TOPIC: [SSRP] Remove Explosive NPC

Server Name: [SSRP]

Suggestion Title: Remove Explosive NPC

How would it benefit the server: As a staff, I see a lot of rulebreaking. One of the biggest things I see on the daily are people buying lethal grenades for less than a shipment of pythons. Note, a brand new player that has been on the server and has only $5,000 can purchase multiple grenades. After they buy these, they usually throw them at the groups of people surrounding the Banker NPC and areas around there. At this point, the grenades are useless, we have fire shooting thunderguns, RPG's, Milkors, and many more, the grenades don't even do prop damage, just a lot of player damage. When was the last time you actually even bought one of these things?

Potential Issues/Exploits: None

Where else will I get easy access to weapons for mass rdm

Obviously, but we can lower the amount of RDM by taking out a few things such as the Explosives NPC.

Well they are pretty usefull in defending bases, raiding, I don't see them used alot and people don't expect it, you can defend your base with 2 grenades, how about making it a cheap gang upgrade? It would reduce the RDM, I guess.

+Support this is a great suggestion it would make staffs jobs that little bit easier and lower complaints and warns.

Right people wont like this coz it makes it harder to play

BUT lets kill two birds with one stone so you know how everyone thinks milkor/rpg/etc and op? how about the npc sells the ammo for them like shops sell normal ammo so if you have to pay every time you use your op weapon but like I said people will -support coz they want the easy way to play

I have experienced 1 time where a grenade was usefull in my whole time on Zarp! I do agree with this Morgan. just never thought about it myself

I buy grenades all the time...If you wondering why just try to raid like a simple user without much money

It would be good. But honestly I find the explosive NPC useful for raids

Either it can be removed or put some where else then right beside the two most populated areas on the map like in the warehouse district or some where else

I know 0 people who raid with grenades

Instead of removing it, up the price of the grenades and move the NPC to somewhere more isolated - like the Old Mines. This would discourage RDM because new players won't find it as easy, they will have to travel further and spend more money to buy them; meaning they have less.

There's no point in removing them when legitimate players use them for RP purposes, even though it's a minority of the player base.

Cheapest weapon to RDM with and a good raid supporter.

Or as Stooki suggested a while ago, you could move it to somewhere which isn't one of the first things an RDMer sees, like to the new district or down the alleyway at the side of the bank.

I still use grenades and I know that alot of other people still do, you would just be ruining the fun for us when you could just move the NPC.

This is a good point but if new players really wanted to go on mass killing spree instead of going to the explosives npc they would just go to the hundreds of stores near the bank, purchase a gun and then just open fire. If anything the explosives npc should be moved to a different point of the map where it's less populated.

Another thing is that grenades are a good way of raiding if you want to clear out a base without having to pull out your special weapon and then wait for the holser. I rather loose a gradenade and a gun than a special weapon and I'm sure other people will feel the same.

Yesterday i was raiding a bank, me and my buddy cordinated it, as soon as i had thrown two grenades i would have their attention. Then he would take the other way.

Just beacuse you don't play tactic doesn't mean everyone else is. Grenades are a great aspect of the game and should be used more often by legit players to draw a new challenge.

as a ex admin ive seen mass rdm with $5000 starting rp cash a lot of players don't read the rules although at the same time it makes it harder to raid bases if they have room to throw grenades

ill give it a
