A Proposal to Fix Cartels

Ahem, so while I haven't done my research and seen if a thread similar to this has been posted, I'm bringing up the discussion yet again. I also didn't seem to catch any cartel fix propositions on the trello either. In my entirety of playing Wild West, I've only seen cartels actually being fought for a couple of times. That and the only time anyone will use them is HUGE teams are selling loads of the drug, if not no one captures them. The reward is minimal, and the risk is also not there. The only danger you face is some bozo coming in to retake the cartel, which by that time you probably have left. The 5% is nowhere enough to be beneficial, and the fact that it goes to the team bank doesn't help either. Members in the team that can't access the team bank just won't care to capture the cartel, it doesn't help them does it? While I don't currently know a way to make cartels riskier, (leave suggestions below) I think either the cartel income should receive a percentage buff, or a rework. By rework I mean instead a slow trickle of money, which would be a better alternative to having to wait for people to sell, which nowadays most people get killed too quickly in processors to make any profit from them. Feel free to leave comments stating whether you think they need a rework, and if so how YOU would fix them.

 

True, the time needed to make the money needs to be taken into account @charlottethegirl
