With my admin duties and other stuff just buzzing around, I am managing to earn approx 2500-3000$ with trucking
Mostly the income seems to be based on the effective driving/planning routes/being lucky with cargo locations/timing... and well, people not bothering me
If cops saw me doing what I did, the income would've been quite smaller xd
So far suggestions for a fair amount of cash to reach per hour are:
Commander CJ - At least 5000$ per hour or 6000$ to 7000$ by switching jobs efficiently
I don't see the current economy the problem. I just see the way of getting the money a problem.
I feel that players/citizens should depend on the government jobs, not that fireman is useless to a normal Citizen. So why having "fake" missions if you can have real ones? I explained more in the spoiler.
Same goes for mafia, you should depend on them getting black market guns and such.
Read if you want. In case its off topic i made it under spoiler.
I fully understood what you wanted to say but i think we should have more statistics how much people earn and such.
We have jobs which their pay is decided by relying on other people Such as Police, Taxi.
And we Have Grinding Jobs which you rely on Scripts such as Fireman, Medic, Trucker.
So i think 5k-8k per hour, is still quite low. Of course we have people that will say oh but if i play 10 hours a day i will get 50k.
Yes, sure but the system is made for grinders not for all players. For someone who is really busy IRL and can play 1-2 hours a day which is still a lot if you consider if he has a job/family/kids.
So i think we need to start first by implementing having fun and making money in the same time. Such as role playing.
Then i think we should decide how much you can earn per hour.
I'm really sorry for going off topic.
And i think if we implemented a system of actually Jobs that have a proper job, which includes player interaction it would increase Better playing experience and in the same time earning money.
For example someone gets hurt to death they will get animation of laying down and they will have a timer of 4 minutes to be revived. Dying would result in loosing all weapons on you and some cash. Even though it might sound it could be abused and such.
So, my point is if you are a Fireman you will actually serve the people in the city, not scripts.
If you are a medic, you should actually revive and heal people, not just go buy food in stores.
Maybe this changes the type of RP Server we have to a higher RP standards. But as it is we lack support for Criminals, Police and Taxi.
So for example car explodes and its on fire,
Police has to secure the area/road, and place barricades
Paramedics, need to revive the injured, if they are really injured to bring them to the hospital to the doctor, doctor will heal them
Fireman need to turn off the fire.
A Mechanic needs to come with a truck to tow the vehicle from the location to the towing place.
And repair it there then he can bring the car back.
A Taxi will pick up the injured from the hospital
This is just a bad example of jobs being used in such situations. People need to be depend on other jobs, and government officials.
