Mostly everyone on this list is inactive. If you're on the list and active, ask me and I'll take you off.
Inactives will have their load-outs shown next to their stats. Here's a guide on how to use it:
Green = you can beat them if you're 25% of their stats
Yellow = you can beat them if you're 60% of their stats
Red = you might beat them if you're equal to their stats

I want to preface this by saying I highly doubt ranked warring will be incentivized past just a rank. Rackets existed solely to incentivize warring but of course the top 5 factions found a very obvious loophole in that logic. Just throw in allies all around them and soak up majority of the profits. As of now, NS makes 38% of the profits of the ENTIRE map. But how much is that? Let's see.
As of today rackets spawn: 6.76b daily, 47.3b weekly, and 203b monthly. So rackets are creating roughly 2.4T a year that is exclusively going to a few factions. A good portion of it directly funneled to the strongest faction being NS.
I'm all for the strongest getting the best profits but to what extent? As of now, this is just broken. There's so much broken shit in this game that has gotten fixed and unsurprisingly majority of the people who reaped the benefits of that system are among this one as well. When rackets only benefit a small fraction of the game and exclude countless factions should it exist? To me, no.
So what's a better option? Put it in ranked warring, that's a 203b prize pool monthly just off rackets.
If you don't want to get rid of rackets entirely, you can turn them into passives like gym gain percentages/stat boosters and what not. People would fight over rackets to help them in ranked warring. That would add so many layers to ranked warring that it could even be strategic.
I don't know how Ranked Warring will work.... so let's say only 5 factions can get in the highest rank. Everyone there splits 30% of the prize pool. Or maybe another method could be #1/#2/#3/#4/#5 get a 9%/7%/6%/4.5%/3.5% split.
Maybe a descending ranking system where the higher you are within the rank you'll get more money from the prize pool. So being #1 in Diamond would give more than being #2, etc.
This way warring actually pays for itself and/or you can actually make money off warring. This incentivizes warring more than rackets ever could. Rackets only make for passive play, it's time to fix this mess already.
P.S - there's no reason the prize pool needs to be at 209b like rackets. Rackets cost no money for factions, they don't war for it. As of now, people will be warring like crazy for ranks and what not. So money will be spent, therefore you could upgrade the prize pool to 500b monthly and it would be no difference.
As of now writing a poem, drawing a picture, taking a silly picture, baking cupcakes, painting an easter egg and all types of stuff give you hazmats, dual weapons... lots of 1b+ prizes, yet they aren't even apart of the game. Less than 0.1% of people even partake in these events.
Most of the people are somewhat begging for upvotes on them. There's no reason why writing a poem constitutes a hazmat suit. You're telling me that poem is equivalent to 3500$ worth of dp purchases while not even playing the game? Like 20 people even entered and who knows if they even wrote it or drew it for instance.
Put these prizes in events where you actually have to play the game. Put a hazmat suit in an easter egg during the event. Put dual weapons up for grabs during elimination. Playing the game should warrant such lucrative prizes, not community events. They can have ribbons, collectibles, and points. But spread the love.
Something that's bothered me my entire time on Torn is how terrible the education system is... I figured things would evolve but it's been left completely untouched since existing here.
There are way too many educations that serve no purpose to anyone.
For instance, self defense's last edu is 100% damage with your fists. Why would I ever want this? Was this good 10+ years ago or something?
Computer Science has a bunch of virus things that are all worthless. Why is so much invested in this when they have no purpose or value at all? It's like they were supposed to be an integral part of Torn but that idea was deserted and now we're just left with the remains.
Health and Fitness has 25% increase in speed on escapes. I don't think I've ever had a moment where this would ever benefit me. If anything, I want runaways since you made a merit that forced you to get ONE THOUSAND of them. WHY?!?!
The entire General Studies branch has nothing in it. You get your drivers license and some temporary weapons damage and you have like 8 educations to do that all do nothing... to unlock a 10% working stat increase on all future educations? With only 12 education branches that exist this is the best we could come up with? At best, it's like an extra 1,000 man/end/int that will take 5 years to do. I can get that buying 2 days worth of trains at any job.
The Law Degree takes NINE f**kING MONTHS just for busting. An incredibly small part of the game that hinders your CE gain as it's worse than arsons takes 9 months to get. The entire degrees existence is just for like 6 merits and that's it... we really can't add anything here worthwhile? Maybe a BUMP IN CRIME PAYOUTS?
Then you have psychology which is 10% increase in crime success rate... but when your success rate is capped, this special has no purpose once you're 40 NNB. And by the time you even finish the education, you'll be passed 40 NNB since it takes 5 months to do.
How do we have completely game-breaking educations like Combat Training, Biology, Sports Science, and Business(if you're a director) - mixed with completely worthless educations? Also why can't these educations be updated to 2022 so they actually have a reason to exist other than being a huge time sink?
I am in the process of adding new targets to the leveling list. Also due to the massive amount of hits for the Halloween event, I've had a handful of users ask to be removed (once they realized they made the list).
I've also removed any active targets from the list - if you have beef with other users, don't post them here please!
I just wanna say my GD threads and complaining probably got these Elimination changes pushed through.
You're welcome for me being so annoying.
I don't think all the other "cons" you have here are worth complaining about though. The cache farming loss factions are pretty lame though. There isn't really a fix for it and I'm all for more caches being brought into the game.
Fully randomized teams is obviously better. All the teams this year had the potential to win if played right. Rain Men + Wolf Pack got pretty lucky but "strength" plays an illusion on who participates. If you look strong, more participate.
Every other year had multiple teams that couldn't win if everything for them played out perfectly.
The only people who dislike this change are those that liked to stack teams in their favor.
Although the event needs to be updated, it's old news at this point. Next year will have even less participation without an overhaul. The only reason I'm participating is in the hopes of a good reward for top hitter on team, tbh.
If these rewards were made public beforehand we'd have seen a bigger turnout... and if they are good, a bigger turnout next year with a lot of competition.
what did you do other than guarantee your teams doom because of someone else's opinion?
LT at least had plans in place to win, yours were doomed for failure and you simply didn't care and openly created anarchy to ensure you'd sail the ship into an iceberg.
