I wanted to go over XP Conversion again and see if I can explain it better.

The RC has 23 ranks. The higher your rank, the more you will earn. There are currently 1345 Recruits and 1 Sergeant First Class. When an asset sells for 500 Silver and is being 100% converted into XP (500), this is how it works.

Asset Owner: Gets 500XP
... (Skip the 15 highest ranks with nobody in them)

Sergeant First Class: Gets 250 Silver (50% of 500 spit between all members at this rank but there is only one person so he gets it all and he's the asset owner so he gets a really good deal here).

... (skip 6 ranks with nobody in them. If there were people here, they would get 50% of remaining and split among their peers (if any).)

Recruits: The last level gets the remaining which is then split by 1345 people (technically, only people who have logged in within 7 days are eligible so this number is more likely to be in the 300 range. If the result is less than each person getting 1 Silver, the remaining is lotteried off to some lucky individual. So in this case, one person is randomly getting picked for 250 silver.

So, in short, it only takes 250XP to move up into into Private. If your the only one there, you would have earned 125 Silver. Even if there are a couple of you, your going to earn far more.

Again, you earn Silver every time someone sells an asset which converts to XP. tsfreaks sells a few thousand Silver worth of assets every week. If you set your 1-2 assets to full XP and get to Private, you will earn far more than you could by just selling your 1-2 assets alone.

My recommendation is 100% conversion and lowering your asset price to achieve more sales (more XP). Whatever it takes to get out of Recruit!

Hope this helps. This is fun stuff.

Maybe buying assets should allow you to grow in rank as well. It might sound a little stupid. But the people who create the asset's are doing a job by making something and so they should get exp, but the people who buy the assets are doing a service to the whole system, because if no one was around to buy the assets, there would be no point in making assets in general. This would also benefit those who buy a lot of assets because with the division of silver amongst the ranks it would make buying other assets a little cheaper for those who have already bought a decent amount.
Tis an interesting idea. I'll give it some thought.
