The banking system is the major problem for new players. In my opinion, all new players (with no plus points), should be able to use ATMs.
Firstly, they don't really know/understand how banking in 24/7 shops for the first 10 hours of gameplay works.
Secondly, they always get killed by the DM'ers when they try to take their money to the 24/7 shops. This makes them lose their money and quit.
In 2.94, the locations of all ATMs are marked with green $ symbols, so I think it should be pretty easy for such players to utilize ATMs.
Regarding the bank limit, I don't think it's a good idea to offer increments via achievements. Many players don't even know the kind of achievements that can be completed and there's no guarantee that they'll be able to complete them. There's no reason to limit their bank accounts due to this.
In 2.94, the bank limit system is also bugged, which I've reported various times. When players receive 1 plus point and upgrade to a professional account, they directly get a limit of $750 milion. This should be fixed and changed back to the old system where they receive a +$20 million limit for each plus point, until 200 hours. After that, they can pay and upgrade their limit gradually.
The economy doesn't really need changes, to be honest. We do have 450+ properties but most of them cost between 100k ~ 400k which doesn't help the regulars at all. Personally, I only have a list of 20 properties to buy when I want to earn money. Small properties that pay out 10k ~ 20k a minute are worthless. They only help new players.
If you want more amount of money to be used, just make houses and their features a bit expensive. Weapon prices have already gone up quite a lot.
Making money isn't all that easy for new players. The exports' reward has also been decreased quite a lot. Players used to get money for exports depending on the type of vehicle, from where it is, etc. Now, each export only fetches a stand $91200. Minigames hardly give any money. Upgrading the bank limit from $400 million to $2 billion already drains the bank accounts of players, since they have to pay double the money with respect to the increased limit.
I don't think much improvements can be made to properties. Most of the properties are just missing flags since 2.94, which made some of them special. For example, the Area 69 tower enabling the owner to teleport for free and earn money for each teleport, Ammu-nation refilling the owners' armor and Fort carson medical center refilling the owners' health. If they get added again, it should be sufficient.
Also, +1 to Drug's idea about betting on duels. This would make things really interesting.
