Federal Bank – A Federal Issue ShyGuyVIII

Approximately one year ago round 7 started. Every player started with 500 dollar cash and a fancy strategy, myself included. Everyone wanted to join an Organized Crime as soon as possible, so they started doing crimes like a maniac. We can conclude that the first months of a new round are extremely important. In my opinion, too important.

At the beginning of round 7, the price of points were very low. For $300,000 you could easily buy 250 points. My strategy at the beginning of the round was pretty simple. Buy as many points as possible and sell them later in the round for a much higher price. Alright, the strategy was chosen, it was now time to work it all out. I did a lot of crimes and I did two Organized Crimes a day. To be more concrete; I was really playing the game.

After a few months I stopped doing crimes. I had approximately 4,000 points, which were all earned by doing (Organized) crimes. I sold all my points for $7,000 per point, means I ended up with approximately 25 million dollar. Since everyone thought I was just ‘Wealthy’, I was able to bank my money every day. Each day I received a fancy interest of $750,000, which raised every day. On a side note, the average money per player was approximately one million at that time. This is the beginning of a very interesting discussion.

One month later… I continued with doing two Organized Crimes a day, but I didn’t do any single crime. I had approximately 60 million, so I rather waited on my daily interest than doing crimes all day long. Now, the moral of the story; the Federal Bank feature is one of the most important features at Bootleggers. When you have a nice amount of money, you will most likely stop playing the game. Why would you crime ten hours long to earn $250,000 if you get two million a day of your interest? Is this fair towards players who recently joined and still have those fancy 500 dollar? They can’t use the same tactic as I did, simply because the price of points isn’t that low anymore.

An interesting discussion. A player who plays from day one should have more benefits than a player who joined three months later. I believe these benefits are too big at this moment. There are players outside with more than 300 million, which are receiving more than ten million a day. It’s simply impossible for a new player to earn that much money. Is this issue a big problem or just part of the game? I believe this is the whole problem of Bootleggers.

Domination, a word which we heard before. Underground crews are dominating Bootleggers simply because they have the funds to buy bullets/points. What would happen if the 3% interest turns into 0% interest? No daily interest anymore! Chaos?! I think a lot players will actually start playing the game again. You disagree? Let us hear your opinion below and let’s start a fancy discussion!
