About Platinum rates

There have been lots of discussions recently by Platinum and in the group, about the payrate by Platinum, is it good / enough / satisfactory / rubbish ?

So to take the discussions a step ahead, I extracted the transactions that occured on my accounts during a camping session of about 6 hours. Here is the graph of what JaneLight and JohnLight did earn by Platinum, at the during the same period.


There are some lessons to learn from these data. First, the rate is by far not constant over time. The average over this period is about 1L$ / 11 minutes for JaneLight, and 1L$ / 14 minutes for JohnLight.

But if you look at the first hour, JaneLight received 15 L$, whereas JohnLight made only 5 L$. So the number of people present certainly have an influence, but it is by far not the only factor.

You can also see that when JohnLight is earning a lot, JaneLight is doing less, so the rate fluctuates individually.

Any comment welcome.
