Well, here we are, another Torn Discussion. Today's topic is the blacklist feature commonly used against muggers to stop them from buymugging players
Current lists available to players are Friends, Enemies, Blacklist, and the newly created Target List
All of the lists named above, of course, have their desired features, but in my personal opinion, I feel the Blacklist feature of disabling Exchanges is dreadfully overpowered in Torn. Of course, this is my opinion, and others will disagree for a reason
Now, the reason I bring this topic forward to the people of Torn is mainly due to the amount of protection traders receive. Torn is remarkably known as a Crime game; therefore, mugging is a categorically superb mechanic in this game, and day by day it is slowly dying (unless you've Discord bots). The number of suitable mugs worth attempting is diminishing, and it's all due to the current list of protections that traders receive
- 15 Sec Travel immunity
- 60 sec Ranked war immunity (only for Outside muggers)
- 75% mug protection (Clothing Store)
- Anonymouse Listing (10% fee)
- Disabling Exchanges for Blacklisted People
- Auction Blacklist bidding
- Standard mug protection (12 Hours) ?
- Ghosts Trading
- Ability to Trade in Hospital
Now I get it, there has to be some sort of fair balance, but is this not a little over the top for traders? IN A CRIME GAME???
Again, feel free to shoot down this post, but again, in my opinion, it's very 1 sided and could do with some reworks in the future, maybe every year, along with your Merits reset, enemy lists get wiped?? or the exchange feature gets removed which would in theory increase players activity as if they want to become a known trader they will be conisistently active hourly?? I'm just brain-squeezing here, but speak your thoughts down below
