Pretty sure the Lost and Firm never got on it either. They have regularly been handing out opportunities for people to do 'other' work.
I think both of us tried at the very start, more just to see what it was all about. That said yeah you are right, we have done loads of things to create other work for people, some take it, some don't.
I'd also suggest to those who want to see more crim RP, why not just go and help create it? If the pay-out isn't an issue and you value RP over money, then it's proven by the RP.
The thing is right it's all well and good saying if you don't want to do it, then don't, go create other RP, but you have to remember that peoples time is limited if you work etc... if people don't have a lot of time, and they want to enjoy the things you can do on the server then currently they are being pushed towards bins because they need money. It's not as simple as saying go do taxi instead, because the pay outs from the bin job has directly impacted the price that a lot of things are being sold for. Car dealerships upped prices, because the economy is so inflated, auctions are going for much much more now because of the amount of money a lot of people have, so if other players want to be able to get these things in their limited time, they are having to do bins as well
I mean you can say doing bins is boring, but selling drugs for hours on end is just as mind numbing. God forbid coalition hill was as popular now as it was last year. You'd have 10-15 people rinsing set sof cars for literally hours and hours. It's more so, people want all the profits with no way to lose money. Bins is decent but you know not as tedious as selling coke or weed. Mentality changes, and opinion changes.
As they say it's not the destination that you want, it's not even the journey it's who you become on the journey.
People have had everything on the server they could possibly want, I mean look at the two powerhouses, the Lost and the Firm, I'm sure they get bored but what do they do they roleplay their characters and try to make a change. I think people are taking the game way too seriously it's been a thing for years and we
all need to take a step back realise that maybe we're part of the problem and better yourself first, then tell others the same. I've done it and maybe you need to too. (Not you specifically jack
)
Drugs are different though, isn't they? There's a lot more risk and roleplay involved in it. People can tax you at certain spots, the Police can come for you, other crims can try rob you. Theres a lot of risk when it comes to selling drugs - I say bring back coalition hill
What I'd really like to see is the ability for whitelisted gangs to set up moving drug spots, like once per restart, saying Ballas for example can set up a drug area in Sandy or something like that. Gives more RP for them, to create a 'client base' and set up these spots whether on the map, let Police find them etc...
I think when it comes to pay outs, the bottom line is yes the bin job pays too much compared to other illegal ways of making money, but you can't reasonably expect people that maybe only have a couple of hours a night to be happy settling for something that pays considerably less and has much more risk, when there's easier ways. That's like asking gangs to use sedans in gunfights, just because its easier for people to catch them. It isn't going to happen. Either reduce the pay out from bins, or re-balance illegal methods.
For example, I was told recently that small banks only pay out like 500k...? How does that make any sense in the current state of the server, say you have 4 people doing the bank. 4 guns, the drill, other things you need, that's like a £3m risk (plus your time you put into the prep), for 500k when realistically there's a high chance you get caught.
