Luck, as you stated, and as I mentioned before, I've been a lawyer in this server for a few years now and I still struggle to pass without a good dose of luck. This is indeed a contradictory statement. If it is difficult because of the wording and multiple correct answer questions, it's not tough, it's broken. Do you not see how this is essentially stating that there would be a difference in the pass rate if the questions were fixed? If people fail on legitimate questions because of their failure to understand the law, then yeah, they simply need to learn the laws surrounding it.

This to me is ridiculous, surely you all follow the same guideline for judging good cause? How can a reason that has been valid once possibly suddenly be invalid just because someone else on the team is havi g a bad day that day and feels like being a harsher judge? This I do agree with to an extent, but only to the extent that the questions are well written and understandable, not designed to trick and trip up the player with multiple correct answers.

This to me is an incredibly political answer in that it does nothing to answer the primary concerns of this thread. Nothing has been mentioned regarding the good cause necessity for the CCW. And nowhere in this response have you addressed the issue that the exam has broken questions that include multiple correct answers. You also have not answered how your ticket system may likely mean a person fails their exam because while you do answer their question, the answer may come too late and the exam will have either expired, or the applicant pressed on without the help they asked for out of fear of this expiry. While I would agree that these issues are an IC problem, as you have stated, they are approved by LFM, bringing it into the OOC area for discussion. Another way this falls into the OOC area is that trying to get something like this resolved is not a realistic in character thing, as such an exam in this condition would be scrutinized by a great many people and flaws would be discovered much easier. I also agree that you do have to have a good knowledge of the law, and how the server works. Yet, having played a lawyer in this server for a number of years, I still struggled with questions on this exam. Along side this, I have also heard from members of the LSPD and LSSD who also struggled to answer questions on this exam for their characters/ Does that mean that LSPD and LSSD have officers that don't know the law? I don't think it does, I think it shows that the exam questions are in serious need of revision. In response to you asking for this thread to be closed, I kindly ask that it not be, and that players be allowed to voice their concerns for their legal roleplay. With such a focus on LEO and Illegal RP in almost every other aspect of GTAW, please allow the legal characters to have an area of discussion for a long overdue issue.

The exam very much seems to be designed to trip you up and force a fail.

The exam has bee broken for so long, I doubt FLD will do something without being forced to do so. I imagine it has been reported many many many times. On top of that, the questions are immediately taken away after completing the exam, meaning you have to accept failing the exam on that attempt to report the questions as you will run out of time. However, even if you report the question, and get an answer, the next time you do the exam, the questions you reported may be replaced with other broken questions from the question bank.

Despite the fact that by a stroke of luck I managed to pass the exam on my second try. I can feel the frustration and anger behind this suggestion. The exam itself is incredibly poorly written, with many questions indeed having multiple correct answers, leaving you with the only option being to guess and hope you picked the same correct answer as whoever wrote the exam. Unfortunately, it has been this way for a long time, and most legal players who either have a CCW or have applied for one, have also begged for this to be changed. I have heard so many grievances from friends and other players about the exam. At the moment, the server often caters heavily to the illegal side, with illegal characters having the ability to obtain a firearm mere minutes after becoming a character. That is simply the way the server is, and it is not meant to bash on illegal RPers in any way. But it very much does feel very unfair and as though legal characters are punished for being legal characters with things such as the CCW exam.

Detailed Description A very simple suggestion, add a 2 or 3 second delay on the locking and unlocking of any doors to account for the action of putting a key in the door and locking/unlocking it. Note: I DON'T think this delay should be added to cars as most cars these days have central locking and can be unlocked/locked at the push of a button. Relevant Commands/Items None, just the addition of a time delay. How will it benefit the server? As it currently stands, it is possible to instantly unlock your home, poof inside, then instantly lock your door, leaving no chance for any sort of RP surrounding a chaser reaching the door at the same time and getting a foot in the door or even managing to follow the chased person inside. A short delay would account for the tine it actually takes to unlock a door with a key and allow for this RP to happen. The idea for this has come from seeing the below report and knowing it is likely not the only incident of its kind.

+1, would love to see this, especially seeing an Up 'n' Atom Pizza Planet truck.

Username: INK3D Comment: I mean, what does the local senate actually affect in this town anyway? I can't think of one thing they have done that has had an affect on the streets. Any action they try to take that would effect any real change is always struck down by some higher power anyway.
