Bandit economy buff

I have recently realized how hard it is for medium skilled players without a rank to afford fighting. (Recently cos i myslef found it easy to while i was a whitename... Maybe cos i didnt need to buy gear cosi got tons from killing Nerf and later nike members.)

Getting 1 set of fgihting gear costs around 25k for a bandit (asuming he doesnt have spares from old fights).

This takes 3800s (1h 3 min 20s) to proc if the processed drug in case it is wg. Include the fact that you have to harvest and sell etc, and we can estimate that it takes aprox 2 hours to do the whole procedure.

And it is obvious you might die during this time.

This means that players without a rank can hardly afford fighting, at least not in maxed gear. Also non ranked players should be allowed to take part in the fun, so i have decided to precent this simple economical fix to the problem;

Changes in processing drugs;
Change the way processing time is calculated. Change it from (time/rank)- skill to (time-skill)/rank. Also lower the proccing times of drugs with around 1 sec each (havent done calculations on all o idk).

This would mean wg would be:
3-2s for whitenames instead of the current 4-3.
1.5-1s for elites instead of the current 2-1s.
The other ranks would be in between.

This would simply make the difference between the ranks smaller, by buffing normal, vip, mvp and low level elites economy.

Changes in harvesting:
Make normal players get 2, vips 3, mvps 3.5 or 4 and elites 4 or 5 drugs.

Making mvps get 3.5 and elites 4 would be preferred, but i am not sure if mario is too lazy to add a 50% chance for mvps to get 4 instead of 3.



The point of these changes (proc and harvesting), is to make it so non ranked players could afford fighting. I have no personal stake in this since i myself have elite and my skill levels are high as i am global lvl 5.

 

This is so true.

Would be set do mvps have a 50% chance to get 4 instead of 5.

Also it is a massssive differense between ranks. A Elite player who actually plays (and has some skill level) makes more than 3 times as much as an non ranked player proccing wg. The difference is somewhat smaller for players with lower ranks.

But when you take the spending into account, non ranked players get like no profits compared to those with ranks. Non ranked players can often even loose money if they go fully geared.

 

Feel free to make a thread about that one.

Do you disagree with the fact that non ranked bandits need a buff in their economy? If so why?

 

So instead of making non ranked players able to fight we make sure no one can fight sheriffs. Interesting way to make it fair.

 

No what i ment is 1.5 with level 1 and 1s with level 10.

This comes from the formula
(time-skill)/rank

Where time is 3, skill is 1.0 (lvl 10) and rank is 2.0.

The main change i suggest is to change the way processing times are calculated. Thr current formula

(Time/rank)-skill is pretty stupid tbh, since it makes the inequality between ranks huge. Elites proc everything under 2s instantly.
