Just want a general chat for what type of RP people like and what they dislike, what would you like to see in the city more and less of? 

 
People being open for the change and the flow of natural roleplay. Sometimes just roll with it. See what happens !

Those moments stick!

 
More opportunities to create businesses maybe some kind of RP with government or a mayor of the city. 

Less bad RP from the cops. To many police in the city that are power hungry and always want to win situations. There is some brilliant police officers but most that I’ve meet are just power hungry and always want to win and a RP scenario 

 
The server is going in the right direction in my opinion, with the most recent updates coming out, like the car update (still needs balanced, but Its a good start).

What I'd like to see is less people hanging around turfs and roleplay in other places, I understand " PROTECT WHERE I LIVE" but there is so much more to see and roleplay around on this server. When I go around and see 10-20 around a single area, day after day, in a circle talking. It gets boring.

Give people a reason to go to other places, maybe a paintball arena, gives people another way to blow off steam instead of shooting in wars instead. ( the racing track was a good idea, gives the car enthusiasts something to do).

More legal jobs, Farming, Royal Mail, Mechanics, Working at Burger Shot or other restaurants.

I don't really like this police "always want to win" like yes as I'm sure anybody playing a game wants to win. As police we want to do our job on the server and make arrests. I believe sometimes people are saying this as although they have put effort in they still lost. But you have to understand that I'm certain many people want to win the scenario on both sides, it's just when people go to far to win such as breaking the rules / intentionally. creating shit RP such as "put your hands up don't press your panic button". People just need to find what works and what doesnt as police I have seen many tactics people use to get away and we try and adapt to stop that. However that then creates gaps to get away.

The win thing isn't always about trying to evade the police. The win mentality is always showing numbers, it makes any form of any sort of roleplay against police just turn in to a team death match because the numbers are so great shooting always ends up as the result. An example of forced win is criminals going to prison from a gang and the police feel the need to have the entire police force escort G6 up. It gives people zero opportunity to roleplay breakouts. Money and evidence transports being the same sort of situation. Zaps the fun of a potential robbery RP and takes away the police opportunity to do some actual police RP instead of roll out in numbers, get to target destination and grab the win. I've completely stopped going on my gang character simply for the fact the police force is huge and you can't fart without being surrounded and searched. 

I'd like to see more interactions where you can talk your way out of just being cuffed, searched and thrown in prison to stand around for a few hours doing nothing instead. I've recently just been going around the city and letting RP unfold as I go, which has lead to some very interesting moments in RP and I'm not saying all police are in that win mentality as I've encountered some hilarious natural moments with officers, but even as G6 I still try to hurry along police encounters or turn the other way just because I dread the moment where they stop you, cuff you for a search and then that's it Roleplay for that encounter is almost certainly over as you get thrown in a cell, they write a report and then just get rid of you. 

 
I would love to see things like Estate agents being implemented where people can sign up, have a job interview etc and then go around and show people houses for sale, give them a tour, a price etc. This all just improves the RP from running around the city, going up to every door and seeing if it is for sale or not.

Really want to see more places where people can just chill and chat to one another no matter what gang they are in, just like it was back in the day at autocare. The new underground racecourse is playing a big role in this so far which is nice to see.

Would like to see changes in the police where only a certain amount of police can be involved in a prisoner transport, evidence transport etc. If there are less numbers it gives the other party a chance to get involved. For example lets say a gang member is being transported by g6, instead of there being 1 g6 and 2 or 3 trojan cars, lower the numbers so it gives the opposing side a chance to stop the convoy and then that leads to another RP scenario. With the evidence transport having a lot less police involved gives gangs and other people a chance to attack the transport and try and get the items that where being transported. These things just give all parties involved more things to do and more RP experiences. Everyone is playing this server for the fun of it, if you get caught by police or if the gang/other people defeat the police who cares its just fun for all.

These are only a few suggestions but i do believe the server is going in a very positive direction but certain tweak's can make it even better!!

 
Honestly I'd just like to see more RP from a lot of different people gangs,police,G6 and Civs at the end of the day that's what we're here for. I'm a gang member and I try to RP with people as much as possible whilst still maintaining the gang image of don't fuck with gangs but more people need to do that and not just shout "get the fuck off my turf" and pull a weapon out on someone and threaten them because it just wrecks that persons time in the server. Also in regards to gangs I've heard more high quality RP is desired but if your not out selling drugs or sitting on turf your mining gangs are mainly filled with grinding resources which I think limits RP because everyone is grinding to have enough materials and weapons to be on top. On a police front a lot more police need to RP and value their lives being a gang member I get in trouble with police all the time and I think since I joined the server in Feb I can count on one hand how many slightly decent interactions I've had with police and those moments come from people like Shepard, Tigerforce and Jay Martinez.

We need less "lets get this over with" and more thought out and valuable RP behind things. As for value of life to rob a fed you literally have to run around in packs of at least 10 to make them put their hands up and not panic or just spray you down with whatever weapon they are holding, I understand its high risk high reward to hold an officer hostage but most of them think they are super man and deflect bullets. You dont have to win every engagement its okay to lose and makes things more realistic and tense for the robbers in question as they know they are gonna get a massive amount of time and a chase.

In regards to Grouppe six in prison your RP is actually pretty decent from my experience but when you see someone breaking into prison or outside planning something RP it out dont just mag dump them its excessive use of force and there is a lack of RP in that situation so all I can say for you lot is try engage more and arrest people dont straight up try and murder them.

