So true this,
main problem isnt PD/SD dont get me wrong i do believe they are abit OP on some things but theyre not the main problem, the main problem is FM because theyre a failure and who makes things hard on the gangs which one of them is getting imports it takes you 1 or 1 year and half to just be able to import .50s and some heavies and you have to do so much shit during that year write so many forum posts do boring events just to be able to import and when you do something wrong FM dont give a shit about all those hard work you do and they will just simply take it away from you and then the whole gang leaves the server, honestly what did FM 2.0 do?? make the heavies cheap add some more labs and added faction war which we asked when the server was having 500-600 players.
and another miskate they did was reduce the member cap to 30 from 40 which I believe it was a huge mistake from them heres why if for example there were 3 gangs that had 40 members and they had to kick 10 people and the 10 people would have nothing to do anymore cos they just got kicked from their gang and evanually they quit the server, in my opinion they should have kept the 40 or reduce it to 20 so that would have made the 3 gangs devided to 6 and there were more gangs in the labs and doing things but that wouldnt have fix the issue tbh because they still had to do so much work to get imports again, even an irl job doesnt require this much work tbh.
When I joined PD I realized the issue was never them it was the gangs and what FM was requiring and all the crims are upset because someone can join PD and within a month he has permission to unlimited guns and cars while crims have to put in so much hard work just to have import (and the main reason why factions are leaving).
I wanna add this as well :
if something doesnt go someones way they end up in /b and forums (even if they win we have seen that from the past) or just simply hate the person who killed them and its already been suggested that to remove /b completly because of the tocxic use, this just makes more people to leave because they cant be asked to end up in forums or /b all the time when they try to do something.
