We were told for an update to the drug market system which would bring back the old system but it seems like you only changed the prices.
The old system we were refering to is the one that there is different prices for every group which is changed every 5 day as it's by far the best solution we have found in regards having the market on the server and not kill the player to player dealing completly.
And the most pissing thing is that only recognized/official group leaders have the opportunity to sell to the market.
The original plan was to only let official groups to sell to the market, however with the introduction of recognized groups, it was decided to allow recognized groups that possibility aswell to give more groups access to it. The reason why we are not allowing non recognized / official group to sell to the market is because we want the market access to be a reward for being a positive influence on the server. We dont want everyone to be able to start a new criminal group, wait 2 weeks and then have the ingame group created for the only purpose of getting access to the market.
Nobody of these ''leaders'' is currently active.
As Devin said, we will be looking into the groups, see if any of these recognized or official groups are inactive. Having the status as a recognized or official group also comes with responsibilities and if those responsibilities is not fulfilled, we will work with the group until they fulfill it, or ultimately remove their status completly. I'm planning on bringing up a discussion for HQ in which we can develop a plan of what criterias we require to reach for each group to be qualified as recognized or official and what we require from them once they have reached said status.
where anyone can have the ability to sell to the market. I am pretty sure this would help all of us.
This will not happend and i will explain why.
The market is supposed to be a group system in which groups will participate togheter in working togheter to bring the necessery drugs to sell to the market and in turn, gain money for the group as a whole. How a group leader decides to spread the money gained from the market is entirely up to them. Either the leader decides to use it for the group (vehicles, weapons, HQ etc) or divide it and gives it back to their member.
About what you're talking about, allowing every player in a criminal group to sell to the market - The reason we allowed it in the beginning of the year was because we didn't want one single group to completly rule the market and be the only one allowed to sell to it. When we introducted this temporary change, i made it clear that it was just temporary and that it wouldn't stay forever.
