legal/cop role-players can't get shit they'd normally get because it makes the illegal community mad

Uh...cops have like everything, and yes the illegal community gets mad because until The Great Debate we had no eyes on us. Idk whatchu mean cops cant get shit, they can literally ANYTHING they want. This is the only part of your thread i kind of dont agree iwth

I truly hope whatever Rockstar does with GTA 6 (or some other community) moves the RP scene the fuck out of LA County/West Coast so all the realism crusaders can't use the same "research" they've been doing since 2013 and try to justify it as accurate. This is not to say I'm against the expectation of realistic role-play by any stretch of the imagination but some of it never adds up and you get people referencing very stupid things because "IRL".

 

The whole "realistic role-play" mantra should be as realistic as playable not as realistic as possible because otherwise it just makes the game stupidly unfun for just about everybody playing it.

 

And I'll give you an example: the tl;dr of social life in Los Santos for everyon is you can't offensively call someone a bitch but you can kill eachother over netbanging because the concession goes "well you can't do a bunch of things so we'll let you kill each other over dumb shit." Roasting someone IC will get you killed more than literal crime will.

GTAW 2019 vs. GTAW 2022 is a very stark contrast of how this server became hugely regulated for no good measure. For some reason it's the administration's belief that they need to write paragraphs upon paragraphs of rulebreaking precedents in in game rules instead of literally nothing.

 

There are disproportionate standards thrown around for no reason — illegal role-players can't rob on a dirtbike because some weirdos can't RP and the staff would rather make rules around that than ban offenders; legal/cop role-players can't get shit they'd normally get because it makes the illegal community mad (it is incredibly fucking frustrating to deal with Property Management, for example, and justify legit finances, California Taxes, and a bunch of X is Y because Z because you're a cop RPer and "it looks bad if PD/SD/SFM/PR has ...")

 

Literally no one cares, just let people enjoy the game, and enforce rules on those who clearly don't give a fuck anyway. You know who the rulebreakers are. You know who the common violators are. There's usually the same names persistently in Player Reports, Faction Reports, and whatever else.

 

And you know why? Because with some server openings on the horizon, it's my unpopular opinion that people are fed up, tired with "voided RP", tired with rules upon rules upon rule precedents of some rules because Money Davis or Robo Cop did something, and GTAW is gonna lose players in the face of communities who don't strictly regulate what people do and just reactively deal with the reports on bad actors instead. I understand you need to uphold a standard and I don't blame anyone for that. But you're being role-play police for no reason sometimes.

REAL SHIT

[eTaylor]

Drug characters and most homeless characters are always praised as unique epic roleplayers doing amazing stuff. But in reality 90% of then are horrible surface roleplayers and clout chasers who end up doing more damage than people realize. The vast majority base their entire character on a DEA drug prevention PSA from 1991, and are almost always young hot females DTF for a “quick fix”. The rest are bald Euro-Nazis who “1488” everywhere they go because the Method-man told them to. Some people are just walking YouTube videos.

Most people who pose as experts and OOC'ly explain everyone how a business is realistically managed, never managed anything and have no idea how super basic shit (like company debt, LLC funding, etc.) actually work. 

(plot twist: in the real world, for most companies, even small ones, it's more profitable to remain in debt all the time than to pay it back - and the banks will love you for it)

• There should be cat ears for males.
• We need jeans with even bigger butts.
• People should be able to just go to a closed mechanic and use the menu to upgrade their cars without needing to RP it.
• Highway Patrol, FBI, ATF, DEA, Secret Service and the Thot Patrol should be added as LEO factions.  Upgrade Port Authority to be law enforcement faction, too.
• Cars should just autodespawn whenever somebody says "texture loss" in /b.
• Coyote packs should spawn randomly in the city at night, with aggression set to high.
• Speed cameras at all junctions which automatically take $500 out of your account if you go above 60MPH.
• Property is removed without warning if you don't spend at least one hour per day actively roleplaying inside of it (property management tasked with visiting each house ICly to check).
• Guns will jam if you don't buy a brush and type /usebrush [id] after firing it.  Brushes can only be gotten from suppliers.

Nervous should be forced to spawn into the server as a panda.

People that wanna rp as a (M) should submit an application for it.
