    Yes this sounds crazy, and it's just an idea. I know the sheriffs won't agree.
    So every suggestion to make sheriffs balanced and preventing mistakes to happen failed. About 60%+ of the time, there isn't a sheriff online. And a lot of people will agree that they have more fun time when there are no sheriffs online. And they aren't really an essential part of the game if they aren't online half of the time. Removing them would take away some features, but also mistakes that lead into deaths of innocents, which in my opinion would be worth it.

    Again, it's just an idea, and no, the sheriffs don't have to comment to this post, because their opinions on it are obvious, I would like to hear the opinions from bandits.

    Please no flame war.

    I could agree @Grapplings sometimes its hard for new players to get good amounts of money from doing drug runs when sheriffs always go to every processor before they log off. This makes some new players want to go to the mines where also bandits kill them there and then sheriffs arrest the bandits and they loose everything they earn, so either way new players are discouraged to play due to lack of being able to make money at the moment (I know changes are coming). When I first started playing I tried at least 37 drug runs before I actually made a successful one because it gives u a bounty which sheriffs can track and see your at a processor, then they just come and arrest u.

    Don't remove sheriffs. Debuff there weapons and give them a cool down on there FREE GEAR. Make the payout for catching bandits higher so sheriffs actually have incentive to play without being overpowered.

    I'm going to try hard not to be bias. However, I don't really understand. Sheriff's are supposed to provide much of the challenge for players. You talk about "innocent deaths being prevented," which is basically a lighter way of saying that you think sheriff's abuse. Both Roke and 18kss have worked extremely hard to ensure that abuse does not occur. Do sherrifs need to be nerfed? Yes. Do they need to be removed? No.

    This won't solve sheriffs shooting innocent players

    They are inactive though

    If there weren't any sheriffs, mining and anything legal would become obsolete even more. What do you suggest we do with the whole aspect of legal vs illegal if this change were to go through?

    Inactive sherrifs get demoted, and then spots open up for more sheriff's to apply.

    No, they don't. Serine and Jaet are still sheriff. Please check the facts before saying incorrect information

    Then why was I demoted? Anyways, I also agree with Dodges. His would take away from the whole legal vs illegal aspect, which is the basis of the game

    Very rarely do sheriffs shoot innocent players though.

    About 10 sheriffs were demoted a few days before the cartel event for inactivity.

    We don't get paid for simply catching players. They have to be hold illegal items for us to get paid. Half of the time they aren't holding illegal items. Like you said, the payout should be raised.
    Our weapons are just as good as the illegal ones. They shouldn't be nerfed. What makes a sheriff OP is their handcuffs.
    One sheriff can be easily kill by a team of 2-3 players. You don't have to be full diamond to kill a sheriff. A mauser, which by the way, is better than a sheriff's S&W Revolver, can kill a sheriff in three quick hits.

    Sheriffs are perfectly fine the way they are. I don't find it difficult at all to kill sheriffs, and I never use maxed gear against them, so I don't really understand where your idea is coming from...

    A Mauser takes at least five hits to knock out a sheriff. I've "experimented" with amazingallen and Glock a few times.

    Sheriffs shouldn't be given guns equal to illegal guns.

    Mining gets really good money if your patient. Almost no failure 99% of the time.

    I mean if you like doing things illegal this is the idea for you, except if your bad at PvP xD but ya know, mining is the real MVP. Lol that works cuz I'm MVP xD

    In my opinion, it is not a good idea to remove them. Debuff, yes. If sheriffs started out with like Volcanic Pistols and Leather Armor and they could work their way up to better gear, that would be great. Otherwise you have sheriffs that automatically respawn and can 1shot you if you're in full leather with a shot-gun.

    I think I meant to say headshots. It takes three headshots to kill a sheriff with a Mauser, which isn't really hard to, because the Mauser has great accuracy.

    I generally have more luck with it using my Spray n Pray technique.

    Practice with the M9 and Barret on War, helps refine technique with the Gewehr and Mauser at the same time. Also teaches you to aim.
    Sheriff promotions are not based upon whether a player has donated or not, but on their game experience and maturity. The staff members have already made it through the toughest application process on the server, so they are allowed to be sheriffs if they wish.

    On the main question of removing sheriffs, I can and will be biased. The sheriffs have already learned how to play the game as a sheriff, so taking that away from them would be forcing them to learn the new way to play, making the game less enjoyable for the former sheriffs. This wasn't an issue when the old economy existed, and if the proposed changes are instituted, then I think several of the negative opinions and viewpoints will be nullified once the better gear has been made obtainable for a cheaper price.
