ARE YOU SERIOUS?! JOBS REQUIRE MONEY?!

[madmanaz]

Like I said, it's not the fact it's easy to get. I could easily just shoot maybe three random npc's or rob a store and obtain it.

 

It's the fact you have to pay for a damn Team Deathmatch feature in general. What the f*ck.

This is to encourage you to not drop out before the end. You pay to take part in many competitions that pay out in real life. That's how the prize money, snacks, event staff are paid.

 

Think of it as paying into the pot. The better you do, the more you make back on what you put in.

So not counting cars/apartments - I said don't include them because you don't need everything purchased within the first month or at once, you're being ridiculous.

 

Most of the money sinks you listed are a 1 time thing, so eventually you stop dumping money into them I don't think you fully understand the term money sink, there needs to be consistent ones otherwise you will just have a ridiculous amount of money and nothing to spend it on.

 

 

Really, the only persistent money sinks are the following -

 

1 - ammo

2 - armor (debatable)

3 - healthcare

4 - activity fees

5 - mechanic/apartment fees

6 - car insurance (again, debatable)

 

1. Relatively cheap unless you spray and pray for god knows why

2. Don't really need it (stops like 1-2 bullets in MP lol) but only like ~$600

3. Recently nerfed and not even that much

4. Again very cheap

5. Once again very cheap

6. Stop driving your cars into the ocean

 

Gotta agree with the previous post, this game needs more actual moneysinks,

 

But another thing to consider, all of these things also could hault a player from having fun.. well, except 2.

 

Which is a completely different and multiple time done topic about how there needs to be a FUN free mode, where money truly doesn't matter which I've been waiting for. That I could go crazy without having to worry about money or insurance, but whatever.

 

I agree, you want more money sinks? Open the casino. To get in? VIP card. It costs you each week to keep the card. Add body guards you pay an hour to stay with you.

 

But to pay for something, a feature that was in every other game for me just seems too ridiculous, even if such a ridiculously small ammount.

 

A "FUN/FREE mode" takes away a big incentive to do missions and earn $, so I highly doubt R* will ever implement that.

Which is understandable, somewhat. Did they really need it though? I mean, ultra realism isn't really fun.

 

It'd be like paying to go into the garage. It'd be like paying to go through toll gates on highways [GTA 4 was super fun with that, right?]. It just kinda got stupid.

 

I get there is some reasoning. But.. does it really need to be like that? Can't we enjoy something without knowing money is being loss?

 

And yeah, they won't implement a fun free mode, just for the $$$. Which is the issue. I'd love to go around with my friends in this game, have a dog fight, etc, and not care about "WELL WAIT, MY MONEY AND BAD SPORT MIGHT GO WRONG. BETTER STOP HAVING FUN."

The medical bills aren't even an issue since the last patch!!! U lose virtually nothing!!! When it was 2k it was total crap but its like 300 or less now I tested it myself!

The only real issue is the Bad Sport system.

 

You should;

- Only get bad sport from spawn killing someone over and over again

- Not get bad sport from blowing up a car that has done excessive damage to you

- If anything in terms of vehicles you should only get bad sport when you have blown up the same car multiple times within a certain amount of time.

Why not just make it so you can blow up whoevers car you want but it doesn't cost them anything????? Seems like a no brainer to me just have it reespawn in your garage
