Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Why Do We Just Kill It at the Source to End Our Problems?
« on: August 14, 2012, 12:35:41 PM »
Why is it that certain things in the game are hard to impossible to get? It makes no sense. I do not understand why we must eliminate all of our problems by killing it off when it's not the items or such that is the problem, it's the people using them. I hate it whenever I see maybe a thread wondering about things like guns, most admins/players respond they can't do this because of misuse/minges. And that, is a bullshit reason.
I don't think people understand that we HAVE ADMINS FOR DEALING WITH PEOPLE THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES. But, instead, we just decide that it's an even better decision to take things and make them HARD AS SHIT to get, such as guns. There is no reason why we are not able to do certain things because people did not follow the rules. THEY should be punished for their actions, not us. I even remember someone saying that it'd be too hard for people to smuggle in weapons like that ICly. Then, why do we have an active population in the Outlands? Because it's easier to smuggle people then guns? No, it's not. Why do we have OTHER contraband in the City then? Is it easier to smuggle Stationary Radios? No.
This also brings me up to when Purple had that small group of Traders that sold weapons and ammunition to the public, and it was great! Though, it was short-lived due to some other admins getting pissed when on occasion there were people not using them right, or people got mugged etc... Once again; ADMINS, WE SHOULD USE THEM.
I also don't have a clue why we're not allowed to freely go to the City from the Outlands. I remember hearing that people were running rampant with guns from OL. That makes just about the same amount of sense then Charlie Sheen is completely durg-free. If you got a gun in OL, chances are you're not a minge since it's one of the hardest things to do now.
We should AT THE LEAST be allowed to apply for some sort of auth to obtain them in both OL and the City. In that way, we can at least know that the people who've been accepted are the level of RPers that are fit to having a weapon and not abusing it. So what that we can have a IC knife, or maybe a stick? That's not gonna help against a mob of OTA flailing their weapons around. It MAYBE able to handle some un-armed people that're trying to mug you.
And I don't even know why it's EVEN HARDER to get a Resistance Uniform? You can't even abuse that, and it's one of the only clothes that you can get as a Citizen? So why is it so hard? I often hear people saying 'You don't need uniforms to Resistance RP.', but what if we wanted to? We are usually left with these neat-like uniforms, what if I wanted a more rugged look to myself? There's no good reason why we can't have them?
I understand that this is probably gonna just piss people off, and this is a sort of repetitive theme to a post, and it's somewhat short. I just wanted to make a couple points of opinion across.
