You're rather not looking for roleplay interactions in the right way or you're playing a character that isn't interesting with boring roleplay. This isn't to say you're bad at roleplay because this can very frequently be caused by burn-out. You're very jaded, despising groups and caring about what other people do a little too much. The less time you spend being angry at people whispering and ignoring you the more time you can put into building an interesting character and finding a way to start building your own group of friends to roleplay with. Another issue might be your activity, you said you were kicked for being inactive because you have a busy schedule. Truth be told, if you're rarely active or leave for a long time people lose interest in your character completely. They find new friends and new commitments and you will become little but a phone number in their contacts list. My reccomendation is to find a career that is a low barrier to entry and also interacts with a lot of people. Bartender is an insanely good option, its very easy to get into and interacts with tens of people. You get to try and build quality roleplay with the people who hire you and also get the chance to roleplay with all the patrons which frequently leads to friendships. Factions are the best option however, I have never joined a faction and failed to build a friend group within said faction. If you struggle to make friends by doing either of those and other things then genuinly what @FOOBACCA said is probably hitting the point. You'll need to work on how to actually build relationships.

If nobody here ends up being able to help you I'd reccomend searching this error on a much larger game or cross-post on their community too as you'll have a much bigger pool to get support from verses the relatively small World community.

I respect that I'm in the minority but I've always disliked skipping time, it would be fine if the server itself weren't at a 1:1 basis. I don't think continuity is possible with time skipping, though I understand at the end of the day, it's a game. There's certain times where it's impossible to not skip time such as prison and others were skipping time can (sometimes) lead to good development. There are so many issues created by it, someone could go to prison for a big event and be released a week afterwards only for there still to be news about said event happening 7 days ago. A family member refuses to skip time when you get a promotion so you rather don't promote or become your older sisters ... older sister? There are many more, better examples of how it breaks continuity. But that's just my opinion on it, I absolutely understand that people want to tell longer term, realistic stories without needing to play years on a video game. In the end you just have to get on with your own roleplay and let others do the same, and work with the janky nature of every other person having a different timescale to you.

It's ironic that you're trying to tell @Power what he replied to whilst not being able to read yourself, the solution of the person he replied to was that "There are plenty of legal race tracks and options to race [...]" which Power tried to argue against as legal options isn't a solution to bad roleplay. The reason Power didn't address the non-roleplay is because, why is that even a discussion? It's a rule violation, it doesn't need a new solution. We have one, report them. The parts of this topic that discuss blatant non-roleplay and lag-ramming should be handled with stricter OOC enforcement as they literally break rules.

But then the few legitimate racing events held by organizations that do it correctly with medical on board (etc...) would have their roleplay gimped. So you'd have to rather look into exemptions to make it work or simply accept you'll ruin some legitimate roleplay to target the bad apples. Not to mention once again, speed is only part of the issue and doesn't fix it. And, 100MPH is still far too fast for the most populated part of the map.

This would be quite silly. Do Law Enforcement have this lock, if so—we're now to assume every street racer can evade without issue. If they do not have it then what about criminals who attempt to evade? They're now disadvantaged as they're artificially handicapped. Plus, it doesn't even resolve any issues. 100mph is still significant speed to fly through intersections with, it also has no impact on the decision to ignore yields, etc... You'd give a whole faction / group who are typically seen as the worst offenders a weird OOC boost to their cars that nobody has, nobody would ever agree to that

Even if it were possible I'm not sure it'd be a good idea, only because heterochromia is one of those rare hereditary traits that is incredibly overused in roleplay. I worry if a feature was present for it, it'd become a very common and further overused. I can see the desire for it don't get me wrong, looks cool I guess

Reading this thread I felt guilty because I'll be straight, I often don't really acknowledge intersections. This thread alone helps, I suppose at least for me it makes me realize people care about this and I'll pay more attention. For me, the roads have always been too empty for me to consider traffic roleplay but also, I've always been in a vehicle accident when I've been stopped. Somebody would run into the back, side or front of me and I thought I was the issue for slowing down or stopping. I feel like any in-character punishment would have to be rather harsh, because the majority of the time law enforcement wont witness you driving wrecklessly so if it was a reasonable punishment it wouldn't be enough. It'd have to be harsh enough so that the low chance of it happening would be enough to deter you even taking the chance. But then it could risk overly punishing those who do it with a valid (in-character) reason as a one-off. You could argue it's a roleplay quality issue, where is the person going? Is it important or time-sensitive, are they a legal character? It makes no sense for them to risk misdemeanors/felonies just to get there faster, it happens in reality sure but — it's incredibly uncommon. Though I would say what @jromjeksin is referring to is just straight-up reportable, I can't imagine a scenario where somebody is crashing luxury cars (that are not stolen) simply to evade, though then you risk being called petty for making reports.

