this is nice and all but i think you're taking this too seriously
Seems like you didn't even take the post into consideration. I suggest you actually read it before shutting it down and think about it for a second.

The system works around features like F5 and implements it into the circular flow of income. Meaning even if people strongly oppose removing F5, it works in the economy.
If F5 is removed, it has nothing to do with the proposal.
F5 Generates money for people, atleast for new characters. You want a new alt, but you dont wanna earn your stuff? Use F5. This would stop cash being transfered around OOCly in mass amounts.
I think you're forgetting that it's just a game in the end. It's not supposed to represent real life exactly, that wouldn't be possible, We have to make adaptations in order for things to work in-game.

Completely ignoring the fact that this is a "Roleplay Server" I see, We attempt to portray real life as close as possible cause you know.... "ROLEPLAY"
But there are limitations on implementing something this advanced, It's almost a 13 year old game. I know Luka may be a great scripter and all, But there's no way he could implement something this advanced alone, If at all.
Whilst all of this is correct, you have to keep one major thing in mind.
Most active players have been on the server for a while, and their money is a result of simply earning it over time and using stat transfers when CKed. If you do things that decrease the value of what these players have it may give them a "there goes everything I worked for" mentality.
You guys want F5 removed but fail to realize that its the main reason people donate now adays. Donating=Rp Server. Can't remove F5 until something else can replace it and keep players interested in wanting to continue to donate towards the server.
If it's just a game where we don't need realism, why don't we just remove all scripts apart from essentials and RP everything in /me and /do? The economy is horribly destroyed, but salvageable, not only will this make us stand out as a server, it'll also encourage SO much more RP, as businesses will have a purpose and most importantly, money will have a meaning, and it will encourage new players to join if they see that it's not Pay-To-Win and that they can actually, with a little bit of brains and connections, can make it. This will also lead to legal progression, start off as a stall until you can afford a mortgage on a shop, people will then buy their essentials from there and then you can expand to two shops, until you own a chain of stores all around Red County, without having to donate $50, or having to shoot up and rob everyone.
I agree with everyone wanting to remove F5, but yes, people will quit playing MTARP, because the only way they can RP, is by having alot of money, and evading cops. I was poor at the start, and now, BOOM i have millions across my characters and stuff. And stuff is being a little more boring, because we have alot of money. Everything is easy to get and stuff. We need to fix this up!
Losing interest in RPing is your own fault. At the peak of my rich time I also lost interest in roleplaying but.. It kinda came back. People say that I have too much shit, but I use them to secure my finances. If I get ck-ed I might sell a v12 to buy a stat transfer. Use your dosh to get vP. Map some flowers on your house or something like that. Thats the reason why I like f5. Jose is a great example of that, he has tons of vP but he does not use them. You dont always have to sell your vp on f5.
