edit: It would be cool if there was another way to gain points besides kills. Bonuses for capturing a base somehow or something.
Question : Why were gang leaders determined not to lose points?
Answer : So other gangs couldn't gain points or rise above them in the ranking.

The removal of point-loss does not stop opposing gangs from gaining points if you die, lol. There hasn't been a difference in running or raid-avoidance since this change.

Ramsfan still tells his recruiters to not defend or raid if they'll lose or if they are losing. Due to the reason I just previously illuded to, the opposing gang will gain points, lessening or doing away with their lead.

So I ask again, what was solved?
