Time influenced que. (Get the job regardless of police after X time waiting)
Slight Rework in the que system. The system where if there are no cops available a job may not start is fair for the most part, however this can cause extreme que times for crims. In order to give a balanced solution, i think it would be good if the time spent in que also affected getting the job. For example: If you have been 1st in que for over 2 hours, you could get the job even without cops available. 2 hour ques while 1st in line are a big waste of time and it´s not easy for everyone to find that sort of time on top of having to spend a long time on the drug run, making it almost impossible for people with a normal work schedule to participate in jobs
I personally, as well as crew members of mine have experienced this, having a que so long while being 1ST that members have to fly out, leaving a huge amount of time wasted. I understand if people get jobs while no cops are on the economy is hurt, but under the current system the amount of players is hurt, as it is a displeasure of an experience to set aside valuable free time, only to wait in the 1ST que spot for over 2 hours.
In conclusion the suggestion proposes giving out the job based not only on how many cops are available but also on how much time was spent in the que.

+1 Absolutely, huge waste of time when all other jobs are at 1 queue and nothing else is affecting queue times, yet still being stuck at 1 in a drug run queue for 2+ hours.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I think the main frustration is waiting for an obscene amount of time for a job, Maybe like a 1h wait then just start the job regardless of how many cops?
Seems like a fair compromise

Explain how it doesn't make sense? Waiting for 2 whole hours in a queue takes away any sort of rp involvement as you do not know when you will get the job. It says you are 1/1 so obviously 'shouldnt' take ages, but then you're waiting 2 hours without any sort of rp just waiting.

or you know, actually rp instead of sitting doign nothing until a q pops, it is a RP server after all and crime isnt hte only rp to be had

I think you missed the point, waiting for more than an hour for a job usually results in a job just not being able to be done.
Say your crew can hit a once every week, but every time the queue is longer than say 2 hours, the job is called off since either being bored to wait or the members no longer being able to stay online.
because of the wait in queue for jobs sometimes being obnoxious the amount of jobs gets lowered substantially.
Even if you RP or you don't, frustration is sure to follow if you have to cancel the only job you can do that week.
Smaller queues like boosting don't really have that issue, but on bigger jobs, yeah I think the 1 hour suggestion I make could help people out who are pretty busy IRL.

How should we rp when it literally says we are 1/1 in a queue and we would need to head to a complete other island to so the job. No point ruining a whole rp story just to do a job and wait 2 hours eventually not to get the job.

So you want to do the job regardless of cops able to respond, because you value the rp, or because you just want the goods/money after having to wait for two hours? Yes, let's have a hostage sit at a Paleto for 30 minutes with no cops to respond because you had to wait two hours. Sounds like a great idea.

Well I see it was already rejected but this is a fat -1 from me. This would be a freebie for people and not be good for the economy and not good for many other reasons

The fun part about jobs is getting a good chase. Doing jobs with no cops would be so boring
