The title is the question. 
Do you want the OH quota raised a little, or left alone?
The following is cross posted from thread Compadre started about raising the quota on the OH, but it was starting to get a little off-track from what we are trying to find out.
The only limitation I want put on the discussion in this thread is what the title asks about, raising the quota a little bit or leaving it alone. If you want to suggest any big changes please post those on Compadre's thread. We'll look at those too. What the managers have been talking about is possibly raising the quota enough to absorb the extra XP generated from building loyalty bonuses and raising loyalty, but trying not to actually raise the effort required for meeting quota from what we had to do when we joined.
------------------------------
Raising the quota for the OH is something we need to look at, with moderation. It's something we've been looking at and talking about among the managers for a while now, but there have been other more pressing matters to take care of.
The OH was created to provide a higher output, more challenging chain environment for those chain members in LD who wanted something more than what the FC offers. While I agree with Thorgrim's and DL's sentiment (assuming I'm "getting it" right) that we don't want to make the OH members live and breathe nothing but chain, Lagmatic made a very good observation when he said, "You're in a CHAIN. You're in the HIGH OUTPUT portion of the CHAIN."
I think the XP currently coming from the OH is pretty good, and very stable. Long-term, it will be hard to beat anywhere on the server. Overall, our loyalty bonus is continuing to build, and people are generally raising their loyalty skill, both of which make more XP automatically.
What we the managers have been talking about, and I'll toss it out here since this thread has been started, is raising the quota by 3 million per week. The jump from 12 million to 15 million will probably barely be noticeable, effort wise, because 3 extra million is something nearly everyone is already doing anyway but it will result in a noticeable increase in the amount received by the time it passes through a few people. The other thing to keep in mind on this is the reason nearly everyone is already exceeding quota by more than 3 million per week is BECAUSE of the increased loyalty bonus and loyalty skill. Raising the quota to 15 million probably represents a lesser effort than we all put out when we first joined the chain at a 12 million quota.

All feedback is appreciated. No feedback will be an assumed "do whatever, because it really doesn't matter to me either way."
