Okayish idea, but don’t you think it’d be unfair for the newer players coming along and making a gang but other gangs being “official” and more powerful on top of all the upgrades? Or am I wrong ...

It wouldn't be hard to join a official gang as they would be required to be actively recruiting as it would benefit them and if you really think about it what i said with them not being allowed to rob new players it can actually help these new players
