Creating of Gun Selling Flags

[david]

My suggestion is creating a separate flag that can be given to members of a faction by HC in that faction to allow them to sell guns / order shipments if their factions have such a racket. This could work like the recruitment flags which were added very recently and can help with dealing with a number of issues that there are with having gun rackets in factions.

The first issue is that of racket abusing, where players create alt characters in factions simply to sell their overpowered guns for the benefit of their primary faction (while I understand this is already against the rules, this change would ensure that it would be harder to break this rule as I understand that some people do get away with it on occasion.) This dedicated flag will ensure that it would be significantly harder to exploit weapon rackets for this type of gain.

The second issue is the selling of guns by untrained employees, when it comes to gun rackets  - there seems to be a form of training in place to ensure that there is only those who are responsible to do the selling of the firearms instead of having the fresh associates buying a fuck ton of whatever and distributing it which could result in issues both staff wise and roleplay wise.

Stealing my fucking ideas, I already said this in Faction Leader chat… stupid Irish bastard

[Omerta]

I'm on a suggestion strike until I get my last submission re-reviewed.

But seriously, I think these issues are somewhat "intended" as in we have these rackets and the entire point of faction management and criminal roleplay is to try and control the flow of things.

As a 3x Ex-Staff member of the Diverge Networks, navigating through logs to catch such acts is not hard at all.

it’s not hard but you have to do it atleast once a week for a faction that has a class 4 in their racket. gun flags would be 100x easier

I think a better suggestion would be to give the Don of every faction like a Purchased log for every week. 

The NPC's around the map are considered as Suppliers, and faction recruiters introduce new hires to those suppliers, which then they go and order items from the suppliers. So, It would make more sense if the suppliers logged every purchase made from members inside the faction, and at the end of every week the Don would get a note or some type of information detailing who bought what.

This would add a more roleplay aspect into the game for everyone/

That's fair, I think its more something that at least allows them to combat these issues that are prevalent with guns in particular.

Im assuming this is ragebait, but if you think myself a user is going to be able to tell the difference between a MAC that was purchased from a reputable gun supplier and one that was purchased from someone racket abusing you must be silly.

+1 This would be so much better.

This is a very good idea faction flags or something so people can get access to more stuff in the racket based on there ranks, Or also with company cars and such.

Strykers are 300k but we sell them to government officials for racket price.

Recruit the right people, kill the bad ones. Not difficult. Just another roadblocking game mechanic.

Alright so

Gun selling flags? no

But what we can do is put certain charplaytime requirements for certain shipments.

While it won't be faction specific it can be item / weapon class specific.

Would also encourage better RP to facilitate roleplay instead of making a new character and being instantly hired with access to everything.

Drugs -> 1 hour
Pistols -> 2 hours
Shotguns -> 5 hours
SMGs -> 10 hours
Rifles -> 15 hours
Class 4s in general -> 100 hours

Some shit like that basically. Actually guarantees that the character is being played and roleplay is being had. Real risk to breaking those faction rules afterwards.
