Easy Poll for the Staff to go off since community meetings don't do anything...

Thank you kind person of the community, i appreciate it ty for being a model member

Hey Everyone, Following the community meeting a couple of weeks ago and the recent forum post we have been giving consideration to the idea of an economy wipe. So now we wish to gauge the opinion of everyone by putting this poll to the community as a whole and giving everyone an opportunity to vote on it. If we were to wipe the economy, it would be a full wipe, inclusive of licenses, money, proficiency, houses, inventories, lockers and vehicles.You can also rest assured that we will not be making any changes to white listing levels of police or medic. Currently we do not have a timeframe for the wipe as we wanted to look into the impact and pros/cons very carefully before a decision is made, subsequently it will likely not occur for a while. If we were to go ahead with the wipe, you can also expect to see some changes to the balance of the server and economy.

Hi @Fusionable, thanks for taking the time to reply. I totally agree with your point about implementing the player suggestions first, and then determining exactly what we need to wipe. What are your thoughts in regards to my comment about resetting the APD & APS? In my opinion, the APS has gone incredibly stale, and those who I've talked to have complained bitterly about the promotion system. Players who play consistently with good role-play are stuck in low positions while those who are in the senior ranks play inconsistently and usually just hop on to make some money or troll us contractors... The APD is better managed, kudos to @Augnov and his cabinet for that, but I do find that there are many people in the mid-level ranks (Senior Constable - Sergent) who are only there for the 'frags' and the money. When I hand rebels/items into the cops, I often find the pubslots are the best role-players, and actually respond to authorization requests. What are your thoughts? Am I right or am I seeing a non-existent problem? @Fusionable

As a server owner I can say without a doubt the costs are very high, I've donated here and their when I can to straya, I didn't expect to much for it, I generally donate to any server that provides me with a good gaming experience. I can understand where they are coming from, it's not just cost it's also the contributions made from the community and the costs of running other parts to keep the community together. If you ran I and a on wombat you'd be waiting 4 hours for the server to start and another 4 hours for ai to spawn (just saying). $120 for permanent while steep is still fair, if you get even half the player base to donate that the servers well and truly paid for and won't be shut down anytime soon. I do get though that their are those of you that have made significant donations so they should be given a bit of Leeway in my opinion. I pay for my server myself and develop it, it's something I love to do and I like to have the power to back it. I do get donations to it and that's what keeps it going and it keeps me interested in making improvements all time. I think that line of thinking is transferrable in this case.
