So seeing you can downgrade a crime why can't you upgrade? I do them all the time and quite often I downgrade as I can't wait for more people to be able to invite but then I can invite like 5 people which then I can to the higher OC.

Pros:
Would make it quicker rather than starting a new crime.
Couldn't think of any more

Cons:
Couldn't think of any

Some people are having problems inviting people recently I hear.

I understand your point, but just want to offer another way of looking at it. 

The way I look at organized crimes is as being a community activity, in the sense that it is something that should be organized together. Its a good way to inject some realism in to the game. Speak to your family members and your friends, let them know them know a crime is going down at a certain time, meet up before hand, get the invites sent out and then go for it. 

I can appreciate your thinking on this JkL, but how much of a community activity is it really?

It isn't like you have to organize anything more than the clicking of a button at a specific time, whilst being in the same city. I applaud the logic behind incorporating more people into the activity, yet whilst all that is being done is essentially clicking "accept" or "attempt", I don't think it really works.

Perhaps if some further requirement was needed in order to achieve success, a specific input from everyone for example, then it would be a community activity. However, that isn't the case and I would assume at the moment the majority of crimes use NPMs rather than real people too, making anything less automated difficult to implement.

On to this actual suggestion and off our tangent, I cannot see much wrong with it. Just as you can switch down, likewise you should be able to switch up.

Thanks JKL and Chuckle for your replies. JKL I must go with Chuckle and say who (if anyone) actually organises a crime unless it is planned so like 5 oc's are done in succession. Just like IRL if you were going to rob a store and only thought you would get say 3 people if you got 20 (skilled) people would you still rob that store? Probably not you would go for something bigger and thus giving a better payout.

I like this suggestion. I see no faults or issues with having an 'Upgrade Crime' button. Although I feel as though I am just echoing most before me, I know it's nice to receive support as well as any other comments on an idea.

My suggestion is just a way that one could inject some realism in to organized crimes. Although with the NPMs runnings around, it does make things more automatic. 

I do agree that there should be a way of upgrading, but I don't think its essential. 

Agreed.
