    I'll get that right in your head. Monopolising is a problem that leads to the basing being non-competitive. Because of monopolising, gangs who want to base cannot get the bases, hence they are discouraged. This leads to non-competitive environment.
    I suggest that taxes and regulations be imposed on monopolising gangs as a deregulatory measure so that we can get the competitveness up. It is a way to encourage basing by newer gangs when we restrain those who are overpowered. It is not a punishment for basing or playing the game, but a necessary intervention to make the basing sector more competitive, and based upon equality - where everyone gets their fair share of hours without any overpowered dominating force hoarding the bases.

    I also suggested that the hours by experienced gangs be capped, which means that the taxes won't apply until they have hit the cap. The taxes are there to discourage these gangs from basing more, so as to allow other newer gangs to get the bases. I am not taking any of their freedom to base with the tax, because if they want to do so they can still do it at a price.

    Taxes are not a punishment, it is a measure to achieve equality and maintain the competitiveness of the sector.
    You emphasize economics and basing too much.
    None of them pertain to each other. Basing doesn't create wealth. Basing's something you do as a collective, everyone has to be fluidly involved with one another in order for it to work out.

    You've essentially repeated this idea 8 times and you're still not bringing up any argument to say that I'm wrong. Much rather, all you did was summarize everything you've just said in bolder pretenses.

    You fail to realize that there's multiple reasons why monopolization occurs and you seem so hard-headed on the idea that it's just gangs allying each other.

    Monopolization also occurs when gangs manage to create a squadron which carries some sort of reputation. The better you are at basing, the more likely you are to get help.

    Weapons are also still a reason why bases are so hard to get. Surely, you would've also realized that PSGs are basically the new BARs these days.

    There's a lot of layers to this, monopolization not being the only one. There's also weapons that are still overpowered. Players that simply are better than others, and recruiting lists that are better simply based on ability.

    So no, it's not only that gangs have a hard time getting started based on competition. You also need a 'prove it or move it' ideology for anyone to give you any respect.

    Taxes are a punishment, especially when you seem to think that gang owners carry moneybags in their Gralat counts.
