Up until yesterday(?) PF applications were in this forum and not LSPD forums, and the format was copied from the GTA 5 forums. The rules were also copied from the GTA V Section, with them the rule: (They were in this link, but now the forum has been hidden) Apparently, this rule contradicts the actual SAMP rule, and a friend was banned. Unfortunately I cannot find the actual rule the admin mentioned where you're not allowed sell/give guns (other than the new LSPD forum rules). Hope this saves some of you frustration/bans. Good luck!

The rule is only limiting the amount of players participating. It doesn't stop players from being constantly robbed. It's a zero-sum rule; The robbers get constraints that limit RP and add bureacuracy, and the victims still end up getting robbed. The only ones who might benefit from this rule are LEOs, who will have easier time shooting down robbers.

Your cynicism doesn't work here because it makes a lot of sense. People risk things of higher value for lesser things all the time. No need to be bitter because of normal human behavior.

Nobody actually does that anymore because $5,000 is a negligible amount in today's server economy. Robberies are pointless in terms of monetary gain, did anyone actually try to stop and think why would 4 people go to rob someone for $1,250 at best? It's more thrilling and risky. It's what makes the game fun for most people, whether you want to admit it or not. Rules that protect players from risks take away from the thrill of the game for everyone.

IMO sounds like just another convulted rule that limits RP and fun. Back in the day people used to wait in the fish selling point to rob you and no one complained. There's too much nuance to learn in the rules that it's nearly impossible to follow for the average player. IC matters should be dealt with IC.
