Auto scaling NPCs to your level is such a shitty and lazy solution to difficulty scaling. I'm so sick of it.
Why can't they do an escalation system like the cops instead for each gang? The longer you aggravate them on their turf the heavier the guys are they send out. Much more realistic, and if you are getting your ass kicked you just scoot over to some other gangs turf.
Wow. Not only incorrect, but incorrect in the worst way by fucking up maths by a factor of a thousand!
