Give The Black Market Some Love

Enhancing the black market to make it more dynamic and rewarding is a great idea. Here are some suggestions based on your points:

Expanding Sold Items Variety

1. NPC Sales: With the beretta being very easily obtainable and cheaper than the black market, selling berettas isn't really useful. Add more weapons to the black market. And to keep this balanced you can make them very rarely pop up, more expensive then street market(double the amount of street market to incentivize people to rp it out), and in addition must have higher rep. So lets say This doesn't take away from the roleplay of trying too obtain a weapon as it simply isn't worth it unless there isn't any other way to obtain a weapon. I also think buying sd cards for higher reputations would be nice as certain cards are really hard to get at sometimes.
   
   Player Sales:In addition, I think players selling any weapons they want would be nice, lets say I have an ak, I would like to sell it on the black market given that I have high enough reputation.
   

Reputation System Rework

1. Reset & Rework Reputation: A lot of people have gotten a fuck tone of rep from buying water and loose notes, now that both of those have been removed a lot of the newer played aren't able to get easy rep. It used to be per 100 items (regardless of price) bought gave you 1 reputation. This was abused and a lot of people including me ended up getting a lot of reputation. I think a reputation reset to make everyone equal and possibly rework the system so that essentially its .1 rep per xxx amount of money spent buying or selling. So for example, if i bought an item for 10k i would get .5 rep but if i sold something for 10k id would get 1 rep.

By implementing these changes, the black market can become a more engaging and rewarding aspect of the game, encouraging players to increase their reputation and participate in the crypto heist.

please leave all your input i would love to hear it all I do really belive in this suggestion, it makes the crypto heist better, gives more stuff to do on the blackmarket, it makes the economy more balanced in every way
