Overall, I think the economy on the server is great. I love the fact that you get $100 in benefits every so often so you don't have to "grind" to stay alive, but I feel the cars and motorcycles are priced illogically, for instance. In the lower- and mid-range the car prices feel a bit.. strange, and in the mid- to high-range, it just feels unreachable in my opinion. You can pay $2000 for a starter car, but a step up from that is already a big leap for anyone who doesn't want to sell drugs for a majority of the day. For example, I think the cheapest car I saw as an "upgrade" from the $2000 Voodoo my character has was another muscle car worth $15000. I can see the sentiment here as the $2k car can be a starter vehicle of sorts. But then the issue presents itself, a simple SUV can be more expensive than a custom Cadillac. And a decent motorcycle can be more than the price of the Cadillac and SUV combined. It just feels off to me. Then we enter the higher segment and it's incredibly expensive. I like that this makes the vehicles more exclusive, but certain vehicles that offer luxury but not much else can be $150k+, like the Windsor. I would understand that a super car has a pricetag like this but a for a Windsor for instance, it feels restrictive. One of my characters is an Italian-American mob-type character, and I don't like that I have to drive shitty muscle cars that don't fit my character to get around, which leads me to my next issue. It feels like there is no money to be made outside of drugs. I've tried selling weed before, and I made $5k in around 2-3 hours of playing. I could just be an idiot and a slow grinder, lol, but even if it was doubled that it doesn't feel like a whole lot. I can see cocaine making a lot of money but with the calculated risk of getting arrested this also isn't that lucrative. Nonetheless, I did not want my character to have to do illegal work but I have to because otherwise I know I will be driving my $15000 muscle car/$2000 Voodoo until the end of my days. It would be nice if there were opportunities for people to make money outside of drugs and other criminal work like robbing stores and banks. Sure, I hear you say, "but you can apply for LEO/EMS", which is true. And it's exactly what I'm seeing. Career criminals who are working as EMT's on the side. It feels wrong, and it feels like there should be a better way, like buying and owning companies/grocery stores/gas pumps or even buying gun stores and buying/selling guns. The issue with these is that there is a limited number of places here, so there could be AI-run options too, like investing in AI-generated stocks or perhaps investing money in your own company and receiving x money per x period of time in your company's bank account. Anything would work as long as the grind aspect of the server is dulled a little bit. For me it's the only downside on the server that restricts me from coming on more often. What do you guys / gals think? Â

I have been thinking about that you kinda never experience a progression economically in the city, the only thing that gets close to it is currently the business but still dosnt make that big of a difference owning one for what it is right now, so i think it could be cool and rewarding to have something to invest in that could improve youre paycheck a bit (with a limit to avoid abuse), like real estate you can rent out or a business that you dont have to care about and invest time in after investment, so you get that feeling that you are improving and getting bigger compared to when you joined the city, the more time you spend and work in the city to invest, and it would give people that feeling that when RPinng they are still making money so they dont have to go scubadiving all day and not RPing instead. thoughts?

MONEY FOR JOBS AND ILLEGAL JOBS IDEA before the last update diving and peach farming would be the best for money  drugs have always been pointless due to the high risk and the time taken to make the money  meth and weed make no money back at all profit is pointless when it comes to it jail time and fines are to high for the chances of getting caught now with the new updated i know the money for peaches was lowered a little but still worth wile diving the randomise pick up is awful now, i get gold ingot and boots all day long and they are now not worth wile and with drugs being raised a little but still no where near worth it  so my question is   could money for all jobs be reviewed again diving you could even add cocaine finds like a boat has sank with cocaine init so you could add that to the random pick ups OR to put back to how diving was before with a few tweaks  Meth to ether be upt to where it is worth wile for a 4 man team to work on 2 hours to cook 400 to then sell and then to make 78k give or take has no money init for a 4 man team  please leave opinion below and ideas  thank you for your time once again #Badlands4life Â
