Report a player - Multiple Ballas - GTA RP

[Cjwjj]

Server: GTA RP
Your Character Name: Gwayson Wopping
Reported Players: Multiple Ballas
Date: Dec 9, 2025
Time: 20:45
What best describes this incident: Powergaming
Please (in detail) describe the incident: I was at Paleto hospital after a gunfight with Ballas, I had none of my inventory or clothing as I had just gotten out of a bed. Ballas came to Paleto and I noticed them, they ran in ziptied me, took me to grannys house in Grapeseed, sat in a car for around 20 minutes, then they drove me back to Paleto hospital.

When we got there, I was taken back into the hospital where I was prompted by the Balla member in the cowboy hat that he was going to ziptie me and force me to drop my items from the check in desk. I said no multiple times, to which he said yes you are as you can see in the clip. I then had multiple guns pointed at me and was told to drop the items again.

I believe this to be powergaming as the check in desk is not open to other players for a reason, just like how other players cannot access your ATM or funds. This would be the same as robbing somebody and asking them to withdraw all their money and drop it on the floor.

Hello Bratan, thanks for the reply


Firstly I would like to commend you on searching all the way back two years just to find a report to add to this I rate the effort

However, as mentioned this report is from 2023. Many game mechanics have changed and been improved as you know.

Seen as you want to go dredging through history to fight your corner I’ll do the same

The above link is the change log for when hospital storage was introduced 10/06/23, only two months prior to the report you linked and are using to defend your case.

I think we can both agree that when game mechanics are first introduced they’re not as refined and edited like they are in the present. This being said at the time of this report police could not access another players pillbox storage which can be seen in the link below when this issue was fixed

So at the time of this report there was only one person who could gain access, the player.

Now at this time I can see how keeping your items in there would be seen as power gaming as only you have access to this.

However if we jump to the present day this isn’t the case.

I believe this feature was introduced into rpuk to stop people from camping pillbox and effectively vending machine RP’ing, as when you got out of the bed you couldn’t be robbed and your items taken. Hence the storage.

For you to be able to force someone to pull things out from this storage goes against this 100%. By your logic of this being fine and not being a rule break a group of people could sit outside of pillbox wait to see someone be taken in wait by the checkout counter and hands them as they get up. With them having no radio,phone or weapons this would be incredibly easy and you could do this on repeat.

Yes this type of report was declined along time ago when the feature was relatively new. However I believe this should be re looked at.

In the report you linked it’s stated that the storage is “a lost and found cardboard box”. Which I don’t know if you have ever been to a hospital is not the case.

When taken to hospital your belongings are stored securely and inventoried often with a clerk or in a safe room.

Not only would this not being classified as power gaming make the pillbox storage useless but it would also render dodgy doctor useless. As why waste 50k on a chance that the opposition could get up when you can let them go to pillbox and wait for them to get up and get free guaranteed loot?

With the above knowledge I urge for this to be looked at properly and thought about as there is no way that this could not be seen as power gaming.

if a game mechanic is introduced in order to do a job how can not be power gaming to bypass this mechanic


Thanks for the reply again

"The above link is the change log for when hospital storage was introduced 10/06/23, only two months prior to the report you linked and are using to defend your case.". What you are saying here is that nothing has changed since the report I linked was put up which makes the report very much valid.

I would also like to point out that one should report for rulebreaks and not because you think a rule should be reworked or looked at. Perhaps this report would be better in the rules discussion channel in discord.

I will not entertain this report further and will wait for a staff response.

Yours truly Bratan<3
