The Lazy Way ShyGuyVIII

Last week we at the Buzz wrote an article about the Federal Bank feature. What if the 3% interest would disappear? We witnessed an interesting discussion and this week we have another interesting subject for you; the kill system. How can one player kill more than hundred accounts in one shooting? It shouldn’t be possible, but there’s pretty simple way to solve it. I believe the kill system is not the problem. At this moment it is possible to convert 10 points into 500 bullets. What if it was only possible to buy bullets at the Bullet Factories? No more points converting, just like the old days!

Nearly every week we witness a shooting which results in the death of more than 50 players. The bullets which are being used in such a shooting are mostly points which are converted into bullets. Why is nobody buying those bullets at the Bullet Factories? Well, it’s pretty simple. Every player has the risk of being shot, so why would you invest in bullets? When you die you lose everything, bullets included. It’s far more clever to invest your money in the Federal Bank and eventually buy points. If everyone would do this, nobody would buy bullets from the Bullet Factories. Now, have a look at the amount of bullets in stock of the Bullet Factories. At the moment of writing this, nearly every Bullet Factory has 20,000+ bullets in stock. We can conclude that not a lot players are buying bullets from those Bullet Factories. Not very surprising, because why should they?

So what happens if we cannot convert our points into bullets anymore? I believe it will result in less and smaller shootings than before. At this moment shooters are using more than one million bullets a shooting. I simply don’t believe all those bullets are bought from Bullet Factories. Buying bullets is a pretty boring job, which takes a lot of effort. At this moment underground shooters are just banking their money and ranking to Godfather as fast as possible. Once they reach the rank of Godfather, they convert their points into bullets and start shooting. Ha, that’s not how we did it a few years ago! A few years ago we didn’t have the ability to convert points into bullets. Being an underground shooter was a hard job. It was not an easy job to stock more than 300,000 bullets, because you were able to buy approximately 500 bullets a hour. It took a lot of time and effort to buy all those bullets. Where’s that effort now? Gymnasium? Getting a Thompson isn’t that much work, really.

So back to our question of the article; what if you couldn’t convert your points into bullets anymore? Bullet Factories would be way more interesting, which will result in even more fancy crew wars. Of course, we will see less and smaller shootings than before. The result of this? Less random shootings, which will result in higher ranks on Bootleggers. We might even see a Nation Don this round! Converting points to bullets is a relatively small feature in the grand scheme of the game, but one which has a huge impact and influence on the current state of Bootleggers as a whole.

I believe the current kill system works fine, but Bullet Factories are useless at this moment. So, is it time for a change? Yes, it is. Will it ever happen? No, it won’t. Using points for a shooting is the only way to achieve domination. Guess what the Administrator of this game is selling? Exactly, points. Unfortunately the underground shooters of this round are spending their dollars on other in-game benefits. Do you completely disagree with the content of this article? Let’s have another fancy discussion!
