How much did it cost you to participate in Land Grab?

Since there were a few threads complaining about land grab areas going only to ubers, I wanted to get and give some perspective on what it takes and why only the top societies should get lands.

I thought before for it to be more fair, that each soc should only be able to claim one land per land grab, but I've changed my opinion because if that was the case, then the top societies would determine who got what land from my experience from watching and participating. If some lesser society were to take a claim, they would be forcibly removed by better societies until the society that they liked best could claim the land.

Please include cost of ammo, armor decay, gun decay, fap decay, and markups of Limited gear. And please be honest, made the poll public for that.

lets also not forget the initial cost of the armor(s), weapon(s), and fap(s) ... coming up w/peds for the decay of those items is one thing - coming up with the peds to own those items is much more expensive

just an idea, anyway

"How much did you did it cost to participate in Land Grab?"
i think maybe this is supposed to ask how much did it cost to participate in LG...

if you are asking how much peds i spent in ammo during our LA protection i would say around 20-40 peds in ammo and Decay and mark up (fap armour Gun)...


But if you talk about money invested in gear... that is a differnt story...


your comment about more than 1 Land area per soc at a time... should be allowed is interesting... if you think about this... it would be interesting.. because then if a soc tries to claim more than 1 or even 3 lands they might spread their society too thin and loss their land areas...

Sadly I'm in the 0 - 50 PED range as I did not participate. I can't wait to see the numbers of those involved though.
