Well doing tobacco in a mid-truck especially without max perk for processing is going to be brutal.

It all comes out close to the same and with tobacco making the most it forces our hand. It's honestly a great example of a run that is only beneficial if you are crazy rich and got a plane, top-tier truck, or got a big ass clan. You can't get the first two without grinding for tons of hours or you have the third option.

This would not solve the issue of "large factions and individuals who can dedicate more than 6 hours a day to playing" being "favored". The economy would simply adjust to the inflated income rate across everyone. Sure, you can buy a car faster, but ol' Joe Blow of the 20 man group can now buy a new super car every day, or a couple more houses as assets, which subsequently widens the gap. 

I don't personally like how the economy has become with no way for small groups/solos to compete. Some people here and there have the wits to stay afloat, but newer people to the community will have it rough.

I feel as though even if the larger gangs are able to buy flashy supercars and such. Making it less grindy for everyone will let the single or duos be able to afford at least trucks. My friend and I grinded for 7 hours on a contract for tobacco with low-tier trucks. we made 95k. All while we did this I watched a major gang knock out a contract twice the size in 2ish hours. Making it so the smaller guys can still get stuff faster allows us to buy class 3s, hell even class 2s without grinding a whole day away.

The current state of the economy is so oppressive for small gangs and friend groups that I can see why people complain that its either afk farmers or large roaming gangs. That is the only two options for most. The in-between is not viable. I dont care if other gangs have cool cars and stuff, I want to be able to atleast grind 8 hours and get my buddy and I some real progress not a tiny 95k that after selling our trucks got us one slightly bigger truck.

Type of Suggestion?: (e.g. server suggestion, server rule suggestion.) Server suggestion

Please explain what the suggestion is about and why you're posting it?: (try use an example of what has happened in-game) Add basic quality of life buildings to Nuevo Laredo. Currently, it is not only not worth it but a hindrance to make a character that is a Mexican citizen. To even get your paycheck you have to cross the border which costs at least 250. Adding in some quality-of-life buildings like a paycheck center, claims center, etc etc that almost every city has in the US is the least that could be done for Mexico.

Solution on how to make this work?: Add these buildings to the towns in Mexico. At least Nuevo

Pros & Cons?:

Pros:

It makes it a tiny bit more even to be a Mexican civ.

Cons:

N/A

Think we can all agree the Economy is ass backwards and it causing 90% of these problems. Illegals should make more than legals.. and overall everything should make more damn money so not everyone has to grind 5 hours to buy a class 2..

I gotta say I don't entirely agree with this my man. I have been in a community as well as been a higher up staff member in the community that did this and it never ended well. Toxic people will stay toxic. It typically ends up with staff banning and dealing with the same people they already dealt with prior and it brings all the drama back that previously happened. I hope I'm wrong but figured I'd give my experience with this sort of thing.
