In the current state everyone can get guns so incredibly easy, there's no reason not to use them.

You wake up in the middle of the night to see your curtains, oven and couch on fire. Which one do you extinguish first? None, you get the hell out because your goddamn house is on fire.

My point here is is that we have to look at the core of the problem which is agressiveRP as a whole. It's time to get straight to the point and grab this problem by the roots and eliminate it as much as possible. Instead we are trying to make up ways to "Promote" stuff, whilst the problem never ceases to exist. Guns are too easy to get, jailtimes are too slim, guns aren't taken when arrested, guns remain in inventory when disconnected etcetera.

For a start I think we need to make it harder for people to obtain (big) guns, and make it harder for people to carry these around. Hopefully the result will be that people think twice before becoming a criminal and/or pulling out a gun.

My 2 cents.

Weapon crafting is a solution.

Also, -Support because I can't be asked to role-play for points. If I come on to role-play, it should be for fun and not something I need to particularly go all out with in attempts at getting more points to unlock items that everyone should be able to have to aid in their RP's.

But the problem with REP's at the moment, at the start they were easy to obtain, they were being handed out like candy. But when admins have picked up on this they've made it nearly impossible to get a REP without going to a event.

At the moment the main source of REP's are coming from events, which isn't a good thing. If people are only RPing properly on the event server that means "newish" players don't see this kind of RP, and will not follow on.

The other problem is people don't like to attend passive RP's. I was doing a tattoo shop RP for three hours, we had around 10 people walk in, but only four of them actually stayed to attend the passive RP getting a tattoo etc.

But while doing this passive RP, we were attacked by aggressive RP'ers trying to extort us, in the end we had to put the dupe down back four times due to molotov's being thrown at the dupe.

RIP to all the heroin we had stashed in the needles that burned in the back of the shop. Never forgotten. 

I could never understand why nobody was interested in my Sex Clinic, although when somebody came in it was really good RP. Some drug addicts came in and stole all the medical equipment, left the condoms of course. Actual checkups. Its just a shame people don't attend. 

I also cant see, at all why Enzyme hasn't popped his nose in yet. Hmmm

People don't attend as people don't exactly "see" the point in PassiveRP. I did a test the other day, it was do 10hrs of Passive RP and see the statics, I was raided/mugged every 20mins, around $20,000 loss every hour due to adverts/muggings, and had more muggers/raiders than actual customers.
