"Want to get Infernus which is 310 000$", so... should you be able to get Infernus in a week by just "Grinding" in for 3 hours per day.. or should it be "Grinding" 3 hours a day for two.. three weeks?

the infernus price in samp is 140k at total maybe less or a little high ...
also earning money in samp is too easy this is unfair in ivmp i worked 1 year to buy a Super GT but i bought a infernus in samp for 2 days wtf ? its unfair

[Mihail Junkovich]

Earning 140k in two days is unfair, unreal...


To get SGT in ivmp that costs 330k, with the current status of the economy, you need to work approx. only 1 hour each day for 100 days taking that you get ~3300$ for an hour of work.


Of course, less if you are grinding/being lucky with missions as well as filling up time in between with other jobs. Let's say 4000$ per hour, that's then ~80 days for an hour daily.
Now if you do that for 3 hours each day, with ~3300$ per hour. That's a month worth of time. If grinding/lucky, then a week less or so.

All of this is without counting any potential paydays, events won, job salaries, business earnings.. potential court cases won? xd

this is unfair in ivmp i worked 1 year to buy a Super GT

You worked for a year while being inactive as hell xd

It's only unfair if you expect samp and ivmp to be the same

[Younes]

It is reasonable in IV:MP to have a harder way in earning money than SA:MP, and in my opinion it's better. If you want something in IV:MP, you have to work for it unlike SA:MP.. where you can have anything even if you're doing nothing.

If you want a house, or a car, you should work hard for it or join organisations that allow you to earn extra cash for doing extra work (i.e: LCPD, illegal business, maybe families that promote jobs whether legal or illegal?), and doing side jobs such as fireman and medic missions.

im not saying this it be same af ... but get a little closer ..
also cop job aint having a good profit for cop lovers
killing a criminal gives 200$ but in samp 1k . jailing it gives 1k but in samp 2k .. atleast we can make it like this:
killing a criminal reward : 500 ( or 400 ) . jailing it = 1500

Well, Things seemed to be changed out pretty much!

If I am not wrong, Fireman/Medic used to be roleplay oriented than earning money! We used to earn 100-200$ per mission and that also wasn't fixed and It was upon who does more progress. But later It became $300 and these money hunters abused heli which caused removal of FDLC heli from the game which was pretty bad. It was even abuse to use /resetspawn and such commands, Back in the day these missions were for fun and roleplay purposes rather than money! But things changed pretty much. Some call Fireman/Medic mission as "Grinding", As a former legend of FDLC (ARFD) I believe It isn't right to take Fireman/Medic mission as something called "Grinding" or do it for money purpose or like you know? Greedy to buy house or something like that. When I heard the word "Grinding" I wondered what It meant until I realized It's another word for missions. These were meant for Roleplay and fun. And If I am not wrong, It wasn't right to do missions with an intention of earning money solely rather than considering roleplay here and there. Well I was happy to see other day someone doing roleplay on a mission ( I forgot who it was, I think It was Dread? and no wonder because he is part of FDLC ) so I also joined up the roleplay at FD and now I see almost everyone does mission with intention to earn money solely and buy house, biz, cars! Well It's pretty much sad to see the huge changes taken place. I had a suggestion back years ago put up making ARFD into an Organization like ARPD which would bring more attention to ARFD like ARPD and people begin to show more interest to be part of and to enjoy rather than purely call it as "Grinding".  Even the new comers aren't taught the Basics of being a Fireman (unlike Police) instead they know that fireman mission or medic mission gives you money and does it with earning money intention, And neither many are not willing to teach the players what the Fireman/Medic missions really meant to be! Anyway's I hope for a better change one day in near future!

Best,
Fallout (ARFD Legend)

The problem is that missions are the highest earning money source and is better than ivmp weed script. So, people tend to grab cash here cuz everyone wanna buy cool cars.
In t3, fishing actually was better in my opinion if I were lucky. At least the pay was good and fishing was roleplayable.
If you remember in t3, people stopped doing missions cuz of newbies who in the entire world only had to grind on missions and ruin it for everyone. So, people started caring even less for the mission roleplay part.
And due to lack of a better money source and increased need of money, people have no choice.

I prefer to work hard to get the best car in the game, that only few people get it. I don't prefer the easy game in my opinion.

So owning the best car in the game has priority over friends and roleplay for you?
