the rp thing really sounds appealing, but you cant deny the nature of humans, its not " grinding" its simply that people find fulfillment, direction, and purpose by accomplishing things, every evening I find the same pattern, people make their money, and at the end of the day they gather in on place and socialize, that's how we work, I heavy disagree with singing kumbaya in a circle pretending "all is well", because its not you will very quickly lose players when they have no purpose or direction and if it doesn't matter what you do, like, sure rp has to be part of it, but you need to accomplish, because that is what makes a human happy on everyday basis

what about quantum snow, to be solid and liquid at the same time simultaneous..

the issue is more " inconsistency" passing by so many labs just to find one that is somewhat a bit of a normal lab to cook, suddenly finds itself across the map of where I live, result is that I just stopped cooking, because I lost my motivation looking around for one hour finding a fitting lab risking my life 6 times XD if I only had a location and a time where I felt like it was somehow a bit normal to cook I would find back that motivation, private labs where also not ideal, it was very boring, even more boring than public labs, but it was at least a place I could go to whenever I choose so that I could make money, I'm a real grinder, and the past year I been at burgershot almost everyday, I really lost that spark

GRAB EM BY THE PURSE!!

damn... i think if you open 50% of labs at all time. solo crims will feel more motivated to go to them, it will make crim more attractive aswell, those labrunners are going to do what they do regardless so let them do it more, they will run every lab so there is more movement in the map, cops will benefit from that to,as for gta 6, I think the thing that's a threat the most is the fact you can actually transfer the cars and houses you own with a currency, I think the server will lose about 50 players the rest seems to be solid invested players over the long run, you cant compare numbers from 4 years ago either because of covid lockdowns,

anyone knows what happened to the monthly newsletter ? it hasn't been up for the last 2 months, I think it was a great way to stay excited for what is comming

apparently the server prefers this over actual rp because of the declining server population, that they want crims to come outside because now having people inside apparently would make the city feel far more empty. so we are on the losing end on this and it wont get better from here, because the fewer people they have the more we are going to be forced into one place for the sake of just anything going on, even if it means to have chaos at best. in a way it makes sense to do so, but its not looking to bright for the future. - maybe if they open up all the 30 labs at all time, more people would gravitate to crim rp again, and there would be more opportunity for all crims, and let those robbers and clapper mentality's chase us into labs, because that's what they are doing anyway... just driving their car into every lab, so at least we can have more options open to us. these clappers are going about their way regardless so why not let them make more effort to do so..

-1 you have no idea of the ripple effect on this, if you where wronged with no refund you would eventualy become that reckless aswel, because why care about justice when there is none… the deep rooted resentment will grow to full blown hatred in the server, also if you think report culture is still a thing you should have withness the server 4 years ago, that was WILD! It has actualy calmed down by at least 10 times, i remember +-10 to 15 reports a day,

Weird suggestion, lets fish u stuff that has nothing to do with fishing and even can bring a civil in trouble, like the gun or drugs can get you a record to never be able to become legal, its a bad idea for people who are unaware of the consequences. however they are currently working on fishing deeper at see and using different rods, and cash different fish and a level of fishing, which i think is a way better idea,

forget it boyz, the only crime you wil make in the server is making 20k per hour,

If only the gps spawn would be random during 5 minuts, and you had your speed of the car not slowed down that would be an improvement, i think the speed lowering is more ridiculous than the gps actualy

We have been asking this since 3 years i think the server has more important plans, its like the phone thing, so many requests yet nothing really happened

Infact economy was waaaaay more booming and there was way more personal interaction then it is now so, stop demonising this for the love of god

Its time for the server to stop overacting it, its not like its going to be 100s of thousands to print in free money, im talking about maybe 10 k when invested at least a 100k, its really time to get over the past and the money printing maybe the private labs where idd a vit to easy but pol dont have to swing to the whole other way all the time, eversince the private labs everyone gets on their high horse when it comes to making a bit more than burgershot really, get over it it was not that bad,

Exactly!! Just something simple, random up and down not even to hardcore pump and dump, lets say you put 10k in and 1 week later your either 1 k profit or 1 k loss you can decide to let it sit again a bit longer, maybe another stock that compounds, just a few simple not to heavy stocks, kinda flowing naturaly, i dont think its heavy scripting, but its something lucrative on the side, why not right, i think its even in the gta story line where you put money in a stock and it went up overtime,

I know what im talking about, im not going any more deeper into it because its to long to type and has no purpose for other to understand that deep, i want to keep it simple, just 5 or 10 different stocks for the game that randomly go up and down, you put in some money and you tab out when it gets a bit above what you invested in a span of weeks and months, not like big money but just something to put some money away that you dont use at that time and have patience, nothing to over complicated ,

Uhm no, gambling is different from stocks, with stocks you can put in low with money you dont need and take out when higher, just patience is more key

Its has nothing to do with crim or legal, a stock market is untaxable and fines based of liquid money is unfair in every way for everyone, because if the stock dumps from 3 mil to 1 mil and you have to pay a fine based of 3 mill in vallue, then you are paying and unfair price towards what you have the day of the crash and the other way around, i truly have a hard time finding your logics in this. Stocks aside for one moment, its is also unfair to pay more in fines when you are rich because then whats the point of putting in more work to become rich then others and still pay more, this is a communistic idea, like, i worked way harder then most to accomplish my wealth, why would i have to pay more ? Because i did more to have more ?

Well what is the point of becoming rich if my fines are based of my total wealth, might aswell stay broke and pay a 30 dollar fine, instead of grinding myself 3 000 000 And pay way more.. Makes no point, also if your fines are based off your stocks, then what is the point of investing that massive risk when the punishment is even more harsh for winning something. what if you are fined based of today and tomorrow your stocks drop 50% thats a double L the reason rich people dont pay taxes to their total wealth is because they have most of it in stocks that go up and down all the time, and they only pay tax when they take out, when they need some, they dont own anything.. so you cant calculate their worth

You cant seize stocks forcefully, you can only tax them on their profit when they cashing in, stocks is a liquid form of money and thus this is why its so hzrd to get taxed on it because… when will you tax them when its high or low? Or middle you cant even tell, when it comes to fines it should be towards what they actualy own because a stock you dont actualy own, untill you own them by cashing out. Thats why its so hard to tax the rich, because they put it all in a liquid pool and pull out when they need cash for owned investments

So. This looks similar than the bitcoin suggestion 3 years ago. The server doesnt want people to print free money, however i thought myself it would be lucrative to have a few stock going on, randomly going up and down with AI not even based on any fact for people to put in money when low and pull out when higher, diversifying portfolios, bust for people with money who are bored and have patience, it would be cool for people to have a side passive thing going on jumping on oppertunity, the fact that it would be random with AI could make it lt very hard to implement, but i doubt this wil ever be a thing

Exactly my point, you said it better, the reality of this is so brutal, nobody wil own anything anymore because everyone keep raiding eachother

-1 nobody should be punished for being offline and their stuf being taken, it all sounds like a great plan until its you that got stolen 3 years of your stuff overnight, its to critical of damage and would people give up on the server. Why would you own any stuff if anyone can pass by and take it away… - on the side of that, you guys think you going to make big bank out of this, but reality is that ppl wil lock everything up in their appartments, push their stash RV’s in the water, and all safes that are left will be empty because everyone jumps onto the race and all you guys will get is empty safes…

you got a valid point there, maybe they can make it such that, they cant shift click on injured/dead bodies, and make an exception to the rule in this case, I think overall the player expierence would be nice if it was implemented for al the other things that would make it such a smooth experience,
