This is another one of those suggestions that I might support if there were realistic consequences for armed robbery, but as it stands people do it for fun sometimes, as it carries very little risk even if caught. With that in mind, I don't think allowing them to effectively neutralize a new business is a good plan.

You also don't make 100k every couple of hours mining in real life either. You make a lot more money in this game, therefore things are more expensive, but in relative terms, you would struggle buying the best houses in town in real life too unless you worked for years.

I would like to see the longer sentences implemented and their effect on crimes before we start working on lowering them again.

We do not need even more ways to pray on the dying civilian population right now. Until prison sentences are increased to match the rewards of stealing a 50k shipment, and better RP standard rules are set in place for middle of the day robberies, this is a big no. We don't want this to turn into hunting truckers, we already have enough people robbing civs buying clothes.

How much shorter can you make an hour sentence? Do we give felons 10 minutes in prison now? This should never be a thing before prison sentences go over 8 hours. big -1

What are you describing is already a thing in the form of stock. Dealership owners have to import cars, gas stations owners have to import fuel, etc. If they are inactive for a period of time, their store will run out, especially now when stocking a business requires a trucker, they are contributing to roleplay. It would make no sense for the owner of a gas station to be in-game or it's shut down. This feels like a knee-jerk reaction against people that have businesses as a new player, but I can assure you, they are not all owned by players that have been here for years.

I'd be in favor of it if the backdoor was set by an administrator and not the player. I've had experiences in servers which allowed players to set their own backdoor, and they set it in unrealistic places. (similar to how some people have been abusing /stashspot)

The robbing sprees are a symptom of low consequences for criminal behaviour. If they can rob ten people and then get caught, have a fun shootout, scramble their frequencies and then go do an hour in prison, then people will do it. Real life gangs don't do it, because armed robbery will earn you 8 to 15 years in prison, and shooting at cops will get you killed or in prison for life. There is no need to add more NCZs, but to increase consequences for crimes.

The problem with all of your free market capitalist utopia ideas is quality control. The leadership of all these businesses has been selected for IC and OOC reasons, because they are trusted to instill at least a measure of quality control, which arguably they have done successfully so far. In a perfect world everyone would be a great RPer, and they wouldn't become a mechanic just to steal cars, but this is not a perfect world, and it will get abused in NonRP ways. -1

If you want to sell a car without the risk of getting scammed, pay the high end fee. If you want to sell a house with the risk of getting scammed, pay the fee. There is no risk if you don't want to commit tax evasion, and if you do, it comes with risks. Not an OOC issue.

Looks very interesting. Looking forward to hearing you in-game when the update comes.

Because SAMP roleplaying communities had much harsher penalties for criminals. It would make no sense to gather that many people in such an involved roleplay over a 1 hour sentence. If prison times were increased to say, 24 hours, and major crimes such as shooting at police would result in life in prison, then sure, I could see the need for a court system, but right now, it so happens that when cops take their time to roleplay with people going to prison they will sometimes say something like /b this RP is longer than my sentence. That's just getting them to prison with no trial.

I still wholeheartedly disagree with your solution. If the problem was that people were committing murder too much, you wouldn't say, let's have some times when murder is allowed, this would reduce the amount of murder! It's not addressing the problem at all. Lifting server rules will not make a better server, it will make a worse server were people focused on gunplay too much avoid punishment. -1

-1 The server rules are there in place to guarantee a good roleplay environment. Pulling up to people wearing colors and shooting them down with no RP is the exact opposite of that. We already have convoys of vehicles of the same color chasing people in broad daylight. We do not need to suspend rules. I suggest perhaps looking into allowing people to force CK other people, given sufficient reason. That would be a good way to end a war that would be through roleplay and not 20 people KOSing people in broad daylight because "we at war".

This is a roleplaying server, commands should not replace what can easily be roleplayed. It's the reason commands such as /mug were removed. It was stated repeatedly that you trading without the risk of being scammed is a bad thing. Being scammed and being fearful of scams is part of roleplay.

There are no usable binoculars in GTA V. Only telescopes, and those are mounted.

This is still happening on the current patch.

The whole radio screen scratching thing is pretty memey. It's a digital device, the screen is just used to display the information in an easy manner, there are a number of ways of obtaining the frequency even if the radio's screen is scratched. Implementing it script-wise will do nothing, as there is no way to obtain the radio frequency from someone else's radio if they are dead, like your examples state. If they can't answer your /do about the screen being scratched, they can't tell you the radio frequency either. The way it should work is that if you pick up someone else's radio, you'll have a radio with their frequency, and then I might see the argument for scratching the screen so that /myfreq doesn't work, until then, it's rather pointless.

If we're talking about making an allowance for roleplay's sake, such as for passive roleplay and/or character development by stunting around parks and stuff, sure, I could see that. However if you want a carte blanche exception from the rules, where we will have Sanchez's stunt jumping away from cops or people chasing them with faster bikes, I'd rather not, as that will get very GTA Online, very quickly.

How would that work? Eventually everyone would do it and it would result in the same waiting time. I don't see what something extra would be either.

No one but LSPD can release vehicles because wanted criminals regularly attempt to have their vehicle released, and non-law enforcement would have no way of checking who's wanted or not. -1 If you want more officers to be available for the impound lot, perhaps consider supporting some suggestions that may decrease crime rates in the city, as if stores are getting robbed, or cops shot, that will obviously take priority over impound lot.

This is an in-character issue, and I would not like to see cars teleported away, unless there's so many of them it starts causing client crashes.

There is no way to delete characters, played or not. You can change your character's name once you are fully accepted.

Bleet was removed to give weazel a reason for being, and in part because of people abusing it. Replacing it something else will create the same problems as before, and require script changes. big -1
