Lucky to make profit off of the highest payouts after 1.04

[Tabula Rasa]

When im in the zone, I can conserve ammo and make profits counts across jobs for the Most part; jobs meaning General jobs. The other day, I won And topped close to a dozen deathmatches- with bets on every one of them..when I finally got back to free roam I had actually lost money. I can only assume my exceptional thirst for kills matched with my usually adequate auto aim use of ammo resulted in a negative victory. I have this grim attitude for nearly all missions now, unless I do them My way or work together with bright players, efficiency wise... if the payout "halved or not" doesn't come to more than 10 000 Im looking at the PossibilitY of coming out Even in my bank account with 2 to 4 hours of grinding.

 

To be approximate I pulled an all nighter combined with but Separate from the noon a day before, in order to make 200gs. I came up just short of that, I grinded Hard and maximized profits; in what was tbh 12 + hours of gameplay. I was also doing fresh missions aware that first times pay full after the recent patch. I am not wreckless with ammunition, nor with my car however sometimes it does explode-which btw even if someone else destroyed i still pay an entire missions income to make an insurance claim for it. I also sold the car repeatedly as often as I could after Out of Court Settlement. Anyways rant aside, times are hard in gtao, those heists better act as pinnacle income.

 

 

All nighter should explain horrible formatting and grammar and lack of enforcement, point and purpose. jw if other players feel the same.

Yes and no. Yes I would like it to be easier to make money but if I beat the online game in like 3 days then why would I keep the game? Rockstar wants you to keep playing and playing and playing... get it?

There is a difference between length of content, and what Rockstar has done, which is massively inflate the price of everything and halve your profits.

 

If they dropped the price of everything to SP levels, payouts now would be worthwhile towards everything, but tou would still have to pinch pennies if you wanted baller status with a purchased sports car.

Just my POV. If you honestly think about real life, its the exact same thing. We work 40 Hours a week for a measly paycheck and we all want a Lamborghini but we will never get it right? Hell, some people can't even afford a brand new Ford F-150. So its going to be hard to obtain those items you want so badly. Its all a process.

[jdkzombie]

Yeah, but inflating the prices of items then halving the payouts seems more like a big f*ck you from rockstar instead of any kind of fix for anything.

The payout changes are dumb, especially for the missions you really work for like No Hay Bronco, Titan, etc. And the changes keep coming too. I stopped playing missions for the most part and have a made a pretty good sum of money selling cars, store robberies, gang attacks, crates and bounties, took two days to break $200k or about 6 hours of game play. Saving for a Monroe and I have no faith in the stimulus coming this week to help out. It's possible to make money way faster, you just have to stay focused, which is easier in a solo session. I normally solo for while to make a good some of cash and then go into a active lobby to tear sh*t up.

Thought of lifting this one up. One is to be an actionhero to make a profit, as a new player i counted that mostly martin and lester pay, and for gerald and simeon you pay to play. The profit is around 30-40% of the mission pay after getting a new armour and ammo, grenade prices should be lowered.

 

Found this and thought i'd share it here, dont know if that would be possible but it would be great

Lol, seriously man? This is a game about running down a hooker on a hairpin corner at 130 mph with two buddies firing assault rifles out the windows at the local PD. What part of this game suggests 'realism' to you? This is not Second Life, this is Grand Theft Auto. People play videogames to avoid exactly the thing you are talking about, the crushing reality of the things we'll never own or do. Im not saying all items should be easy to obtain, but the 'life is hard' argument falls flat in videogames.

 

If this was realistic, it would be Grand Theft Private Data. Much more profitable, much harder to get caught. But who would play that game?

 

Alright i would totally play that game. You start out in your home with a basic pc, you have to upgrade it, make allies to help you, create a massive botnet and malware and viruses, buy servers all over the world to bounce your signal around and avoid the gov't spooks, find shady companies to sell your info to, launder your funds...

 

What were we talking about again?
