Losing assets after successful /robhouse

[Kappaurel]

No. The amount of burglaries is unrealistic as it is, there are times in the server in which we get 4 to 5 burglary alarms/calls within five minutes.

 

/robhouse was a great middle ground letting criminals do crime without harming anyone, and it should stay like that.

 

Regarding the claim of how players are "indifferent" all I have to say is that if characters took all the crime that happens and all the bodies on the street realistically? The only reasonable approach would be to move out.

 

I go on a drive through the city and find 6 bodies on the street, EVERY SINGLE DAY? And I'm moving out of there immediately.

Everything related to illegal rp on this server is based on robberies or what?

Of course not, you have enough with breaking into.

Thank you for the feedback, everyone. I also wish the cooldown was longer. Don't get me wrong, I understand the issue with the illegal side, but it's frustrating that neither law enforcement officers nor even the homeowners seem to care anymore about houses being broken into.
 

If there were a cooldown set for each house after it's robbed, I believe characters would roleplay the situation more realistically. After 10 months of constantly seeing people shrugging it off and not caring, it feels like something needs to change. I completely agree with most of your responses, but if a house is broken into, it only makes sense for people to care.

Regarding the cooldown, I think it should be 48 to 72 hours once a house has been hit. I only made this suggestion if the /robhouse script were to be changed.
 

Once again, I appreciate all the feedback on the suggestion.

You didn’t hear what anyone said then. People literally sat here and said they had the highest locks, alarms and even hired security and their house still got broken into multiple times a week. It’s not that people don’t care, it’s that nothing can be done about it. I’d rather focus on enforcing higher standards for the people breaking into the houses rather than forcing people to lose assets when it happens. Thats ridiculous. You want to single handed destroy the housing market? They'll eventually get tired of it. People will just stop buying houses and rent motels instead, then no one will be around to hire your security company.

Plus. There's not much security companies do to help protect homes. They get notified like 30 seconds before law enforcement, but even then, they can't/don't do much.

 

Why do we pay $10,000+ a month for a security firm to just stand around outside the house while the police do their investigation?

It’s like asking why Kyle Jensen stands around and clearly causing issues and cops can’t do can’t do anything about it, it’s the law, where security company can’t do much due to SHAFT code violation they can face

That has nothing to with getting clients, you can simply buy ThriftEX from hardware store 😃

 

I have already said that this would only be reasonable if /robhouse would be changed, where instead of spamming “ /me takes everything he wants” they’d be forced into a mini game like safe cracking or lockpicking or anything else that doesn’t only revolve around spamming emotes at the entrance and setting timer on your phone at 2 minutes and then dipping with 10k worth of stuff

For several reasons, this is a bad idea. One of them being that security system won't do anything, and the CCTV concept as a whole is generally flawed.

 

Cops can't do anything about it because the camera will show a "masked person wearing all black" who by the time they got there, already /outfit. There's just nothing to go from that.

 

House owners tried to care but, for the reason above, its just a fruitless effort. Why would someone lose their minds over something that is impossible to be tackled, by design? 

 

On top of that, it happens so often that even if you'd want to RP being paranoid because your house have been robbed, you'd have to throw your immersion away when it happens three times a week.

 

So, it happens too often and there's no way to solve the crime unless cops catch you on the act. Victimizing someone for a virtually "safe bet" crime isn't s good idea.
