@feelmyring, Abandoning MC futures as well as adding a new type of Future would be a "fix" to the site imo, but I guess we differ on opinions about what is a fix and whats not.
If people are so negative towards MC Futures because of the huge risk and the tiny payout then my suggestion is not ludicrous at all. It makes sense. If you bid 10,000 shares on a MC Future at a score of 80 and it gets an 85, you're risking 800,000 for a gain of 50,000, and that would be a very very good outcome for a MC Future. Gaining 100,000 from that 800,000 investment would make it more worthwhile to bid on MC Futures while not inflating the gains that much at all given the risk. Likewise instead of losing 50,000 you'd only lost 25,000. If this is so completely ludicrous to you then what if it was 25% extra on gains/25% less on losses?
Would you like to share some examples where people suggested a fix to something on the SE where the aim was for players to get money thrown to them? I don't recall anything of the sort except for the 1 time Kultofcows dealt with those 3 canceled games, and he was asking us for a fix that we thought should be made. Other than that there have tons of things people on the SE have suggested as fixes that had nothing to do with money at all, sometimes we see suggestions and them implemented many times during 1 week.
