Since I've now had time to play with the new update, I'd like to address this.
The island is a complete warzone, 3/4 times I've been there, we've been in shootouts. Another time was a SD buzzard came and checked it out and we had to dip.
In my entirely honest opinion, private lab nerfs should be removed, and put back to the state they were in prior.
The massive plot for growing marijuana is more then enough inventive to send players there, as we can then collect it faster.
Don't get me wrong, it was a great idea, but poorly executed. I get the need for RP, but at the end of the day, all this island does is primarily start gang wars over drugs.
