100% wrong about the public labs, let me explain
people DONT go there because its a call of duty lobby, nobody wants to sit around having 30 drugs being crafted, to then be stripped of everything, they also just get camped all the time, on top of that it is extremely toxic vocal behavior.
its deeply discouraging to go there, because it leaves you very bitter...
also the private labs have gone so bad, they explode very random. i don't mind you can only push 10 tables, but you cant do 10 runs on them or they explode already, then you buy 10 new ones, and they explode after 3 times of use, just to make 27.500 profit for cooking 1 hour on 10 tables, to then after 10 times lose an investment of 100k, that's outrageous.
i loved when I could grow my investments and expand, now... we have to sit in a public lab waiting our turn to cook as if we are homeless people waiting in line for food... yes its more social, but not in a good way.
ordering tables and drops, making connections and upkeeping them actually was a far higher form of RP then it is now, because you had to actually upkeep connections and friends. i really don't understand how this is so unseen
