They probably have to advertise it like that for efficiency. Grab as much attention as possible in one go, or they'll risk spamming ads. There's a lot of roleplay jobs available but people will always be drawn to buying/flipping. Doing an rp job like a bartender, security, or store cashier likely doesn't go with the "rich salesman" look they're probably trying to achieve with their character. Either way, car salesmen are a scam as old as time. Buy a couple cars that people regret buying, flip it for a little profit, reinvest it, repeat the commercials & ads. It's realistically annoying, The difference is it's a line of green text and not a commercial that runs every 20 minutes or gets junk mailed. & Instead of listing ten cheap cars, it caters to their type of audience: money to blow. want something fancy, have to buy it used because dealership price is insane, will likely regret it and sell it for cheaper later on to another dealer. Repeat!

Yes pleaseeee, for all the drugs. Heroin and cocaine are interesting but it only lasts for a minute or so.

It's worth noting that it doesn't say CRIMINALS, just gang members. Yes, if we're talking realism, you'd be completely fine to do whatever you want. All some states do is a background check for a violent criminal record. If you're in a gang, detectives might have some kind of file tracking you, but it won't interrupt your ability to get a gun if your record is clean. Here, it's a rule because apparently gangs were using their members with clean records to be gun vending machines. The restriction seems fine IMO, because people will always abuse something like that if it's available. It's not a matter of realism, it's a matter of exploiting the system. Your character can be as shady as you want and associate with all kinds of criminals. If their record is clean and they're not IN a gang, they're free to sell off their guns and risk the IC consequences..

Los Santos doesn't exist in a black hole.. The city itself is fictional, but it's part of the US and real life events still exist & happen. I thought it's fine just like referencing real life celebrities, brands, and car models is fine. People wrote IC news articles about Brexit and that seemed a little out of place for anyone living in LS, but it was still okay. Some characters care, other's don't. This is an old post but it mentions using the real-life elements, and current events might be considered part of that?

Not sure about this. Insurance companies will just get rich off it being mandatory, like construction firms did when you HAD to go through one and pay their hefty price to get a property you requested. Just let the money keep getting removed or going to gov, since the whole road tax/insurance system seems to have been put in only so people don't drive expensive sports cars everywhere. In real life there's many agencies, rates, and competition. But you'd have several different options, liability insurance being the only mandatory one, and then all the comprehensive options that cover any damage you cause to your own car. They can't reasonably offer that here, no one's going to care about the different benefits of each company. They would all be the same and people would be choosing the cheapest option every time, there would be nothing the companies could compete over, other than their rates. I haven't had a single use for insurance other than not getting arrested. Has anyone actually destroyed their car and have had to pay to get it back? Also, you can get almost all vehicle insurance things done online in a matter of minutes. You don't have to go into an office to pay it, or sign up, or even to send the paperwork to the DMV when you switch companies. It's almost all on your phone.

++ Everything said here already. If it's bothering you, so what? They're spending their time doing something and staying out of your way IG. And if they happen to hop IG frequently as well, perfect. Editing pictures doesn't affect anyone's rp quality. People will do on any form of social media, no matter what. You can use Photoshop & FaceApp without ever needing Menyoo. Just a tip though, there is desync with faces. If someone looks vastly different from their pics, politely ask them to do /hat on and the face values should sync properly.

Okay, understanding better now. If it's just a matter of legal classifications, then by all means, change PK's to Attempted Murder. It'd work out as long as the party that actually got scriptly killed has no recollection of it. They can avoid their past murderer by learning about the person's record/attempted murder charge via the public court system that's now even being broadcasted on social media. The same people with several murder charges would just be walking around with a record loaded with Attempted Murder charges instead. Though, I'm sure there'll be less of this going around with the more DM-hungry characters rp'ing in the prison to come. - Seems like the second point was a misunderstanding then and can be dismissed. But if someone ate an entire magazine to the chest and head and were scriptly killed and not just downed, with no immediate medical attention, I'd consider it powergaming and metagaming if they survived it and went on to be questioned.

