Powerplay Help a noob powerplay leveling..

[Foxes]

I finally signed up to powerplay and having reviewed the profile pictures... yes the profile pictures.. I know, i know ... i went with the blue hair space khaleesi.

So I grinded up 1500 merits, thinking great... rank 4. The description said it would only be rewarded on the new cycle and i'd get a pay out of 5mil.
So I waited, This morning when I logged in to check my tally. I could see that i am rank 4, but no credits....

Khaleesi, why would you do this to your loyal follower. Was it not I, who plundered in Katurru last week, sticking it to the man Hudson and his smelly pointing finger... winter is coming and I need a python... the others must die..

Have you been working for your power as rating 4 for a week? No? Then why should you get the salary for being rating 4? You've only just reached rating 4 this cycle, and you'll get paid at the end of this cycle.

Basically, it'll come next Thursday and every week after if you maintain it.

Lets be fair, you earn Rank 4 the week you get the rank, not the week after. It does make sense that you get rewarded as soon as it gets tallied...rather than a week later.

Most jobs don't make you wait a week after your period of work in order to get a check; and in fact there are laws that prohibit businesses from delaying payment of their employees for that long; unless an agreement was made prior.

The way PP rewards players has been archaic since it was first released, and it's sad it hasn't been worked on at all in all these months.


Edit: Now if we are talking promotions, then that is something different, and not related to the work you do in PP for ranks. You have to work for a reward in PP, you don't just get a promotion to the next rank for time spent with them like a normal job. And with the decay system the way it is...it's definitely not a system where you just get promoted and then earn based on that.

Most jobs have you work a month in hand..and you get your salary at the end of the second month.....the good news, you get paid a month after you leave as well

No...no, most jobs certainly do not pay monthly. Most jobs pay weekly or every other week

I would hate to see an employer try to say "Okay, so we're starting you off tomorrow...and in 2 months you'll get your first paycheck. Ha.

Maybe you have some sort of "weird" job system in the country you live in, or a real terrible boss.
