Really, someone is willing to work for such "rates"?
Not really intended to TS, but I've been stumbling upon similar posts here and there and never seen any discussion.
So what, you people deal with it and consider it normal? It's like, cheaper than working at McDonalds, right? - twice as cheaper I guess. Or even less?

You pay for what you get- this person is looking to pay someone a minimal amount and they are going to get art that reflects that. I'm not sure who the 'you people' you are referring to are, but no one who say, has a day rate of $350 or charges $40/hour ect, is going to look at that and go 'well I guess I need to take this'.

Oh, I just meant that jobs like this often then get filled (by someone), so I was buffled by that.

@ ANTON_
Mate, this is free market policy, it is not likely going to change any time soon.
Polycount Admins often argue that such rates can be attractive for artists working in other countries.
If you are specialist in this field, I would recommend that you post what hour-rate this job requires.
This could help less experienced artists to put things in perspective so they can make themselves an educated opinion.
Best regards
