    Your thread title is the exact same as mine from a few weeks ago @Crystalizations , I am flattered :smile:

    I think you just summed up the definition of Wild West. Corrupt, biased, stealing, ratting people out, yep seems pretty normal for the setting.

    So basically what I'm getting so far is:
    1. Sheriffs need to make more money.
    2. Whitenames need to make more money compared to the donors.
    3. I need to get off my rear and push something that will stop me(?) from losing players. @xPurest :v
    4. Give sheriffs some whiskey and morphine.
    5. Reset with bandit economy buff? (Would people actually agree to this?)
    6. Shoutout to @Crystalizations and "some other person" for putting forth ideas that will help Brawl. At least you know that I appreciate it. :v @Everyone on this thread, give these fine gentlemen a hand please. Give 'em some credit, you don't know how much they deserve it.
    7. "Good Joke"

    I'm right here. >:V You're right though. We aren't instantly going to go through with whatever is in this thread. We'll consider it first, and then decide if it will benefit the server. Then, assuming it will help the server, it will be implemented when we can implement it. "When we can implement it" meaning that Brawl just got a new owner and wildwest is by no means Brawl's only server (even if it is its greatest :v). This will by no means be a quick, smooth, or otherwise easy process, so I apologize in advance for the inevitable wait that will have to occur.
    9.
    Now that I am a higher staff member, I understand why there is this stigma against them. :v tbh it pretty much looks like I'm doing nothing currently which sucks for both me and you guys. It sucks for you guys because it looks like you just got a new wildwest manager who doesn't do crap, and it sucks for me because there's a ton of behind the scenes work and legitimate reasons that I can't do certain things. And then since I'm busier with behind the scenes work, it's harder to juggle the messages I'm sent by you guys which only makes me look lazier. :V So please, for both your sake and theirs, heap some love upon your "normal" higher staff members because they actually do crap. :v Feel free to just think that I'm not doing anything though, because it isn't going to stop me from doing everything I can to serve you guys.

    I had full faith you would be seeing this thread. And the main points that I pulled from it were;

    1. Reset with bandit money buff. My recommendation for this would be taking a look at some old screenshots and videos of Wild West and adjusting the drug prices to how they were pre-reset. @Serine1002 has a tutorial on drug processing where I'm sure the prices would be there. Things can be tinkered with if they seem too OP at that point, which also transfers over to the sheriff money mechanics, which, once we get a better idea how the economy buff for bandits affects the game overall, can be adjusted to make the game balanced for sheriffs also. Can't leave them out, amirite?

    2. Whitename money mechanics. Remove the ranked processing boost and increase processing speed overall to compensate. Level progression still makes it faster. I would leave harvesting boosters how it is for now, same with horse amounts and stuff. That can all be tinkered with later.

    This is just the start, so things can be taken in baby steps. There doesn't need to be a “mass update and reset" like the one that ruined Wild West. Just take things in small increments and see where it takes us.

    Skipping all the way down to 9, every senior moderator or Admin (current or former) I've met on Brawl has been unique in their respective ways. You are one person who I definitely see with the capabilities to fix Wild West. You are truly unique Random, I'm just not sure how. I know it :stuck_out_tongue:

    To the behind the scenes comment, everyone knows that work goes on out of the public view, whether they like it or not. I personally think Brawl should be a little more transparent, but that's just my opinion. The staff team gets lauded as useless and lazy because the community never sees any progress. If what was actually being done was shown (not everything, just some stuff) the staff team would earn a lot more respect for the work they do.

    11. Profit? What part of volunteer does not get through to your minuscule, atom sized, pitiful excuse for what you call a brain. Please don't IP ban me daddy, I love you.


    Overall, I think once you get presented with the chance, you can try to bring Wild West back to what it was. Good luck Random.
    Shush negative nelly.

    If you're to remove the processing buff that donators have, then isn't this contradicting the promise the Chap made to the community that none of the donating buffs, that were previously bought before the whole EULA thing became an issue, would not be removed?

    They technically violate the EULA, and we don't want Brawl to get blacklisted again. Besides, if the overall processing speed is increased, it won't really matter. Also, Chap is irrelevant now.

    Every thing on Brawl violates the EULA. Not just on Wild West.

    I can see a lot of charge-backs happening if this happens. I don't think Random wants to be the cause of that.

    This is why I'm not SMod and I'm only suggesting the idea lol. It doesn't have to happen. And I don't see chargebacks happening for just loss of a processing boost. You still get teleport, faster out of jail time, extra harvesting, extra horses.

    Plans are (hopefully by now) in place, and just need a few things to set them in motion. You will have your beloved Wild West back soon, I promise.