I'm honestly not sure how to make a better system than the one we have now. It can be confusing, it can be messy, and it definitely makes things complicated with court and criminal records. However, if a character gets killed because of a random situation such as a drive by or a carjacking gone wrong, I don't feel like classifying it as a CK would be fair to the person who put countless time and effort into that character. And classifying it as an "attempted murder", and creating the odd reality where an actual death is written off as "maybe they died, maybe they didn't" creates an even BIGGER grey area that would lead to more confusion, and more reports. Can the victim that was, in fact, murdered recall ANY information about the event? Can they be questioned for the details of the "Attempted Murder" case? We can't have every actual murder turn into a CK, because then the server will be full of short-lived, replaceable characters that have little depth and little development. Yes, plenty of characters will continue to live long lives because they don't get out much, don't really interact outside of a certain circle, they properly rp fear and comply, or are just lucky enough not to get thrown into a situation with someone who's just hungry to DM. The GtaW murder rate is FAR higher than any realism would allow, and I think people would just be CK'd left and right, to stop the victim from speaking to the cops. TLDR, having a PK count as an attempted murder seems even messier and more confusing to court/criminal cases than the system we have now. And all kills being CKs will make it a much more hostile environment, with a lot more disposable, lackluster characters.

I feel like counting a PK as an "attempted murder" and letting the murdered party walk around with full knowledge of what happened, is a bit.. weird? Right now the vagueness behind a PK accommodates & allows people to work the details out. If people had the common decency to talk to each other after a PK to sort out what the character would forget, it wouldn't be so confusing. A PK should be a PK. The victim is removed from the situation, and used as a nameless dead person in any further interactions or police/court matters, but the person can walk around on a "new life" as if they'd never known their murderer. Yes, there will be awkward run-ins, but it's still a "conditional" death in my opinion. Your character died because of a bad situation, bad luck, or to be removed from something, that wouldn't completely ruin that character. Listing it in court/criminal proceedings as an 'attempted murder', when detectives likely found the body or evidence of it, also seems like a confusing reality. Maybe if you get arrested for a PK, and charged for murder, you ALSO get PK'd from that situation/"life", since your character would realistically go in for 10+ years? And a CK is a CK, and a perma-death to the character, because something happened in their storyline that got them killed, and it would make a lot of holes in the development to have them suddenly "forget" whatever caused them to get murdered.

This argument has been brought up a thousand times, been beaten like a dead horse a thousand times, and repeated. Your complaint about it stems from a video that a friend made, with his character driving up to work, or what you call a “party” at the construction site. Most of the NPCs there were in uniform, eating, on their break, on a HUGE skyscraper construction site that would realistically be busy and populated just like that. It’s not powergaming to make the city seem alive, like it should be. Now, it’s a different problem when you’re spawning in some ridiculous car, weapons, etc for pictures when you don’t own it IC or have any means to borrow it. THEN it could be considered powergaming.

+1 Pleaseeee more cats & cat anims. ♥ The sleeping ones are actually too adorable.

Bump & +1, for the love of god. It happens once a year but if you have several characters, it'll be a major annoyance. On top of it all, the test is outdated and does not account for how you can legally drive through green lights now, and DON'T have to stop at every intersection. And WHY does it make you drive to the top of the parking lot structure and talk about parkour? That part is funny, but is pointless and annoying after doing it on all your characters (so that you don't accidentally fuck up, forget later on, and get thrown in jail.)

here, I fixed it.

This seems like a bug, actually. The server had an update at some point that prevented you from using /vpark on a vehicle if it had guns inside it. It distinguished guns/lockpicks/etc and wouldn't let you /vpark in that case. It'd only let you if it was empty or had basic food/bags/other items in it, not weapons or lockpicks. Just tried it and it let me vpark with a gun in the car. Yeah, that's broken unless it was reversed on purpose.

