[IV:MP] Rework on the current weed system.

[PuNNcT]

I see that players are speaking about something else other than the weed system which kinda makes me think again.

I'd like to see an improved system on this type of ideea.

Buy Weed-Seeds >> Grow >> Harvest >> Get Cannabis >> If Sell 1=NPC then Sell 1=false; If Sell 2=Family Members then Sell 2=true;

This means that players who are not part of any family will have the only option to join one in order to be able to sell at an NPC.

I really think that this will not only improve the weed system, but it will also give us the chance to roleplay more and why not, families will fight for the weed power in Liberty City.

Basically, whoever is under the big families on the server [that should be stated somewhere on the forums], needs to trade their weed to the big powers.

This is just like a chain. Families will have to have a weekly meeting where they set the weed price and deal with other stuff. They will have to say why they should lower the weed or why should they give more money to the drug dealers they are paying.

Every family member will have 3-4 drug dealers at his hands. This is just an ideea, you think it !

Without reading the above stuff, which may seem boring for you,

the ideea is simple as this : You can't sell to NPC if you're not a top family member.

Also they get carkill to just earn money , please let cops out of weed topic

What?

[superh2o]

Individual or group member should be equal, what makes a group member better then,  a solo player?

What would be the parameters for group to be allowed to sell weed, what's a large family?

Why should groups have more perks?  Just cuz they have quantity?

Who will grant a group statis they are worthy of selling drugs?

[PuNNcT]

Just think out of the box.

In real life where do you go to buy weed from?  A drug dealer.
( only applies to countries who restrict these but nvm)
 
How did that guy become a drug dealer?
Who is providing him with the goodies? Because i bet almost a very low percent of people irl have a farm which they sell the products at the end.

A family. He must be a member of a family or at least an associate.

I really think people who want to get involved in real illegal activities should show their intentions by joining a family.

Other than this, the map will have its own way of separating the gangs.

For example

A family takes Dukes
Another one takes Bohan and so on.

I dont like to see everyone working on their own, getting all the pots in such a mess.

The actual weed system is a mess because nobody can take control over it.

People are selling on high prices and ripping off everyone who is new by buying very low.

Thats why im saying the only way to make something nice out of this is by actual families getting involved as a team versus the other ones.

Of course, families can make peace and help each other if they want to.

Just like real life.

The point is:

Players should have ability to control the weed system but they must gain control.
No one can do this without being a member of a gang.

Now speakin about the pots.

In my opinion these pots should be changed or at least left like they are and new ones added to make them equal and well distributed over the map.

Because, without giving spoilers, 4 of them are on a single island and the rest far away from each other

The pots number should be increased and changed with at least 4 new ones.

If we want to make roleplay here lets take examples from whats going on in real life.

A lone wolf person cant be equal of a family, just cant.
And the same goes with weed too.

Im expecting more feedback on this ideea.
And sorry for any writting issues, im on my phone.

And i would like to see arguments brought to my ideea not just questions that would have to wait my answer.

You think in another way. Say why, explain yourself. Otherwise  i cant understand where you are heading to with these question to question answer you gave me.

I highly suggest you watching a document on real life drug system or just watch a serial like Breaking  Bad if not, go for El Chapo. All other serials are crap except few ones.


Large family = take example of a group with more than 10 people in it teameworking.

Well you are right but what wil you do about thw new players. Its always like teach them the game and they will keep every spot you tell them occupied. They dony care about anyone else, and they spend like hours just growing weed and also will try to sell at high rates only. Well ine instance i told a person im new in the game and he tried selling me his weed at 20pg while he told a friend of mine that the price is only 10pg and he doesn't sell higher.
Nobody can teach them teamwork in any field whether it be weed or medic firemen missions.

Many people, including me, are still waiting for a new system to be scripted but this is yet without succes so I will involve the previous rs1.8 script;

If you want to make profit now, then newcomers are currently your jackpot since they aren't familiar with the stupid high prices for weed. If you would look back at rs1.8 this way, then the weed system in rs1.8 was much better sorted out. You hired someone to farm at NPCs, they sell you, then you have the ability to sell to npc or higher ranked criminal in the weed industry and get more cash, meanwhile he could make profit too, or you would farm with NPCs yourself which was also possible because there were NPCs based on your respect level. Thus no interruption by others so you could work hard as the whole system was stable and equal and fun.

Now all the profits are smaller than other legal jobs. Even lcpd makes more money than us if you compare their demands in court cases... Its insane.

[superh2o]

 Lol cops make money?  Since when lol? 

[Surena]

Lol cops make money?  Since when lol?

Since they implemented court cases with crazy high demands. 

[superh2o]

you did earn 11k from that trade its only natural they want the money they used for operation XD

[William Carter]

Since they implemented court cases with crazy high demands. 

What about Freecops?

[Surena]

What about Freecops?

Freecops aren`t part of LCPD, but they still do earn 200$ for each kill and 1000$ for each jail. 

[William Carter]

>>>> but they still do earn 200$ for each kill and 1000$ for each jail. 

Why are freecops not complaining for money while criminals do D:<

[Surena]

Why are freecops not complaining for money while criminals do D:<

Because we are criminals!

If we wanted to get money from doing legal jobs, then why would weed even exist in-game, why would we even become criminals if we have less advantages than legal alternatives?

For freecops there aren`t set any rules which states they may not do illegal activity after going off duty, so they have the freedom of choice.
Even ranked cops can always switch over to be a criminal just like Toreto did, as people need a change sometimes.

Loyality is most likely the problem with cops, not restrictions set by rules. This doesn`t mean that cops are bad, but you can blame yourself for having low amount of cash.

We have smuggled people, killed people, sold people and done many illegal trades to get as much cash as possible. Weed is something that is illegal since it counts as drugs, besides the fact that it (usually) makes a lot of profit.

[William Carter]

Cops make 500 an hour if lucky. Taxi drivers make 100 a year lately. Stop complaining about it

[Surena]

Those are legal jobs, you AREN`T forced to be a cop or taxi driver.

Read this once again without hurry:
