General information and rules:Proposals which are independent of each other should not be made within the same topic.
I know thatBut the idea behind this proposal is that balancing all of the civilian jobs progress levels together and later on moving to the payment of them which is described in the proposal.Creating a topic for each job would be too much topics to do and I believe unnecessary.Civilian Progress Time Balance The idea I see behind Civilian Jobs is dividing the civilian jobs into 2 categories, which would be so called "Easy Jobs" and "Hard Jobs" where these 2 categories would be :A ) Easy Job : A job which progress levels pays less than same progress level hard jobs, the job is good for earning fast money if let's you only have 10 hours to play, since of the promotion bonuses you get. Easy job is a short term investment of your time to get the most money in a shortest period of time.B ) Hard Job : A job which progress levels pays more than the easy jobs progress levels, the job will be harder to level up, but each level will benefit you more cash. Hard job is a long term investment of your time to get the money, since the you are investing your time to receive less money in the beginning , but will pay off in a long term.Basically L10 Easy Job will pay less in 1 hour than a L10 Hard Job.Here is the statistical data of old civilian jobs progress levels, the time it takes to achieve a L10 , and my proposed civilian jobs progress levels and time it would take to achieve a L10.Show contentNew players will have a choice to play the job they like and will have to think where they want to invest their time, but the best choice for them will still remain playing as a Lumberjack, since I left the job how it is now0The idea behind why no job should take longer than 70 hours to achieve L10 is because investing 2 and a half hours daily into a civlian job for a month should be enough for players to achieve that achievement, even if the player does not have that much time to spend playing It, as some jobs currently are over 100 hours to achieve a L10, which is ridicilous. Also no jobs should be quicker than 30 hours to level up, since this is pretty achievable if you don't even have the time, and there will still remain as an achievement of becoming a L10 in a job.After this proposal a following proposal will be proposed which will include change payments of the jobs to balance them out and make easy jobs pay less than hard jobs in a long term.Here is my proposal of civilian jobs :Pilot :Show contentCurrently it takes around 23 hours to achieve a L10 pilot, when you average around 220 miles per hour. Proposal: My proposal would be so that it should take little bit longer, which is around 30 hours, and here is progress level changes I am proposing :Show contentL1 : 660L2 : 1320 L3 : 1980L4 : 2640L5 : 3300L6 : 3960 L7 : 4620L8 : 5280L9 : 5940L10 : 6600Bus Driver :Show contentCurrently it takes around 44 hours to achieve a L10 , when you average 180 stops per hour, when L9 is 4000 bus stops and L10 is 8000 stops, which is little bit too much.Proposal : My proposal would be so that it should take little bit less and the job should be classified as a easy job, the job should take around 30 hours to become a L10.

I have sent Brian all the calculations so the only scripting thats needed to be done is making people who already have the achievement, but they are not L10 anymore, wouldn't get money from completing achievement again.
