First things first is I don't want a server wipe, and I wasn't suggesting a server wipe, I was suggesting things that could revamp the server Without a wipe also I'm glad instead of contributing ideas and opinions it's already turned into a fuckfest of a comment section.

Sorry, did you only read the parts in bold? because you've just said EXACTLY what I was saying. I said that wipe should only be used as a last resort if the server was dying, then after I said its not dying This post was bottom line my opinion on the state of things, and a few ideas that I personally think would make things more interesting/appealing. shh calm down bb i lof u

!!!Clickbait Alert!!! @Rogue I say wipe on a comment and you make a post about it... you just want attention rogue, its okay. Anyways now for my extremely unwanted and likely unpopular opinion.. Through my times on this server I've found that when I have a low amount of money i'm forced into doing runs, while this can be extremely boring its a bit of an "adrenaline" rush knowing how dangerous it could be when there is A LOT of players online wanting to rob me however, lately I've found myself at a.. eh.. better financial status, so I've become the robber. Alongside robbing (or attempting to rob) players doing runs, I've done feds, jails, and blackwaters. While the blackwater is the new and cool thing to do I feel we need something more to revamp the server (and i'll get back to this later.) Anyways you may have noticed that I left one thing out of the list of things to do aside from runs, this being cartels! Yes I know cartels are a big thing for everyone on this server however lately they have seemed very.. bland so to speak. Its very repetitive for me, constantly buying loadouts going to the cartel fighting, and in the event of winning leaving only to have the opponents that lost come back whilst i'm off doing other things prompting me to go back, possibly dying or just repeating the cycle. Even though the general mechanics of cartels have been bland for me, its not just that. Its the scenery, its the strategies that have been used used again and re-used. Maybe we need something new. I know there are currently other cartels being worked on (or so I've been told.) And I love that idea. But I propose an Idea. I know that there are quite a few gangs who will be upset and say that i'm dumb, retarded, or whatever insult they can come up with because they LOVE moonshine cartel and never want it to go away. Well I respect your opinion however the Idea i've had is a sort of "seasons" for cartels so to speak. The idea would be having a rotation of 3 cartels at different locations where maybe they would change every month or 3 months or half a year or whatever. But this way it wouldn't be the same repetitive cartel fights. I dream of people coming back to the server just because they are excited for the next rotation. Also another big part of this is that not only are they the SAME CARTELS but I also find that its the SAME PEOPLE. For me, its always VX or ZF and it gets old however I feel that not only will the cartel rotation prompt gangs to come back to the server, but it will be more acceptable to be fighting the same people in different situations. This is one of the ideas that I have with regards to cartels and revamping the server. Another Idea I have, is to add more content to the server. Nothing big or too exciting, just more things to do.. one of them I've been thinking about is Banks! Yeah, I know its been done before on other servers and its a bit played out.. but in my experience when i'm in a robbing mischievous mood and I can't find things to rob I like to fight the cops. And a lot of situations with fighting cops include (but are not limited to) Gas station robberies, Jail breaks, Federal reserve robberies, and blackwater.. These are the "events" so to speak for gangs to do (lowest obviously being gas station robberies, they only made it onto the list for the point i'm about to make.) Now lets say you would like to rob something, but you don't want to rob civs. Your options are literally in this order, Gas station robbery --> Federal reserve robbery --> Blackwater armory robbery. There is no in between with gas stations, only needing 1- POSSIBLY 3 people (assuming you don't have large weapons and heavy armor) and a federal reserve that you need at the least a coordinated team of 6-10 people, Not to mention needing 5 cops online. Now lets talk about values quickly, Gas station robberies seem to net anywhere between 20k low and 50k high, Federal reserver robberies net somewhere from say 800k-4m (not sure exact values i think they depend on amount of cops on.) I believe that the bank could potentially serve as a "middle man", possibly needing 3 cops online, somewhat defend-able and netting somewhere between 150-400k. This way gangs who have a general low population, or gangs that just don't have many members online can still participate in "the big events" without needing to recruit more "pawns." Now with regards to my wipe comment I don't want a wipe, I personally believe that a wipe is a LAST RESORT for when the server population is truly dying. Well its not, The server is in a really good state population and activity wise, however I do believe that Gang Life is dying. Now my ideas are mainly to pump gang life, not only to promote old gangs to come back, or inactive gangs to "reactivate" but to promote new gangs to come, seeing that there are more events to do that are targeted towards smaller gangs. The blackwater outpost was a cool idea and I like it, however it takes a LARGE skilled gang to pull it off.. I feel a lot of the ideas lately have been targeted towards bigger gangs, but I think that's the wrong direction. I think we need to target the smaller groups of people, because not only would small gangs be able to do these newer things, it would also give the larger gangs things to do. At this point i'm just rambling on due to being extremely tired and because I should probably be sleeping, but I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this, and I hope that you understand that these are just my opinions, and that I don't mean to offend anyone or prompt any sort of fight over my comments. PS: Rogue you attention whore I love you.

Wipe.

I like the gang tags one to an extent, i've always found an issue with yelling out "Guys I just got engaged by dash dash slash backslash dash dash at least if you're going to use a tag like that use a letter that directly correlates to the gang tag IE: --/A\-- you seeee? now i can tell my gang members i got engaged by fancy a
