Want my hot take?

Remove /rpp.

Don't change the timers.
Don't add an arbitrary 'You get X rpp for a day' because that will just mean people will stop trying once they reach their checks.
Or they'll turn from decent RP to shitpost rp.

Just remove /RPP.

Can't check /rpp if /rpp don't exist.
Removing /rpp will stop players from constantly just grinding to ensure they got their next check and then /afk or just start shitpost tier RPs instead of actually trying.

Any of the above decisions will change
Quite literally
Absolutely nothing in its approach to people's mindset on "How 2 beat teh systemz 4 teh mass checkz"
People will still grind out their checks, overgrind their AP, and afk or stop putting effort into their posts.

Getting worked up over checks wasn't an issue in old eternia. So why improve something that didn't need improvement.

Edit:

And trust me when I say that IS the mindset. I've played this system since spires and esshar. I know people who will formulate the best methods of RPL grinding who need the /rpp command just so they can time everything to a T, and even I've done it.

If I may be perfectly honest. A part of me wonders if /rpp is actually the root of all evil for me, personally. Because I performed the command on the hour, every hour. It stopped being a game for me and became a second job and after I hit qualified? Then, then I'd feel like I was perfectly fine to do whatever I felt like.

The grind can affect people who cannot change their mindset from the good old MMO day in day out gotta make that good $$$ y'all brain style.
And it has affected me.

I used to think /RPP was a boon.

Now... Now I think it is a curse.

Bring me to the days where I was blissfully ignorant, where I could just RP without checking my literal 'Roleplaying Watch' like some sort of addicted crackhead jonsing for a fix.

Edit #2:

If you change the timer to 3 hours I'll just check every 3 hours.
