For people wondering where the good gangs are gone, they are all playing on other servers. Even the players who have stopped playing Arma want to come on and play, but they don't want to with Asylums current state. Olympus is providing players the Pre 6.0 experience, hence the reason a lot of people are playing there.
I still have faith in Paratus to make some changes that will bring all these players back. All its going to take is 1 amazing patch log, and before you know it, everyone will forget about Olympus and will come straight back to Asylum.
Asylum went from being a server that had the best gangs and rebel culture in Arma existence to now becoming what it is now, really a shame.
Edit: The Fed is a good start, lets keep it going in that direction
Are you referring to mega gangs of old? Because those were cancer, you would see them all rolling around in ifrits hiding behind large group numbers and killing players at places like diamond processing. If all these players want to do is kill, they can try KOTH or Wasteland. I agree that rebels and gangs need some more love but mega gangs from the old days were the worst.
@Paratus I sent you a PM a few days ago, please respond when you get a chance.

I like the new simplified interface, they should keep refining it.

That's not a problem with bounty hunters, it's a problem with rebels. The mx/mxc give us an fighting chance to hit targets at range. We need something when rebels get 7.62 to 2 hit you or ohko if you don't have a vest. Also it only takes one hit if they don't have vest or if you pop them in the face.
No, those are BH abusing their long range rubber wonder shooters. BH shouldn't have anything better than a handgun that one shots a target IMO. If you get in a firefight, you should have to defend yourself with lethals so in that regard, they should just offer MX w/out rubber bullets to BH and then if they have the first aid talent, be forced to revive the dead target and zip tie them. This would make the BH system a lot less cheesy. And they should only be allowed to jail murderers, not dudes that have speeding tickets or other small infractions.
If you want to play cop, join the APD.

Because when you get caught by a cop you have a chance to talk yourself out of it / get a ticket.
Getting robbed by a rebel you may have a chance to get out alive and talk a bit.
Getting caught by a bh is straight to jail and no fun usually.
But on the bright side, as a bounty hunter you can be justice! You can be Batman! The hero Altis needs and deserves, but doesn't want.. at all.
I think the part in bold nails it, everyone hates BH because even for a relatively small infraction that a cop would probably let you go for or give 50% off, you get taken to jail and lose your license + loadout. Them getting MX/MXC is the worst decision ever as I see a lot of people using BH weapons at illegal fields to down the opposition in one hit and then having their buddy finish them off w/a lethal, really cheap shit tactic. Yeah if they get caught they lose their BH license but that's easily bought again and isn't much of a penalty.

They don't want it to be unbalanced. If they increased cap by donor rank then donor's could have substantially more money to buy expensive loadouts and armed 50's
True but it would also help sustain the servers as more people would be compelled to donate high amounts of $ to reach that cap.

I don't believe that they can add much more then just different clothes or different colored vehicles
Hmm level 4+ = no more money caps?
I mean I'm broke as fuck right now but a man can dream.

@Paratus do you plan to add more donor perks? I'm currently level 3 but since the servers are struggling with getting enough donations, I'll toss another $40 to get me to the next level if there is something compelling added.

actually I was referring to myself as a low tier player who is prospering with loads of money without bitching about money cap. So quite honestly you're just jealous of my financial status have fun with your drug runs while I camp the dealer to shit on all your effort you put into making it
And this is why players like you on APD are shit.

I hear Garry's mod rp servers are booming right now sounds like something you would like, and neck yourself
Nah I'd rather pay to be APD sergeant here. Money is waiting.

Can I donate $100+ to buy my way into Sergeant of the APD? Might be an awesome addition to the pay to win crates. Also I'll pay $50 for a Zafir. That's $150 right there Asylum, come take my money. Another awesome money maker would be a $15-20/mo subscription for a whitelisted "Elite Asylum $$$ Ballers" server, I'm down for that too. Please take my money.

Just one more thing:
Look at the player count. I think it means something...
First off, I didn't say Olympus is better, I said I'm going to try it out and see if it has similar problems or if these are unique here. I'm actually not much of an Altis Life player at all anymore and came on Asylum to mess around when I'm bored. These are the problems I noted after playing again consistently for a week after taking several months off. Unless things have changed, it is beyond easy to make money as a cop and the only people I see denying that are cops (self interest). The $500k figure I listed was an estimate, I'm sure it was a lot higher and at the time I was splitting money with other cadets and we weren't even going out of our way to ticket people or catch them. And like you said, cops don't have many expenses so why do they need such high income from tickets?
And where is the logic or need in BH's having MX's with one hit rubber bullets? And why do they need a ping system that can tell them the location of a bounty across the map every few mins? If it was confined to a local area they happen to be in, that would make it more efficient and fair IMO. I've just come across so many toxic BH's in these last few days that it wouldn't be worth reporting them all.
46 minutes ago, Parker said:Go play one of those god awful 1 mil start servers where rebels are safe zones and rebels get navids and cops get hunter gmgs. Admins will cater to your every need on those servers and wipe your ass so that anytime you feel you were done wrong you can go to ts and tell them X, Y, and Z RDMed you and they are insta banned or they send a message in game saying come to TS just to talk to some 12 year old.
Never understood why everyone feels so entitled to having 24/7 protection of an admin.
As for all the other shit you listed: BHs aren't op if you are a rebel. End of discussion. You rarely see someone bring out a hunter and if they do just kill them and chop it. The higher the bounty the higher the risk. Cops don't make an shit ton of money like you think; cops have free load outs and cheap guns and never have to spend money other than that and on vehicles.
Doing a cursory look on these forums, I'm obviously not the only one who thinks rebels are underpowered on this server, especially if you aren't running with a large group that can dedicate lots of hours to grind out money and avoid being rolled on by cops camping at lucrative illegal areas.

Last time I played on Asylum it was as a cop several months ago. I recently came back as a rebel w/some friends and it just seems like there's barriers to progressing on these servers no matter what you do.
- Speed traps: All over the place and sometimes when you're not paying attention, you hit one and now bam a cop has an excuse to pull you over.
- BH: The biggest cancer of them all IMO. They have the same warning system cops do to locate a potential bounty and most of the time you see a few of them zipping after you as soon as you commit a crime. This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have MX's with rubber bullets which down you in one hit and most of the time they don't even RP it and if you're lucky they'll say, "hands up" and then instashot you before you even know who said it. In fact, I became frustrated enough (I play alone most of the time when I'm on during the day) that I decided to become a BH and add to the misery.
- Cops camping cocaine field: Almost every time I head there, I hear sirens and cops rolling in.
- Unchecked RDM: Not rebel specific but last night in Pyrgos, some clan rolled in and just mass RDM'd everyone. I've got it on video but what's the point? They'll get a 3 day ban and go back to doing it again as usual.
- Cops make too much money: I can say this from experience, they get you rolling with some cocaine and they seize everything and get a nice pay day. Before as a cop, I racked up $500k over 1-2 weeks as a cadet/constable and I wasn't even trying hard.
- DDOS: Yeah yeah it's not @Paratus fault and I sympathize but damn DDOS happens almost constantly and just kills the experience. Plus I've lost several vehicles (helicopter + sports hatchbacks) as a result.
I'll probably go try Olympus out at this point and hope it doesn't have the same problems these servers do but I'm not holding my breath. Anyone else share the same sentiment or am I just not doing something right?

That was a 10/10 dodge. He should get an achievement for that "dodging expert".
