Don't make us pay for level upgrades!

[Ibn_Black]

There are a lot of veterans on this game that have reached high levels and made friends, friends with money and necessary gear to make their online lives easier. Well it's understandable that we have to spend our hard earned money to gain levels but I really think it's too much to ask us to pay for upgrades as well. That should be part of the package when we pay for the level. I know there are many ways to make money but you must realize that many people have already made their connections and friends that they get their supplies from and it's not that simple to solicit your wares when many of the high levels and big gangs have their go-to guys and can farm their own gear already. It takes time to reach the levels that bring in the big bucks and nobody wants to farm more just to pay for levels. We want to enjoy the game as well and we can't do that if we have to spend every online moment watching the clock waiting to fish and drop cars and pray that we meet a wealthy veteran with a heart of gold. Please take away the level upgrade fees they're unnecessary.

I already made a thread on this jew clown!!!

The fees should remain, but should start at a lower cost. The reason veteran players have so much money is that these precausions were not implemented initially and the economy was a billion percent inflation.

This should be a percentage of your funds in your bank account if anything. Say 5 or 10%.

No that wouldn't quite work, because if that was the case people would just go "Ok I want to level, time to pull all my money out of the bank brb". A percentage of your total net worth would be good though (money on hand + bank + house value + car value).

A stepped modifier based on level would be even better though (I think) since that's how most other RPGs do it. For instance, it might look like this:

Level 1: $500 (+500)
Level 2: $1500 (+1000)
Level 3: $3000 (+1500)
Level 4: $5000 (+2000)
Level 5: $8000 (+3000)
Level 6: $11500 (+3500)
Level 7: $15500 (+4000)
etc. etc. etc.

It would probably need a steeper step in the real game, but it would probably be fairer to the newer players than the flat amount-per-level system in place right now.

That's a good idea, but this isn't for /buylevel it's for /upgrade (gunlocker, toughness, etc.), which I think only goes up to level 4 or 5. I think $5,000 would be a good price for the first upgrade, and then we follow a model similar to the one you presented.

Yeah that makes sense now i think i like the .2 intrest rate is a good idea but the cost for upgrades needs to go

[Jefe_daCosta]

i agree wioth Corrado. it would be better to just lower the price then removing the entire costs..

Gunlocker upgrade for 40k is better then 100k per example
