How much AFz does a download cost?
From Faq.asianfanatics.net
The download system on AsianFanatics depends on AFz (points that are earned by doing forum stuff, read the other questions about AF's Little Corner for more info).
To see how much it'll cost you in downloading the files from AF, you will have to work out the ratio of your posts and downloads.
base_price = 1 AFz
max_price = 10 AFz
payment = round( total_downloads/total_posts ) * base
If the system needs to take it from the bank (when you have less zenys in hand), it'd be 10 times as expensive compared to cashpayments.
So...
Let's say someone has 50 posts and 140 downloads. An OK ratio. Not really a leecher.
He will pay:
140/50 =2.8 (rounded to 3)
3* base_prize 1 = 3 AFzs (cash) 5 AFzs (bank)
Someone with 50 downloads and 50 posts:
50/50=1
1*1 = 1 AFz (3AFzs(bank))
Someone with 140 posts and 50 downloads. Very good member.
50/140 = 0.4 rounded is 0 0* 1 = 0 AFz so that guy can download for free.
If someone is a superleecher. 1400 downloads 50 posts.
1400/50=28 28x1 = 28 afz. That is more than the max_price. So instead of 28, they pay the maximum price of 10 AFz.
Conclusion. If you're not a leecher, you won't have any problems at all. Everyone starts of with at least 20 AFzs anyway if they are to be promoted. If they keep on being active, they will never see the AFz-shortage.
If someone is a leecher, then no excuse will help, and they have to blame themselves.
In another shorter explanation, it's downloads/posts = your ratio
Maximum you have to pay = 10 AFz (eventhough if your ratio's more than that)
0.4 and below = Free downloading
Anything in between will be rounded up to the nearest point and that's the amount you gotta pay =)
