This kind of contradicts your statement Wouldn't this mean less Ak's and people running around robbing people? You mean price gouging for the rich people that rob everyone on the server to even even richer? Or robbing the poor dude who spent 8 hours getting 40k so he could finally get an Ak?

He called the cops??

judging from the standards of the current current gangs vs number , this statement is a bit ironic

Why not let the server decide if they're worthy, if they drop below a certain threshold of members the faction would be disbanded? If they truly aren't able to hold down turfs and hold their own they will break up. If anything i think having Admin's control who gets the guns destroys the RP aspect of it. Small gangs in the real world deal guns all the time. To say a smaller gang wouldn't be able to deal in guns is ridiculous. The worst RP and rule breaking I've seen is from the approved factions. I really wish people would quit saying how they excel at rp that's why they're allowed to be factions. Wherever those guy's are that made this faction official in the first place I assume they quit because the people running around now under that umbrella aren't the RP savants they're projected to be. We all know it ... It's pretty obvious from the interactions I've had and I've seen countless others with the a large fraction of 'gang members' and how vile they are in game OOC just how they see the rest of the playerbase. Nothing more than a loot pinata that they continuously smash to get free shit in a videogame

You don't play that much as a civilian, sorry but you don't if the last time you were robbed is a month ago. Either that or you just spend the majority of your time in safe areas. I'm not getting robbed "putting myself in these situations" .. a small fraction of the time yes, but that's not the times im talking about here. I'm doing things like Truck Job, Mail Job (Insert every job here) , changing my clothes , getting my car from insurance, heading to the farm, getting robbed at farm.. And yes inevitably around criminal area's. The gangs roam all around the map hunting people with little to no resistance. Just driving around on the street in town three times this week ive had gang members ramming me saying to "Pull over or be shot" then proceed to unleash a hail of bullets onto my vehicle. Here's one example of many, literally from yesterday https://plays.tv/video/5ca0af82a7fd33387e/dashcam-footage-of-incident-03-31-2019?from=user You get the idea.. To say people just need to "play smarter" that are being robbed is pretty disingenuous and seems really out of touch with what some of us are going through. You said when you're "Off Duty" how do you not know how many robberies are happening?

The server is good it just needs the faction admin wall removed for gangs Perhaps make it where if you have 15-20 people in your gang you could immediately become a faction. You would think the people roleplaying hardcore gangbangers wouldn't have a problem with some actual competition instead of steamrolling everyone in their path trying to shoot back 10v1 pistol V AK

Wait you guys get armor as well as ak's ?? OH HELL NO

I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this from the gang members that enjoy this playstyle. Going around robbing everyone you see at gunpoint with Ak-47's spraying down people/vehicles is not roleplay. Chain robbing everyone you see for a fishing pole or their clothing with 10 people isn't roleplay. It's a bunch of people saying one line "hands up" and then taking everything from you.... They're basically just playing GTA Usually by people that can't roleplay whatsoever or if they can they don't even attempt doing it. (some of them do a good job tho) I get that it's fun to RP a criminal, hell i do it all the time but the extent that these big gangs are doing it is just cancer. I personally think the solution is opening up factions to people that can get enough numbers and not having to get admin approval to do so. This way people wouldn't feel like they have to join one of these official gangs to survive. Smaller gangs could have a fighting chance if they could get their hands on weapons to match their opponents. And the massive gangs wouldn't keep growing and growing and inevitably run people off the server. What can be done to fix this issue? I'm not really looking for bias opinions from people that are currently enjoying their comfy advantage. Looking more for the average person that gets robbed several times a day by the same gang and is never matched in firefights. Edit: I just found out they also have armor? What in the hell

This pretty much sums it up

Let me first say by saying i love certain aspects of the server and its truly unique..... BUT Gangs basically run around and terrorize the server with Ak's and the typical person can't do a goddamn thing about it. It's like groundhog day over n over farming my ass off just to be robbed. Police barely show up when called especially around certain times of the night/morning Good guns are locked behind gangs. Gangs are locked behind admins allowing them to become gangs This is why i believe the power dynamic is so screwed up. If myself and 3-5 other friends want to make a gang it shouldn't be something id have to apply for via forums , it should be something that just exists. I know i can buy the guns off people "if" i find someone willing to sell to me, but at what price increase? how do i know they aren't going to just steal more from me? Questions like these are what's keeping my wallet closed atm

How is it these "security cameras" can magically see through our masks and ticket us driving someone else vehicle then notify us directly to our phones? Pretty lame and unrealistic. Should really be changed to have a flag for wearing masks at the very least. License plates would be ideal. Just something to think of if you're really trying to make this server realistic whatsoever. Although I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about this.
