To Buy Or Not To Buy - It's No Longer The Question LadyinGray
They say everyone and everything has a price, however, is this really true?

On Bootleggers this does seem to be the case. We are able to buy almost anything from a casino down to friendships, however, when it comes to crew’s this may not be the case. Are we really able to buy a clean crew? Why is it that with this reset we are not able to, as normal players, have a crew?

Well it all comes down to this... crews are priceless, we are not able to buy a clean crew. You ask how am I able to state that, because as the age old saying goes: “Everything has its price."

After asking some of the crew bosses the question regarding this matter, most said they would not consider selling their crew. It was even suggested by one crew boss who wishes to remain nameless, “If my crew is taken over I will kill them, their friends and family.”

Here is what some other crew bosses said regarding this;

Alatariel one of the bosses of The Invisibles said "I don't think there would be an offer acceptable enough to have us want to give up the spot...at least not this round."

bigmomma1returns boss of Famiglia Tiratore said "The members are such good fun and loyal that you couldn't buy that and there is no other crew that I would want to be in, so therefore priceless."

Revelation boss CarlitoX simply said "Sorry its priceless."

Thus it brings into question why would they protect their crew so much and would never consider selling it? Most of the crew bosses went on to say it is because there is only 10 crew spots - they feel that it is important to maintain their crew and to protect it. They feel that their crew is nearly perfect.

So there we have it, the main reason why crew's have become priceless is because they are like gold dust. Having a crew is not for the normal, faint hearted player this reset. It seems that by having a crew you're showing commitment to the crew and to the protection of it.
