This night we saw a major change to the game. From now on you will only gain rankprogress from busting if you have under 500 booze/narc attempts.
statements
Hello community,
We were all aware of the problems related to Jail abuse and we wanted to act into it without punishing the ones that really like to bust.
We've made a decision and at the moment:
- Jail bustouts will keep giving you RP ONLY if you have less than 500 booze/narcs attempts
With this decision, busters can keep being busters while having background lackeys and do full time buster is no longer possible.
Keeping in mind, that bustouts do make your account stronger in many other situations, but you will no longer win rank from it.
This decision has immediate effect and therefore it also applies to all bustouts of the past, the users with more than 500 Booze/Narcs attempts have lost all their rankpoints given by bustouts.
We think it is a fair solution and it keeps the game going on without any hard punishment.
Hope you enjoy, there are more changes to come within this week!
We are working on game balance and adapting city maps and kill skill.

THIS ACTION WILL NOT BE REMOVED/CONSIDERED, please avoid spamming e-mail or #help.
It's a major good and the real abusers were expecting it.

it's called a donation code. the important word here is "donation"
-> A donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable purposes and/or to benefit a cause. A donation may take various forms, including cash offering, services, new or used goods including clothing, toys, food, and vehicles. It also may consist of emergency, relief or humanitarian aid items, development aid support, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind.
it's a not a product, omerta gives u credits for it, but they dont have too.

but in all european contries it requires a written permission from the police to run a donation. And from the knowledge we have about admins. Do you think they have that permit? I for one seriously doubt that. If not then in the eyes of the law is a product and not a donation, nomather what barafranca call it.

You used the $$ made from DC sale to help buy out and get more busting skill. You still have busting skill yeah?

Sorry dude, it doesnt work that way in the real corporate world. They put up the notion we can donate for certain privilages ( eg, sell on obay), so we spend our cash for these privilages. When they later remove the things we earned, making our donations worthless, we are entitled to a refund. ( Based on real life laws, not Brando's china state.)

I gave you a gutless one day ban. Please don't use our forums to encourage players to make dishonest customer complaints to Paypal.
That would be wrong.
Next time it won't be a ban.

Well, the only reason the admins are 'punishing' and not a-killing is because they know that half of the punished people would stop playing if they got a-killed, aka less DC income _o_
I wish I got a-killed instead of loosing lots of % rp. This game is going to die when you dont have the ability to rank 'hardcore' anymore. Kinda sucks when someone using their phone 10 times a day doing b/n can keep up with you.

no more hardcore (aka scripting) = your life no more hardcore and it sucks?
it's same when YOU wank = it might feel like sex but it sure ain't.
scripting ain't playing - even you might think so.
next time - buy a barbie and play home?

Well, there probably isn't proof for the scripting, so they couldn't sensibly akill anyone (contrary to previous versions, where there was proof). In such a case, it is indeed an option to turn off/down the possible effects of the scripts. One may argue if this should be done a week after the start of the version, though. I myself am not sure what to think about that yet.

+ many manual busters do not want to rank anyway - easier and cheaper to bustI said some will suffer and others wont.....moron....

No, they won't. Manual rankers who did busts will suffer. Busters won't have 500 b/n attempts anyway. Not at this point of game, anyway.
Can anyone explain why doing crimes and car nicks is completely left out of the equation?

I would have to say gratz to another bad move by the admins, they just lost another part of their playerbase.
I stand by this decision 100%, I think it's a good one. Their timing however, is horrible.
They had so many weeks leading up to the reset to prepare for this, surely they've noticed some accounts last version getting way ahead of others like this. But instead they're doing what they're usually good at doing, interfering with gameplay midgame.
I'm sure they caught a lot of scripters with this move, but a lot of manual labor was put in this stuff as well. They're punishing the people that worked hard as well. You can be sceptic and say 'well blame scripters for that'. No I wont, I blame admins for their impeccable timing.
Edit:
+ I'm also wondering about the changes they're mentioning, game balance, adapting city maps and kill skill.
If they're gonna change anything about this, they better do this now. Not when fams went up or when accounts gained KS.

think about it, IF admins succeed in bringing down abuse, script and stuff this game will totally dead. It lives on dupes, cheating, abusing, scripting :D
Are there people who really think playerbase will stay same or grow when you can't script abuse etc??
Ahahah

Lol, sure you did.
why not? u are talking bs since u didn't try by urself try it from empty suit while buying urself and ull see that this ain't impossible.
you guys sound like the world has came to an end.
wtf is busting anyways? did you used to be in love with bo's in past 10 years?
many people found a way to abuse it, like they abuse almost everything, so its changed back to the old times..
btw busting doesnt give rp anymore but still improves your account strength.. but NO.. the guys quit busting now cus it doesnt give sweet RP's anymore.. everything is RP.. cus everyone are n1 rankers of their families!
you still dont see any assassins, and Hulk promoted to assassin 2 days ago.. this was only because he was busting, and if he didnt get killed by a noob, now he was gonna get demoted to mobster.. did you know that?
just keep ranking and try to have fun... if you dont have fun, simply just retire...
