What will happen to my feedback?
Feedback is mostly a way to keep track of things. Bug reports and suggestions are written down here so they don’t get lost in chat or on Discord. Every item is read. From there, one of a few things can happen:
- It gets fixed or added, exactly as written. For example, a small bug like “the door of this car can’t be closed” might be fixed within a day.
- It gets done in part. For example, a suggestion for ten new features might lead to two of them being added.
- It gives someone an idea for something else. For example, a suggestion to add more parking in Los Santos might not happen, but it could lead to a wider parking system rework later on.
- It just stays on the list. Nothing happens to it for now, but it’s on record so it can be found later.
Not every bug report or suggestion will be done, and not every one will get a reply. That doesn’t mean it was ignored. An item can sit for weeks, months, or even years before anything visible happens to it. Sometimes it shapes a later decision quietly, without ever being marked “done”.
This isn’t because feedback isn’t wanted. It’s the opposite. There is just always more to do than there is time for, and the direction the server is going won’t always match what one player wants. Some good ideas don’t fit the server. Some good ideas fit, but only later. For example, a great suggestion about gangs might wait a year if the team is busy fixing the economy.
Votes help us see what players care about, but they are not the only thing we look at. A suggestion can get hundreds of upvotes and still not happen. We also look at balance, abuse risk, development time, fairness, and whether it fits the server.
Submitting feedback is still worth it. It puts the idea on record, lets others vote and discuss it, and makes it easy to find when related work happens later. The best thing you can do is describe the bug or idea clearly, vote on the ones you care about, and let the rest sit. It’s not lost.
Money and balance
Money is important to the server economy, so ideas about earning money are judged carefully. If a system gives money, it should require activity, effort, time, and some risk.
For example, trucking works because the player has to take a truck, drive a route, deliver cargo, and spend time doing the work. Money transport works because players need the right job, vehicle, and location. Business money also depends on activity around that business, and it can be affected by taxes or robbery.
The same applies to suggestions that make things cheaper. Lower prices, lower fees, or easier access to expensive things can affect the whole economy. A good suggestion should explain why the current cost is a problem, what effort or tradeoff should still exist, and why the change would be fair.
We do not want systems that give random money or value for nothing. A suggestion like “make things cheaper” or “give every player free money every hour” is not likely to be accepted. A better suggestion explains what the player has to do, how long it takes, what can go wrong, and why the reward or discount is fair.
