8CN: A lot of Grand Theft Auto Online players have been frustrated by the game's less than smooth launch. Some players have been stuck on the tutorial, while others haven't been able to connect at all. Even worse are the reports that some players have had their entire characters disappear.
The street-level action is heating up, so dive headfirst into the chaos of Freemode Challenges and Events — all of which are paying out Double Rewards.
Rockstar Games will be conducting one-to-one discussions regarding its live service game, GTA Online, with a select number of players.
@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.
Rockstar Games is permanently banning players for using an account duplication exploit in GTA V's multiplayer component, GTA Online.
Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?
Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.
Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.
EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.
@BISHOP-BRASIL
I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.
I know a lot of people are mad at how GTA online hasn't functioned the way it's suppose to but give it some time, it will get there. I hope the PC and next gen versions don't have to deal with all of this
Also maybe it's just me but I feel like player count should be more on PC and if there are next gen versions
Sorry but no just wait and see for me on this one. They said wait till the 1st for online, we waited and it's broken as hell. I don't care about the scope of the game, that's just an excuse for piss poor beta testing.
Shut up about next gen, rockstar already said no next gen plans just leave it alone stop clinging to it... PC yes
