Look, I see it as though people are going at the promotions as individuals, not collective. People should be motivating each other to get promoted, to get better and to just generally improve. Also, medics need to start advertising more, you need more people. I've noticed a lot of people combat reviving, they need to be trained more thoroughly.
With the Rhys Beckett (Void and Aobe) issue, it is hard for cops to follow protocols and AL rules in this situations. Most of these "cartels" or gangs carry Navid's, Zafirs, etc to PC1 to get frags. For us mainstream cops it is hard to do our job while on GD. We get decc'd on constantly, and there is no way for us to defend ourselves without following VLR. I'm not saying that they have to cease their actions, but their should be a limit. I don't mind the continuous declarations, but I have noticed, new civs and cops have been finding it extremely hard to get into the habits of the server. I only see two main gangs on the server now-a-days; Void and Aobe. This makes it really difficult to start up your own gang because the bigger gangs go down on these new players like there's no tomorrow.
At the end of the day, Altis life is a roleplay server, and it should be kept that way.
