Bootleggers' Sound Off MsNyxxie
Sound Off!

Last week's question was "What do you think of the idea of 10 crews?" I was really happy with the results and glad everyone imputted their information! Remember, the power of the press is incredible and we together can change this game in ways only one cannot. Here are some of your responses! Read below for the next topic and check the Off Topic Forum for a post where you can input your own information!

I love the idea of only 10 crews. Players complained and complained that the game was too easy. Now we have plenty to aim for. Prices are high, crews are low. It makes it harder and makes it far more fun!

We need more crews, at least 5 more!
- Gangsterv300

I think 10 is enough as any more and every active member would be in a crew making them pointless! but on the other hand, more crews could be more action!
-PoisonBullet

I think ten crews is fine for the moment.I used to disagree but their isn't enough users for a need for more.

Based on the response Sabin gave about current crews not being to capacity, I would have to say we should have 5-10 more crews. While crews are not at full capacity, many dont want new random members. Therefore, they are at their personal full capacity. There are many people without a crew either because they are waiting for a crew spot for their UG crew or the current crews dont want them. The crew feature is one that should be able to be enjoyed by the majority of Bootlegger players who wish to enjoy it. As a result, the best option for these players is to add some more crews. But not so many that every Dick and Jane can start their own crew. But enough so most players get the opportunity to join one and experience this fine feature of Bootleggers should they so choose.

10 crews makes the game more interesting. With so many underground crews wanting to get crew slots and so many crews wanting to keep theirs it makes a good cycle in the game. It keeps money flowing with bullet purchasing, people aren't just sitting in crews building up a crap load of cash like last round. It creates alot of enemies between people looking for vengance for their crew.
-MrCarrington

It is a common theme that there should be more crew spots in BootLeggers. I completely disagree! 10 crew spots gives the members of that crew a feeling of being exclusive. Not everyone can get into a crew and you are doing something right to have a place in the top 10. You actually have to work hard and make friends to even get into a crew! No more 20+ crews
scrambling to fill slots. Having 10 crews also makes a crew takeover much more exciting. It is hard to miss a takeover now! But if there are 20+ crews with 1-3 crew takeovers a week, an average player tends to become desensitized to this and no longer reacts to the news.

THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
Low Max-Bets seem to be a big problem in the game. What is your point of view and what should be done to avoid this delemia?
Sound off in the OTF after MsNyxxie makes an official topic!
