*PETITION* RAISE PRICES. FIX ECONOMY

[gokitty199]

I agree with you. glitchers and exploiters destroy the game! There is no balance.

yes the people who los santos customs glitch ruined the game for everybody, the people that buy cash cards to become rich in five seconds make the game balanced -_- dummy

[Strix aluco]

When they release new areas -- like North Yankton and Liberty State -- I hope you have to buy a plane ticket to get there. That ticket should cost a million dollars or more.

 

I also hope we can some day buy stuff like the prison, Fort Zancudo, houses, farms and entire towns. Fort Zancudo should cost several hundred million dollars, of course.

 

There's no fun in money being readily available. Challenges are fun. Monetary scarcity is fun. A sense of accomplishment is fun.

well said. adding the golf course from the single player at 150m would be great

I completely agree, OP. Everything is readily available. There's no challenge and no feeling of reward with this kind of economy. An apartment should be something special, something almost unattainable.

 

If you want it to be so unattainable and "special", I imagine you'd want a full wipe aswell so thats its just as unattainable and "special" for you as it is for the new players ?

 

uhmmm glitching was open to everybody? if someone chose not to act upon the free cash available thenn.... thats their problem? btw i didnt glitch but u know...

 

 

Oh, So glitching was open to people who bought the game after it was fixed? thats almost magical mate.

 

And yeah, for those who didnt glitch, its totally theyr own fault for having a morale code, those bastard!

 

As for you not abusing the glitches, I hear you say it, yet I see no proof. (not that proof would make your petition any less illogical.)

 

 

 

There is no denying that severe steps need to be taken to save the GTA online economy, but it dosnt take a great economical mind to see that your approach would have negative impact on the economy, not just long term, but also short term.

 

 

I can only imagine a real country that went by your model, where prices were regulated to match the income of the 1%.

Are you guys actually taking the OP seriously? It's pretty obvious he is trolling. Nobody could be that stupid.

[jerrodh7244]

If the game could be reset, everyone started at square one, with no glitches, etc. Then sure. Honestly if you take the glitches and glitched money out you wouldn't have any problems after 1.04. It is going to take a long time to level up and to get all the money now that all the bonuses are cut in half.

 

If they implemented your idea now all it would do is punish legit, no glitching players more. They wouldn't be able to afford a simple assault rifle, or a full inventory of sticky bombs. While all the glitchers would still have EVERYTHING.

But the game will really start being fun if/when they open BAWSAQ.

If stock prices, like Rockstar claimed previously, can be influenced by players buying shares -- and by players attacking company assets in free roam ... then that's where the real fun begins.

 

And allowing more than 16 people per lobby could also be a source of fun.

 

Great missions, like Crooked Cop, should pay a lot more cash and RP than they do now, though. Since players avoid these fun missions due to the ridiculously low pay. There should be more balance in the game.

not true actually

[Sanchez78]

Rockstar needs to create more supply.

 

Demand is infinite, I could go in to a long list of wants/needs in gta online, like an APC with a 50 cal would be great to buy. Proove a moot point my kid wants a spaceship, and a suitcase that can launch him to it, (demand) but I have to tell no such thing exists (supply). You can only demand supply that exists, no point crying if there not enough soup to go around.

 

Lowering wages creates monetary scarcity which is better for the life of gta online..

 

Inflating higher prices would cripple the perception of affordability for honest players who play irregularly forcing them to opt out of gta online just to punish those who have billions already, prices should not match cash amounts the developers never intended.

 

TLDR "I can only imagine a real country that went by your model, where prices were regulated to match the income of the 1%."

I'm getting old. I'm noticing that most of the other users on this forum, are from the instant gratification generation. They want everything handed to them on a silver plate. They don't want to work for their money. They don't want to have fun. They just want to glitch their way to virtual wealth. And when they've attained that wealth, after a couple of weeks, they start complaining about the lack of fun to be had in the game.

[glitch24/7]

Not a problem for me as i have millions in my bank so bring it on you peasant nerd

[Sanchez78]

Inflationists' are making it harder to afford gas, food, tuition, healthcare, housing, maintenance. insurance, nominal tax brackets, and you want to bring that to gta online.

 

No thanks, no need to destroy the middle class for the top 1% cash rich players.

