I've cooked at labs solo or with another person most days and I can cook just as much if I was in a private lab. The difference is I have to bring better weaponry and risk more to be able to make as much money as I do which is how it should be. I see a lot of new players/solos chopping, cooking etc, making more money than they could before. The house robberies are heavily underrated due to the addition of the guns that can be found which I think people don't realise what guns are actually in houses. Since the private lab change there has been more interaction around the map, the server feels more full and actually have had an increase in players overall. The update to private labs was a huge step in the right direction for the criminal side of the server along with the buff to other criminal activities.
