#11 Powergaming

Powergaming, a significant breach of our server rules, refers to the misuse of game mechanics or unrealistic roleplay to gain an advantage. Examples include:

• Overhearing Conversations: If you, as a player, hear conversations through walls or inside vehicles, you should disregard this information, as your character wouldn't naturally be privy to it.

• Camera Misuse: Utilising third-person cameras to see areas outside your character's perspective for an unfair advantage violates this rule.

• Game Menu Exploits: This includes actions like using job menus when off-duty or canceling animations/emotes for personal gain.

• Shift Punching: The act of "shift punching" (using shift while melee attacking) is a clear instance of powergaming.

• Adding PVP Enhancements: Modifying your FiveM folder to boost visibility, range, bullet tracers, etc., is not allowed.

• Reviving: Shooting someone and then compelling a medic to revive them for continued roleplay is considered powergaming. Similarly, taking someone to a hospital, forcing them to check in, and then robbing or kidnapping them is prohibited.

• Binding Automated Actions: Binding actions like "/do steals phone, radio, and duck tapes mouth" is not allowed. If you intend to perform such actions, you must type them out manually.

• Misconduct in Safezones: Engaging in baiting within a Safezone is a breach of this rule.

• Exploiting Mechanics: If it's evident that another player couldn't realistically obtain an item, exploiting game mechanics to do so is considered powergaming.

In summary, always aim for realism in your roleplay. If you're unsure about an action being powergaming, it's best to refrain.
