  1. Detailed Description Before we start I really want to put up a disclaimer: I fully understand that donator features are there to keep the server paid for and running, and I do not wish to change that. Donator perks are necessary but I believe they are often best kept for cosmetic perks mostly, removing a functional paid feature such as this one doesn't mean that you can't bring a paid cosmetic feature in exchange, cats and dogs, custom numbers and plates are a good example of a cosmetic perk which isn't necessary for RP. I implore you to read through my points before jumping to conclusions about this suggestion. Business blips and /bad are one of the most important assets of the server, they allow people to create RP hotspots and bring their own ideas to life, yet they are hidden behind a donator perk. The reason this is a bad thing, is that it's effectively limiting the amount of visible businesses on the map to that of active donators owning said businesses. Those donators will most likely want to own bars, clubs, casinos because these businesses are the most profitable. I don't blame them for wanting to make profit, but I believe this is at fault for the lack of variety in the business scene there currently is on the server, especially during early hours where the player count is 200-300 where there could still be a reasonable amount of RP going on. We do have different businesses such as art galleries, a few odd clothing and accessories/perfume stores here and there, yet these are not as common and popular as they should be and them standing less out means they're struggling as it is, now imagine not having access to a blip and being practically invisible to people. We need bars, we need clubs, and we need casinos, but these are not the only businesses that are needed to create RP, even during the evening/night. I've heard countless business ideas that were great, but ultimately were not put into practice because it turned out not to be profitable for the player who has to invest OOC money into it, which is a shame because this effectively decreases creativity with businesses in favor of the most profitable options. Again, wanting profit is understandable, but it should not get to the point where people are constrained to a specific type of RP because other options are not available/visible. The point here is ultimately to bring choice to players. People should be able to choose where they want to RP without having to rely solely on a handful of people that are sticking to the same business formulas solely because of profit. - Think of it this way, currently, during peak hours, let's say you have maybe 4-5 clubs/bars open through the whole map, and 3 or so businesses related to something else. What if you could double or triple that number, except with a wider variety of businesses which would allow the playerbase to spread out more on the map? Relevant Commands/Items N/A. How will it benefit the server? - You would see a surge in a wide range of both day time and night time related businesses. - You would encourage more people to be creative with the businesses they want to make, instead of bringing a focus on profit alone, they could afford thinking out of the box more, instead of having to stick to a business formula that almost guarantees their success. - By allowing people to get more creative with their businesses, you would spread out people more on the map which could in turn make Paleto bay, Grapeseed, Sandy Shores more relevant in the RP scene because it would no longer be constrained to profitable business options only. This won't make the server a barren wasteland, in fact I could argue that it will make it a little more lively, as people will be inclined to move from A to B, to C to even D, instead of strictly from A to B when going places, because there would be more choice available to them. Here's an example of an A to B: "Hey, you want to have a drink? There's like 4 bars open right now, let's go to the closest one." "Yep. Let's go." Here's an A to B to C to D example: "Hey dude, the bowling alley is open in Sandy, you want go to there? We could go to that new escape room in Vinewood after if you feel up for it, maybe grab a drink after that?" "Hell yeah man, I'll head home real fast let's meet at [opened fast-food joint] when I'm done preparing. Kinda wish the arcade was still a thing though." - Clubs and bars will still be just as present and popular, but they won't be one of the only main choices that people have. If people want to go to bars and clubs for RP, having a few more other businesses on the map will not change their willingness to go to these clubs and bars if that is where they want to go. All in all, I don't really see any real downsides brought to the RP scene with this, it would allow for more accessibility and a wider range of choice for people to both create and participate in all kinds of RP. At the very least, if you don't want the entirety of these functions to be free, make them limited to users, for example only a limited amount of /bad per day, or something that still allows them to be visible at the very least. Thank you for reading.
