A simple and easy suggestion that I believe makes a lot of sense for Criminal RP.
Right now, any player can go to a Dealer/NPC and interrogate them/ Extract Intel in an attempt to comp a drop/ make the dealer "Snitch" about an upcoming drop. The process depends on the influence points and the decay of the turf, not only on this specific turf but on other turfs that are owned / taken by a gang. If the gang has high influence points, the chances of the dealer snitching will be lower, and vice-versa.
My suggestion is:
The dealer will ask for something in return, depending on the dealer and influence points, they will ask for a specific amount of money in order for them to provide a location which will be "The word on the streets", which won't always be accurate, but it will be close to the drop location. The more influence points there is, the more expensive the tip would be. This will promote more RP that makes sense where players have to consider important factors, such as Risk & Reward, instead of spinning/Rolling every dealer on the map just to end up in a shootout. Dying every day for a 12k lysergic drop does not make any sense, but promote a PvP environment. Just to make it clear, there is nothing wrong with having shootouts, but only for a proper reasoning. But when it happens every day for the exact same reason and without any proper RP reasoning and backstory, at this point it's not fun and it ruins the experience.
