Unpopular Opinion: The Thread

[DasFroggy]

If someone is found out to have intentionally lied to a member of staff in an attempt to avoid punishment for rulebreaking behavior, it should result in an immediate ban.

 

They're not here for the wellbeing of the server if they intend to deceive the people that run it.

Unless you play an American, Canadian or someone from South American as you main character, you honestly should not be out the mocking "people who play British characters." It is so toxic and unpleasant and seem to be an acceptable bullish insult to swing. Maybe there used to be a lot more British, but these days it seems like most characters are either Eastern European, Albanian or Japanese, which isn't a criticism, a lot of modern cities has a large influx of foreigners, but when those same players are pointing fingers at the brits because they are affecting immersion while speaking [Russian] ig, it is a bit silly.

Not everyone who roll up their very first character as being from their native country, is doing so because they are poor roleplayers who is only playing themselves. Choosing to come from somewhere familiar does not mean it also affect the characters personality. People pick their native or a neighbouring country because until you immerse yourself in the game world, this is an easy background that they know they can act out with ease, and when it is their first, it tends to be the character that 'sometimes' stick around the longest.

In summery: Be nice to people. Stop judging others. Stop beating this old dead joke, it is tired and not productive.

stop posting popular opinions that seem unpopular only because 70% of the roleplayers on GTAw barely understand the concept of RP then!!! it's not unpopular to separate IC and OOC and basic shit like that omfg!!!! that's called not being shit!!!!!!!!! an unpopular opinion is something like requiring u ERP for 200 hrs to apply!!

So it's not just me that thinks people that have been caught lying on a report and only get a warning / 30 minute admin jail is insane? Nice.

Allowing players to RP IRL gangs/MCs/organizations has increased toxicity and lowered the quality of illegal RP, promoting laziness and a lack original concepts. The majority of conflicts between factions are OOC with members LARPing as if they're members of said factions IRL, it's very strange.

 

Bonus: If meme posts are the majority of what you post on your faction/group thread, you're not a sufficient faction. If a faction can be closed from mere inactivity on their thread alone, unsubstantial meme posts to keep it afloat should lead to a faction being closed too.

- PD shouldn't be allowed to use voice channels during pursuits unless we allow the use of VOIP metagaming for the other half too. In our modern world there is a million ways how criminals could talk to each other in real time during a pursuit.

 

- Not roleplaying important real-life events (covid, wars, etc.) cause more harm than good because it takes away the opportunity from people to express their feelings.

 

- The jailtime people receive for crimes is way too low, not even in the right ballpark.

 

- The mapping team doesn't get enough love and recognition.

 

- There should be an option to buy dogs/cats for a fixed price instead of a monthly fee.

 

I agree with all of these, especially the second and fourth points.

The "vehicle lease" thing is bullshit and should be removed.
