As much as i agree with most things whippy, i think money = buy guns hoo america, does make sense. If guns were ONLY attainable through pks then we'd have a whole lot of sweaty tryhards and probably a fair bit of toxicity. It also limits what you can do right from the get-go. Minimal diversity gets stale, using the same weapon or weapon type forever + ever causes burnout pretty quick.

The issue with sparring isnt that losses are tracked, you can just hide your stats. The issue is the general reception before and after sparring. Its toxic. Like, Chernobyl met Nagisaki, had really angry reproduction, and made a really angry kid that bullies people for their lunch momey in grade-school-type toxic. To me, toxic isnt fun. Also as a personal gripe i dont see how a square box fits as a spar arena for gun-slingin'. It works with classic sure, but with the box arena being as it is, 99 percent of players rush straight to the bottom of the arena and hug it, which is effective stupidly (i wont go into detail why its effective but its to do with the hitboxes).

But back to basing. I dont see a reason why only getting gp in bases is a bad thing. This funnels the pkers into a few places where they can violently shoot at other like-minded pkers. Ever pked outside of bases (and i dont mean spawn killing literally outside of bases)? It sucks. The low player count and the big map means the entire player base is mostly spread out if not in-front of saloon that is.

I forget what else to note here but im sure ill forget something and then not add it because im lazy

Oh yeah melee skins. I like the idea but small problem. Youd have no idea what melee someone is using, what if some guy disguised his super hs melee of utter destruction as a cactus melee or something, sounds kinda fiunny typing it actually but it would be chaos.