For civilians around the server try interact with people and make an ark all I see and hear now is "Have you got any white?" or "Are you selling weed" obviously you need money in the server I get that but we're here for RP if all you wanna do is sell drugs to make money and be anti social is there any point playing RP? Join a gang, apply for Police/NHS or G6 do something with your time here RP has infinite possibilities its all about finding the right people to do these things with who arent going to tell you no because they cant be assed RPing things out or would rather do something else. 

Sort of a rant/answer to the question from my pov in the server rn.

 
I feel like what’s most needed is a change of mentality. Lots of people on the server try to RP their very best but some people treat it like it’s not worth it, boring, useless or even “cringe”. People aren’t supporting the ones who are trying to RP and make things interesting, instead treating the server like a normal GTA server where you min/max everything for your own convenience. For example, people try to RP having mechanic shops where they repair and wash cars for you, but only some people support them. The others just think “I don’t need that I have my own repair kits and wash cloths why would I even bother going to them it’s a waste of time”. I understand if the devs make it compulsory for people to go to shops and get rid of repair kits, then people will go to them. Currently everyone has freedom in the server to do any RP they want, but if people don’t support it then it’ll just vanish and go back to people doing things for their own benefit, trying to be on top and the best individual/ group in the server, instead of talking to people and having fun which is the whole point of an RP server. Other examples like some people don’t go through the court system or try and attend a trial cause they think it’s boring and cringe. How can it be better if no one is supporting it ? Also RP with NHS where some people might think “Yeah yeah just revive me so I can get going” We should all support one another cause everyone is trying their best to do quality RP and make sure people have fun and enjoy themselves.

More of a push for passive RP, companies that people can work in and provide simple but fun rp. These are two of my suggestions that I'd personally love to do. Owned a real estate company for some time although the way the city is setup with housing made it an absolute headache. Making tattoo studios ownable could also bring more RP. Nearly everyone has tattoos, make rp out of it!

Cant edit for some reason but if you ever do come round Marabunta and I'm there while you get tattoos, you'll get some fun passive rp. We gotta see more of it!

Ive submitted a massive suggestion to bring Royal Mail to the server. Its been sent directly to the devs. It was discussed briefly last year in a City Council meeting (before that was disbanded) but at the time i didnt have the time to run it. Now I do and it is something I am keen to bring to the server. 

The Postman. 

Edit: 

Also I would like to see more action and interaction between gangs and people. Id like to see a city that doesnt revolve around crime. Id like to be able to drive past people in various scenarios and stop and spectate. Id like to see a LOT LESS grinding and a LOT MORE fun. I dont know why people want/need to grind but id like to see player run events, there are literally 100s you can do with the basic tools already in game. 

Id like to see more holy people in the city too. obviously.

I would like to see more role play opportunities to be fair and more business and jobs i feel like there is alot of potential jobs there could be in the city like; you have the lumber mill up in peleto what could be a good job you have buildings almost everywhere in the city what could be a place i enjoy the server alot im just thinking of ideas mostly 

 
Id like to see more business type role play, a reason for you to goto a place. a great example is autoexotic which in my opinion going super well with lots of RP.

More garages with different options, like chop shops where people can bring cars which have been requested that day for payment, then money for the garage for the parts / scrap of the car, get rid of bennys etc to force people into going to RP garages where they can do upgrades & repairs - A skill system for these places with the players would be good, like 50 jobs completed = apprentice which unlocks new mechanic / mechanic / foreman type of leveling thing.

on the back of the above, pick lock skills / thieving skills for robbing vehicles for the chop shops ( gone in 60 seconds come to mind 😛 )

Car dealerships - don't have import days, they have staff who are their daily selling cars and ordering doing raffles. ( have their own F6, and owners in my opp shouldn't be in a gang  )

More interactive places like casino, i saw a post about the fair ground pier the other day ( good idea )

Airport is a dead area right now, maybe implement small passenger planes for people who enjoy flying, transporting people / npcs to other air fields / military base deliveries

Overall i think the city is moving to a better place, with a lot of people willing to work on the above things, I have concerns over police but I wont rant about that here.

 
Lets face it, changing the mentality of an entire community isnt gonna happen. 
What i would like to adress is the currently biggest RP community on the server, the gangs.
Whilest ive both seen and had great RP with gang members it rarely ever has anything to do with the group they are associated with. Groups like the Apostles and The Firm have a solid and continued theme story and goal whilst other gangs say a street is theirs? I think alot can be done by gangs to find a reason for them to exist, when i ask ''why are you at war?'' i cant get an awnser? are you at war so you can do a drive by without interaction? how much better would a drive by be if killing that person caused real issues for that group?

Honestly, there is ALOT that can be done by the current gang leaders and their members. Dont sit around waiting for the devs to tell you what you should do just start doing what you want to see on the server! i could go on for days with ideas for what you could put your effort towards so what is stopping you? Thats what i belive auto exotic has proved, we had litteraly nothing but what was already available to us, 4 months later and now we're a real place on the map! Dont do it for the money, do it for other people and they will give you roleplay back, come up with some bullshit and see where you can take it!

Honestly I agree with what you say, at the time I see some gangs starting wars literary over nothing or the smallest reason because they are bored at the state of the city and instead of improving the state of the city they end up making it even worst and turning into a war zone which in return ends up being less appealing to new players and consequential making the server have fewer players, at the moment might as well be the same as Arma3 with some gangs coming up with the excellent catchphrase of "hands up or die" or instead of going through a negotiation/talk first prefer the shoot first, talk later approach.

Also needless to say it's not every gang it would be unfair to put everyone in the same bag same as with police obviously there is bad apples on both sides but that's something that is really hard to change.
