I own one of the businesses that is outside of the city and I can assure you that my daily income ( 24 hours ) is lower than the amount I would make if I would spend 1 or 2 hours fishing. What would be the point of owning a business if in the end I would make less money than I would make while solely being on welfare? I spent over 40 days of playtime in the server, working my head off to eventually get a business to have my name on the map, I grew with the community, get to know a lot of people... And yeah, I don't have that much time to play anymore (I have roughly 1 hour a day of free time). Based on your logic, I would need to spend this 1 hour, logging on GTA, barely having time to invest in some good rp scenarios just to get a few hundred dollars out of my millions dollar worth business. I don't want to say your suggestion is stupid... But it doesn't make any sense.

Can't do anything on the server without litteraly being swarmed by 20 blue cars and bikes getting robbed for a knife and a fishing rod. I remember how bringing in official factions was supposed to fix the low quality of roleplay regarding the constant theft for no valuable reasons but now we're just being robbed by people wearing colors, no more different than before... Just that I can't even have a gun to defend myself now. Over that, after you get robbed, you have to build back. Spending your valued time grinding again...

"well this is roleplay", tell me about any city on earth that has over 80% of it's population that are criminals who fears of having the police called on them.

-1 Just don't act the way that leaves you with a criminal record if you don't want one. And for the first suggestion, criminals have way too much power already. -1

I would, out of my head try and install RageMP on the same drive as GTA.

Did this just happen recently or has it always been with Rage?

What's your computer specs? Including drives?

Rp will be as much as the community wants it to be... There's no physical limitation to any level of rp you want to entertain. What is needed to be done is stronger failRP rules. @DDevastatedTV I've been here for over a year and I've seen the decline. People back then used to hangout at places like MD and just talk and have fun even when the game was crashing every hour or so. Now people risk prison and a criminal record to get a radio and chop shop a Stanier. How is that not failRP?

It's not RP... or it's poor RP. Getting robbed for no reason is frustrating. They won't fear prison time, criminal records and heavy charges on their character, for what? A few K's?

@SkylineGT I'm on your side. My point to making friends was that back then you weren't scared to encounter someone else and start a conversation or at least be somewhere close to him for a while and have a peaceful time. Nowadays... when I'm not in my govt uniform and on duty, at the moment I see someone approaching me, I know for sure that I'm just about to get robbed and/or killed for no apparent reason besides for them to make a few Ks, risking jail time, criminal records and permit loss. How is that even considered rp?

Rp is as much as want to make out of it. Why would there need something else to be scripted for you to be part of it but robbing ( non scripted ) appears to be the only thing you can do besides a govt job? You have to be more creative than that.

I've been in this server for over a year and now, everytime I play I get robbed for no reason. ''Stop car or you die'' situations or ''Stop running or you die'' This influx of new players brought people with no sense of RP even if the quiz is so hard that some experienced roleplayers can't even get through.

It came down to the point where everytime I see someone else I'm scared as hell to be robbed... I miss the old days where you could actually socialize with people and make friends.

+1 The health of each turfs should go down over time. This would force actual gang members to actually spend time on their turfs, encouraging RP towards other gangs.

Every application have to be manually accepted.

Thank you very much guys!

I can't even describe how having people camping the chop shop feels to me. It's sad, lazy and a poor rp experience for everyone else trying to actually play a criminal.

We don't need people "buying in-game currency" to have a house or a business.

@TGBDalton You are one the guys that really cares about his vehicles and you are clearly not using for criminal stuff or anything of the sort. IMO, you are one of those rare players that do deserve a supercar. You are paying for those making an alt, dropping their 600k cars in there and start causing trouble and run away from the police. Or those buying a supercar for this exact same reason. ''If there's no supercars, what's the point of grinding money?'' Maybe not grinding it and actually RP with others, organise events and such. Again, I see some people complain about not having enough cash, but on the other hand, everyone wants a supercar and does eventually get one after hours and hours of grinding. We could have a maintenance cost applied on cars based off the distance they have been driven which could be a random amount between x and x based off the import price of said car. The more distance driven, the more chance the maintenace cost would happen. This could create a realistic used car market and up to a point, driving a car would cost too much money and it would need to be scraped removing cars from the game. I know this sounds painful to you and it sounds painful to me as well but that would be a realistic approach towards what the real costs of owning a supercar is. (I know this requires heavy coding but it is a potential solution).

We need things to do as criminal that would generate a revenue. Also balance the basic jobs so that not everyone does the exact same because it pays more. RP can be improve but yeah, for it to be, we need to have a way that would encourage us to interact between eachother. The RP level one will provide is a also driven by the level provided by the others. When I'm on my main I always see other mechanics fixing cars and such right on the spot, without any tools or at least making a trip to the shop to show they had to get something to do the work. The other person won't complain too much because it saves them time and time is money. Everyone wants the best cars and such and I won't hide that I've also been catched into this but this doesn't help the rp at all, being rammed by a guy in a 300k car is kinda upsetting. It went to a point where criminals only wants supercars to get an advantage over the others and this creates a vicious circle where everyone wants one and have to grind money for it. The lack of revenue on a criminal perspective has litteraly forced people to farm money on a govt job just to fund their alts, but hey, who would want to grind hours to actually be able to buy a gun, repair their cars, buy food, clothes and a house before getting into the criminal side of rp which is... what? robbing and shooting people, going against a gang that as already 10 times more ressources than you do? You rapidly get shut down and get down to shooting people for petty reasons and stealing cars just for the heck of it.
