I mean it was implemented because someone asked for it so you're statement is just incorrect.
Sidenote, you can always just be a pussy and soft log to get rid of them
don't worry the "buffs" we received are no match for your 500k insurance ghosthawks, 800k insurance planes, and free loadouts, I'm sure you'll continue to make great use of these!
pov cops have had mar10s for how fucking long and you're complaining about them being made buyable by civs for 20x the price cops pay (not including cop discounts!)
The rule for gang base was added because when cabal was a thing we would have 5+ RPGs blowing up every ifrit that tried to push and the area around gang base would be filled with easily 50 slam mines. Explosives is actually more cancer for the attackers and make it relatively easy for defenders.
Over the past 2 weeks (since I started RPGing consistantly) I've used near 2.4k warpoints, roughly $30m+ to repurchase said warpoints, I have 1/10th that in my bank so I'm risking a pretty fair amount.
IIRC APD escort is currently the only event that is off limits to RPGs and that is mainly due to the fact that there is a price tag on starting said event, Pharmas and other events are still free game.
Given the main people who RPG at feds (Myself/Kyle/Revise) don't have any form of staff points, your argument is kind of flawed here, the people who RPG have legit warpoints that were either bought or gained through conquest/killing people.
Ah yes, lets compare Aegis, to the Southern Shiners. You're essentially comparing us to less experienced gangs, or gangs with a fraction of our hours, very good argument.
