The quick 'n dirty redemption method of course would be a "Collect All" button on the Job Agency main page, but if that's intentionally not in the cards, then a same-page collection processing object would make for a "cleaner" process for users on that page.. Vending and buying from the Peka-Boo food trucks is a pretty quick and clean process with the same-page confirmations rather than switching to new pages just to have to page-back afterward to repeat, or in my case when it comes to the incomes I open-in-new-tab the crud outta the page and end up with a million loading browser tabs that my browser despises. xD

The Collect Income URL could be changed into a nifty little button that you click and it gets replaced with some kinda confirmation blurb about your income, like how the food truck's purchases happen; and if you revisit the main agency page again after doing that, the button can be replaced with another blurb about already having collected today, instead of that "Oh no!" error page they throw at you for clicking the collection URL again. Overall it should make for a less "hectic" process on the users AND possibly make it more mobile-friendly at the same time.

My personal experience with the current system is that while I like the higher incomes and random stat increases from collecting, the process is slow and inefficient no matter what I try, and the lower the income the lower the likelihood of bothering to collect, even on pets who could really use the potential stat increase. And with a potential Agency shakeup with new jobs and possible payout modifications, we could really use a more user-friendly Collect button to go with it.

yeah, there's a fair amount of days i just don't bother collecting my pets' income because i find it tedious; maybe that's the point, and making it "too easy" would defeat the purpose. but i think it would be a nice QoL adjustment. if not a single collect all button, then a button under each pet that collects their income without reloading the page; spin a lil loading wheel and the the button disappears, replaced with text confirming the amount earned (daily & total) and stats gained if applicable.

Yeah a collect all button would be great. It's not like it's that much sP most of the time. I don't bother with job stuff because I can make more sP in less time doing other stuff.

I support this. I'm often in a lot of pain with arthritis so I'd love a way of collecting pet income which requires fewer mouse clicks.

I'd be down for a GA perk where you collect all your pets' incomes at once.

Pro-tip: Create a bookmark folder on your computer that has the direct links to your income pages. Then you can right click to open them all at once.

For me, I only have 2 pets in the agency, so I use the Subeta right sidebar bookmarks to have them both listed. In the mornings, I just go down the line to get my dailies.

It is tedious though, especially if you have more than a handful with jobs.

I'd love either a GA perk, or just a general option to collect all income at once, but the job agency boss gets to keep 15-20% of the total income or something, as a way of balancing it out.

The job agency keeping a percentage of the income would penalize players with disabilities who would really benefit from being able to collect all income at once. Why should I lose sP because a collect all option would cause me less physical pain?

It's not meant as a penalty specifically for players with disabilities. I suggested the 15-20% cut to total income as a way to balance it out because the suggestion boils down to "push button, get money" which is something users have been disapproving of in the past (this isn't the first time this suggestion came up).

You're not going to be the only one pushing that "collect all income" button if it's made easier to push. On the contrary, making collecting income less tedious will motivate more users to use the job center, ending up with more sP influx. That's why I suggested that having it as a GA option would be good. And if it's added as a non-GA option, making 297k instead of 372k from collecting all the income at once (going off of the max of my suggested 20% for aproxx income for my 70 employed pets) really isn't that big of a cut, IMO. 🤷

[edit]Mathed wrong, fixed my numbers.

Just my personal thoughts about why a lot of users don't use the job center. (1) Some jobs cost a lot to train a pet for (training center and books) so it's more of a money sink than a way of making sP unless you need the stats and intelligence for a battle pet. Four of my pets took the Quentin career path. My demon hunter should start making a profit soon but it's not worth the bother of collecting the income for the tombstone cleaner, errand runner and tombstone creator. They've only got those jobs because the job titles suit their stories when I get round to writing their profile descriptions. (2) We're still waiting for new pet jobs. Maybe more people will use the job center if there's new job titles which will suit their pets.

If an income deduction is for non-GA collect all, that's OK. It wouldn't be much of a GA perk if we lost income using it. :)

yes please. and i also support the alternate idea given by frenchi as well.

THIS.

I have 25 pets currently, all of which have at least a very basic income.

I'd love a "collect all" button, even if it was only a GA feature.

Full support.

Thought I'd already added my support, must have been a similar idea/thread. Don't really care whether its a GA perk, sP penalty/cost to use it, or however its decided.

I use a browser addon to make it easier. I open all links at once, but its still tedious closing all the tabs and I only have 15 pets with jobs.

Adding on to this post at the suggestion of a few folks:

I know the requirements and such are being updated.... could it be possible to implement a sort of "raise/bonus" feature for pets that have been on the job for a consecutive length of time? Because certain pets of mine hold specific 'titles' at their jobs even though they are lower-paying tiers (for example, My Little Weirdling is a Doll Display Decorator at the Toy Box) since the title fits in with their character/personality. If a pet holds the same job for say, six months without quitting/getting promoted/etc, maybe a bonus could be applied? Or they could get a raise added to their daily income? That way those of us who consistently collect our pet income but don't want to have them promoted to top tiers can benefit too?

And YES: GA users need a "collect all" feature -- all income collected at once! It would be SUCH a time saver.

I agree with all this.

staff told me to "bump" this post and I got a warning for it, but here I am elaborating that I want to support this change so subeta/subeta staff dont continue to flag me
