    Wild West needs a money sink, or everyone will gather 5 million and get bored after a week, like some players already have.

    Houses are not the money sink the server requires, even after Chests are fixed. There aren't enough of them, and the one-time purchase cost is not effective as a money sink.

    IDEAS:

    Rent: Each house subtracts a certain amount from the Owner's Bank, every week. If the Owner does not have the Rent money in their Bank, they lose the house.

    Pay-2-Win Horses: Sell the Store Premium Horses, which are currently Pay-2-Play, if not Pay-2-Win, at the Stable for (25,000? 50,000?). The stable version of these premium horses do NOT respawn each hour, they die and are lost like normal horses. You could also sell these extra strong Horses at various locations (Speed: Indian Camp, Armored: Rebel Camp, Donkey: Mine)

    /Deputy: A player can pay 100,000 (or more) by using /Deputy and the next time they spawn they will be a Sheriff for 2 hours, or until they die. The high cost of this would make any exploitation of this mechanic unprofitable, but it could still be fun for players who want to experience Sheriff. If they attack any player who is not Rogue, the Deputy's bounty is increased by 25,000.
    edit: Roke says Not Going to Happen.

    Wolf Pet: Sell a consumable item to summon a pet wolf at the location for 500-1k. The pet does not attack, does not follow you, and stays in the general area it was summoned. When it dies, it sends a message saying "Your Wolf has been killed". Could be used as a sentry, counter: Don't kill the dog, it will let the owner know someone is near.
    Alternatively: Sell bones so that we can Tame wild wolves that we happen to find. Their damage is not significant in a fight, since they can be killed with a single shot from any gun.

    TL, DR: The server needs a way to lower the amount of money in people's Banks. There are four ideas presented: House Rent, Premium Horses for Gold, 1 death/2 hours worth of Sheriff for Gold (edit No), and Dog pets.

    We are well aware of these issues and a reworked economy and housing system will be released very soon.
    One idea that will for sure not be implented is /deputy though, the possibility of players abusing this is way too high.

    What if they could only do Sheriff actions (handcuff, inspect) on Rogues?

    edit: And you could always raise the price so that they are buying an experience, not an exploit. No one would abuse this experience much if it cost 5 million to play for one life/two hours. High price/bounty incentives can protect from abuse.

    Alternatively, please allow more people to be Sheriffs. Often there are Zero sheriffs online.

    Well think about it,

    People would abuse that in so many ways, raid cartels or rebel bases with friends. Their are reasons why their is a sheriff handbook to not only tell the player their objective, but they agree to "term and conditions" to not abuse their role. If this was to become a thing, almost everyone could become a sheriff and never had to agree to any terms and conditions, allowing them to do what they want. Simply put, its like impersonating a Sheriff.

    From my experience, I think that would make it way too difficult for the sheriffs. It's already pretty hard catching players as sheriff considering the map is huge and everyone is everywhere..

    EDIT: Oh wait I just realized you meant that for players being able to get Sheriff with gold. My baddd

    But I have to agree with Roke and Codebastian, they can abuse the power fairly easily. Plus, it could complicate everything and confuse everyone.
