My suggestions aren't ridiculous in my opinion. I do think the money cap is a good thing. I do thing that the group cap is a good thing. But i also think that with school I don't really have the time to play as much as I use to, and I ENJOY fighting cartels. And yes i farm here and there but i think that the cartel should be somewhat reverted to what it was in the "golden age" lets be honest there was a reason why so many people played then and i'm pretty sure the only reason people like "krypton and diseased" posted on the threads was that we trolled not bitch / ask for change, mainly because back then the system was near perfect, the only bad thing i disliked back then was people buying a shit ton of buying and basically did w/e they wanted.
Have cartels give more money / directly wire into gang account will not hurt economy, it will make more people buy guns / loadouts to fight for the cartels.