It's 50/50. Some people just like Menyoo for the art of it. If you try it once and get into it, it's a fun sandbox to play with. Any time allotted to playing with Menyoo is likely time that they wouldn't have spent on the server anyway. I personally play with it when I have time but can't RP because I might have to leave at any moment. It doesn't detract from the server. +Don't forget that faces are still bugged. Whenever someone enters your area or the interior that you're in, some of their face values are desynced unless they do /hat on religiously for every person. That's an OOC bug that I've seen taken IC in many situations. No, not everyone is trying to fake their character appearance. Though some people just like playing with Photoshop and they'd do that without Menyoo anyway. I don't much mind the thought of people using Menyoo to 'trespass' into houses like Madrazo's & Michael's pool because of the server limitations as well. Your characters have backstories that you can't rp all the time. It shouldn't be a problem if a picture is taken somewhere fancy or with a pool for the sake of some backstory to where they come from, family, financial situation, or what their character portrayal is. After all, people use the same argument towards money. Broke, ghetto characters can have 500k+ in the bank, that doesn't mean they have to alter their character portrayal to suddenly be rich, they can just keep it as an OOC tool. Your character can have a single property and car and still have much more to their story than their IG assets. It's only a problem if they're flaunting drugs, guns, and cars they don't have access to, and creating an entirely fake life for themselves as if they're on GTA Online.

That was absolutely worth the read. Thanks for some of the vivid descriptions that I need to get out of my head now. ?

I used to see boosted posts at least 2 weeks old and sometimes 2 months old. That part is very annoying. Aside from the posts that are left boosted for far too long, the use of it shouldn’t be that much of a problem. People on sites like FB and Instagram pay to have their content suggested to more people, though the sites are a lot more sneaky about fitting it into your regular news feed & “new content” pages. Those posts don’t have to be strictly promotional/business related content either because everyone tries to be a model on real social media and getting more views allows sponsorships and things like that. We have the same thing happening in character on FB and that seems like a realistic issue. Also the criminal stuff does get handled by PD. It just looks like it doesn’t. Real dealers advertise the drugs they sell on social media & apps like snapchat so again, more realism, even if it bothers you.

I feel like it should all be lowered to the 2% rate or even a little less. Honestly. The expensive cars will still cost more even if the rate is lowered, but they'll be slightly more affordable. The class system could be rendered useless so the insurance prices directly reflect the cost of the car, not what category it's in. Though a month by month basis still seems like the best option in case you know you won't drive a particular car, or be on a particular character. More options are great, and discounts if you pay for a longer insurance period would be a blessing.

This thing's actually amazing & it's nice seeing how the server pop went up. ♥

I like using the in-game car manufacturers personally. but if the car looks similar to an existing car IRL, there's nothing wrong with using that instead. You'll probably spend 1% of your time, ever, saying 'Oh my car's a ______' or using the name in a /me. It's a ridiculously small issue to obsess about.. and been brought up time and time again. https://forum.gta.world/en/index.php?/topic/7111-using-real-life-brandmodel-names-in-game/&do=findComment&comment=55199 As far as anything else, using all existing brands & lore brands simultaneously seems fine. It's harmless & absolutely pointless to single out things that might not be in-game due to the limited time, copyright paperwork, & resources that the game devs had.

Completely against this. If you drive and get pulled over by a cop, YOU get to pay the fees. YOU get the license points. Realistically, the only thing a company cares about your driving record for is their car insurance. If they put you on their company policy as an occasional driver, they want a clean record or it might raise their insurance. However, it wouldn't cost nearly as much as a few GTAW fines,

I'm supporting a version like this instead. That sensor system was way too expensive to keep using or spread through all of LA. But a "Gunshots heard" notification that pops up if you're within a 3 block radius sounds doable, and it'd promote PD actually patrolling. It also keeps it fairly balanced and gives gangs a chance to dip, or get lucky that no cops were around and no one in the area was that surprised by the sound to call 911.
