I think that everyone should share some ideas that they may have for bringing pop back to JB. More specifically, what made you stop playing, if anything in particular? I think this discussion should be had because there is no moving forward as a server without addressing the issues. I'm hoping a thread documenting people's critiques of JB will help leadership in "fixing" the server.
I'll go first. I really want to see JB come back like many of you, but I personally can't justify playing on a server or AFKing when people just buy rep and fuck you over. Purchasing rep makes some games and LRs pay-to-win in a way. I think rep and gangs need another reset entirely, closing the shop isn't enough. Another critique I have is leadership inactivity, even before the server died. When JB came back, it was cool to be able to play with execute council, directors, devs, and everything in-between. That aspect of the game faded away over time, and it's a shame. Seeing people who most players have never heard of in the executive council gives the impression that they don't care about HG, and you wouldn't be wrong for thinking that.
