    Why create boring, unnecessarily repetitive tasks in a video game? This is like game design 101.  What purpose does it serve to drop your gear buy new gear? over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

    How about we spawn naked? No actually how about we spawn without any Y inventory too! And how about after every death it kicks you out of the server and forces you to change your name? Lets go hard core bro. Make people reinstall the game after every death. 

     

    People dont want to give any kind of perceived advantage to cops. Its not like we always win during prison break or bank or fed. Most of the time all the caps have respawned and regeared several times. I know in my experience that people have gotten away while a bunch of cops spent 2-3 MINUTES regearing.

    Hell, I'd be happy if the NVG's were gone by default.  Leave the rest the way it is and I'm happier than Luke Skywalker after finding out who owes his mom child support after all those years.

    Nobody owes his mom child support She has been dead since he was born.

    I would rather not spend 4-5K on a loadout only get stuck in place to get shot in the face by a pistol-banger or camping rebel.

    You wouldn't necessarily be stuck in place. You wouldn't be spawned for 30 seconds or whatever. But when you did spawn you have your gear. Its not like your are going to spawn in with your gear and just be stuck there. Its a respawn delay.

    In the case (not probable but could happen ) what will be the option for this regearing if you dont have enough money

    Automatically geared with the default loadout  and no timer. Simple.

    Man excuses, if you care about a server with a huge population then you update what the community wants. Not what you like yourself

    Oh wheres my legend ALAN?

    Its not quite that simple. His priority list could be things that are breaking script on the back end. What we see might be a small fix or a small adjustment or another bug but we dont actually know what is happening on the back end.

  4. I'm not exactly sure about the process of becoming an admin or moderator but if that is the process it makes sense. The current admins would need time to get to know the candidate and make sure they had a good enough understanding of the job duties before even considering them as an option. Having an application process doesn't really work out with that kind of a process.

    When you are handing somebody that kind of responsibility and power there has to be a much more involved vetting process, and I really don't think an interview would cut it.

    There are plenty of great candidates that are very active and would be in game a lot. But staff that is recruited just does what the current staff does. So no changes are made.

    Also there are a handful of admins that do the bare minimum since they have been around a while and bored with the game.

    I'm not saying their aren't candidates available. What I am saying is finding candidates that are available, willing, and qualified to have the position is a bit harder. Most of the time I see five or six admins on at the same time, playing in the same server or just sitting in the TS. The fact of the matter is, that not a lot of people are going to be super active during the 4 or so hours that the servers are all sitting at around 30 people.

    Basically I'm saying that; Yes, there are still plenty of people active during the off peak times. And sure there might be some people who are willing to admin/moderate during that time. But does that make them qualified or responsible enough? Not necessarily. There are a lot of factors that need to be taken into account and just adding more admins or moderators isn't really a solution.

  6. The fact of the matter is, there is a system in place. Is it perfect? Of course not. Suggesting that they add more people to staff positions is not necessarily a solution either. The more people that have that kind of power the more likely it is to be abused by them or exploited by an outside source. In addition, having people on the server or available at all times is a bit hard to do. The chances of getting just one willing and capable candidate that can be available at any one time is slim and that is not even taking into account personal/real life responsibilities.

    The fact of the matter is, the majority of players for pc games are centered in relatively few locations. This makes the pool of potential qualified candidates pretty limited, which increases the possibility periods of time with limited to no coverage by admins/moderators.

  7. You have to keep in mind there are 5 servers. Often times at least 3 of the servers are near full. Thats 300+ people for these admins to try to babysit. Yes, sometimes it takes a while to get something handled but honestly what can you expect? If there wasn't a process I could just scream RDM for a few hours about the last person who pissed me off and get them banned.
