Good tips. This should be a must read for new cadets... and most constables.

We definitely need more prestige perks. But they certainly should only be quality of life improvements.

If the "Taser" P07 took 1 shot to down then yea. But then you'd need some policy saying officers must use tasers on unarmed or nonviolent civilians.

I've been sitting on 2 houses full of meth ingredients for over 6 months. I used to do meth runs out of those houses all the time whether I needed the money or not.

Ozadu liked a post in a topic by Budbringer in A Topic Worth Discussing - Money Cap
I think the money cap + prestige idea was good, but the execution was not. Its been 2 years, its a feature that is not working very well. I dont play that much any more, but last time I was online, some dude suiced vested the cops 4 times, so how much is changed. The biggest issue I see is that people now log on, but only play 30 min instead of several hours.
Take myself for example. I'm at 950k with 800k prestige. If I log on, theres nothing for me to do. I can make money for 30 min and I'm capped, and with the rebel prices, I cant be bothered to fight, because I spend to much % of my total wealth to gear up. So instead of me being on for 2-3 hours making money and taking money farm break to fight, I just dont play at all, and I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
Sure you can say I could hide my money in vehicles etc, but I cant be bothered to buy vehicles I know I sell for a loss.
I think the cap is doing more bad things than good things. I used to be #2 on the list(could never beat smodee), and it was so much fun working towards that. I bet both bamf and volunteer remembered how much fun it was going for that #1 spot

Now that I have time, I can elaborate more on my points and opinion:
The cap, in my opinion when it was implemented, was a good idea. Mainly because I thought the prestige system was going to be something worth players time, and its been almost 2 years now and its still not worth a shit.
However, I am for removing the cap. But I do understand the hesitation from the dev team because I have seen what not having a cap did or what it could cause if the cap was lifted. Before the money cap, people (mainly members of super gangs) with endless amounts of money could do whatever they want...very similar to what Admins can do, besides the teleporting, scripting in their own gear, etc. etc...Oh and Admins don't have to grind for their money in game and they don't get banned (so there are some repercussions for the playerbase).
The biggest issue with this was the onslaught of Orcas/Ifrits/Vests with 15-20+ people jumping from Fed->Prison->Bank nonstop (keep in mind, this was mainly during peak times only). But there has been a lot of changes since then that helped resolve some of those issues:
1) Vehicle Insurance Removal - Players took full advantage of vehicle insurance and losing a helicopter literally meant nothing to them.
2) New SPAR 5.56 weapon - Takes out Ifrit tires very fast.
3) Suicide Vests - Players have to be on the ground and out of a vehicle to set off a suicide vest.
4) Group Cap - No more super gangs like there use to be. It appears that cops outnumber rebels in a lot of engagements now (like it should be).
5) Objective Cooldowns - 45 minute cooldown makes it a lot more difficult to go from one to the other nonstop like it was in the past.
Another thing that might be on the minds of Admins/Devs is the selling/buying of money. And in all fairness, nothing has changed on that spectrum. Cap or no cap, people will always buy and sell in-game money. Honestly, who cares what other people do with their own personal money. If they want to waste more money on a video game, who are we to judge.
The one thing that has kept these servers alive has been the constant patching. With this, I must applaud the dev team for constantly working on updates and trying to fix shit. However, whenever I play, I never see anyone doing anything. I can drive all over the map and maybe run in to a few people here and there (besides Kavala). Before, there was people everywhere trying to grind to make more money. Shit, even some of the most wealthiest of players would be grinding just to make more and try to be number 1 on the list. It appears now that when people get capped, they are just bored and don't have anything else to do.
Removing the cap might not be the answer, but at this time and in my opinion, I feel like it is the best answer.
