To those who say it was better with only deagle because now you don't have to earn money, I must tell you that you are wrong, because
you still need to earn money to buy more ammo, since the uzis with 300 bullets run out of ammo in a moment. Also, there are other weapons that aren't given to you (like rifles, AK47 and M4), so right now it's a balanced intermediate point between the instant fun and the need to earn money.
Also, remember that
you can spend money on many other things and not only on weapons: hosting races, putting bounties, buying properties, special items, etc.
Gryphus, I agree that now when its almost imposible for newbies to enter ammo without dying giving them only deagle is bad (causes people to leave). But that rly wasnt that bad when everyone was starting with nothing. However most of the players dont agree with me in this so i guess thats just my personal feeling 
With "starting with nothing" you mean when the bank didn't save your money, don't you? well,
that's even worse, because if you want to have good weapons you don't only have to withdraw money from the bank and go to Ammu with stress, paying attention to your possible enemies wanting to kill you, but also you first have to earn all that money from scratch!!!!
when a player joins a server he wants to start killing from the just moment he starts playing, and not after an entire hour of hard work. Banks not saving money would be good only if, apart from the good default weapons and the car exports, we had also the races autohosted by the system.
But Miczi, if you like to start with no money like in the old times, you can always use an unregistered nick, or just use your current one but without saving any money in the bank.
I can understand that some people want to work for things instead of having them all from the very first moment. However, all those things that you have to get, should be saved and not lost each time you leave the game (like in single player mode), because otherwise it gets really annoying and frustrating to be forced to repeat the same hard work over and over again.
Can you imagine that in single player mode (in San Andreas or in any other game)
your progress weren't saved, and each time you wanted to use a certain vehicle or weapon you had to repeat the whole story to unlock that thing?? It would suck ehh?
If you like to start with only deagle, take a look on my new suggestion: http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13426.0.html
