    Busting based on body size is shameful. Skinny folk should be busted too. Justice escapes for all.

    Is it based on your overall NB? Mines currently 100.

I've noticed my busting success rate in the past week has reduced significantly, particularly with the higher levels.

I was jailed for failing a bust, and this is the list of people who couldn't bust me. Normally should only take 1-2 people (lvl 90+) before i'm out. So I suspect there has been a change that isn't reflected in the patch notes.

Anyone else notice anything similar?

Can't do the time, don't do da crime. Why would you want to steal a virtual tank top from a poor virtual store owner, anyways???

I've been using the 10-star legal perk, which shows the % chance of busting someone. I'm not having any problems even busting several in a row, but I'm only going for low-level busts.

I suggest finding a high-level player in a legal firm to check the percents on busting high level players.

I’ve noticed it too. People who I should have no trouble busting are getting me thrown in jail. I think it’s because so many of you are loud whiny people who don’t know how to properly sneak out of jail when you are being busted!!!!

There weren't any patchnotes this week, so it's possible this was a planned change, but not mentioned in the non-existing patchnotes.

Let's hope if busting is harder to do, there's more incentive to do it (another unannounced change?). Since it was nerfed a few years back, very few newer players bother with busting.

I haven't noticed, to be honest, and I bust quite a lot. It could just be RNG. Then again I have every single busting bonus in the game (other than the book), so I am probably not a good case. Will test it out over the course of the next few days...

^ Eddeh here is the name that pops up most from people busting me or trying too. Thank you for making Drug Crimes more bearable! Only 4.5k to go now.
