All real ways of doing criminal activity privately were removed or heavily nerfed. Private labs completely gone and (not sure if this still exists) the last time I tried to private chop it was extremely loud resulting in regularly getting robbed for hundreds of k. This means everyone does crim activities in public, which is great for creating RP - however nearly 100% of this RP is PvP instead of before when someone would get x amount of toluene or other material from a gang, produce it, then hand the product back to them - this type of RP is practically extinct due to the PvP risk of cooking. I've only just come back to the server, so some of this knowledge may be outdated.

Cool - both require a LOT of time for something that can be robbed in a second and the second option requires a huge risk in capital - respectfully i've been here 4 years too, I do understand how things work, all I was referring to is how inflated prices are and due to this how unrealistically prominent robberies are

thanks for explaining how the server is broken then - you just proved that the best money making method is to have a pvp mentality

So 1-3 hours for something that can be taken from you in a few seconds. I'll repeat myself, spoken with true ignorance. 95% of the time I see you on this forum you're always opposing somebody else's opinion.

Spoken with true ignorance I see

exactly, the only RP with gathering plants now is either chain robbing people or going in and out of drug spots for max 30 seconds to gather their plants - RP for plants right now is either non existent or unhealthy/unrealistic. The planters could even only be placed outdoors maybe, meaning that you'd have to build an outhouse to grow instead - opening up the opportunity of risk like with chop shops

respectively, ive used the drug system for 4 years - you're also acting like the devs cant just simply add a prop limit to the amount of planters, or a heat system when over a certain amount like the old tables

and nothings stopping those people from selling a realistically legal item for 2x the price it costs them

if you were ONLY growing and not cooking, you'd make hardly anything - considerably less than any, even freelance, job

going to the complete other extreme of rolling around with shotguns to retrieve one of the lowest level drugs which is legal in a lot of places seems a whole lot worse for the server than this in my opinion

you're definitely safer growing in the middle of nowhere than risking the security of your property - growing 1 out of many ingredients required for a cook in a public location is by no means printing money

Level 4 plates are like 1/10th the price of most quality guns irl, im not quite sure why armour is so expensive nor am i sure why its an import - why should body armour be illegal?? Being able to legally carry something that causes damage but not legally being able to wear something that prevents damage is wild in my opinion.

20k per car is fair - you'd have to split that with somebody else to stop cops tracking the car, or risk the pd/sd raiding your house, loosing hundreds of thousands, and having to run/take a taxi all the way back to your car

should be reduced to 2 mins, 5 mins is absurd - you can cover the whole map in this time, basically no chance of getting away if theres a unit avialable. its a game of RNG
