What type of business do you feel is missing from the server?

The system may have changed over the last few years, but it's still the same system that unfortunately penalises businesses that are unique or against the norm. I see so many obscure businesses being dormant because there's not much motivation to run them.

It's not so much the business system since they do get access to government pay, it's the fact that no one goes to these unique businesses. Time and time again I've seen people on the forums clamoring for more unique businesses to open up but when people finally do so and open them up in-game, you barely see anyone going there. They last a week or two and then the owners get bored because no one ever shows up. Not sure why people would rather just go to bars or clubs, but that's how it's been. I'd say that mindset needs to change before anything else.

I agree with you on this. Similarly to the Davis High School thread, people talk about wanting something, but they don't act on that interest when something is implemented.

 

Club RP, in my OOC eyes, is just stale and overdone. I prefer outdoorsy type roleplay than being inside (mostly because the crashes are getting on my nerves now) so I doubt I can really add much of value when it comes to unique businesses.

Without delving too much off-topic, outdoor public gatherings also get a bad rap because no one has any chill in this game 🤣 More often than not, someone's ego gets hurt and innocent people get shot. Happened recently with that beach event. Someone just showed up on a bike with a mask and started shooting. It leaves a bad taste in people's mouths when it happens so often. Wish people would just chill out and have a good time every once in a while instead of taking everything so personally lol

You're right again, but that is a tough issue to tackle. It's down to who's accepting these people into the server in the first place.

That’s not an issue necessarily with the individuals who engage in these acts at public places, it’s because events and/or large gatherings are so money oriented they’re willing to disregard things like dress codes and attitudes if it means letting a gang walk into a club with an extra 5k in their pockets. Literally, all you’d have to do is implement things like a dress code or deny entry to larger groups (just like in real life); and the issues of brawls and shootings at large events would be resolved.
 

When you focus on money, you stop focusing on the quality of the roleplay.

Not exactly 'missing' from the server, just not as common as I'd like it to be. Just more arcades. Arcades are fun. Especially when you win prizes and you get plushies. Arcades really fit my character, it's a shame there's only like 2-3 arcades I know of that open every now and then. And if I'm not mistaken, the server has updated to include the Casino Heist update from GTA Online that changes some building exteriors to look like Arcades. So it shouldn't be too hard for people to just make one of those into an active business. I know Pixel Pete has already done just that, I am grateful for it. I'd still like to see more arcades spread around the map though.

As for actual businesses that are actually missing from the server that I'd like to see. Pet stores are one. Not only so we can RP buying a pet instead of just spawning one in out of thin air one day, but we can then go buy pet food and brushes and stuff. Maybe they can offer grooming services as well. That would allow for some pretty good RP, especially for those characters who own pets and really RP them being part of their character's development.

I created a pharmacy with dispensary at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately it did not go off as planned and remained a one-man-show until I closed it. But If anyone is up for the task, the pharmacy should be available through business leases.

 

I'm curious, did you receive access to medication drugs?

Gotta chime in quickly on this as it's simply wrong prejudice.

Specially for business rp more than in any other setting, finances must be taken in account (just as much if one portraits a failing business).

That doesn't mean profit-maximizing is the only valid strategy, just that taking in account the revenue is important for a business setting.

I get the argument is that we should do stuff for the rp and not for the money, but business roleplay by mandate has to evolve around money to a degree-

If I have no business plan for my ic business, my business rp is flawed to begin with, and being "creative" around it won't make up for basic lacks.

That developing a successful business plan is fairly easy and you need more thought and effort to portrait a struggling business is a different matter and out of question, but it's easily possible just as much (just raise your expenses ic if the profit is too high for your taste).
