Ritchie Stones Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 i looked at a video where in gta 6 there wil be streams of income, where you do robery's and have to launder money, what if we are a step ahead, and crims would have to have an actual business property set up with laundromats etc, in order to launder their own money but everything, drugs, carparts, robbery of banks stores, and house robbery's ,are paid out in red cash, all have to go through that process. of laundering all the money, - this gives purpose again to purchase business propperty's, you can make your own set up, - let the money laundery be taking one hour, or less. - it takes an extra step to get your money in the bank, i think this could be a whole different expierence, the bussiness could be used for multiple purposes aswell. curious to know what your thoughts are and maybe elevate on this thought Quote
Daxu Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 I wish there was more of a setup with the server around financial crimes. Currently it doesn't seem like there's really any IC way for detectives and whatnot to get bank records and stuff (could be wrong, never played LEO here). It's funny how there's just that base assumption where any cash you deposit into a bank becomes legal. I'd love to see RICO charges, IC raids when people aren't offline, all that, make a whole thing of it. That would give JB way more in depth stuff to do than just arguing the basic charges, would build more lore-arcs for gangs, solo crims, and Meridian, the new FM system. It would also require people to RP being a good criminal, not being flashy to reduce risk (or deciding to be lavish) and all that. I honestly think it's a player count thing--not enough to really support such a complex legal system, coupled with the fact that a lot of the RP would be "boring" and many, maybe "more casual", players wouldn't feel engaged in it. The whole thing, in my opinion, revolves around folks being authors to a character and story, not just a player in a game. Some get their fun one way, some the other, some in the middle. Quote

I'd love to see RICO charges, IC raids when people aren't offline, all that, make a whole thing of it. the system exists for this, and attempts have been made, but LFM actively shut down any investigation deeper than surface level crime investigation. The server, and its criminal players, are not ready or capable of playing against a more realistic detective division that has the resources to actually investigate tax fraud, Racketeering, etc. LFM lost their minds when i conducted an investigation, proved a suspect had illegally acquired $100,000, and I seized it from his bank account without their overview and approval of the investigation. I have been actively OOCly prevented multiple times for opening case files on gang affiliated legal businesses. OTF owns a business property? i cant touch it. Alliance runs a sketchy pawnshop? OOCly off limits for me to investigate because its ran by a different "legal" faction and cant possibly have any criminal activity occurring at it. waterfelons openly advertising gang recruitment over Weazel ads cause you're in the gang and work there? not allowed to investigate. Empire hosting a large scale auction for illegal firearms? not allowed to interrupt others roleplay. Cartel has been OOCly entirely off limits. Actively shut down by FM preventing GND to investigate cartel members while they're IC. The amount of stuff I know thats happening, have IC proof, have worked dozens of hours on ICly, to be told too bad no you cant act on that, is beyond frustrating. The server and its players are not capable of playing to that level of criminal roleplay, and would immediately crash out and quit if I was allowed to act on and pursue investigations that realistically i would have every right to pursue as a gang detective.

Demonmit1 Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 but, to respond to the original post, we're not getting private labs back, why would they choose to make private laundromats? Quote
