I don't agree with having someone boss you around in a video game, and it being enforced and punishable if you don't comply, let's give some examples. I'm playing on RISE and I get word of some typical criminal scum on the airfield. My buddy and I go to the atc where they are and apprehend two of them. We search and interrogate the two but one of them got away on foot. So i see two cadets in a GPK rolling past and I call them over (on rise there were in game ranks that were not enforced only there for an item progression and potential rp. There was if I can remember cadet, officer, sergeant, and so on just the typical police ranks.) anyway, I call the two cadets over and tell them to go and search the airfield for the criminal. They listened to me because in-game i was a sergeant and they were decent rp'ers however, technically they didn't have to. Now put this situation on here and "enforce it" like people are asking is absurd. You are gonna ban some semi-new guy to the server because he didn't wanna listen to some random guy with no IRL authority over him? or because he didn't understand there was a rule on "listening to some guy with a Teamspeak icon". Enforcing ranks is only there for power-hungry tyrants who are controlling and most likely have no lives outside the bedroom. Keep takistan simple, that's why people play it, for the funny relaxed rp. If you want enforced in-game and ts ranks go to A3L on arma 3. Basically, put in game ranks for rp purposes and to unlock new gear maybe, but not so basement dwellers can control how players wanna play. Another example: You wanna hop on for a bit and patrol around as cop and maybe catch some peasants in the act of drug trafficking. But you connect and someone pokes you in ts and tells you they need backup at cpr. You don't wanna play at cpr because its cancer and it's not what you wanna do. You play and after you dc you have a strike next to your name. Now that's retarded. in-game ranks that display in your overhead name like "cop 5 James (sergeant)" that award bigger paychecks, more gear selection, and more renown > official faction shit and enforced listening to "leaders" and in-game and in ts ranks.
