Do you know what an exploit is? no well okay let me help you. Well webster defines it as below.

But in gaming terms its a little different. To most game manufacturers it means to do something in a game the game was not designed to do, and then abuse it by repeatedly doing it. So as an example the Mod shop glitch in GTAO is an exploit because you are abusing something the game was not designed to do. While replaying missions was a feature designed into the game.

TL:DR version

 

Modshop Glitch = Exploit

Mission replaying = NOT AN EXPLOIT

wow op what would we do without a webster definition.

[Borss]

Using a glitch to replay missions= exploit. /thread.

[Crookid]

Actually, according to the definition of the word, the replay feature is an exploit.

 

+1 for actually looking up a word.

-9000 for being wrong in your own thread.

 

Hold back and please kill yourself. Thanks.

It shouldn't even be a glitch. R* shouldn't have bothered to try to prevent mission replays, they should have just left it alone and made it official.

 

Everybody realizes, yes? That those who want RP and cash fast? Are going to get it whether you like it or not. They're going to get it faster than you approve of. Whether it's farming a single mission over and over or farming a hundred different missions one after another, people are going to get RP and cash. What else is the point of missions (aside from the fun factor)?

Whether or not you feel it shouldn't be a glitch makes no difference. It's not how they intended the game to be played. Therefore it's an exploit. They'll probably reset the farmers or give them permanent dunce hats so it's all good.

I earned 100k in 40 minutes running missions for Martin, Lester, and Gerald (all different, no replay/restart).

 

In the scheme of things, even though it took me twice as long, it's still not a lot of time. And yet nobody has a problem with players doing mission after mission after mission, as long as the missions are all different but everybody bitches when we replay a single mission. Why? "Because Rockstar didn't *intend* for that to be done!" Give me a break.

 

(I have grinded the hell out of Violent Duct... but it gets boring after a while)

 

@Borss: reset isn't going to happen. But good try. And they don't give Dunce caps to people who play missions. Another good try on your part though.

If it's not as they intended to play the game...why does the game have a replay function at all?

Yeah bro, first time I've grinded it really. I was with 2 good players and I was just making the money back I've lost on deleted garage and character reset.

 

I'm not one for grinding but 100k in 20 mins...easy money. I mosty play with variety and fun. But if we can help each other make some coin from time to time then why not.

It doesn't. It did, they removed it and people found a workaround, officially making it an exploit. Learn to read.

To those who think replaying mission is an exploit:

Tell me one thing, how is it any different from replaying races/deathmatch/survival/team deathmatch/parachuting/tennis/golf/darts/LTS missions?

 

I can keep "grinding" races for money. Is that an exploit? The only difference is the pay is less and would take more time.

Agreed.

 

At the end of the day it's what you get fun out of innit.

No they didn't. The replay function still works fine for other missions. Clearly missions being replayable is intended to be part of the game experience.

Same goes for the restart option. If R* didn't want us to restart missions from that screen, why is that function even in the game...at all?

[psychadelic145]

Oh but by the logic they are using it's oh well if you do the same race it is! i don't see the difference between doing that and doing a lot of races of different maps. the option is there for a reason.
