[DEBATE] RP for RP Points, Good or Bad?

[Rolorox]

The current system for distributing points is flawed as it involves a person to issue them.

Points should be distributed automatically for things such as:

Fireman put out X amount of fires in X time
Paramedics healed X amount of players in X time
Police issued X amount of successful warrants in X time

"in X time" could be something like 'put out 5 fires every day for 5 days straight'.
^ To prevent abuse.

That way you automatically receive Role-Play Points for doing Role-Play.

Why?
Because you can only get certain items now for RP points, and when no one is giving them out, players can never get the items.

Atm you probably get RP points for being friends with an admin and stopping at a red light.
*Admins there like*... oh nice role play there buddy, have a point

-edit-
The automation of RP points should also require you to have a certain amount of game time before you start receiving points automatically.
(ie)
Start issuing points automatically once player has reached X amount of days (IG Time) play time.

Not only is this not a good idea but this way you see roleplay points is just wrong. Especially thinking we just hand them out to friends. People get roleplay points when they roleplay exceptionally. They have to be actively engaged in their rp. The best thing you can do is make a roleplay that people need. Something that gets more people involved is more likely to earn you a roleplay point (obviously still only if rp'd well). People always say "I do so much rp and never get a point". Literally everyone on this server is roleplaying at all times. The points are not for roleplaying, they are for showing exceptional abilities in roleplay to go above and beyond to help create the atmosphere of a city. I would much rather give an rp point to someone who has a family run laundromat, then someone who is running a gambling dupe or just another normal looking resturant. Make it unique and use lots of /me /it. Every action you do should be rp'd. You are not going to earn a point if you simply do something like.... "hey can I get a burger"... "sure", /me makes burger. "here you go". I mean yeah its nice but roleplay points should be hard to get and feel like a real achievement. Not just alright lets roleplay for a couple hours, oh I got a point, on to the next one.

Trust me, I know lots of staff members look around when they are on. People still get rp points. But not many people try to be unique or roleplay exceptionally so it doesn't happen often.
