It was my understanding that that light pole was somehow responsible for the structural integrity of the sky. Removing it could have dire consequences...

As a criminal I used to enjoy the slower paced and more immersive gameplay of ram raiding. It was a moderately effective way to raise money that could be done solo or in small groups. It was a break from the fast paced and higher stakes of missions or fight club. As a cop I loved surprising such criminals and ruining their haul (or at least trying to). Years ago there was a change that made criminals able to be witnessed all the time after carrying a certain value in loot and cash, something like $2k or $2.5k. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind this was--whether it was some kind of attempt at gameplay or economy balance or something is unclear. But I can tell you that the result is that almost no one ram raids any more and it has spoiled the system. If GamersFirst feels that ram raiding is unbalanced for some reason, can they re-examine how to balance it? Because this method has not brought balance but has ended the practice almost entirely.

I see a lot of the in-game billboards and electric signs and stuff and have wondered for a few years now if GamersFirst has ever considered using Dynamic In-game Advertising (in a non-invasive way of course)? I don't mean to write you a proposal for it or anything, so he's my lazy list to prove that there is certainly precedence for this type of thing: The Three Types of In Game Advertising - Rapidfire Five Weird Video Game Sponsorship Deals - GameInformer (Soft Paywall) New York Times article on in-video game advertisements Other non-sourced: In the original The Sims Online, Electronic Arts had various advert deals with companies like Intel (Sims used Centrino Laptops) and McDonald's (You can open a McDonald's stand). Plus who could forget their offline Sims packs like H&M and Ikea Stuff (Sims 2). EA has also used this technique in games like Battlefield 4. Microsoft even had some XBox games that served adds for the then-candidate Former President Barack Obama. Note that since APB is rated M, you're also not restricted by some recent US legislation involving in-game advertising toward children. I also could imagine unique limited events such as being tasked to rescue "stolen" (by civilians) vans for X company (event sponsored by them, their logo on the vans) and take them to your local chop shop/impound to rewards. I literally have no incentive but have just been genuinely curious for quite a while about this concept. Since GamersFirst has a new parent company, I guess I just finally want to flat out ask.
