It's been awhile, so I dunno if this was changed, but could someone explain to me why the fuck you get/got a portion of your gold deposit back on contracts that SUCCEED, but lose it all on contracts that fail? That seems completely and utterly ass-backwards to me, as the extra gold should be an incentive for the mark. Which it is/was, just to a lesser extent.
Or does it have something to do with paying off the standing bounty on the Mark? In which case it seems like you should just not refund that bounty portion on failure, and keep it all on success.
Huh. Neat.
