Equipment Trade

[Pariahprose]

Hey, why not add a feature where a person can trade their equipment within their mob?

[Ajiryn]

Abuse. Higher level players would trade 500 extremely powerful weapons to their lower accounts, thereby screwing the entirely low level population.

[holytacoshells]

yeah, imagine a level 1 with 5 exos, 5 rhinos, and 5 GML's, or worse, LE weapons. Let's say five metal storms? ABuse for sure

[Sir M]

Or send thousands of Miniguns and then sell them to buy property. It would get abused to no end.

True, but I think with all that equipment at that low of a level, it wouldn't be an issue, just go get some bounties, you'll have that income in no time.

[Pariahprose]

Its a game, you are going to get abused and ****ed either way, if u arent already.I mean a lot of ppl in my mob cannot afford ne favor points so they are gettin ran over by all the ppl that can afford these limited edition items. Not to mention the problem of abuse would b solved bc everyone could do. And as for bounties, those are harder than hell to collect especially for lower level mobsters and ppl without a lot of ppl in their mob, so the argument of abuse is already happening in that sense.

can yall not understand we get abused either way?

[--ZAKZ--]

if i could do that my lvl 5 would have 100 escorts, 200 exos, 150 tanks, exp exo, exp tank, 100 cold war boats, generlalimisso, drug lords, every LE item, all GML, the luxary yhact, private jet. all that good shit

If I'm not misunderstanding what you're saying, in ALL online games there are always those jerks who are going to abuse you, pick on you, etc.

That's why you concentrate on building a loyal mob following to help protect you and help take care of the problem.

If you're skin isn't thick enough to ignore the mobtards, than maybe you should play something else?

[BoSsS]

sounds like a good idea to trade equiment but really think about it every single member in the end would end up with all the same shit, w/e was the best would be stocked up...

[Fastball19]

ok so set a limit to the trade down or trade up level?

Or how about only trading limited edition weapons such as the ones you buy with GF points

[ZGillman]

There could be some hope in this idea, but it is slim to none..
If there was a way to only let lower levels send it to higher levels, then it would be okay. But what would be the point of that?

[jdno7]

i had a similar idea but not so unfair. basically it works like the hit list you post what you want to trade and for how much. first player to bid on it gets it sorta thing.

I think we outta have a stock market. All the good mobsters invested in the good stuff ;)

[Joey Cement Blocks]

in regards to trading up or down,

"Whats in it for the mobster trading down?"

seeing as most lower level mobsters have nothing of value to offer upper level mobsters there seems to be no logical reason to trade within your mob for any reason other than TRUE LOVE OF MOB or simply just to beef up the lower level guys, essentially for free, thus unnecessarily scrambling the dynamics of the early stages of the game for no good reason.

not to mention creating a whole new class of mogul types who would essentially be making obscene amounts of money much earlier than anyone reading this post was probably able to do (thru the selling of weapons that have little value to those who make nearly a billion every 50 minutes, yet carry immense value to the guy making $7,000 every 55-60 minutes.)

[ZGillman]

So you don't like the idea I assume? :P

[Joey Cement Blocks]

So you don't like the idea I assume? :P

well I could answer that by saying politely, I like the game the way it is, and it is obvious that the induction of the aforementioned idea would no doubt dramatically alter the state of our beloved game, thus removing the struggle, the memory of which now makes our current prosperous times so much more delightful.

right?

or i could just say "not really" :p

[n0 time t0 die]

Mabe we can make something like higher levels can't trade with the lower levels, mabe the same levels and u can't trade the special points (i forgot what it was called) for money..Like a "special point" costs like 1m..

[tapeworm rage]

maybe they can trade one LE item for one LE item instead?

[n0 time t0 die]

I don't know what your saying but sure. :P

It would probably be fair to trade them within our saved games, not to other members of your mob because we have earned those LE weapons with our own favor points... it would also defeat the purpose of the GF point system

That would make some sense. But there would still have to be some idiot-proof method to where you can't go overboard.

[mobwho]

agree

So youre saying you want to add insult to injury by allowing the lower levels to get high-end equipment so they can stay on the HL indefinitely and make it even HARDER to collect a bounty?

I dont understand your reasoning for this idea.
