Jobs

This is a very toxic type of thought that permeates most of Graal.

Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's good.

to make another point:
Just because you've played longer, doesn't make you any better/give you any rights.

I've played this server since 2002, and I wouldn't mind at all to see flower picking gone. Sure, it's been around for forever. Doesn't mean it should stay. First of all, it has no business being on a server based around gangs and gunplay, aside from the possible humour of a thug selling nicely wrapped bouquets to pay for his drug habit and fuel his violent rampages.
Secondly, it's not fun. At all. Remotely. Sorry. Yeah, I have memories of flower picking. Not many of them are good. And those that are don't involve the actual job, just events that happened while I was doing it.

This thinking is the exact thinking that's stagnating Era and keeping it from going anywhere.

DON'T MAKE NEW GANGS, THE OLD ONES HAVE THE HISTORY!
DON'T GIVE RAIDING PURPOSE, BACK IN THE DAY WE RAIDED JUST TO RAID.
DON'T MAKE NEW JOBS, THIS ONE'S BEEN AROUND FOR <X> YEARS AND IS VALIDATED BASED ON LIFE SPAN.

Look, Era's not like a safeway union. Yeah, okay, Finneus has been in the Deli Department 10 years longer than you. He's getting more pay (and you'd be fired before him) based on that alone. Yet most of the time, he's sitting in the corner eating half of the lunch meat that he just cut. And when he's not doing that, he's on a smoke break.

I'll let you decide if Finneus deserves that.

Let's just judge whether or not these new job ideas are good and better than flower picking, shall we?
