    Makes no sense to limit IC relations, let alone IC recruitment compared to what it was set at as a standard for near on 2 years.

    Criminals are asking for less OOC intervention on IC matters, not more.

    Okay, so you are in favor of all players having access to the benefits of being an official criminal faction, I assume? Seeing as that is an OOC limitation on smaller gangs/criminals.   

  2. The problem is the truckers are unwittingly taking jobs they should never even consider taking.  If the jobs included estimated time for completion (including travel time) I doubt most people would even consider most of these trucker jobs at $1k per 20-40 minutes when you can easily make 2-3x just doing the other freelance jobs (that is unless they really like trucking or for RP purposes).  In order to make trucking job even useful there probably needs to be NPC shipments in addition to PC shipments and the NPC ones should be priced to be competitive (or just less than this so PC jobs can charge the "correct" amount) with other freelance jobs in hourly pay.

    This topic tends to come up a lot in suggestions, but I don't think it's really on the devs radar at all.  Unfortunately for new players they will continue to do this awful job without realizing how bad it is.

    A 20k price tag makes no sense at all. A blindfold would be more than boltcutters, which is way more effective and gains a player more money. A 20k pricetag is just very unrealistic i think. 

    The price tag is to reflect the OOC significance of the item not to emulate a realistic price. I think that was explained VERY clearly, so I am not sure why you are replying as you are.

    Looking at the images. You was on at a time zone where there are less officers. 

    That is like ~7-10 PM in the NA (depending on time zone) I would hardly call this an "off time", in fact, that is a prime time to play for a lot of NA players.  If cops cannot be bothered to show up during that time period that just reinforces the need for an automated version if anything.

  5. -1 unless they are both: 1 time use and have an extremely high price tag (like 20k+)

    There are probably some niche scenarios where they make sense, but in like 95% of scenarios on this server there is no need and being on the blindfolded side isn't going to be enjoyable at all.  The fact that people on the server cannot act maturely with haircuts and zip ties should be enough to not vote in favor of this which is clearly worse than those as the victim. 

    With that in mind, I think the extreme price tag would allow them to be used in those niche scenarios while not being abused in standard robberies just to be a dick.

  6. You can just RP with proper /me and /do, if they lie about a do then you can report for OOC scam and get refunded.  Assuming you get them to say the cash amount is correct in a do or that they have transferred the property in a /do then you should be pretty well covered.

    Such as having them count the cash on hand before exchange and confirming the amount in a /do.

    "Please count the cash for me."
    /me counts the cash

    /do how much cash is present?

    /do $x

    /me attempts to exchange the cash for the <item> at the same time.

    /do successful transaction?

    Note this utilizes the eclipse rules: Character Creation and Property, "Players may not scam or deceive other players out of character for their property." as well as Power Gaming "All statements in /DO must be factually true in the roleplay as it sets grounds for roleplay."

     

    The bigger injustice is nowhere in the rulebook does it say that scams are allowed in NCZs

    I know sometimes the wait can be a while but it’s never as much as people make out. I find it hard to believe that you was there for 2 hours.  A lot of time we get a call for the impound go there and no one is there so we leave. 

    Do you really find it hard to believe? I made a previous suggestion where I literally documented the time I was at the impound waiting (it was "only" 1 hour 33 minutes before I got bored and logged out for the night, but I have no doubts I could have waited an additional 27 minutes with no response).

  8. If they hunt you down for nonrp reasons just report them. The new rule does 100% apply to this scenario:

    Quote

    • Robberies are to be conducted in a realistic manner and require the robber to have a reasonable in character motive. High risk, but little reward robberies are deemed unrealistic and should not be performed. Robberies should be performed in secluded areas where there is a low chance to be seen by witnesses.

    Outfit / car color is not a reasonable motive.  Harassing someone about their colors is obviously extremely low reward as well.

    There has to be a certain element of risk involved, i'm sorry you lost your items but it's the nature of the beast. If you got a lot on you, you gotta take extra precautions. Can't just expect to have these handicaps to make the game safer for you, it's a roleplay server full of criminals. Someone has to be the victim.

    You're advocating people need to be held accountable for losing stuff as a result of rule breakers?  That makes 0 sense at all. (Did you respond to the wrong thread or am I really missing something here?)

    As for the suggestion $25k is an insane amount, especially when they go by base value of the items (e.g. your $10k .50 is probably $3-$4k towards your refund). 

    +1

  10. NPC shipping jobs with reasonable prices (e.g. ~6k per hour of work.. or whatever is deemed correct) would go a long way to fix the shipping problem.  There should also be a listing that shows the estimated time to complete (estimate driving time at 80 KM/H + loading/unload time) so people can calculate the pay per time period (maybe even show this calculation as $ hour).

    Server may potentially need to put some amount of money into each order to make PC stores competitive.

    Dont get cocky

    Not sure how that is "cocky". I don't think we need to use server resources to replicate EDC on the server when we have stages already. You can use Vanilla Unicorn, Bahama Mama, Tequilala, Vinewood Bowl and Sisyphus Theater (off the top of my head) for music venues already.

    yeah but it needs admins to build an stage somewhere so i can do it icily asw

    also it could be a free reward from admins to encourage people do something good in these days of corona shit.

    There are 2 stages already available to you: Vinewood Bowl and Sisyphus Theatre.

    If you want to do the RP you should be willing to foot the bill if one exists.. that said I am sure you could attempt to contact the various dealerships to see if you can get a sponsorship deal etc (or even ask admins if you plan an event).
