Tier 3 should be for staff Sergeant imo. They don't need tier 4. Civ council and some of staff think this will help the server. I'm all for trying it, we can always go back.
Sergeants have t4 and Lt+ have tier 5. There's also 30+ corporals playing far more hours than Senior APD. The issue is that civ council and others feel the corporal rank is a little op. The vest should've been changed back a year ago.
The nerf for the money was my idea after speaking with civ council, then speaking Senior APD we sought to hit those with the least risk of loss the most. Corporal and higher have a higher chance of loss, so that's why you were hit the lightest. I can't remember the last time I made money on cop as a Senior. If I do by the end of the week I'm back to where I was. Corporals make more than half the money that all Deputies and PO's make, pretty crazy tbh. 15% and a vest isn't going to be killer.
Seniors are seldom the cause of nerfs, now it's happened. Think about camping houses, warzone raids etc. We think about how Junior APD will be affected. And honestly, having 10 cops on with a 50 pop server isn't good for anyone. Cops ride around and do nothing and civs log off because they can't do anything. In the end this is a attempt to increase the amount of people playing civ and reduce the amount of people only playing cop to get money. If you're a career cop you'll be fine, but if you plan on always playing cop to get money for civ, you're going to have a bad time.
I don't really agree with that. Yes, you are restricted in making money. However, when you do you can make a bunch on cop.
