*Disclaimer* *Im from Denmark so my English might not be the best*
So im a guy with 1.1k hours in gmod, most of my hours is from playing darkRp. Ever since i've started playing darkrp, it has always been about having the best base, so that you could protect your printers, cuz they were the way of making money. On Zarp I see less bases and less people acually playing a "Role", cuz there are so many other ways of making money, which are much faster and doesn't really acquire you to be active (Mining) So the whole purpose of playing is kinda gone, you dont need to build a base or anything, cuz you dont need to protect anything, like printers and so on. Cuz everything can be obtained by buying boosters and mining. I really like that mining is a thing in gmod, but its kinda everything now, yes you can get insane printers which probably is much better than mining, but a new player on the server cant afford stuff like that, so he will have to start from scratch, but that isnt really a problem, cuz mining is a thing and all you need is and auto clicker and the ruby converting command for console, and then you just let it do its work it self, and after some time you'll be a millionaire. I calculated that if u have a diamond pickaxe, you'll make $48k a minute, if u sell your gems for $40 each, Cuz you mine 15 rubies a min, thats (15*80)*40 = $48000 and 2.88 mill an hour.. You see how easy it is to get alot of money, even with a regular pickaxe you still make quite alot....
So my point:
-Find a way to make people build bases, so that there is a point of achieving insane guns, cuz why have an RPG when you dont need to use it to raid people. and why build a base when mining will get you alot more, and its way easier.
Thanks for reading, if u agree with me, please leave a comment, if you have a different opinion please post it in the comments aswell.
