Rockstar thinks you are a money cow that should be milked for every ce

[GTAUserNameHere]

Right now it seems like Rockstar is more concerned with protecting their future micro-transactions. Than fixing things like oh, random character deletion, the kick bug...no what is really important is nerfing missions and removing features like replay, and grinding character progress to a hult.

 

So that the future money card whenever they re-release that will be appealing to those staved of cash and that want to be competitive. Of course they are probably hoping that the random character deletion eats some of the hardcore farmers out there that really abused the reply thing to the max.

 

Thing is that replay is actually a fun feature, and could have been fixed by instead of removing it, by add diminishing returns on repeating missions. But it really seems like they want you take way the ability to make good income in the game by playing the game, instead want people to depend on cash cards micro-transactions. Would not surprised if they start making it a habit to nerf the cash reward for missions.

 

Seems that Rockstar thinks very little of of their player base, we are all just cash cows to them to be milked. They made a billion, and they want another.

 

Sure the hardcore extent of farming that was going on was ridiculous but, some of the more aggressive farmers were really taking a huge advantage of the situation. But the farming was a symptom of one of the faults of the game, the amount of money you made in game doing missions with out replay is pretty terrible. Rockstar should rethink mission, and there rewards you get, so that people do not think that farming is a necessity.

Like I already said before, if they wanted your money to the point you claim, they'd include paywalls.

They want you to play the game the way it's meant to be played, to ensure it's semi-fair, and to give it some life. People shouldn't be earning millions in the first week like its nothing, that alters the games balance.

I agree which is why I'm selling my copy

[novesori]

I was playing since start of Online "normal" in my free time after work...what I earned until now with races is Level 22 and ~230.000$ (no app, car or garage...) It's nothing!! I was about to start farming today, but R* release now a patch where I can't. Bullsh*t, how I suppose now to catch up the whole lvl 100+ players with 1.000.000.000$+??

Yeah but at the same time kotaco the money income shouldnt be so minuscule that it starts to feel like a chore.

for some people, playing normally means repeating missions that they enjoy. that can no longer be done now. and for others, the grind IS playing normally. spend your time to make your money. even if the cash is reduced people should still be allowed to replay the missions they want to/grind missions over and over again. r* just needs reduce the $ made in said missions if theyre going to get that butthurt over people replaying

I already made 15$ million on rr

 

I'm ok

Mmorpg players like myself only know how to grind... But I actually enjoy the variety of missions until I got stuck on Lester's hey grab a helicopter but there are no helicopters mission...

[Chase3411]

Grinding was playing normally for me kinda bullsh*t they want to make more money. Was the billions they made so far not enough? Talk about GREEDY

There is actually a helicopter in that mission, that spawns in the first few seconds of the mission then flys away it is at franks and micheals helipad. I believe it come back at some point but takes a really long time. You could also climb the the really high crane to the top and parachute to the roof top.

Define "normal".

 

Because normal is a word that is subjective to each and every individual. Your normal may be someone elses abnormal.

There are paywalls, the future dlcs they have not add yet. Like hiests, and such you think that stuff is going to be free?

Do you not read any official post by rockstar on there site they already said all the DLC are free

A business acting like a business, how 'bout that.

[shmg]

afaik you can still repeat missions, if you know how.

I do not mind business acting like a business, but I do mind them pulling out thier d*ck and shuving it up my you know what. Specially since I have had charaters lost already, not to mention the hundreds of thoudands that went with them, in weapon upgrades, car and whatnot.

 

When you play you are looking for fun, and some reward that feels rewarding, not a slap in the face and here is a token for for your effort.

[MrGandie]

If rockstar were really after all your monies they would be trying to sell you alot more than just the cash cards! And for people who keep repeating the fact they've made over a billion and there being greedy, its a business that worked for over 5 years on this game and spent over $250.000.000 making it! Personally i think they deserve every penny. Sure theres problems with online at the minute but they will soon be sorted out and forgotten.

Yea by calling and asking for a job tell you get what you want. Sure, a different kind of grinding. But Rockstar is going to nerf all the rewards for missions, just watch.

so, reapeating a mission where you drive a car into a tunnel with a sticky bomb attached to it is enjoyable?

 

it's such a dull argument.

This.

 

It's not fair how the game's been nerfed so early. All those players that never had any problems with character deletion are miles ahead of everyone while gaining money and leveling up feels so much slower now. At this rate it'll be almost impossible to catch up.

[anon123]

If Rockstar are so greedy why did they take down their cash packs so fast? GTA Online is a huge online service and to keep it going whilst adding new content every couple of weeks they need money.

[buddybravo]

Of course Rockstar thinks of you as a cash cow. Better product = More money for them. That's why they're working hard on patching the game while all you kiddies are on here crying.

[teh_g]

Because they had no way to prove or disprove and monitor real currency transactions most likely. There's are laws which govern this.

They are not going stop with cash cards, I am sure. They will come up with other things like cars, cloths, non generic swanky apartments you can not get anywhere else.

 

I do not begrudge Rockstar from making some money off of their game, I do not want to feel like a cash cow to be milked though.

[sgllocal]

remember. knowone is forcing you to buy the cash cards
