planting marijuana plants exterior everywhere in the city, for veteran players playing for 4-5 years in the city

[Ritchie Stones]

i think that the sole reason for that update of the weed plants not being implemented in the game is because of inbalance issues, and thats a fair take on reality.
but i am still waiting for it since 4 years, and 5 years playing, and i recently saw the readmap for november december and januari, and it seems that 
those planting weed plants everywhere in the city wont be getting implemented any time soon since every 3 months a new drama sparks up and everything keeps getting priority.

the only reason i am staying in the city for this long is because that idea being in the horizon so im very committed to this server.

now here is my idea, to avoid a massive derayling of everyone suddenly planting those plants everywhere creating inbalance, 
make it that only player who are around lets say at least maybe 3 to 5 years, can do this planting, because well we are kinda the veterans.
and earning that kingpin status doesnt come overnight, YES this wil make people jealous, but it wil also make people wanna go get that status themself and stay more than 3 years, 

i know this post wil spark controversy, but 4 years waiting and 5 years playing(im not angry here btw), deserves that reward of status, and this wil avoid the market overflooding because only a select few can do this, we been loyal we been consistant, it avoids inbalance.

and most of all i want to be able to sell those plants to gangs like im some kinda pablo escobar, i want to RP and be of vallue doing person to person trade.
if this isnt a trophy for players to want to achief and stick around for very long then i dont know, its the litteral dream of every crim. so lets make this being earned

I'm personally not a fan of gatekeeping features for players who have achieved a certain playtime. Features should be made available for everyone.

We can have the debate of planting plants wherever and the pros and cons of that, but restricting that to experienced players would raise more problems than it would solve i feel...

Neither am i. But….. its been 4 years. And it keeps getting post poned. I was in a way happy to see the new roadmap fearures but on another side i am disappointed again. To see that it wil for sure not be there another 3 months. And what else is going to pop up by that time that get priority. At this point im just throwing ideas to a wall out of desperation

It would be better if everyone could do it ofcourse. I made 10 or if not more suggestions over the past 4 years since the first tease. Its the only reason i have been so patient in the city. It just keep getting put on the shelf. I just sayd to timmay. At this point im throwing wild ideas at a wall out of desperation,

what even is the obsession of having the planting around the map? I get it, it's kinda cool and would open up a new avenue for some low level crims, but it's nothing that amazing to be waiting 5 years (as you are saying).

I don't think there's another person that wants it as bad as you do.

If it gets added, I'll enjoy it yeah, but its so down the list of priorities that I don't really think it's ever going to happen.

Also limiting scripts to time played is useless. Maybe you can tie it to your drug cooking level, then yeah.

This can be created with the same lvl system that already exists, once you reach a certain lvl you have accumulated enough knowledge to start planting them wherever you want. 

 

There are many things that I'm still waiting for to be put on the server after all the pop that has happened. But it hasn't been released yet.

 

 

We need to finally start realizing the reasons why so many people left this server with words, it's no longer interesting to try to achieve anything here because no one is listening and no one is interested.

That'd be great except this feature was teased YEARS ago and yet where is it? Still in, incomplete files.

Its funny that its down the list because i am very sure that this is actualy a very big thing that is missing. And another 91% of votes thinks this to so im not sure what planet you live on. But you implement this and the server is popping again, why. ALL low and solo crims are now civilians because there is nothing wrong about being obsessed, its people like me that keep highlighting some issues and ideas that push change. So if you wanna lean back and let it all happen thats up to you. But i am not a person like that. I wil keep pushing this until its there

If we thinks about it, it won't effect anything, plants alone are useless unless cooked, and we all know that current drug RP is a mess with toxic robbers, who PvP and grind assets with 0 intention of RP.
i belive that if we adds something similar to TOOLBOX idea in chopchop in privite locations, where we can plant seeds would be great, with a cost of like 50k, also add rules that we can't plate on cement or rocks, or house interiors, diert grounds only would be a great push to the Drugs RP.

+1 for the idea but it should be for everyone not just for the people who have been on the server for a while.

We suggested this ages ago but still would love to see this

Nobody is saying that it's a bad idea. But the amount of "low" crims is far lower than the actual crim that are being starved for content. There's over 10 gangs that are completely dead because there's nothing to do and/or active people to recruit. 
How many "low" level crims are there these days? Compare that to the number of gang members that are asking for stuff to happen in terms of Development.

can you explain what activities illegal factions are doing away from robbing people? 
people make or join illegal crews just to not get robbed or rob people, let's be real, most of them are only busy with grinding, no care for RP.

can you explain what youre personally doing to provide RP for other people?

There are currently only 2 illegal factions that are providing RP for EMS, PD, SD & similar. 

And if you want to do illegal activities, expect to be robbed. If you don't want to get robbed go work freelance jobs, or do ATMs/Stores/Banks, which in turn will get you in trouble with cops which is arguably even worse as you're going to lose your stuff + going to DOC for an extensive amount of time.

Yeah its crazy labs are safer even with people robbing. Did labs for a year never got arrested. Started doing stores and got arrested 5 times in 2 days.

not enough players with 3+ years actively playing for this to even remotely make sense, -1

u just admit that making players able to plant outside labs , will kill illegal factions activities, i don't agree with u on that point, illegal factions should focus on making a group of players, where they can help eash others with deals and crim activities, legal ones, and even robberies.

the problem why i commented in the first place is that u linking robberies as the main factor why illegal factions should be alive, sadly current server player base and gameplay doesn't help to be creative in RP without losing time and assets duo to the factor of how expensive everything is from repairs costs,food cost fuel (4-10k an hour), 80percent of current player base only log in to grind and collect assets.

i believe that if suggestions like these will be added, it will make collecting assets more easy, which will make people think getting creative on ideas, and cover the costs of their RP, like hosting events, carshows,.... .

+1 but for everyone , not only OG players

This is the whole point of why the server is unattractive for new players and time and time again people are showing it with post like these and they don't even understand it. I understand, loyal players shouldnt be neglected either.

Server is having hard time to attract new players as people playing on PVP server where they get stomped by everyone else and sadly this is the state of the server as of now.

I'd give an example like Tarkov, where it is nearly impossible for new player to enjoy the game as all the chads just annihilate you to the point that it's no fun, same as like this server unless you try to go to law enforcment/civ jobs.

Server mentality is play to win and it shows, rather than giving new players a boost, old players are asking for themselves to get boosted (until no one is left on the server), no wonder server is dwindling and it's sad. 

whats more sad to see, experienced players saying oh there's not enough players with 3+ years to reap the benefits, we should lower it.

Guys, keep chasing the benefits until there's no one else left on the server.

They should just add it in general. It won the vote and if they weren't serious about it it shouldn't have been on the poll in the first place. Its not unbalanced cause you still have to go cook it unless you are just selling plants which is wayyyyy less money than cooking so it evens out. Hell this could open up more rp opportunities for people who may just want to sell plants and avoid labs. 

[Tylerwalk]

This topic won the vote by a land slide so i really don't see a point in this suggestion. If they have any plans on doing it they will, given how many people already showed interested in it. +1 though, people been wanting the ability to plant anywhere for years.

91.05% yes only 7.37% no, that is NON NEGOTIATABLE results !!! 
4 years !!! waiting, it has to happen it has to take place, this can no longer be ignored 

[Blazendary]

Def would be a cool feature to finally add, but gate keeping it behind a veteran status will just kill the server more
