For those that cant see or dont want to click the link. 4.0.1 patch notes contain:

"Fixed - Contracts rewards are giving full amount to every party members (STARC-147433)"

That shit actually encouraged group play! everyone gets the same pay and with rep locked missions now, it makes doing group play even WORSE because to do bounties with some of my org mates I have to do VLRTs which means we only get 5k at best with our group or less instead of 20k or so. And on top of that if friends want to play I cant do ERTs unless they are fine with no rep and no pay.

I was finally happy group play had a meaningful payout and was doing multicrew and now im discouraged from doing it.

They should just let that bug stay with rep lock, or fix the bug and remove the rep lock.

And to fully explain: Groups can only share missions that all of the players have rep for, so if some people can do HRTs, some can do ERTs, some can only do VLRTS, the group could only do the VLRTs as a group without splitting people up. So it worked out to everyones advantage and while we got full pay, you couldnt do ERTs with them until everyone had the rep AND permit. This is key since we cant just share ERTs with people who dont max BH rank anymore. This also applies to hauling and salvage missions too.

Please unfix this. This discourages group play with rep locks also hindering us. I was fine doing VLRTs with friends provided I got the full pay, now I am not. IT WAS SINGLEHANDEDLY THE BEST QOL CHANGE IN YEARS FOR MULTICREW AND REALLY ENCOURAGED IT! You have no group play missions at all even worth doing and this was a fine stopgap!

At least make ONLY pay split or scale it. And let everyone get full rep. It makes no sense for everyone to get X% of rep when a contractor company and everyone in it in real live splits the pay but gets ALL of the rep for the job completed. At least this way it makes it more bearable.
