are sarcasm-challened. There's a surprise.

Was looking through some of the old threads here, people talking about payouts, currency sales, how to make it work, etc., and thought I'd post an update.
I run Screwdriver on Unicorn. We were one of the earliest linkshells to abandon the sponsorship model for payouts, back when "leader takes all" was the norm. We sell all currency at fair market prices, and do not offer discounts (not even to members). We pay out all profits monthly in equal shares to members based on attendance. All of our financial accounting, including currency sales, expenses, merc fees, and payout shares, is viewable by any member at any time.
We do a pretty even mix of city, northlands, CoP, and Tav, to keep things at least a little bit interesting. At our peak membership before the level cap went up, we had the manpower to full clear ("double clear", in some shells' terminology) a city while doing a concurrent Tav run.
For a good part of our history, Monday nights (we are a Monday/Thursday shell) were quite crowded. At one point, we had 8 shells running on monday, all of whom scheduled cooperatively (we used simple forums rather than a calendar site). A few douchebags stopped scheduling and started going when/wherever they pleased, but now, we are the sole remaining shell that runs regularly. We still coordinate with other groups when asked.
Our monthly payouts are usually in the 1.5M gil ballpark for a member with full attendance. It could be more, but we prefer to do CoP and Tav regularly, rather than just spamming cities/northlands.
Anyhow, my shell is still going strong, and last night, we paid out our one billionth gil. The payout system works.
