Cop reward Reduced

[Davron]

I think that VCPD makes way too much money. and the money cheating is out of controll.Seriously you get 1k from 2 stars? that is hell of alot.Players just come and go.I think that it should be reduced maybe by 200 or even 300...

Cut it by a half. Increase money for medics and taxi drivers - their job could finally make some sense as vechicle locking is possible. Srsly, this server needs some balance

The main reason that cops are earning too much is: Your wanted level. The cop reward is same from v1.1,

Cut it by a half. Increase money for medics and taxi drivers - their job could finally make some sense as vechicle locking is possible. Srsly, this server needs some balance

Medic's income was reduced because it is an easier way to money cheat than abusing cop commands.
Taxi's fee is set by taxi driver, its got nothing to do with scripts.

But yeah true, VCPD earns too much.
So I wanna see some more opinions on this case, it can be reduced if everyone wants it to.

It's true, and you only need to look at those who play ONLY AS COP. They'll soon be buying cars and mansions in no time. But like aXXo said, thats partially the criminals thought. Due to us being so leet, the average criminal bounty is rising. I mean seriously, the kill to death ratio for cops is like -9000. This means when a cop FINALLY gets lucky and takes a criminal down, they'll earn a big fat pay check; and for what? Dying over and over.

If I change my IG name to "everyone" and I say no, it will be refused? :devroll:
Anyway, not supported, some cops die over and over again just to kill some bad boy that is killing cops randomly. Cop job is hard, let them win 1k.

[Klaus]

A cop that dies over and over is a bad cop, and therefore shouldn't be payed large amounts

I went ingame and registered that nick already

and a criminal that dies because of a cop and then keep killing cops is a bad criminal?

There are 2 ways to modify cop income.
Income = 500 x some factor
Either I change the 500 to 200-300 as Neal suggested.
Or i change the factor.

Currently the only factor is Wanted Level of criminal.
More factors can be added like:

Kill-Death ratio of cop:
That means the better cop you are, the more income you get.
I dont like this factor coz it tests only DM skill. And also if a cop is getting pwned 7v1, doesnt mean he aint got skills  :roll:

Criminals online-Cops online Ratio:
That means if you are a lone cop in a server full of criminals, you get a lot of cash.
But if 10 cops raped a criminal, you r gonna have a hard time dividing that lil cash u get.
I dont like this factor coz it is not necessary that the criminals/cops were helping each other.
Also it discourages team work, which should be.....encouraged.

Then stop moaning about it and come with ideas how criminals can earn more money. Simple huh?  :roll:

First of all, no one here moans....

We are not discussing any competition between cops and criminals. The discussion is not about who earns more...
Its just that money making is getting easier, so we need to stabilize it.
Cop's income is targeted because copwork being the most popular job is the best way to regulate the income.

This topic is very valid and discussable.

Nobody said Klaus isn't allowed to be a cop. He have the same rights as everyone else to play as a cop.

[Davron]

Btw Klaus and I Don't need to worry about being a cop because we make alot of cash from our businesses. Also i think we should have Cop Bann being into place.Make a unban request on forums also.Because some people seriously need their rights taken.
Also Falling back on our topic.
$100 =1 level
$150 = 2 level
200 = 3 level
E.t.c This is a example how it should increase

Lol, indeed. How did my comment come across as moaning anyway? I guess its a sickness you get from playing on SAMP. Everything is "moan" lol.

Anybody who plays on the server regularly knows I do play as cop from time to time. Just that I prefer the criminal RP. But what has that got anything to do with what we're discussing?

Anyway back on track.

This idea rocks. Why do you have to say DM skill? Dude its combat skill. Fighting is in roleplay. Good cops should have good combat skill. I mean seriously, aren't these ARPD dudes supposed to be trained in fighting? And if a cop is outnumbered 7 to 1, why is he even bothering trying rambo tactics?

No offense Legend, but your a prime example I can use here of a cop that shouldn't earn a lot. Dude you die like 700 times before killing a criminal. But when you do finally kill the criminal, you earn loads and for what? Because you died so many times and the criminals bounty rises by like 20. Cops like Marcus and Pyrus should be rewarded for actually being able to take down criminals without too many returns. But they usually earn less because they don't allow the criminals to raise their bounty through copkills. That's wrong in my opinion.

Easier, ye maybe, but money cheating still exists and sus4nothing+kill it's still the most popular way to abuse scripts. If medic money was cut off, be fair and do something with cops.
