House robberies

[MateiC]

I think the UI for house robberies should not be available for everyone else to see. It’s incredibly unrealistic and I think breeds toxic RP where certain players just go around every house (as they learnt by now which ones are open for robberies in the rotation) and check the UI to see if it’s being robbed and then wait in bushes to rob you. It’s become extremely difficult to do these house robberies and is honestly ruining the experience for a lot of people. In real like you won’t have people just waiting around to corner to rob the ones who are already robbing. Also not to mention the fact there wouldn’t be any sign of forced entry into the house as you pick lock it, you don’t use a wrench to prop it open. 
If someone sees you going into the house, with crates or sees you pick locking it then fair enough, rob them if that’s how you want to play, but if you haven’t seen anyone going in or out of the house and you are waiting for them only because you checked the UI on the door then I don’t see why you would have IC information to know there is a robbery happening. 
Thank you, and I hope you will consider looking into this and implementing changes in regards to house robberies.

Most weekend nights up in vinewood are maybe 1-2 house robberies and then  maybe half a dozen people  just running around checking doors, this is a metagaming abuse of the UI limitations currently in place on the server. when i walk past someones front door IRL there isnt a big neon sign saying "HOUSE ROBBERY: OPEN" so why are players allowed to act on us having that sign in game?

as OP said, if they catch you going in and out of the property, holding crates etc. then yes, that can warrant a little more sleuthing and a proper robbery. but when you factor in the planning time, money invested, tools, drugs and transportation you need to organise to even attempt a house robbery, having it killed off because some dude in silders and a tshirt mask randomly checked the door and magically realised the place was being robbed, so he can call the boys and get some free loot....yeah no thanks.

@MateiC
I noticed your topic and I believe it might be good to also make you aware of the following suggestion that has also been created:

I believe your intentions with this suggestion align pretty well with that one too! If you wish, you can check that topic out and maybe comment with your view on this and/or add anything to it so it can be considered for the suggestion.

Amazing, thanks @Yputi. I check this thread often I am not sure how I missed on MrSilky’s post, it aligns very well with what I intend to suggest!

Thank you for your suggestion. As mentioned before by Yputi, this is a duplicate suggestion, we will be linking it to another and archiving this for continued consideration.
