I think money in the bank should recive a litle bit of intrest. it dosnt have to be much and there could still be the handling fee, but it would be nice if we gain something from leaving are money in the bank.

Like it.

The gain is that the money in it can't be taken. So intrest would be stupid

I agree with danidoni it's pretty hard to get you to put your money in a bank for protection when you loose 15%. It's like it was stolen

no it doesn't. This is based on mob banks. The concept is like putting dirty money in and taking clean money out. This is not like your local chase. Please remember in this game you are a mobster. You wouldn't exactly be able to deposit in your local branch

Lol I can imagine that so well...

I think banking is also discouraged. Think about it. If you earned interest on money instead of paying, everyone would just bank all there money.

If no one has money on hand, what's the point of fighting? And it would probably lead to a whole lot more capturing of turf as that would be the only reward for attacking.

the aim of the game is to capture other peoples turf so why would it be viewed as a bad thing if that's the only thing worth atacking?
ChainsawCharlie Jul 24, 2010

You can't always capture turf though. Fighting is a good way to make money when there are no turfs in ranges. You have to finance your turf hops somehow, right?

I like the idea in principle, but the downsides to a bank that is too attactive have already been mentioned. There would need to a careful balance between the cost and reward of the bank to get people to put SOME money in, but keep SOME out.

For example (and these are just examples) the deposit penalty is raised to 50% or higher, but the interest rate pays 0.1% per day.

That way, you can put some money away if you're a bit flush, and leave it to give a little boost to income, but can't be used to simply "hide" it without taking a big hit. And over time, with more deposits, that trickle will grow...

Or add random bank robberies by the Don.

No deposit fee. 10% interest, but a risk of losing it all.

How funny would that be to get a message staing that

"Your bank has just been robbed. All your cash are belong to Don"

Yeah we have a whole AML section to prevent just this type of thing.

Or maybe you could do a special mission to rob the bank, but if you succeed it sends a message to everyone who lost any money that you took it?
