Here's 's explanation from the news post: [Quote]To everyone asking - this is one of those things that we brought over from Neopets without really thinking about it. Why do we put hundreds of millions of sP into the economy, handing it to people who've already got hundreds of millions +? It doesn't make any sense. In the real world interest is given so that banks can invest your money and make returns, none of that is happening here, we're just literally giving you sP for having sP, and it has no benefit for users who don't have tons of sP.
Would rather find other ways to give sP 😊.[/quote]
