Removal of /bad for donators

Remove /bad from donator perks and make it available to everyone.

 

Detailed description:

 

We have all scrambled last minute to find a donator so that they can do a /bad for our business, whether its a restaurant, club, bar, book store, etc. I feel that this server is really good managing donators and making it not a P2W (Pay-to-Win). But this perk gives donators an IC advantage over non donators. In order for your blip to show on the map and have people easily navigate to your business, you need to pay. This limits a lot of the community in their pursuit to becoming successfull business owners. Some people can't afford to spend 15 euros a month in order to advertise their business on the map, which is really important to the success of a business in GTA World. If your business doesn't have a blip on the map... barely anyone is going to find out about it.

 

I think that this would be a big hit for Nervous, since I feel that this is one of the main perks that people look for in donator packages, which would reduce sales, BUT, it limits the RP capability of some players, giving advantage to those who pay.

 

So what can you guys do about it? Instead of making it a donator perk, you can drastically increase the price that the /bad costs. If you want a blip in your map, maybe pay $1,500 dollars for it, or a value that you guys think should be fair but expensive. This will level out the playing field, and allow people who can't donate, to compete with those that can. A RP server shouldn't limit your RP capabilities by making it P2W. /bad being a donator perk does limit the RP capabilities of players, as they cannot attract enough players to their business, to earn money.

 

 

Commands to add:

Items to add:

 

None

 

How would your suggestion improve the server?

 

I pretty much detailed it above, but long story short, it will allow any player to compete with each other without having to invest real money into the server. Increase overall RP quality.

Flex items such as number change, or plate change, are fine, and they do not give you a competitive advantage over others, but this does. This gives you the ability to earn more money than someone else by exposing yourself more, also it shows up on discord.

This gets suggested like every two weeks. The answer isn't going to change. 

 

I get it that it gets suggested often, and that is very important. People want change. So we should just not silence ourselves, but keep pushing for change.

Make an ad. Send them a location ping via phone. You can make it work. /bad is a luxury for those who donate to help keep the server running. It's not the only way to get people to your business, so you shouldn't make it out to be the only way.

So you expect us to make an ad with our phone number in, WAIT for customers to take the time to message and then ping the location. Im pretty sure people wont take five minutes just trying to find the dam business.

I didn't say its the only way. You can use /gps as well. But I bet if I did a research study on the net profit of businesses with /bad and businesses without, those with /bad have much more profit.

This literally takes no time at all. Not sure why you're making it out to be some big chore lol. I used to run my bar this way with zero issues before becoming a donator to support the server. Always got the maximum $20K bonus every time I opened.