[hewentthatway666]

at the end of the day this is a great idea

[Strix aluco]

Rockstar has to address these issues one way or another if GTA Online is to survive for several years.

yep. thats the name of the game, survival. and this game can not survive in current circumstances. it really is risking becoming a 3 month wonder

[Sanchez78]

At the end of the day this punishes all players who are not in the top 1%.It the greatest idea, for the top 1%.

 

Who would only finds themselves richer when poorer players cannot compete with their accumulated wealth.

 

How about we deflate the economy by draining the money supply especially from the top 1%?

this is Grand Theft Auto, not Grand Normal Boring Life. Most the fun of this game comes from having crazy weapons and tools to cause havoc and roam around, NOT from going around repeating missions over and over because nothing is affordable

unfortunately there is nothing that you can do about the monetary margin which separates your average casual player and a seasoned glitcher. there is always going to be a huge difference in wealth.

 

fact is even for your average player, its very easy for him to grind a few missions and within a week he has a lambo and 400k apartment, which is ridiculous.

[SOHC_VTEC]

Lol kids this is not diablo... It's just gta, a level 1 with 1 dolla can still use pistol to kill a level 100 with 100 mil. Lol economy lol lol

[AggieBradC34]

Holy inflation, batman!

 

We're playing criminals who make their money via illegal methods, yet you want to "fix" the game's economy to make it more like real life?

 

Why not just make us have real jobs in the game. Require everybody to do the job at least eight hours a day and only then will you be able to enjoy the paltry amount of money you make... that is the money that's not taken out for taxes, health insurance, auto insurance, rent, etc.

 

It's video game, dude. Grinding isn't fun.

ETA: I'm not defending glitching to get money. I haven't glitched at all. But even doing Base Invaders on repeat (pre-1.04) it still took me several days to earn up enough to buy the Stinger GT. It would have already taken months to fill the rest of my garage with other super/sports/sports classic cars before the patch. Now... what's the point?

GTA IV had no economy, everything was available on the spot, you just had to go pick it up.

The multiplayer was nowhere near as deep as this but it always had some full lobbies for a few years.

The average player still uses the first car from simieon in a few weeks with no apartment, Only gamers who beat the average casual have 400k in a week with the best apartment.

gta iv was so bad. who seriously wants to spend their time running around shooting people with pickup weapons...dieing... then walking right back to the gun fight.... shooting some...dieing.... rinse and repeat. f*ck me

The majority of GTA V's player base is seems.

[Chukkles]

So many people became crazy rich from glitching.

 

But

 

Even without the cash from glitching

 

The payout from missions etc destroys any true reward system & healthy economy

 

EVERYTHING is too readily available, everything is too cheap.

 

Cash holds WAY too much buying power in this game.

 

We need to stabilize things by increasing the average price of goods.

Alternatively we could lower the pay out by missions & selling cars etc.

 

Either way, things are out of sync atm.

 

I purpose something in the region of:

 

Entity 3m

Assault Rife 120k

Sticky Bombs 3.5k

Average luxury apartment 10m

 

This will develop a healthy reward system whereby goods actually mean something.

 

Post below stating whether you agree or not.

 

COME ON ROCKSTAR MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

 

There are those of us who don't glitch and farm.

Why should I be hit with these "taxes"?

[Buaysgyke]

If u say the entity should cost 3mil... So far in half a month I've only got about 60k, so in theory it should take me over 2yrs till I can afford the entity. Be realistic. It'd only apply to jobless people that sit at home all day with nothing to do besides play GTA

[TommyK154]

its even harder to get money now. I don't regret bike sell glitching at all at this point. R* is making Online worse with each update...

[abfirstr8]

You guys need to think long term, not just about what you want.

 

Right now everything is easy to gain access to with a few mission etc.

 

Pretty soon it will come to the point where everybody in the game has purchased the most expensive thing and has a load of excess cash lying around with not much to do with it.

No I don't feel like thinking about long term if the short term is so little fun. No I wouldn't say everything is attainable with a few missions, I can see it taking a long time to get the Entity XF right now through legit means, so raising the prices even MORE wouldn't be super fun. Cash payouts from missions and jobs suck, so don't raise the prices of the already over priced economy.
