shit needs an ic social network site fast it should be one of the biggest priorities 4 the server rn ls is too big and ur rarely ever gonna happenstance ur way into rp. a social network site is a good way 2 get civi rpers ig and forming groups. it also lets gangs organically beef with one another as more feuds are created. businesses get created and advertised more too

no it wasnt an exaggeration. could it of been a one off? sure but it still definitely happened, and there are discord receipts of multiple people laughing at the ridiculous situation when it was going down. and why should a horrible police to criminal ratio be an IC thing lol we're pretty much under martial law at this point

ive legit seen 19 cruisers chasing a rental lol u guys gotta chill with that shit

idk past customizability which is rly lacking ur right in that there doesnt need 2 be too much script support. i think a lot of people are confusing a lack of things to do with a lack of script functionality

bcs people have the ability to separate IG wealth from OOC wealth lol. its way more authentic to roleplay having money issues then to actually have money issues scriptwise and be fucked the entire time. people are more than capable of rping poor or gang rp wouldnt be the primary medium for rp no we just prefer the freedom to portray our characters without an absurd time investment lol?? uve pointed out how much of a sick rper u are in every post uve made it has to be satire at this point. i dont wanna have to go thru a rigorous application or spend weeks accumulating wealth just to rp working in my dad's shitty chinese takeout its a pretty simple concept to understand and not everyone is a fresh off the boat poor person who has to earn and work their way through los santos. you're treating this shit like its gotham city lol let me rp a fashion mogul, let me quickly get a business so i can rp giving people food poisoning from chinese food, let me rp being a limo driver without spending 100k or whatever it is. people switch characters and try new things all the time and your way of doing things stunts creativity power in criminal enterprise should be earned through providing engaging rp. engaging rp that propels u into prominent positions because people want to be involved in ur dope rp. shouldnt be a competition on who read the most accounting books OOC

scarcity of wealth and assets might be realistic buts its anti roleplay and that's what people are complaining about. you shouldnt have to build up a character for years to roleplay middle class or rich, and not every character needs to start from scratch n have a miraculous zero to hero story. this very system promotes mmorpg behavior because youre normalizing everything to real life instead of just giving players tools to facilitate roleplay effectively id argue that mid to late samp lsrp was the best quality rp we ever had. yes bartenders got 10k an hour and strippers got 60, but at least there were an abundance of businesses and opportunities to grow your character instead of grinding for money (which is essentially just an OOC tool so u can setup prerequisites for basic rp) everything here is limited thru copious amounts of boilerplate and its tiring. by the time uve gone thru the applications to get something basic up and running uve lost all interest bcs theres a ridiculous amount of bureaucracy. bureaucracy that leads to inadvertent bias and favoritism. team leaders can claim this shit doesnt exist but the server launched with admins and testers being the primary owners of valuable businesses lol and yea world's economy sucks but in 2 days u can get the car u want, roleplay the character u want, and have a business up and running within a week. is it such an awful thing that you get to prioritise developing and roleplaying your character instead of worrying about rp assets? the shit is becoming tarkov where fun is lost at the expense of hyper realism. people wanted world without weirdo admins and awful illegal rp but the server doubled down on restricting roelplay under the guise of realism instead of tackling those core issues. the scripts are crazy nice, the admins are way better and everything is way more fluid but plz reverse the direction ur going (imo)

guns are already being resold for 6-10k lol

with all due respect you can't rely on factions to circulate the market either, as seen on the previous server, where deagles were being sold for 150k each because faction leaders kept valuable illegal assets within their circle. i don't see how adopting nearly the same system is beneficial (instead of faction tokens you're giving limited darknet access) it doesn't matter how many weapons you flood these factions with. they'll all be hoarded across a bunch of alts and friends because having access to 100 weapons is infinitely better than selling them off and holding 5. you can say you have measures in place to prevent hoarding, but let's be honest, you really don't. you can trickle weapons down through 20 different people and they still won't leave the network of the faction that created them its essentially the same thing as before, where you have to lick the shoes of mafiosos and crip members just to get a taste of illegal weapon rp. there is absolutely no reason to red tape darknet access unless you want to funnel artificial power to certain criminal groups open it up and let anyone apply apply based on the merit of their character

idk thats a pretty flawed approach to criticising ideas. "could be unfair" is based on an assumption that the idea is implemented wrong. its a small possibility, but what isnt a small possibility is that 3k a week would decimate the server's economy in a month having players just post an app for a car which cant be sold is much less damaging

always advocated for this. its a good system which doesnt hurt the economy granted that the assets cannot be sold theres this idea that 3-5 hours of focused trucking a week isnt a lot of work, but in reality it kind of is. the emphasis of this server should be creating fun and engaging scenes not locking people into forced maintenance of assets

there are apartments for $150 a week and cars for like $400. the weekly payment for both are fundable with what, two hours of trucking?? crazy how people are complaining when theres cars that are 10k and only need a 15% downpayment on lol. its extremely lenient u can kill time for like 7 hours or just truck for 2 hours n wait 3 more n be set

yeah i agree the financing system doesnt do its job just yet. i would suggest making down payments a lot cheaper, and extending the max finance time from 12 months to 16, or 24 months i think it would be fair to own a car after 24 months of financing on a 3-5% down payment. this would make vehicles financially accessible to way more people

i have 26 hours and most of them are spent trucking and ive only got 10k. like i said your money is way above the norm, even for grinders, so you've obviously found a niche method not many others are doing

then how did you make 17k lol? that's way above what most people have

agree with this. its definitely a quit point, especially if you strike out waste all your starting cash and cant afford to get your license. drop the fee to $50, and make it so you get 3 free tries whenever you pay the fee, not the first time
