A summary of the changes that you want
Lower the bank limit, to 2 million for non donators and 3.5 million for donators, also add more things to spend cash on, but this should not be ridiculous prices like 2 million etc.
The advantages of this change happening
Althought some people might be against this I think this will improve gameplay: This will make players loose their cash faster, meaning they'd have to go out and do stuff to earn cash again, like it was in the old days, fight eachother more instead of camping at one spot to earn cash etc etc. Some stuff like camouflages & special shop items should cost a little less with this lower bank limit, so everything would still be in balance.
Some arguments:
Historical:
In the beginning of LW the cash on your bank wasnt saved, if you went outside the game for more than 5 minutes.
Players had to go to the ship and had buyout wars to get cash. This was fun and this is why some players loved LW.
After a server restart, there were big fights for a place on the ship. Ppl tried to get fast some money to buy some respawns and shops to get enough cash. This was a lot of action.
Nowadays most ppl got enough cash all the time. Through admin minigames and races a lot more cash flows on the server.
That, in my opinion is the problem. If there's nothing to spend money on then cut down on the cash giving. Cash grows too fast, the growth needs to slow in my opinion. If you need something to remove money, then I do quite like the idea of taxing people over periods of time using a constant % though, much like in LVP.
I think it's a good idea. Would bring a lot more life and fun at the ships.
This way, everyone will be equal.
I vote Yes.
I voted yes. I remember the early 0.1b days of lw's where you couldn't save cash, and I would figure out a quick way to get rich, that was so fun, you allways had something to do. Nowadays I come in, I have like 50mil spread over several accounts, so I always have plenty of money, and then I just walk around. This suggestion would be a great challenge!

Good idea! Bad idea ! >:( :o

I don't support this that much, but 2mils is better than 250k what was suggested before. lol, I used 300k every time I log in on weapons.
+1 :)
-
Uhm..
I think 2 millions is not enough.. :-\
-
4mill and i then i say yes til then no
-
2 millions is exactly enough, like I said this will force people to go out and 'earn' cash again, at the moment every got enough cash, most of us got a full bank like 8 million, you can buy spawn weapons with that about 25 times, and in the mean time you'll probably collected enough cash again to make your bank full. With 2 million max you can buy spawn weapons about 7 times before you run out (if you buy for around 300.000 of spawnweapons), which is MUCH better, this will make people try and earn cash again, properties etc, more killing etc.
-
you can buy spawn weapons with that about 25 times
It's more like 20 times, 10 if the server restarts a lots of times :)
Oh well...
-
at the other side it can be good tho i bought alot of times weapons with 2mmill xD
-
The weapons reset after server crash/restart is trying to be fixed though.
-
nice idea but 4 mil are better
-
Sure, good idea, but then be sure that money earning would become a bit easier. Things such as car export should do the trick.
-
-1 >:(
-
in the past where no bank saved the cash for longer than 5 min offgame, money was really important.
Even friends killed each other to get some.
It was really dangerous to drive around with more than 5k.
2 millions and 3.5 for donators... mhnn I think it is still too much.
-
this is a bad idea, it should be like it was when i first played LW, 5mill max and thats it, because if it happens to go down to 2/3.5 mill races will only be created by admins and the special weapons will only be purchased by admins... you see the problem, i can admit 8mill/12mill at the current time is way to much so why not go back to the 5mill bank limit ?
And if you still think is to much just put a % (e.g VAT) say 17.5% for non-VIP's and 15% of VIP's and it takes that amount out of your bank each month

i don't really like the idea of lowering the bank as i don't play that much any more and having to play for 30 mins to get money is a pain in the ass. i don't really see why every one wants it to be lower after its been raised many times over the last year.
-
Bring in the banks with no limits! No seriously, it's not so much the bank limit as it is the need to purchase stuff with it. If the bank limit is lowered, so should the special shop items and there be more stuff to earn money with. And kill off gambling, because it's lame and isolated from the gameplay of everyone, contrary to props, ships, bounties, races, all somewhat integrated with the DM gamemode.

very good idea

Actually, i totally agree with Nado/EJxx. (i hate that ejxx name lol)
-
Bad, BAD idea. Too little. In addition, if you stick with what money? We grab and play at the casino or begging?

The point is Beyonce (what a name) that you dont just camp at nammu, being useless with all your allies. Now you really have to earn money, and there are waaaaaay more ways then just casino. I remember from the old days that i camped as long as i could on the pirate ship, to earn 10,000, to buy the tattoo palour, and when i had enough, i bought the zip, and so on :D Or races, they will become more intresting too.

i think we need more bank account space. only 8mill....

For what? Do you spend 3 mil on every time you buy spawn weps or something?
-

I think 8M is very much. Not low, well how it is.

well that's great! you're playing the gamemode how it was ment to be, except the gambling part..
-
I thought that topic is dead now. And you dont do that with bank limits etc.
-
I think 3m would be reasonable limit.
Spend 300k on spawn weapons each time you log on.
Do that 10 times, and thats all your money gone
I think thats quite reasonable ::)
-
8mil is too little. I like to stockpile all my shit.
Unless i dedicate an entire day to playing sa-mp, im never using any weapon other than a deagle. Because i'd be afraid to buy weapons, then have to leave my house for a few hours. With 8mil, at least im not afraid to host a race, or buy 300k worth of weapons just for 30 minutes of gameplay. Because it would take forever to lose it all.
Maybe if i had no life, and spent my entire day on samp, this would be a good suggestion. I like being able to log on, spend cash on weapons, kill a few people, collect their 500 dollar reward, then leave.
