Streamline lockpicking to use the same system
I am suggesting streamlining all the lockpicking systems in the server into the same system.
Right now there are multiple styles of lockpicking depending on what you are attempting to lockpick. I think it makes the most sense to use the same system for all types of lockpicking, so players don't have to learn separate mechanics for doors, ignition, etc. Currently the lockpicking for car ignitions feels a little clunky.
I think the "press E" system feels the best from a players perspective, and would be suited for all kinds of lockpicking. Difficulty of the lock could be represented in the speed of the bar, and the size of the window to press "E".
EDIT: People have some misconception that this feedback is only because "I can't do it" or "I keep breaking picks". Yes my original discord feedback stated that I was having trouble doing it, but I'm not having any trouble anymore. I still stand by the suggestion, please don't comment solely to say things like "stop breaking picks".

I can't lockpick to save my life and even I don't think it needs to change...

Not needed, just stop breaking lock picks. The variety of the mechanics for different things keeps it exciting and I would be bored to fucking tears if it was all the same

I don’t think this is needed at all. The current lock picking has been the same for so long and is a bout as perfect of a system as it could be. Definitely don’t want another “press E” script in the city.
