Okay...I have been backing R* though out the release of GTA ONLINE. But now... between mission payouts being cut in half and this...R* has officially, dropped the ball.

I'd rather wait until all the bugs are fixed than getting the money now and it disappearing
@Below
People still have issues with cars disappearing. That's money you won't get back

SnakeCQC3834d ago

maney DOESN'T from your banking. I've lost many characters but never the money in my bank.

@Erudito

There are many issues, you are lucky that you haven't lost your money, hopefully you didn't lose your rank either! Many have had the opposite happen, they've had their character disappear, then later they were able to recover their character but lost all their money, while some have lost it all, character money and rank. The money is a make up for all the problems so far, what's the point in making it up to people if they will just lose the money in a server crash.

And to those angry about mission pay outs, rockstar hears you anf has said this is ongoing and they are working to fond a good balance. Head over to the rockstar site and be heard. They are listening.

At this point the 500k stimulus package is use less to me. I have been given more than 20 million from random hackers.

FunkMacNasty3834d ago

.... I DISAGREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

(That was more in relation to your avatar than your actual comment. Sorry cou;dn't resist - the "drive by disagreement" was one of my favorit Family Guy moments)

FunAndGun3834d ago

Hey look, the perfectly scored game upon release is still broken!

GentlemenRUs3834d ago

FYI, The iFruit app for the other devices is dead...

Unless someone manages to reverse engineer the iPhone app, We are stuck with a dog who likes to %$@& everywhere...

That was last week R*

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@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.

Inverno30d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist37d ago

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.

BISHOP-BRASIL37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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.

Kombatologist36d ago

@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.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
