Enough is enough, the rules apply for all

[Miller786]

This might be a bit radical, but how would a modern remake of RS4 sound? Make it a hybrid: take all the good stuff from RS4 and RS5 and melt it together in a modern, fast, stable and secure script. This can be done easily by a well communicating and professional scripting team. Count me in if we're doing it.

Finally a proper proposal and not just some vague arguments

RS5 has still time to evolve.
We are working on it every day.

And what would it solve? Nothing that has been brought up in this topic atleast (or what was suggested by Cofi in the first post).

To get more on topic, I suggest that we focus on making the law enforcement more of a privilege, because only then people will take the responsibility at a higher level. Everyone seem to be complaining about the high number of officers aswell, why not reduce the salary and let the people that strives to do a proffesional job and not for the money have this privelege?

Just a question, what salary?

I think he means the amount of money officers receive after jailing/killing a suspect.

We don't invent new rules like that. It needs to be discussed within the HQ and approved by Gandalf.
And it would still be up to the admin to handle it as they wish.

No ones asking for the new rules, we are actually asking for a stricter and equal apply of those on all, not just one the category of people who are not on /duty, the way it was before. At the moment that is abnormally not the case. And no can deny that.

RS5 isn't close to being finished, feels like we're still in a BETA version. The only means of economy are fireman duty, basic stuff gets bugged occasionally, important scripts constantly being disabled, lack of players and active groups. Just SOME of the things that weren't a big of a problem before this "RS5" release.

In certain degree Antonio is right about economy. In my opinion why more than half of the server are cops at current situation is simply because there is no other way to earn money except fireman .

So at end the whole server is cops and firemans,and about 20% are citizens or criminals.
Criminal world is a dirty world with lots of risk,reward is easy money and Argonath people love money.
I believe if criminals will get an access to easy money,they might populate and families reorganize and get active again,as there will be a reward for activity and dedication to server evolving once again.

As people crime interest relay on veteran crime families/ganks they might dedicate them self's more to criminal side than cop side or fireman,so it will decrease police enforcement player interest.
Decrease attention given to specified citizen from cop side,and at end even cop leading thinking twice before suspect abusing strong standing crime member as revenge will breath in his neck in each corner.   

Imo tho,imo.

Criminal earning is as equal to a earning of mechanic + added risk. RS4 had good criminal earning.

The only way to solve this issue is to remove the voluntary police officers.. Freecops gotta go.. Especially with such player count, it would also benefit to the variety of players, since most of them are cops anyways (as suggested in another topic.)

Nono, that's a terrible idea. Freecops are integral to Argonath - the chance for anyone to log in and go be a cop is very important.

We can always encourage other roles like civilian or criminals. This imo should be the last way to deal with it.

I think the main problem it would solve would be the playercount. If more players play on the server at once, a more viable economy will emerge eventually, supported by small injections or naturally.

Also, if there are more players, the cities and towns will be less deserted, causing police officers to cause less problems by deathmatching innocent players or suspecting for bad reasons.

I'm just brainstorming here and trying to contribute to solving our problems. If you have another vision or idea, please share it with me.

From my experience, its not the newplayers who abuses script while on /duty, its mostly the veterans who troll around.
New players even when they do that, its cause they weren't teach/told not to do such thing, and if you spend 4 minutes on him, he''ll realize his mistakes, and hopefully wont continue doing them.
