Afk grinding in the server has been an issue in the server in the sense that many people are sitting afk in several circles around the map trying to make as much money as possible (Mainly Turtles).
In my opinion the best way to fix this is to remove all sell locations for illegal jobs and replace them with selling the goods to npcs. The mechanic for this is already in the server, many drugs such as cocaine, weed, and stolen items can be sold to npcs. If we remove the sell locations and make it so you need to sell to locals it would spread the rp around the map.
People will need to find places with high population of npcs to maximize profits. The most common places would be the beach, Vinewood Strip, biker clubhouse, The entire gang area has many locals standing around, and the homeless near the strip club. This is already 5 large areas that will be used instead of 1 small circle, With many other places that I can't think of right now but I'm sure people will figure out.
At the start of the reset in January, there was also a system in place for cops to be notified of these drugs being sold to locals. This mechanic will still insure that cops are catching bad guys, and it can provide more interesting stake outs from the cops since the environments will be so much different. instead of the same few circles every month, the cops will have many more angles, rooftops, and places to set up surveillance in hot spots that I mentioned before such as the vinewood strip or the homeless area near the strip club.
I don't know how hard it is to implement this, but I do know both mechanics, (Selling to locals, and the cops being notified) have already been in the server at the beginning of the reset. Payout would need to be adjusted, since it will take longer to sell. Cocaine for example sold for 500 dollars each, and it would be sold in intervals of around 1-2 seconds at the sell location. The prices can be readjusted accordingly to how fast you can sell it in the best spots with lots of locals in the area.
The police being notified would also need to be adjusted, since when the system was still in place in January, the percent chance of them being called was really low (around 5% chance). Additionally the drug seller would be notified that the cops were called at which finding this out they could easily be across the map by the time cops arrive. If the seller was NOT notified however, he would have to choose whether he wants to risk selling more in the area, at the risk that the cops will arrive, or should he waste time and move to another place with locals and play it safe. Again I'm no developer but I do know that both things already exist or in the case of cops being notified, has existed in the past.
Sure people will still grind for money and not rp as much, but it will be active grinding now, which will expose them to more rp situations around the map. (Also more realistic selling to locals than dumping 2 tons of turtles at some grandma's backyard)