I think this post is made purely based on the fact you're newer to the server — potentially a little naive to how things actually are. Also, based on the fact you've had a report that didn't go in your favor verses illegal roleplayers explains the accusation of "bias" against admins. I'm not entirely sure where you got the idea that admins are made up half by illegal faction management, cause they are not. I'm not here to flame cause I can understand your frustration, when I was relatively new to the server I felt the same way and had the same complaints. I barely touch the illegal scene but I've also come to learn something; the inbalance you're speaking of isn't actually true. There are plenty of admins who do nothing but legal roleplay including senior admins, the hate isn't one-sided either. I've seen over the years plenty of shade against illegal roleplayers and have you seen how many memes there are about (M) characters? Some justified but nonetheless (M) characters are majority illegal and they get a lot of flack. So this isn't a one-sided stigma against legal roleplayers on the server. My advice—not because I'm any better but genuine advice for enjoying the server is to just stop adding fuel to the fire of illegal vs legal arguments, it was mentioned early into this thread that the argument is time-sink and is just going to sap your energy to argue all day, you're just perpetuating the stereotype of legals complaining and being upset about everything. Roleplay, enjoy the game—find things you enjoy and people you enjoy roleplaying with instead of caring what others think about your roleplay.

edit: i was baited. This OP is from May and I feel like enough has been said in this topic. ill spoiler my post so it's still readable but this topic is beaten like a dead horse at this point, don't feel it needs to be discussed more tbh

Click the button below to add ✓ Worldlink to your server Now available to everyone. After successfully running for around a week in around six different GTA World servers, it seems like a utility that some sever-owners find use in. This tool is now available for free (obviously). Want it custom-tailored to your server with a message, images or want the source code? ✓ Worldlink will be hosted for free, forever by myself and maintained to a small degree, however, if you want a custom-tailored version for your server then contact me via Discord on Katie#2191. Be aware that you will be given the source files and expected to host the bot yourself if you request a tailored version. This also means you will not be connected to the main database of linked users so users can not use the ease-of-access auto-link service if they have already linked elsewhere. But the poll was negative, why release? There simply was not enough respones to gauge, I had 6 servers contact me to use ✓ Worldlink in their community and 4 people clicked 'No' on using ✓ Worldlink on the poll. Simply put, those who wish to use it contacted me and ignored the poll whereas those who didn't, used the poll. The results ended up being useless.

Introduction A small prologue, I write Discord Bots for servers on an individual basis and recently I was working on a very simple bot that allows you to link your Discord and Forum Account quickly and easily — ✓ Worldlink. The server owner wanted a way for their users to have a linked forum account and have the system automated so that they didn't have to manually ensure everyone was correctly linked. So the purpose of ✓ Worldlink was for server owners to have a clean way of checking Discord user is who on the forum and UCP. Approval This Discord Bot is neither endorsed or officially supported by GTA World. It has been mentioned to Nervous and they have stated they have no current issue with the bot nor with me posting this thread in showcase of it, or with the potential public release of it. However, this isn't to say it's approved by Nervous—just simply that they've been made aware of it and the fact that it views profiles for codes and that they have no current issue with it. What does Worldlink do? As seen in the image below, ✓ Worldlink allows server owners to set roles up that are given to users once they link their Discord and Forum Account. Server owners can then see which users are linked to what forum account to better enforce in their communities. It blocks unauthorized users who do not use World or the Forums from accessing certain parts of your server, etc. Is it easy for users? See for yourself in the example below. It takes literally two easy steps for a user to verify and once the user has verified once then they will never have to do it ever again even in new Discords. It'll be a 1-click verification for newer Discords once a user has verified. This takes as little as 30 seconds. Is it safe and do I have to be worried about my privacy? ✓ Worldlink is incredibly safe as it only requires permissions it needs to run, ✓ Worldlink does not require Administrator. And, even better; This bot requires no permissions to reading, viewing or accessing messaging and their content. When inviting the bot it will ask for no permissions relating to your messages and any Discord Developer or Bot Developer will be able to confirm without seeing its code that it completely respects your privacy. This bot only requires permissions to be able to see a single channel which is its verification channel, and even then; it still does not request permissions to read messages making it impossible for anybody to do so. Is it available to use right now? Yes and No... — this was supposed to be a single-server bot and I've expanded it to be public. For anyone who is genuinely interested, message me on Katie#2191 or reply to this thread with your Discord tag and you can become an experimental tester and have access to using the bot in your servers before release. Yes! See the blue button below.
