| Number of Crews Update |

After the update of the number of crews from 10 to 15, I have wondered if this has had any affect on:
- The number of killings recently
- The likelihood of crews being wiped
I interviewed a few Bootleggers members (mainly crew bosses or council members) to get their views on the matters.
After speaking to these people, it became apparent that they all believed the number had killing had risen. The reasons given were pretty much all the same.
By introducing these news spots, weak UG crews took the spots and were unable to fully establish themselves before they were targeted (more than likely due to their lack of experience and strength) and were wiped from the stats. Due to this, we have seen the arrival of many new names on the stats such as Ice, The Notorious Gangsters and The Black Death (to name a few) and also the return of old crews such as Winter Hill Gang, Mobb Figaz and Absolute Zero.
This will, therefore, be the reason of many of the deaths lately, but this begs the question: If UG crews keep making the stats and being wiped so quickly, will there be enough UG crews to keep the stats populated? Or will they give up trying to come back therefore causing the number of deaths to drop? Who knows?
Speaking with Eaglev14, he mentioned that even though crews may be easier to wipe at the moment, he is still unimpressed by the kill update. With the old system, he said a wipe could have been done in 2 to 3 minutes whereas now it takes 5 minutes just to kill a single person. This point once again questions how good the new update truly is? Though it doesnt seem to be holding anyone back at the moment but I wont go any further into that.
In conclusion, BSF and Sabin seem to have come up with a good update here, returning that certain spark back into the game but there is no certainty the spark will remain if the UG crews give up on returning to the stats and the 15 stats crews grow in strength.
