Lets get real.

[Acika]

I would not consider myself to be leading a group for a year if I was banned for more than half of that year.

That's what you people don't understand. That's the real power, that's the spirit.

I know you're good friends, but i met him in game few times and showed him who's the number one.

Maybe that's the reason why he became WS ?

We're good friends? You may forget we've had a rough history. I am after all the one who spearheaded the FBI case against Blaze; where sure we did have a number of interesting encounters. We're simply mutual acquaintances with a common respect for each others successes.

On top of this in terms of WS; its a quality clan where existing members vote on who gets in. He was voted in by a majority. Something he has more than deserved.

Alright, enough of this discussion now.

If i see any more posts on this matter after my post, i will delete them. This topic was created for another purpose.

And what changes to you propose which doesn't involve giving items to groups and wealth that they have not worked for within RS5 yet.

A good start would be fixing drug system. If you don't want to give mafia their HQ, cars and stuff, give them a way to earn cash like a mafia, not like firemen.

Details. Don't just say what area needs change; give specific suggestions and ideas to help mold something you'd actually appreciate.

How exactly do it needs to be changed?

He said "fixing" it. Not changing it.

[Teddy]

He said "fixing" it. Not changing it.

Nothing about it is bugged. It works fine as is. He is actually talking about changing it. In his context fixing isn't bugs, but fixing the concept behind it.

But there is nothing bugged with it, which is why i asked what exactly needs to be changed.

I am banned and I might be wrong. Last time I was on the server, inventory wasn't saved.

[Acika]

Drug system is fine, it doesnt need a change it needs a little fix.

Drug market price should be higher so that you earn cash instead of losing. There's no need to change the contempt of the script, just fixing the price of drug market.

[Pandalink]

True, i dont want to spend 10 hours to earn 5k, because that doesnt make any sense.

In 10 actual hours it's quite possible to earn upwards of 50k on the fire missions if you know what you're doing and you work as a team.

U cant pickpocket, everyone stores money in wallet.
U cant hijack a truck, noone is trucker.
U cant do drugs to earn cash, u can do drugs to heal or die.
Also none of the above is mafia business, mafia has no chance, mafia is gone, mafia life is dead.

To be fair, there wasn't any way for mafias to make money in RS3, but we still existed.
I know xcasio basically saved the server by funding so many things, but still, there was a time when we just had no money unless we all went on cop duty. Be happy you don't have to do that at least.

Drugs are made only to be used for healing effect from which you can die too. By re-selling drugs you only lose cash if you sell on market. You still cant sell to player as they dont have cash, which will maybe work in 6month or not as the man who bought all drugs wont be able to sell to anyone except to market in which he will lose big ammount of money.

There is a mechanism to sell drugs out of the server in RS5, like Cofi did in RS4 (?).
..
Actually wait, there there is a mechanism to sell drugs out of the server in RS5, right? I remember reading that somewhere.

Did you even read what i wrote ? There's NO WAY for mafia to EARN cash.

We dont want to be firemans as mafia men.

Well shit, that's Argonath man. Running a mafia costs money. That's been true for years. Just be happy that you get to farm fire missions instead of farming as a cop.

That just shows what kind of person you are. They are all my friends and we run mafia life together. We ride together, we die together.

No shit, but not everyone in the mafia is the same rank. You need goons to do your dirty work - it sucks but that's how it is. The higher ranked members organise the more complex operations, while you get the lower ranks to farm money, however they can at the time.
One in every few dozen of these guys will excel and become a permanent higher-ranked member for years.

Legends are Cofi, Miami, Nitrox, Romeo, Acika. Tony ? Never.

yea thanks

I think the list goes: Cofi, Miami, Nitrox, Romeo, Tony.

And for your information i didnt run mafia with 10k, i worked for 1 year to get few millions,

So what's the problem?
See you in 2015.


tl;dr
RS5 has lots of new ways of making money, you just have to find them. Some will take longer to develop, but they will be there eventually.
Be patient, basically.

Now they added save changes.

Question:

Is food going to be returned to stores?

If so, what would be the motivation for players to gather drugs, or anyone else to buy them?

If so, that seems to be what's broken with the system.

However, having *some* possible margin of profit with drugs (maybe not all the time, so you have to check in every 2 hrs or so) would turn the frown upside down. And when I say some, I don't mean massive 30$ per gram or w/e. Ideally, should be dynamic based on factors such as amount sold, economy status and so on. Should make it difficult enough to actually make money while maintaining regular use for the system.


Does Gandalf have any other plans where the drug system might be involved that we may know about?
