I think that if the large gangs in the mega coalition of 180+ people actually wanted to help small gangs and stop killing off other gangs, they would support this cap. This is similar to monopolies in real-life, would it be realistic for a company to say hey we built this monopoly, why can't we keep it? Because it's not fair. This is a video game, and in this video game, there was a cap introduced to stop you from taking over the server, and then saying that there's no criminal RP.
A large part of why criminal RP is what it is, is cause of Zetas, Triads and now Aztecas. You all decided to be allies, have no enemies and now Hoxton doesn't want to log in. When the war with WCA was going, Hoxton was there every day. Now that you bullied every other gang away from the server, you're saying it's stale? The whole point of this is to create more gangs, and hopefully interesting RP, and yes /conflicts/ are part of that interesting RP, they might happen.
There's this whole narrative that was spewed by Jay and Montie on several occasions that the council is this big stabilizing force that stops conflict. I don't think anyone wants conflict to stop. Apart from the people at the top taxing everyone, of course. Conflict is good. If there's conflict, people log in, LSPD gets crime to stop, MD gets injured people to treat, the server works.
