+1, especially if the victim is instantly going to the barber it's just a waste of time for everyone. Not to mention in most robberies the robbers should be looking to get away as soon as possible.. not cutting someones hair for no good RP reason.
-
Stacking meat might be fine, but that would be a pretty big change to how people drop stuff off @ the butcher. For the other items.. just stop stealing GPS since they have basically no value. Also, I am not sure why anyone would have a map let alone multiple to stack.

Nothing you've said here makes any sense. NPC shop that sell bullets would be perfectly fine. Raising prices of guns makes the city LESS safe because criminals already get guns for less than they are in the gun shops because criminals own the gun shops and sell them to themselves/friends for less than the price legal gun buyers pay for them. Not to mention this would also let criminals sell their stolen guns for even more than they get now which will incentivize robbing people for their guns. This also completely ignores the fact that guns are already at a price inflated something at least 2x their value in their current state (they were making profit at ~4.2-5k and are now charging ~10k for .50). Judicial system has nothing to do with this suggestion.

Putting bullets in gun stores won't help because they will just jack up the prices anyways. Needs to be government owned to be fairly priced unfortunately. I don't really see this happening, but would +1 for a NPC/Server owned bullet shop.
-
If inactive owners are going to be put up for an auction how is that any different than it going to an NPC? Just refund their initial purchase price of the store.
-
In my opinion they should just make scripted stores NPC ran. There's next to no RP involved with these scripted stores other than for the owner to play farmville (order stuff, set prices, collect free money). Pretty much the only RP involved is the truck drivers who could still deliver to NPC owned businesses. Scripted stores are extremely OP and really only benefit the people who are already extremely wealthy get even more wealthy. The only store that ever has any RP interactions is the Zeta's store (which itself is debatable if it makes any sense.. but at least there is rp there). Inactive stores -> NPC owned stores seems like a good way to transition them.

If they ever update taco trucks I think there should be a way to check the price of the taco before buying it. This suggestion for drinks seems fine though, but honestly you could do this on your own by buying water and then dropping a water for people after they buy. (e.g. charge price to include the water, then when they buy a taco with the script hand them a water).

Price Fixing is 100% included in that law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act_of_1890 Violations "per se": these are violations that meet the strict characterization of Section 1 ("agreements, conspiracies or trusts in restraint of trade"). A per se violation requires no further inquiry into the practice's actual effect on the market or the intentions of those individuals who engaged in the practice. Conduct characterized as per se unlawful is that which has been found to have a "'pernicious effect on competition' or 'lack . . . any redeeming virtue'"[18] Such conduct "would always or almost always tend to restrict competition and decrease output."[19] When a per se rule is applied, a civil violation of the antitrust laws is found merely by proving that the conduct occurred and that it fell within a per se category.[20] (This must be contrasted with rule of reason analysis.) Conduct considered per se unlawful includes horizontal price-fixing,[21] horizontal market division,[22] and concerted refusals to deal.[23] Horizontal Price-fixing: https://www.inddist.com/article/2011/03/price-fixing-and-other-horizontal-requirements Horizontal price-fixing occurs when two or more competitors conspire to set prices, price levels, or price-related terms for their goods or services. With very limited exceptions, price-fixing is per se illegal, regardless of its reasonableness or actual effect on competition. As a result, price-fixing is serious business. You also have no understanding of supply and demand if you think guns in this game could or should even be considered on a supply/demand rate. Being that guns are more or less an inelastic demand (not to mention infinite supply, lol). Any person who bought a gun store and priced them for 2k under what everyone else has greedily priced them or would make a killing, Too bad the same gang members own every store currently hence being an EXTREME barrier to entry. Even if a new one were to go up for sale it would be instantly bought for more than most people could afford by the same goons running then ones that own the current ones.

-1 unless there exists at least one Server/Government run business of each type that creates the baseline for the maximum prices to be set. Gun Stores on this server show that if left to players to set prices they will basically fuck everyone over except themselves which is why IRL there are competition laws basically everywhere (Los Santos would fall under US Anti-Trust laws called the Sherman Act of 1890). Hell, if there wasn't such a barrier to entry someone could very easily set prices to around half of what they are currently price fixing at and still make a very cool profit. I don't want to pay 3k per clothing piece because a bunch of goons buys all of them. Also, store limit per per character wouldn't stop a faction (or even a single person) from buying every store of a particular type. So even saying there is a limit in place is pointless unless that limit also considers factions and alternate characters (and linked accounts).
-
-1, but fix cruise control please. Reason for 95% of my speeding tickets (even when I toggle off, then on when entering the car lately).
-
Yeah, can't wait for them to buy all the barber shops, clothing and furniture stores and triple the prices like the gun stores. It is pretty evident leaving the pricing of scripted business up to the filthy rich people doesn't work for the city at all. It also makes 0 sense that a bunch of gang members own all the gun stores, but I guess that's for a different thread.

Fishing from your Boat in the ocean gives more fish/better fish
TreMetal replied to StefanSvensson's topic in Archive
+1 but only if there are specific areas where these fish are. -
/vol speaker 0 turns off all player placed speakers permanently. Though I think it is a bit buggy when you try to turn them back on (though why would you?)

The case he is quoting is a trade car for car, how do you propose someone does this via the high end (assuming neither player has the full value of the cars as cash?) Also, it is hilarious that you think a 1.5% tax (e.g. 3k on a 200k car) is reason to allow people to scam players and potentially cause them to leave the server as a result of said scam. Fraud is a crime, NCZs should not allow fraudulent activities. If the server wants some weird tax for item to item trades then there should be a real trading system instead of what is currently allowed, but with current scripts scamming in the NCZ should not be allowed. Also, generally speaking the person scamming has the car and goads people with offers and does not want to use the high end, rather than the person getting scammed avoiding taxes. The same guy has been scamming day after day with his mint green elegy(?) and even if you offer to pay the 3% extra he says no and drives away (or says 185 cash or 210k with high end which is like 22k extra for no reason, lol)
-
There are physical camera objects in the game already. Generally speaking they are at the NCZs though which is fairly easy to figure out.
-
Seems like /low should just work for the text base phone calls. Was disappointed when I tried it and it did not work honestly.
-
If you own the game through Social Club you should be able to play fine. In RageMP / settings just make sure it points to your social club copy of GTA V.
-
Alphabetical + searchable. For phone rework idea: text message conversations that aren't just incoming messages. (e.g. click on one persons name to see your correspondence back and forth)
-
+1, but the price should be statically set by the server or have fair maximum price (or sold by the Government instead of gun stores). Gun Store owners clearly cannot be left to set fair prices on their own.

The topic obviously got moved from where it was originally. You can see where it was originally via the text of my comment: "rather than IC/Roleplay section".
-
Sorry to hear about your license. ((This is an IC forum btw. I do not see the purpose of forcing people to RP buying a body cam/GoPro, because this is an action you only would do once and save the screen shot forever which in itself is pretty pointless. He took the time to both /me and /time the RP item so I would assume he would have already RP bought it if it were required to do so [seeing as the /me + /time is currently required to use it]. That said this probably should be posted in server suggestions or Community/Discussions rather than IC/Roleplay section))

Definitely would be nice seeing as changing clothes is a hassle currently. Adding this would also give some value to having a home vs living in your car.

Improving the Real Estate Market though Creation of Luxury Items
TreMetal replied to Stan Abaddon's topic in Archive
Yup. Need to make a property tax (or HoA or whatever) that you have to pay in character to keep your house. Maybe let people deposit a month or two worth of payments in advanced. -
Was going to make a topic but decided to search first and this is the most recent thread. Would love to have binoculars.
