This is only a minor issue, but something that I believe would save some time and errors.

When you get the options to buy tips most us do so in bulk, which can lead to repetitive clicking of the same button over and over.

My suggestion is that we have a box, similar to drugs, where you enter the amount of tips you want to purchase. So with Jail for example, most people will buy 5 or more each time, rather than clicking 5 individual times, just enter the amount and get the one screen calculating how much you tipped.

I suppose you could specify the amount needed to bribe as well rather than the number of tips you need to purchase.

I don't foresee many drawbacks to doing this, it is what most people will already be doing anyway and it would save most of us time.

I can see no fault with this suggestion.

Bit late to help, but I'm pretty sure you can simply F5 that page to speed it up.

Actually this can be an interesting addition. As I've had to go through the hell that is bribing FBN agent. Perhaps make it so you get more information for higher bribe? bribe FBN you get more cities info. (either more prices or...something fuck if I can think.) And etc. Warden you get more WS's. Madam you get better info. etc.

But most of all you don't spend 4 minutes hitting f5 for one fucking drug unit....

The simplest reason I would say no to this suggestion is the fact that the tips addition to drugs wasn't meant to make you sit and do the same tip over and over. It's so you will use the tips more often. Using them every time you do a drug run will get the job done.

Now, why would we add a quantity thing to it, where you will just get the same information for 10x the price as you would for 1x the price? There's nothing logical there.

So I would have to say no to this suggestion on the base that it lacks any logical reasoning.

By that analysis the whole system lacks any logical reasoning.

If you don't want people tipping in volume, change how it works. 5 tips to the jail guy to get out of jail free, those will never be spread out, those will always be bought in bulk. You have to pay multiple times for the same information.

In reality, nobody is going to spread out the FBN tips either, that wouldn't be logical. You get units increased on the back of repeated tips to the same FBN agent in the same city. How could you expect people to anything other than buy the same information again and again, when unit rewards are given on the basis of the amount tipped in one place?

I would be surprised if 10% of all FBN tips came from people genuinely seeking drug prices. The whole system is geared towards the volume of tips you do, rather than the actual information you receive.

This would just save people time and effort on something that is tedious.
