but if we could devise a nice compromise between the two it could be interesting.
Get rid of gang deletion as that is the main concern of most people that front real life money to start and build the gangs.
add some PvP factors to the war system. This will give those that have worked hard to be at the top their due as well.
Keep the hideout but instead of hideout bonuses give stat bonuses. for instance
your gang spends 1000 points on getting an amorer. this provides your members with a bonus to their resistance
your gang spends 1000 points and gets a target range your members get a bonus to accurraccy.
those are just examples but i think you get the picture.
this would take a lot of work to balance so that those that do not donate or maintain donator status dont end up getting jobbed but it is just a raw idea i just spit out.
Here's a possible compromise to the old system vs new: have two types of wars available to gangs.
One could be Hideout wars which are fought under the system that we have now. Although I really like your idea of adding stat bonuses that could be purchased with gang points. It goes well with the next part of my idea.
Gang presidents could also be given the option of declaring Respect wars, which would be fought under the old system. Every gang is given with 100 respect points to start out with that will be gained or lost in respect wars as time goes on. However, unlike the old system, when a gang drops to 0 respect points they aren't deleted, instead they lose a membership slot (but no gang can go below 3 membership slots) and then they go back to 100 points again. And you could allow gangs the option of buying back that lost slot at either a reduced price or with gang points.
