Losing $2000 every death

This frustrates me as missions only give like $2000 at this stage, so I'm actually beginning to lose money. Does everyone else have this?

It's ridiculous for gta online when you die and lose 2000$. At max 500$ should be correct, even less.

Yeah especially at such low levels where a 10 minute long mission only gets you like $3000

It's a drag to find that out after meeting up with friends and going crazy for an hour. you can easily burn through $200,000 or more if you aren't careful.

 

I think it's a good idea to invest most or all of your cash in property, weapons/ammo, clothes, and cars. you can later sell some of these things if you need to liquidate, and weapons/ammo is never a waste. You are bound to find a use for full capacity of bullets, rockets, grenades, and sticky bombs at some point, probably sooner rather than later.

 

TL;DR: Spend all your money and you can't have it taken away from you.

i tell ya what also pissed me off just now - i keep having connection issues (i think on account of my netgear router) but anyway, point is people keep "leaving" my free roam session so i have to switch to a new one just to see other people - it seems to be removing my body armour every time i switch. is it supposed to do this?? constantly buying armour and hospital bills is pissing my money away in this game.

I believe losing the $2,000 is a glitch that R* said they're working on. As far as I know, if your money is in your bank account and not just cash in hand, you aren't supposed to lose money when you die in free roam. Currently, you lose the money either way but I'm pretty sure somebody from R* said in one of their patch updates that they were working on it. Still a pain in the ass at the minute but that free $500,000 everyone has coming should ease the pain

They should make it....

 

$250k or less you only lose $500

$251-500k lose $1000

501-750 lose $1500

751-1 mil. lose $2k and so on, and so on.....

they should make it a flat rate. $500 is fair. still stupid for online, but fair.

lastly, to the one who mentioned the armor issue... this is also annoying. i bought it once, its in my inventory and i can wear it, but it does not actually work? LAME! i would rather not wear any armor and save my money, since I'm probably going to die from some random AI bullet anyways.

They are, you know, resurrecting you from the dead.

 

My advice: Don't die.

Like that is a ridiculously easy task in a lobby full of trolls.

I find this highly aggravating myself, as I don't feel one should be punished for dying during "free roam" romps around the map or simple, non-violent exploration (i.e., slipping off of the edge of a cliff by some chance, or being shot dead by a player in the guise of a rogue sniper several yards away, etc.). I can see it being incentive to succeed during missions, but punishing us for simply making missteps during desert/countryside escapades -- off-mission, mind you -- is a bit much.

That's why you should fight to stay alive. Makes your money more precious if it's so easy to lose.

 

Anyways doing races = easy $$$

I fight like Frank Dux to survive, but sometimes those hills have a mind of their own. One false move and I'm tumbling to my death.

 

Either way, if it's indeed a glitch as some have purported, it should be squared away soon.

It's total bullsh*t and shouldn't be in the game. Rockstar said it was a 'glitch' but it really wasn't. There was a petition to get it removed and they called it a glitch, pretty pathetic. It's pretty obvious that it's another way to make you need to buy cash cards.

When I play online I set a goal for something like the first apt I could get and a motorcycle to trick out and I grind out the cash for it….once I got the 80-100k for all that stuff I spent it all and had 0 cash left over and then I just went crazy stealing jets and cruising all reckless on my motorcycle doing drive-by gankings and leveled up lots at the same time while having no money to lose….
