Big no from me, robberies are already terribly role-played. The reason some people carry high amount of money is because of the inflated money on the server. It costs you a few hundreds just to fuel up a car. And I can only imagine that the already badly roleplayed trucker robberies at the docks would go up. 

I agree. 
 

I got robbed 3 times in a timespan of 1 hour with literally 20-30 seconds RP. I had no chance to role play at all and normally realistically the docks would be flooded with security but nowadays people do not care for it anymore. If people actually RP it out and invest time in their robberies I don’t mind giving up 5K everytime but this is blatantly ridiculous how it happens by the majority of the playerbase.

I'm afraid this situation would devolve just as you mentioned in a previous thread. The RP surrounding petty theft would become so borderline overused, the RP from it would become even more lazy and half-assed and I'm sure quality of RP would continue to decrease further. Robberies would in fact increase just on the simple fact of the limit being raised. It'll bring out all the script grinders and I personally believe it would make this problem worse, rather than better. When you remove the OOC issues of carrying cash all the time, robberies would basically become about stealing phones/objects rather than money. I don't think the limit removal would improve this area of RP at all. It would simply increase the amount of low quality situations that happen surrounding it.

I agree that robberies would increase from the removal (or increase) of a limit from the p2w players.  I can't remember what features or possible rules that the administration rolled out some time ago but they approached it from a similar way of "we'll do it like this for a few weeks and see if we can go further with it or not", I don't think it'd hurt to try to increase the limit just to see how it'd play out, doesn't need to be 25k like I mentioned earlier, it could be just 10k.  They could easily revert the rule back if it became a shit show so at worst it'd be a few weeks of increased annoyance but it'd help give data to staff on how else they could possibly attack this issue. 

 

Also, I wanna reiterate that with the issue with players carrying money OOCly, I think it'd be good for some features like furniture but you couldn't make it for everything otherwise nobody would carry cash on them but at the same time, I don't think its a negative if they turned to stealing objects rather than money since robberies aren't always about cash.  Some examples I can think of where you wouldn't need to change it is buying items from any business, buying gas, used car dealerships and taxi services (never used a taxi on the server so idk if it uses bank money or not already).

This limit will be deprecated after the economy update which we are on the final stage of development.

Cash money will become almost useless unless you're an illegal player, and you'll do everything by card. Cash money will be an item in your inventory and people will be able to rob it completely, 5k or more. Same in houses, cars, or wherever you stash it.
