I suggest restrict the use of it even further so that it can only be used as specialty. I feel that getting rid of it completely would be a waste, after all it is a nice tool to use but I wouldn't miss it if it was gone completely.

Charging per use is something I would suggest. e.g !buywinch "Are you sure you want to purchase 1 winch, you may only use this once"

I like what Nismo has to say. Youc an buy as many as you want or get charged every time you use it, It could be used if absolutely needed.

I think winch is ok but the thing is that you paid 1000 for the MED/RES license and then if you want winch 10.000.Its very expensive and many MED/RES cant afford it,and is a money you will never be return.
I think it would be a good idea to give MED/RES free winch.

@guxjim 10k is not that expensive and the winch is not an obligation.

Always have been working as Med/Res/Tow without any of this kind of extras, but seems that nowadays ppl need this for do a great job.

It's me the only one who remember when we build those ramps with a RAC and RB4?

IMO towing and "medding" has never been more fun.

+1 no effort required anymore

+1 I definitely agree with Borja and Mufflord.

I like to use a winch, but it's not a problem for me when i have to flip someone's car manually. There's no problem for me.

**SO•Yukine** · (This post was last modified: 2016-11-30 08:40 by Yukine.)

@Borja Personally I use it only when I cannot roll a car easily or if it's Nick.

Also I do remember failed RAC ramps where either the RB4s were too low at front or just missed it and rolled over. Smile

But honestly, the winch is helpful in certain situations, shame that most of the players use it 100 percent of the time.

I normally just leave Nick upside down, safest thing for him

It's the safest thing for other players too if I'm left flipped turtle.

As Borja said I would love to keep it like it was, however if there's no change on that it would be nice to keep the winch only for extrem situations where the tow can't get.
So what if you can add another answer for the poll, something like "Keep the winch but restric its use for specific situations."

@Nick It was a reply to specific part of Yunkies post, not the whole thing with a load of images you pleb

**[TC]►Dizzle◄** · 2016-11-30, 15:10

Either use the winch or don't. Don't worry about what other people do.

**[TC-R] Adam** · 2016-11-30, 15:45

Maybe winch should be for the calls that have the (with danger) after it

Maybe to clear the area faster when the tow task in on a dangerous place
However I think that anything should be changed, it's good as it is now.

Since the winch is available in any situation, I can only assume his post meant he was suggesting that it should only work under the condition he stated, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

**[TC-R] Adam** · 2016-12-01, 18:43

Well, i don't really care about it. I was just suggesting something.

You could always add a (with/without winch) option but that seems a bit silly.
