**+1** I strongly agree with everything that was stated!
**A brief beck ground about me:**
I've been playing in ECRP for past 2 years and half. I've been a gang leader, a member of a small gang, and individual criminal who used to hang out with different gangs(SC, La Fam ... ), and also part of 3 official gangs: The Irish, The Rooks and Triads. I should say right now the only reason I even log in is the people who I care about as friends (IC, OOC) and not because of good game play or RP opportunities because they are non existent for me at this stage of ECRP.
**Criminal Faction Member Cap:**
I think 40 member Cap was ideal for 2 years or even 1 year and half ago! Mainly because the average players online in ECRP used to be 100! But understanding that currently we are averaging 600 players online, 60 is very reasonable number for a gang to cover all time zones. And to be completely honest, if it gets to the point where I have to get kicked from F4 menu because of the cap, I DO NOT CARE. I will not drop my color nor ICly I would stop hanging out with my gang members and help them. To even begins with I never joined an Official faction because they have F4 menu or LapTop! I joined because they have high quality RP and I enjoy playing with the members. So really I don't think this 40 cap would effect the current balance other than too much ooc involvement which ruins RP. I don't even see how it would help small gangs ...!
**Scripts**
ChopShop are completely dead because of several reasons: 1- cars despawn after a while when the player log out (for server load reasons). 2- If you even find any cars it doesn't pay enough to worth the risk because cops are constantly camping the chopshops. 3- it's not interactive! you just go there, type /chopshop and wait 8mints.
Drugs are good and bad, The good is the fact that it has a long process of getting the tables, mats and the risk of it explode. The bad is the fact that you just go to a sell point and hit drop. Where is RP opportunity in that? There is absolutely no reason to do Drug deals in streets. There is no use for them nor are there any economic benefits rather than selling them in drop off points.
Gun Trafficking and Turfs been covered by @CallumMontie.
**About Monopoly**
This should not even be discussed in forums. It's a very simple subject, you spend enough time on something you get very good at it. A lot of people are talking about how The Council is unfair. Well just so you know the council worked very very hard to get there. They spent years toward their goal. I bet you if there are 2 3 more gangs who actually put that much effort and oocy dedication and time, they will get there too. No one wants to do that though. A good example is people who don't work hard enough so they don't have enough money, and all they do is complain and hate the rich because they worked so much more. It is what it is. How is it fair for Council to have the same amount of power than the people who only dedicated less than a year in ECRP criminal life?
**Rules**
It really feels like people on top are implementing vague rules with Good intentions without looking at what the actual result of that rule is in RP after 2 weeks of implementation. For example the robbery rules, it can be a very positive rule if they polish it! Though currently it's just a huge NCZ for players to abuse. There are many more rules like this.
At the end I would like to thank every member of this community who truly cares and staffs, developers for working hard and hearing us.
