And Serpe also lost the money he spent on the extra trainings, got a 10 game suspension and a 15 TPE bonus fine. Only thing they could've added there was fire him from his job or take his first born.

Take away those 3 outliers and I’m sure 7M is pretty close to the average season of pay for the average updater. Yes I’m aware Serpe lost the money for his trainings, which is why I added the “(officially)” in my prior post. Just don’t like the view of the official HO fine being larger for the updater than the guy who actually caused this whole thing

Take away those outliers, and the pay might've been evenly distributed.

If we don't want to raise fines (like, for instance the GM fines of a couple mil to people with 80M bankaccounts) based on bankaccount / income then we shouldn't lower other fines based on those same factors either.
And if missing it once constitutes a 1M fine, I'm perfectly fine with raising the fine for each subsequent mistake a little so the total fine comes out higher.

I don't really like the idea of the fine for the updater being higher than for the guy who caused it either. But we can't really go back and raise that earlier fine now, can we?
Also, I don't think you should look at the fine on its own, but to the punishment as a whole. And the other elements of Serpe's punishment were a lot harsher than 'just' a fine.
