Playermodels Purchasable

[AshenDemon 54]

Description: [description of what you are suggesting, one paragraph minimum] Alright so as most are aware there are playermodels on the server that aren't accessible unless they are set by a manager+. What i am thinking to open up some ways to spend money and some fun rp instances is possibly introduce playermodels into the perk machine to allow for disguises or just fun moments! I see many players requesting to be set and also the managers alone have their fun with this so I think it would be beneficial to open this up to all players. Of course a decent paywall would be behind it so it's not something just anyone can get and it's something you actually would want to work towards.

Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] The current options within the perk machine are of decent variety but addition to it with playermodels i believe would incentivize higher playtime and encourage players to work towards leveling up and earning money.

The difference here is that with DarkRP, playermodel can be easily associated with class/class type, meaning you can easily identify a css terrorist model as a criminal, or a combine as civil protection.. Allowing the free change of playermodels via perk machine would allow for any class to change their model, and with a simple /job command, they would be totally indistinguishable from other roles, and therefore, would be able to trick other players into thinking that they are something they're not. (In addition to confusing their job abilities, such as raiding.) In my opinion, this would only cause confusion 90% of the time and have no legitimate benefit to the server. (These are the same reasons I don't often comply to requests to change models, I don't like to break up the consistency of the RP environment and I wouldn't dare risk giving someone an unfair advantage.) 

I'll leave this open for a bit to see additional responses.

I agree with merk, 

 

No legitimate benefit other then another way  for players to use there money. But its also gonna be the reason why a newer player leaves when they feel like they were raided by someone is using a player model associated with a non criminal class.  
 

Every job has its own player model, custom classes offer different models. It’s easily identifiable. 
 

alot of players dont like playing games when you cant identify whos who tbh. I mean its the idea of game making there characters look the same. Lets avoid that issue and keep each job having there own model.

- Neutral - already spent hundreds of dollars just to get skins jeez

As Merk and Gunner said jobs have playermodels not really a point to add this to a non modded server 

(would be good for a modded version of the DRP server tho)

Feel free to suggest specific models to be added as opposed to a blanket statement of "the playermodels"

Going to lock, and again, feel free to re-create this post with more specific details.
