Partiality of RS5 - Part 2

[Leon.]

The posts in this topic show me where everyone's priorities are - in all the right places...
OP brings a legitimate point that shouldn't just be beat around just because of a fucking topic name.

Anyway, loans so far just seem to be an effective way of screwing over hopeful business owners. There simply aren't enough players to create profit for business at all. Some accommodations need to be made for the small playerbase, seeing as the script is based around a self-efficient and larger player base.

They removed the /loan and /purchase first and said it was buggy. Later, they released it and told it was now fixed. Man, i am not God to predict future.

One can take a loan and can repay it. It's fixed.

What you're complaining is that the delivery system is bugged, and delivery system=/=loan system. You can still pay back your loan by doing what you usually do - extinguish fire as a fireman.

Business owners would be screwed over by loans only if they take an expensive loan without the means of paying it back. It is no longer developers' responsibility; Devin and Jones are doing what they can to fix things, and players should know better than to jump into a hole or cross the ocean without a plan or means of getting back if they run into trouble.

Debunking the topic's core premise, what people need to keep in mind is that if you are not prepared enough, then you should be ready to deal with the consequences of taking a loan when your own capacity to manage things is lacking.

Why is everyone berating this guy? He took out a loan for a business which doesn't fucking work and everyone is against him?

So yes, the trouble you got into from your debts is your fault.

How do you know he didn't do a cashflow or budget? There was no way to know that the script was so inherently broken.

Or you could exit the loan, cut your losses and chalk it all up to experience. 

Chalk it up to.. what experience exactly? That the RS5 script is broken and not to be trusted? That's all he can gather from this.

Business owners would be screwed over by loans only if they take an expensive loan without the means of paying it back. It is no longer developers' responsibility;

This is literally incorrect. It is totally the developer's responsibility to develop the script, and his financial concerns are caused by a script bug.


Seriously, the fact that you all band together to berate this guy just to defend RS5 is astounding. That is, unless you didn't read the OP, which most of you clearly didn't. Go back and read it, including you JDC.

Agreed with Panda.

There just seems to be a party of "RS5 Radicals" that sets out to berate every single member of the Argonath community that brings up an issue usually regarding a flaw with the not-quite-complete RS5 script (or whatever else you want to call it - bugged, incomplete, flawed, don't argue about this please because it's not the point) that they find dissatisfying. Clearly, the script should be satisfying to an overwhelming majority of the playerbase, otherwise you wouldn't have happy players that would just keep posting criticism/complaints on the forums... oh wait, that sounds familiar!

This post is not to speak of my opinions regarding RS5, of course.

Now stivi's got my curiosity..

Slightly offtopic, but perhaps the players can sue the Argobank   

Should be noted that in case we do this, we do it just for fun. There should be no expectation of any rewards and/or settlements but if it goes well, you guys might just get something for the loan after all.

Yes, we can sue ArgoBank. However, for fun or no, the script will take our money. The script doesn't have a valid contract, that's why I never supported script-running banks. We can request the property to be under our ownership and we would pay the loan on the correct interest rate, in a period of time set by the court.

Would be appreciated if a developer gives his input on the interest rate.
