Oh yes that too. I was making this mistake for a long time. Pick your fav club or a bar instead of pub crawl. People will notice you.

Well easiest way to start is faction roleplay. Just pick a concept and look for a faction. Some of my chars had similar issue. No friends and all that, but sometimes you get lucky. Pick a group of interest. Like racing or local goth / punk scene, clubs or bars are not really good place to start, but sometimes it's easier. Also themed bars are good place too. Use FB, basic rule, socialize 🙂 people are more welcoming than you's think.

Train to evade is actually mooooore fun, more cinematic too.

Well bubble rp it is called. It is actually frowned upon in general rp community, but GTA rp always been a special case about it. Depends on what you would wanna rp. Look for people with similar interests.

Yeah I have a tip, if you don't enjoy it. Don't play, play something else for a while. Don't force yourself to log in, because it can lead from a burnout feeling to hate pretty fast.

I mean people should be allowed to rp there alright, just not using cars to evade there. Bikes are fine with me.

Not only that. I been to every tunnel in the game. They usually don't even draw properly and you often fall through the textures.

+1 from me. People saying, learn to take the L, are usually the ones who never do that.

Or...basically don't go where they are. That's how it works irl. Yet if people tend to flock to each other on a larger scale map, mind you this is not limited to JUST one area, there are plenty throughout Sandy Shores and surroundings. Problem with white supremacist youth, is that they always have to try proving something to themselves. So they most of times literally wait for someone to give them a reason. And not acting accordingly to your surroundings, usually counts as a reason. It is mostly about who you are and where you are. I spent 4 years on white supremacist roleplay scene and I can tell you, that what people claim to be happening, are usually rare occasions. But the pressing I agree happens everywhere, literally. I often drive down to Vespucci area cause I like that clothing shop there. And once or twice I am asked where I am from, doesn't matter which character.

The cooldown is quite a good idea, if it is per store. But I'd go further with it. Per store meaning, if the store was robbed, it is on cooldown, so nobody else can rob the store until then. Because we all know what happened, when they introduced a house break-in without admin supervision. Lot of houses were broken into over and over sometimes several times per day by different groups. Other than that... +1

Which is why I had to start ignoring some altercations and dead bodies around the city. Because anyone with even a slight hint of sanity left in their mind, would've moved out of LS by now. Realistically.

Which is why, we always will come to conclusion, that mugging rule is a exactly where it should be. People will argue, that for few bad apples whole server is punished. But what people like to omit from their comments, is that these "few" bad apples actually amount to quite a lot of what's happening on the server.

I remember people just kicking it out on the beach, not local gangs, but civilians. Over the time, the outdoor roleplay has been limited heavily, given there is a possibility to be mugged or robbed even on mount chiliad while hiking. In the past people used every loophole to promote mugging and robbery as the only viable way of income. From the motorbikes, to raiding fishing tugboats, hence all the rules have been placed. We had it all from highwaymen (Yes, blocking a car in traffic, hopping out and dragging driver out was a thing too).up to modern pirates here. Seems people here don't know the roleplaying aside from server rules has another common courtesy rule. Of course this one cannot be enforced, but throughout various communities, it is rather simple "Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD". Using the real life argument doesn't help much, simply because in real life, Los Angeles population is in millions. On the server it is limited only to players online currently. Which basically means any player can become a victim of mugging at any given time.
