I still stay of the opinion that it should NOT be obvious you get your money back (and more) from the staff members.
if this was the case, everyone would just hire a level 10, because they know they will get the money they spend back (and more), that can't be the intention.
This is just the same as saying get rid of all the skills, and just make players like: PG level 1, or SG level 3 or PF level 2 and so on. The higher the level the better the player. This is realy boring. Everyone can easely calculate what is best, and won't have to take any chances when choosing.
It shouldn't be too obvious what is the best choice, this brings diversity, and fun to the game.
If we would like a calculable game, we'd go play sudoku.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
