Frank is basing his opinion off of false information but unfortunately people don't know that before they follow like sheep.
Which part of his post is false? You like picking on details, so I'm guessing its the same about Frank's post, but in general most of his post is what happen, unless you can give us arguments to counter it?
And the part made by Cyril that RS5 was being developed by the wishes and ideas of the players isn't true for the most important scripts.
The previous scripting team, was egoistic and stubborn in their suicide scripts solution, and the HQ was sad to say, acting the same way. From all the things that Teddy and his team made, the fact they actually consult and talk to players who have experience and knowledge before deciding how a script will work, is the biggest change.
Me and a few others mobilized a lot of people to return back to Argonath, after 2-3 months of rs5 being released. At that time the player count was an average 10-15, and it didn't go up much. Alot of veterans who were leaders of the longlasting factions were called back, even tho most of the players were still into getting over the fact the rs4 is gone, and that they are back on 5k, yet they all had a will to return and start their groups again, and as you know, on one veteran leader(Like me, Frank Hawk, Acika, Que, Pablo, etc), you get minimum 10 more players online. They all went down and returned, and we pushed the average player count to 35-50 in a matter of one week. But they and their members couldn't do anything to earn some basic cash, except fire duty.
This is what happen after that

Cofiliano: We really need to put prices up of the drug scripts and fast, the current ones are not only not profitable, yet you go in big minus no matter what price you get lol.
Scripter1: We wont do that, this system is perfect.
Cofiliano talks about the same to Scripter2
Scripter2 puts prices up to be at least somehow profitable and goes inactive again.
Scripter1 goes full retard and lowers the prices back, even lower then they used to be
Cofiliano: -"What's the point of ordering heroin for 1,5k, getting 25grams, and then being able to sell it to a maximum of 30pg, which means in best case scenario, you'll be in minus -750$?
And its almost the same about weed, you gotta collect/harvest 8 hours without stopping, to be able earn 10k, and that's if you're lucky enough to be able to sell directly the the drug market, and if you're lucky enough to have a price above in that moment on the drug market above 40pg, while the price for my group individually didn't went over 35 for the last 4 months?"
Scripter1: "You're not suppose to earn from drugs, you're suppose to use drugs as value to exchange cash into, and via verse. Like currency exchange, or gold-cash exchange. You can talk to HQ if you have a problem with it"
Cofiliano copies the conversation with Scripter1 to CL and says: "You're not suppose to earn from drugs", what the actually fuck? What else should criminals do? Drug script is the foundation of keeping criminal activity up, if you fuck that up, we're just gonna have more and more players leaving, while we work our asses in getting old people back, fix this asap, or we're fucked"
CL: "We want a realistic economy"
Cofiliano: "What's more realistic then economy being financed by illegal drug money? That's how global economy works"
CL: "If we do that, everyone gonna become millionaires"
Cofiliano: "You dont need to make it spawn big amount of cash out of no where, just make it the most profitable scripted job, so people would be motivated to work more into the drug business then fireduty, hence more interaction, hence more roleplay etc"
CL: "You're not suppose to earn from drugs, just use it as exchange value. We made this decision and we wont change it"
Cofiliano starts hitting his desk with his head a couple of times.
Argo playercount went from 35-50 back to 10-15 max.
