Some words about the "Great Cash Card Conspiracy"...

[christo976]

There's no one.

Are you a lazy ass who doesn't want to wait and accumulate cash?
Buy a cash card, farm or exploit glitches.

Are you an angry 12yo kid who wants to buy the Buzzard or the Lazer for griefing people?
Buy a cash card, farm or exploit glitches.

Are you too busy to play online more than 2 hours per session?
Buy a cash card, farm or exploit glitches.

You like to "cheat"?
Buy a cash card, farm or exploit glitches.

For everyone else who enjoy being around in L.S. stealing some not-so-expensive cars, doing random missions and jobs in solo or in co-op with random people or friends.
There's no need for a cashcard.

Seriously, cash card are, of course, meant as "extra cash" beside the (stellar) game sells by Rockstar, but in fact the only thing that can "force" you to buy a cash card is a stupid griefer spawnkilling you repeatedly for no reason. Since their two cell brain can't process the info that: "dying costs money"... to them too.
Without those morons around you can easily and effortless do 60/70K per session (Wich means you can reach for the 400k apartment in a wek or so.) alternating car theft and jobs. Isn't the game called "Grand Theft Auto"? So i guess that stealing cars is still crucial.

On the subject that the game has become lame, or too hard, for pushing you on cash cards i think it has become just more realistic: in real life you can't steal and sell a Bugatti, they'll find you after 15 minutes, unless your city is packed with limited, numbered, satellite tracked, 1.100.000 worth cars. better luck with a Focus ...or a Felon GT

If you farmed or exploited, i'm sorry for you, i know it's boring not having achievements to reach because you've lost the motivation (cash) since you're packed with because you repetitively exploited some glitch or farmed some mission... i guess that's just BORING! Play the game as it is meant to be played and you'll get more fun.

...oh and by the way R* is going to give you all 500.000 GTA$
