Demands/Being able to rob outside of labs.

[Rem]

Hello I am Dean King and I have been playing the server on and off for the past 5 years now, Lately as I have been playing this server I have noticed that nobody listens to demands as much as they did a couple years back, people look for a win in any situation even if it is being robbed by stalling, going ooc or straight up not listening to demands whatsoever, everything has become a "save pov" war. additionally, my roleplay is extremely limited, I can't rob in public areas even if someone is talking shit due to "high traction areas" even though the server pop is extremely low and those consequences should be dealt with IC.

ECRP has neglected the solo players roleplay of the person trying to create unique and fun moments around the map and favors big faction roleplay that is basically just lab pvp. It is more profitable to AFK at a lab than it is to create diverse roleplay and it is also safer for your admin panel to never try and rob anyone whatsoever outside of labs, this to me is one of the most boring playstyles. at the end of the day what is the point of having all these money/guns/cars if you can't even use them outside of a lab how you want to.

In the case someone talks shit you should be able to pull a gun no matter the area and if someone doesn't listen to demands fully you should be able to kill them and everything should be dealt with IC instead of forum war. We as a server have moved backwards instead of forwards and the state of the server is a reflection on that (mostly underneath 100 players). Allowing criminals to play the game how they are meant to without slapping whatever sticks to their admin panel would be a great way to revive some life back in the server and make the game more enjoyable even for the players taking the L by getting robbed or whatever it might be.

My question is why the server caters so much to this victim mindset and why there are so many rules in place to protect these players? Are players this protected by rules and forum reports on other RP servers? Criminals are the ones who are supposed to create RP and bring life to the server and right now it feels like they are locked to certain parts of the map for profit and everyone is just doing their own thing.

This isn't some DM server where you get to pull your gun on anyone, and if they don't comply within 2 seconds, you can blast them. This is meant to be an RP server; there are rules in place to make sure there is actual motive and reasoning behind robberies and killings. Talking shit shouldn't result in death; that's just insane. 

I do agree partly with nobody complying with demands anymore, with the new frp rules, it almost encourages people to ignore danger and just run. Also, with 'Lab Culture' in general, it's not fun, it just encourages big, powerful groups to go around pvp'ing everyone they see for a slight chance of profit.

First of all you are so wrong, people such as myself in the "big gangs" we rarely want to rob anyone for any so to little, it ain't fun and you said it yourself there's no profit. I played back in the day as a crim main, the amount of exagaration people make it to be, it's beyond insane. People used to be an;e tp pull on each other because most of the time there was a reason, which created more interactions and roleplay. I hope you are not one of those that just listens to rumours then ends up putting feedback when you weren't even here back in the day to experience it.
