    Hello,there are a few items that could help you within the secondary category,such as :Colby Ap.45(close-mid range),Joker RFP Fang[(really good for cqc loadouts)(goes well with pmg,oca,shotguns)],also there are the FROG Pistols which,depending on your main weapon,could be effective (ex Frog Kokoe with hvr).Or there are also the yukon-like weapons but i suggest you take the legendary one.

    I hope this is a troll,first off all why would they compensate something that they didn't sell in the first place?Second of all,have you guys ever considered how much money they will lose if they actually do a refund?We as a community should be happy if the prices go down,plus nobody made us buy anything,we did it on our own.Sure,the prices are high as NASA's rocket ship but in the end we are responsible for what we do with our money.I am not saying that you guys don't have a point about this.I am saying that a refund is never gonna happen because that means no one going to buy g1c for a very long time if they do. To be honest that would be pretty dumb on their side to give away things just like that.Bottom of line,yes they should cut the prices a lil bit but no way they will make such a bad marketing move as a "refund" since they need to invest a bunch right now on game performance(servers,anticheat yada yada yada).If they refund right now all that,they ain't gonna see no profit for quite a while and i believe it is in their best interest to make money,considering how much they have to spend in order to actually maintain the game in the long run.

    2(thousand) cents about players and GM recruitment. (long msg, so TLDR: idk... tis' too long to shorten :classic_huh:)
     

    A lot of people feel apprehensive by the idea of recruiting GM's among players (without prior experiences, i'd probably be counted among them), 
    but that's why I wanted to shed some experience on the matter.

     

    A long time ago in a galaxy blah blah....I used to run a F2P game that had similar number of online players as APB in better days, over a thousand often with a peak of 2500.

    We started out only myself and 1 other admin, so we quickly realized we would need help and fast.
    We had email support similar as LO and ontop of that we had an in-game query system similar to those familiar with world of warcraft, where you petitioned to talk with staff and
    a GM would respond your queries and have a 1on1 chat about your problem. The game ran for almost 10 years, solely based on a F2P model, while being maintained by donations alone,
    in which you could only get in-game cosmetics in return. All our staff was volunteer, including programmers, website admin, moderators etc etc and all recruited from the player-base,
    by two students, with no prior experience in recruitment or let alone how to run a game server with thousands of people relying on you keeping their things safe and servers up.
     

    In that decade we obviously went through a number of GMs and yes we definitely had our share of bad apples to filter out during screening interviews, 
    yet it was really a rare situation having to warn a GM for inappropriate behavior. In our whole time we fired 2-3 GM's for minor things and one for a severe attempt at scamming.
    A lot of people, when given some tasks and a certain amount of trust, will actually live up to it and are able to place themselves above in-game rivalries and in a rare case that someone
    couldn't, we had the tools to spot it.
    I'm certain APB has ranks among staff (I mean programmed ranks, not just a title) and countless ways to maintain staff integrity within APB and the unreal engine, especially while having a team of dedicated admins.. We had it where any higher staff, i.e. admins & a lead GM could always see what any GM was up to, and we always ensured one admin was online, i.e. taking shifts as necessary. Aside from being able to "spy" on any actions and movements of your GM's, we had a bunch of auto-security. I.e. coded alerts that would pop-off only for admins, showing certain command warnings if a GM had attempted using it, or if a GM was following the same player for extended time or bringing up a players logs without being on a query response with that player and full logs of every single move/action if ever needed to look at a GM under a microscope.

    I understand it is a big concern to imagine that players who might dislike or rival each-other in the game, could potentially be the GM you just thanked for helping you out...
    But I do trust that LO has the means of overseeing their GM's and will take advantage of it, far better than the old management ever did. If a couple of students could do that,
    I really don't see a problem in LO choosing that route, do you? LO so far seem very on top of things and very hands-on.


     

    Finally, if the choice falls between seeing a lot of active staff and a few active admins to monitor and manage this staff 
    versus few active staff with one very active admin (you know who);
    Well, take a look back at these last 3 years. How often did you see a GM? let alone see them interact? imho because they insisted on having a small number of in-house GM's
    who received a paycheck, which they less and less was willing, if even able to afford.
     

    It's a lot of resources paying GM's for a job that could be done by volunteers (under the right management). <-- KEYWORD. :classic_ninja:
    Those resources are arguably far better spent on engine development, patching new content and protection against cheats, ddos and other game-breaking things.
     

    imHo.

        I understand that you may have experience in this line of work and to be honest i would have nothing against you being a GM,but however the in-game experience you provide along with with the fact that you guys i mean Kitty aswell provide such a toxic environment sometimes,i sincerely think,providing  you with such authority might be damaging in the long run.Plus the fact that every player that manages to beat your ways of gaming or managing to defeat you is considered a cheater (more or less) doesn't really inspire me a lot of trust in your way of handling things as a game moderator wich has a lot of power over other players.I am not saying that you are a toxic person or that you might not be eligible for the role,all i am saying however is that till now you didn't really inspire much trust in players and right now i consider recommending you for a higher function than a player could be a mistake since from what i saw in various districts you are way to subjective.i am sorry if i sound mean in any way,that is not my intention.

     

     However,something like a SPCM might be more applicable for you.This in just my opinion,it doesn't count for anything and it has no relevance in what so ever,i just felt like saying it

    To be honest, he was a funny dude "God Of APB". Sure he was a pain in the a**, but understand me. He wasn't one of these: "I'm not cheating, I'm just having lags :^)"

    He was honest at least xD

     

    FilmV28: Hello peasants, your GOD has came back. 

    Broadcast: Player FilmV28 got banned (blah blah)

    FilmV29: Hello peasants. Had some internet connection problems. 

     

    He was the only cheater I like as a person, not as a cheater, don't get me wrong.

    Hi

     

    In your plan unban most of cheaters but could you pleas proove they was not cheating in game. I fed up from cheaters who used macros and wh and I spent to many times to do reasonable video report at them. I saw years how they used macros and wh. Of course you will not see on FF logs why they was banned but dont forget about video reports. I reported at guys who played with macros too many years and they was banned and I suppose you will unban them. Very thank you. Very good decision. Congratulation. All we are waited to see this in game. Before unbanning them please give us a proof they was not cheating and fool list of your lovely cheaters who will be unbanned if you respect people who is playing in game. And dont need to say bad player with macros is bad player.... Macros is a third software and whatever you say the macros is advantage

     

    And this decision... we will not translate the bans because they are toxic but we will do member reputation on our forum... I dont care about this reputation and what people is thinking about me coz most here are kids but your decision is totally wrong. You have to shame cheaters but you shame people on your forum who is playing fair and give own fair opinion to you... very strange decisions 

    Look,people deserve a second chance,i do agree with you that what they did is wrong and shameful but they got punished for it and maybe they learned their lesson.Lets not resume to hate,plus if they cheat again that is it for them,they will wind up banned again and i doubt they will see any more mercy

    aaaaaaaaaand people could finally show that there are not hacking )))

    to be honest i would be happy if people will get unbanned and keep it straight.I mean sure they cheated before(maybe) but in my opinion they deserve a second chance to prove everyone what they are made of.I mean if you actually consider none of them were actually bad players they just wanned more than they could achieve.
