Okay, we can all agree that it's awesome to have full police protection for a week and not pay protection money to the cops, but between the Consiglieri and free Don points at the moment, how many people actually pay protection money anymore?
It used to mean something being capo of an area and for me, it was a real motivation to try and mob up and force another play away from being capo.
It just seems too easy to get Consiglieri. I have about 14, just from missions. That 14 weeks of full income! and I'm sure I'll get more before that time is up.

Anyway, what do you guys think, too easy to keep full income now? Or would rather have protection and not fight?

Well for newer players like me we want to have protection for at least the first month until we are on our feet.

Capo has always been more about the bragging rights. If you ask me that's a lot right there. I fight a war against an alliance and take the capo of their supposed safezone and it can't help but be demoralizing. Even for some of the more hardened vets

I agree, for newer players it is an important loot item.
Perhaps for newer players, the cops shouldn't receive protection money till you reach a certain number of turf or influence etc. That way it would help out new players, but then later, there would still be an incentive to be top dog.
I just think everything should be done to encourage fighting, it's easily the best thing about the game.

You can use in-game money to pay the cops if you got rid of the don point option & consiglieri. Considering the huge & quick growth of mobs & the cost of arming them, taking away income would not be beneficial. War is expensive & I could see this causing people to fight less.

I wouldn't mind still having the buy protection from the Don option, that is assuming the free don points promotion ends one day, I just think it's far too easy getting full protection.

I know my income drops several million without protection and that is a HUGE incentive to attack and become Capo, but with protection so readily available, I just think what's the point of chasing Capo, I still get paid...

I would love to see the massive players challenged for their Capo status, surely it can only be a good thing? People wouldn't be able to sit there and amass as much money as they normal get, but that's the point, we need to create action.

No I don't like this idea we need a newb protection. 1month no police!

Fighting is in fine shape. Having wars have very little to no dependency in the capo title. Yet getting capo in war always adds a cool twist. I think that when you're now it seems like capo should be object of the game but after you've been here for a long time you find much more fun objects of interest

Get rid of the free police protection!! I have 29 weeks worth, bit of a joke now, I'm sure 5 points a week ain't much.. Give us more maps instead!!

You use 1 Consiglieri for 7 days of protection, in the last 7 days I have lootted 3 Consiglieri. Sure they are great, but maybe make them rarer or something? At this rate I will be set for a couple of years.

Why are you complaining about this?

The reason for the complaint is that this is taking away the point of trying to get a capo of your city. I like the idea but they are to easy to get, I would like to work a tad bit harder to get these.

Then you can go fight a large player for a capo. IMO it doesn't change the point of having a capo at all. There are already plenty of reasons people fight; I don't think it's necessary to create more reasons.
