[Suggestion] The cost of using commands
#11
I do agree with HoogerBooger in the part that Teleporting should be considered a luxury, and should require more money.

But not taxi, because taxi only takes you to certain parts of San Andreas, not specific parts.
#12
either way the /taxi command was made to go to places quickly.. not for escaping death.
#13
So, use Woet's idea. Its towards the bottom of the first page on the ideas that aren't open for discussion.
The /taxi, /dive and /world remain cheap enough for new/roleplayers to use, but due to the commands being unavailable 30 seconds after the last health drop, stops people from using them to avoid death.
#14
Or, just have the cost of using these commands rise as the player gains time ingame, in 20-hours intervals.

I am a deathmatcher. I don't care about driving around, I just like to /taxi or /teleport somewhere into a fight and start shooting. The cars  & prices don't matter that much too me.

Well the spawn points aren't really far from each other, 30sec - 1:15 min drive in the LV. From the way I see it you are a perfect example of a lazy player. Secondly I think the cap between the death and the arrival to the fight area is exactly what's missing right now. Here is an example...let's say I am in a 3 vs 1 fight and winning the fight, I kill 2 of them and suddenly the 2 already killed players /tp back so it's again 3 vs 1 and the odds are pretty good that I will be the one getting smoked eventually.

A taxi command is intended to be RP, but really it eliminates a lot of the sense of RP when traveling. I think players should be urged to drive themselves to places -- since when do gangsters get a cab to their next gang war?!

Amen to that.

Then it's just a bad day for you if you manage to withdraw all your cash and actually get killed shortly after. If that really happens, then I think you deserved it haha.

If you withdraw all your money, unless you're new or really poor, you'll get caught by anti-cheat. So if you don't get auto-banned for withdrawing all your money, you can just get your money back by working for it...or wait for Peter to come online.
