Why most people do not RP
- Thread starter Butterman561
- Start date
Ehh it is the truth? I was simply minding myself with my RP and get extremely triggerd when 5 cops came flying into my shit and jumping me for not impounding a car.
You guys knew I was doing this but yet you decided to send the whole police force to arrest me for running a supervised parking lot and ending up in staff having to open my gates etc...
I've already been advocating for the return of roleplay for years, but RP has been gradually disappearing more and more until none of it remains now... I've made several threads about it in the past, most notably, my attempt to forcefully strike at the heart of the problem: Ban on non-roleplay organizations
However, the roleplay is dead at this point, unless the staff finally decide to take responsibility for the state of the server as it currently is. A staff member should not only enforce the rules but they should enforce the quality of roleplay just as much. That will however probably never happen as it is far more profitable for the ownership to keep things on the GTA Online in Garry's Mod status, due to the donations rolling in and newer unserious players don't have to be slowed down by any pesky roleplay that would get in the way of their VIP empowered power-growing, org-shooting, domination-seeking spree.
Its an ugly truth but it is the truth non the less. At this point, only the management can decide to change things... And they won't because it isn't in their interest.

Haha drying coke go brrrrrrr
It isn’t staff all the time that need to enforce this shit, it isn’t their job to enforce the ‘Quality of Roleplay’. They have a job to deal with rule breakers.
Its the player base themselves, a large majority need to just go up and do it themselves and the Corleones have tried doing it, many organisations have tried doing this recently but it just doesn’t work because there’s always another org that focuses on the money making aspect and shitting on that org role playing.
PERP is a proud esport and it will always stick like this until everyone does their part instead of sitting in apartments and growing.
first step is to ban all people who use any other resolution besides native (looking at you 4:3 fags)
@Kenty That's what I'm saying and what I disagree with... It should be their job to regulate RP and its quality or the lack of it.
They can’t force people to just ‘RP’ it’s not that fucking simple.
It’s not a dictatorship where these Esports players are gonna be forced to open up restaurants because the man in blue said so, they shouldn’t force it because it wouldn’t be fun that way. They can’t regulate the lack of it because people act how they want, what do you expect the players to do?
Their whole character and ‘life’ on perp is the whole RP, criminals and the esports players need a crackdown on the unnecessary shootouts and all that.
They could regulate the quality and crack down on the guys who just constantly carry guns on their back and assume they’re warranted then shoot cops.
What do you suggest people do or to ‘Roleplay’ or what do you suggest ‘Quality Roleplay’ is?

Thing with what @Ethan said, however fucking relatable it is (which it is), what do you suggest to counter it? The only way I see is by staff enforcing 3.4 more harshly which was what I and I believe others were trying to do to deter people from pulling all that “I thought I was warranted” bullshit. In terms of the rules, unless you’ve killed someone in the raid; it’s not sufficient to kill the cops over and is really just a poor excuse. With “I thought I was warranted”, unless you’ve got sufficient belief beyond all doubt that you are warranted, you shouldn’t be killing cops until you know. Even then, you need to what for; you also shouldn’t be killing cops if you’re warranted for failing to stop. However, these things just seem to slip through the cracks and people are unfortunately justified in most cases, so one of the only ways to counter it is to.. not commit crimes? Which is stupid and removes a gameplay aspect.
So to sum it up, I don’t see how we can move past the excessively killing cops besides ensuring you’re warranted, or ensuring the police are after you because of THAT reason, before killing them. Staff should definitely be more strict when dealing with people who did assume so and so without knowing, as then people will be more inclined to actually make sure they’re doing the right thing.
Just my two cents.

I am going to reply to most of the people that said stuff I found interesting. I personally dislike these threads because it's all complaining and no actual proper sollutions being given.
The entire fight club incident could've been prevented if you did it at a more seclude location, had a medic to prevent life alerts and people dying (so no complaining) and not allowing a government official to join in.

R dont set up giant rp situations while being a job.

TLR we cannot enforce, we should endorse.
these are all my opinions and I will not defend them in the comments, so don't bother.

I disagree that the staff team prohibits people from roleplaying, and it saddens me to see that you perceive it this way. You have some valid opinions, and I do agree that the staff team is at fault to some extent. The event staff is still a W.I.P (as I have been told) and we have certainly moved more in the right direction from where we began in January.
@Ethan
I do not see what the exact problem is? is the staff team to slow in their responses? Is it the community that has the tendency to shoot first ask questions later. anyhow your rulebreak should've been dealt with ingame by a staff member and it saddens me that it hasn't, next time I'll keep an eye so that this doesn't happen in the future I guess.
@Lucius Husky
The jobs that arein the game already have a rp predestined "purpose". i.e medic gives medical care, LEO's keep the city save, RC provides you with all mechanical help and assists the police in towing vehicles etc etc. The only job that has a lot of leniency in this matter is Mayor. as long as you stick within the boundaries of your job bound roleplay purpose then these situations do not occur. If you want to be more creative in your roleplay scenarios always do them as a civillian.

I myself am a great advocate for roleplay, setting up different scenarios ingame, funding other player's their "missions" I and others (@Blackdown @Hayden @Mimball @curak @walnash @flugs ) set up and allowing (almost) all 'passive' RP situations, even endorsing RP. but at the end of the line that's all a (staff) member can and should do. it's not up to us or up to anyone in that matter to limit people in how they play the game. We can merely give them a taste of how we like to play it by creating situations and letting them participate in it. If we would "Enforce Rolplay" then I assume people will be more sick of it as it will be shoved down their throats. what you are saying would be the exact same as people forcing you to buy apples in a supermarket because everyone is buying bananas
