Why so frowned upon to destroy personal vehicles?

First off, I obviously don't think it is a good thing to do, and I don't do it myself.

 

As far as I know it is the only thing (other than quitting missions) that gets you kicked into "bad sports sessions". On 2 occasions now I have destroyed somebody's personal car but both times were due to me being massively trolled by griefers, which I don't mind as much as most people.

 

Some people on here seem to get furious when they have their car destroyed, mine has been blown up several times and if you call insurance straight away then mechanic straight after that you can literally be back in your car in like 30 seconds - 1 minute.

 

R* have made it so easy to kill players (costing them 1 or 2k a pop) as many times as you wish and to go unpunished but the second you touch their car (which only costs me a few hundred to replace within a minute?) it is this huge crime. It really doesn't add up.

 

Surely a more deserving 'bad sport' thing would be killing players in passive mode perhaps? Maybe just compensating the guy their insurance bill would be enough.

 

Anyone agree?

In addition to blowing up personal vehicles, killing anybody who is in passive mode (or killing others while in passive mode - by doing it from a vehicle) should be an offense. Except the second should be FAR worse.

Because blowing up cars is easy and annoying.

 

But it is no easier than simply killing someone, far from it actually.

I had a shafter I was on my way to LS customs to insure. Some guy randomly put a 3k bounty on my head and some ass in a helicopter blew up my shafter. I have yet to find a new one, and I searched for like 2 hours.

 

Also, if you have an insured vehicle, not only do you have to pay hospital fees, now you get to pay insurance fees too, and if you have a high-end car it can be over $1500.

I think it was an attempt to relieve stress from their support centers, knowing that not stop tantrums would be thrown their way due to the fact you have to invest time and money to get these vehicles pimped out.

GTA: Where it's a serious crime to blow up peoples sh*tty cars.

 

First off it's not hard to earn a lot of money easily, and the most expensive car I have insured is 9k, which doesn't even bother me.

 

I don't care if I pay half for their car, they shouldn't essentially ban me from regular servers for a certain time period because I did something that is normal in GTA in the past.

Killing someone can be very hard depending on how well they can either drive or stand their ground. Unless you use auto aim.. Which is f*ckin retarded.

 

 

Blowing up cars is simple.. Especially with sticky bombs. Id be wearing a dunce cap in an hour if I went all noob mode and used explosives non stop.

Without the Bad Sport system every noob and their moma would be playing sticky bomb wars. Is that what you want?...lmao

 

And ya, all the idiots in GTA 4 helped the bad sport systems become reality. Thanks.

I personally don't think you should be punished for blowing up someones car. The only time I blow up someones car is if they open fire on me. Bad Sport should be reserved for excessively quitting missions or killing someone over and over.

Stop assuming everyone is a noob compared to you. If you get stuck by a sticky bomb, there's two reasons. 1. Your either dumb enough to sit still and let them get you. 2. You crash in a car chase and they catch up to you, meaning you can't drive.

 

They are relatively expensive to buy a lot for the new players saving up for something else so no, there wouldn't be widespread destruction like you think.

 

Guess what, if you don't like it as well, you can go play solo mode or solo session. Don't ruin the sandbox world because you don't notice someone coming at you or beats you.

 

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a good game if you want to hug everyone btw

You do know that..

 

Those people opening fire on you would become just another sticky bomb moment. They won't even bother shooting you if they could just sticky bomb and laugh.

 

Every NOOB in GTA would be driving around using sticky bombs. All the time.. All day every day.

 

As it stand you can still blow up peoples cars. You just can't do it constantly. And the Bad Sport system works because its rare to see happen now.

Or shoot the gas tank. If someone leaves their car unattended while they go in a store, it only takes four shots to make the gas leak and then one to ignite it.

Dude, if you got blown up by a helicopter that easy you're a true scrub. Air vehicles can't lock on to normal vehicles and it's an ACHIEVEMENT to take someone down with a fast moving and unwieldy mess like the Lazer or Buzzard. Get better.

I think you are mistaking me for someone who won't blast you in the face....lmao. Hello Kitty.

 

 

If anyone should stop assuming anything it should be you. If you wanna kill someone kill them with an actual gun instead of Hello Kitty sticky bombs. I laughed at the rest of your post tho.. Pretty funny.

 

Bottom line.. Deal with it or go back to GTA 4.

People blow up my car I blow up theirs it shouldn't be punishable to take revenge on their car when they've blown up yours and since I do it this way I'm now a bad sport for two days which sucks but not much you can do about it.

If you could get away with blowing up personal cars people would literally just go around being dicks to anyone trying to travel.

I dodged him for about 5 minutes before he got lucky and blew up the cars next to me causing a chain reaction. I was driving on the freeway from blain county to LS so there wasn't much cover.

And that's why its needed. Because people wanna "HERP A DERP STICKY BOMB EVERYTHING"

 

The bad sport system is a basic safe guard against dumb noobs and being sucked down to basic noob level. It works great actually.

 

 

Still tho, its not like you can't blow up players cars.. I blow them up all the time, but only when I have no choice. Which is very rare. Im still considered a good sport.

 

 

You have to really go full on trolly noob to get a BAD SPORT for blowing up cars.

Lol you really think they are gonna keep the system the way it is? I guarantee they'll change it.

 

How about you quit the game, would save me the trouble of destroying your car.

 

It's funny because you don't have anything else to say except your un-backed up claim that everyone would be using sticky bombs.

Because GTA V is a childcare center. You're not allowed to steal other kids toys, nor are you allowed to destroy them. Destroy one & you'll be sent to the time-out corner.

Bad Sport is terrible. It limits your options when dealing with bounties, self defense, so many times when someone is safe from me in a car because I don't want to cross that invisible line into bad sport servers.

Disagreed. I just got back out of Bad Sport, as soon as I joined a guy killed me, rejected my death match and then blew my car up. So I shot him whilst driving and blew out his tires. He deathmatched me and lost, then turned passive on to run me down...

 

The whole bad sport thing is stupid, it's so heavily abused. My friend and I were playing in a game a week ago and he was sent to Bad Sport because a crew couldn't steal his vehicle and sent him messages that they had reported him for griefing...

 

They should do the same as RDR.

Ya, im sure R* will get right on that one. :D

 

Besides, why should I quit the game? Im not the one having problems pal, you are.

 

And yes every noob will be using sticky bombs blowing each others cars up. You are proving that already by crying about not being able to do so. LMAO

This thread has really helped me figure out my goals for GTA V.

 

I'm not really able to get anything done in online without being constantly attacked and killed. It's fun at first, but then it's just more of that - and a little more and really nothing but people trying to kill me nonstop. Every match, all the time whether with friends or randoms.

 

SO, I'm just going to spend all my time destroying other players' personal vehicles until R* finds a way to make things more interesting.

No, it limits your only option which is "STICKY BOMBS". Im pretty sure real players have many options that doesn't involve ROTFL sticky bomb spams all day long.
