Which exactly defines the difference between the people making the rules and the one playing according to those rules. There are alot of people who actually "give" about these roleplayers, thinking otherwise can simply be described as ignorant. How are you planning on backing up that statement other than asking others to reply in this thread?
Yes, deathmatch is a large componant, perhaps the largest, but it does not define Las Venturas Playground. LVP is a world in which you can do whatever you want to do, regardless whether that is deathmatching, roleplaying, playing miniguns or hunting for the best paying property. Instead of blatantly saying noone cares about the people playing on the server for another purpose than deathmatching you could actually look around, and see that usually the quietest people ingame are the one doing RP. Does them not speaking immediately mean they can be ignored? No, it certainly does not.
I realize that it can be annoying when people teleport away from a fight, but what stops them? As Scrappy (who I believe shouldn't even be here) explained there are quite a number of commands that can be used to be escape from a fight. There can be timers, all kinds of checks, but the result stays the same, people will eventually find new ways to escape. A large portion of the players on LVP (who intend to deathmatch) are cowards, enough to keep finding new ways of escaping a battle. On the other hand, there are the non-deathmatch people. People trying to buy properties, just driving around the city in a vehicle or a motorbike or just mind their own business. These people are getting irritated by others shooting them whenever they come in sight, and for what purpose? Right, to increase your ratio.
It's simple, rules will make little difference in this case. Just leave players alone who have no interest in DM and if someone runs from a fight with you, simply do not fight him again. An idea might be to make a non-teleport area, but then we'll get people moaning at that. Try to look at this issue from different sides rather than just your own, it isn't that simple.
