I never said that day jobs or boosting cars should pay more than running the Shadows.

I also never said that you should not pay enough for players to advance, or that they shouldn't make more money as they make a name for themselves.

Your typical Runner should make enough to make forward progress but still be needy enough to have to make some hard choices, and continue to run in the Shadows.

You have to strike a balance. That balance should leave them wanting more than they have, in general.

I know it's possible, but that's what quotes are for. It seemed like a general response and endorsement. Just wanted to provide counter-point for anyone forming their own opinions on the matter.

Was just posting counter-points to your unilateral statement, and seeming endorsement of conclusions above.
