So you still think cash cards arent the problem?

[xInfamousRYANx]

I am done with all the people here that hate glitches and are perfectly fine shelling out more money than 2 dlcs would've cost or grinding thier time away. Im sorry but I study and work and so I get about 8 hours to play a week I would rather have fun than grind because if I can truly earn 100k per hour thats 800k per week its ridiculously low. They should have never nerfed payouts. Whay was wrong with earning 37k per base invaders. Oh I know I was gaining money faster than rockstar could have depleted it. This in turn would mean I was always a step ahead ar never having to buy dem kesh kards.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Payouts have been higher than ever before, but ok.

[Jolly Swagman]

All I have to say is if you prefer Cash Cards to better paying/more Missions and Jobs, you're either drunk or really, really gullible. Or both.

 

Anyhow I'll just leave everyone with this image that sums up what is wrong with gaming as a whole, because I don't feel like spending the rest of my day arguing with The CashCard Defence Force.

 

Yes you have posted that pictrure already.

 

I have a picture of a squirrel using a camera

[TeammateHelper]

I'm not exactly seeing why people are still hating on glitchers. Easy SP to MP is patched, stop getting a hard-on over attacking them, geez.

 

EDIT: I only play 4 hours or less a day, and in reality, even though I keep saying I'll buy or that I've bought a cash card, there's no PSN cards in the Philippines so it's not like I can actually get one.

 

I'm just another dip who would pick "All In The Game" over "Rooftop Rumble", and I managed to buy Del Perro twice and Weazel Plaza once (my first character moved to where my crew spawns). So stop freaking punching each other in the face.

The DLC is not even worth more than $0.99, people that buy cash cards support the practice of micro transactions which will make R* greedy. If people did not buy cash cards we would be getting quality DLC not EA-type bullsh*t.

 

Did you really compare R* to EA? How's anyone supposed to take you seriously after that?

 

We would not be getting a damn thing if there was no revenue coming from Online at all. You think those servers & their maintenance pay themselves? You think the team patching the game works for free?

R* constantly have to prove to Take-Two that Online is profitable in order for it to still be supported. If Take-Two sees nothing profitable out of it, they will indeed pull the plug on it.

 

And it's nice that you think the DLC is worth 0.99 cents....and yet we still get it for free. Yeah, they're totally greedy motherf*ckers.

I'd rather have them shut down the servers so they could focus on the real game, GTA V.

The hell are you on about? I just said "not just GTA, but gaming across the board"

 

 

Fanboys hone in on a single anti-cashcard sentiment and rush to attack without actually reading. Pretty much par for the course on here which is I why I don't even bother arguing it anymore.

 

 

You don't bother arguing it because you time and again show you don't understand the argument.

 

The fact that you insinuate (or rather, bluntly make the association) that anyone who "rushes to attack" (lol, melodramatic much?) anti-cash card sentiment is a fanboy, tells me all I need to know about where you are coming from.

 

Yet this whole post is an attack with no facts to back anything up. Quite ironic.

 

 

The post I quoted is the evidence required.

 

You called anyone who held a different opinion to you on this topic, a fanboy. Ridiculous like the majority of your posts that, and here's the real irony, have no facts to back anything up. And no, before you even try, that image you keep posting doesn't count given its origins.

[prestonchan]

ok so an option provided by the developer become a problem after they fix some bug/ glitch what the f*ck ever

and someone cried "I cant cheat anymore so f*ck cash card"...

what's wrong with the world today...

[Xyn]

 

 

 

 

Yeah, because Shark Cards are completely relatable to this image: they are damn near 50% of the game & required to enjoy the full experience.

Hell, this doesn't even apply to V at all. Where was the Best Buy/Gamestop exclusive stuff? Where's the $15 DLC?

 

You don't like the cards, don't buy 'em. But your supporting arguments are inane.

Hey, like I said. the proof is in the pudding of your attacks. Enjoy spending all your money on cash cards.

Wait if micro transaction pays for servers hiw in the hell did rockstar keep up the gta iv service. 2 dlcs seemed to bring in enough revenue. So why not releaae 2 dlcs for this game whats changed hmmm. And on the ea thing I challenge you to lurk in the general discussion of need for speed world and ee the similarity

[BLeonard]

The pack is free, yet the items inside the pack cost GTA$, which if you want everything without grinding 24/7 you pretty much have to buy a cash card. Thus: appears to be free, but not actually free. (not including beach bum pack because it was just a few shorts and glasses)

Wrong.

 

If you want everything IMMEDIATELY then yes, you'll likely need a fair sum of cash right at the get-go. But, not one item in any DLC thus far has been a REQUIREMENT in order to play the game.

 

If you "want everything," you should have to pay for all of it in GTA$... Everyone got all of the "Beach Bum" stuff for free and you turned right around and dismissed that in your own post as "just a few shorts and glasses."

 

So, if the only "free" thing we got (meaning not costing GTA$) is dismissed so quickly, why should any of us want that sort of thing again? Shouldn't we all want DLC that actually has VALUE to it? So, when you get something from that DLC pack, it actually represents time and effort?

 

If Adders were free, do you think everyone would own one? Of course they wouldn't. We saw that when the Rat Loader was free... Many people who had one before didn't want another because "everyone's gonna have one now." Similar deal with the Asea (Stickerbomb car). The minute it became available for purchase, it lost it's value (primarily, "uniqueness").

 

The point is, people buy Adders (or really, anything in the game) because it's a symbol of status. If everyone had one, it wouldn't be nearly as desired.

They're not going to until people stop with the exploits. The more things that people exploit, the more time R* is going to use to try to fix it.

In this particular game, I consider cash cards a form of cheating. However, if it means: more cash cards sold = more free DLC , then I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.

Cash cards were never a problem. Without them, you would have to PAY for your dlc. R* is giving you a choice between taking the easy way and buying, or working for them.

So, anyone that chooses to buy an Adder is a "douchebag troll"?

As you've repeatedly pointed out. I'm not talking about a measly addition of a few hundred dollars. I'm talking about adding more/better paying Jobs to keep the grinding interesting, which the CashCard DefenseForce always seem to miss. If you want to waste your life grinding the same contact missions we've had since October, go ahead. Go mine salt for fifty years. I couldn't care less. I'm sure you'll have another "witty" response to this to try and get the last word so go ahead, but when you finally wake up one day and realize what a scourge microtransactions are you'll think of me. And I take comfort in that. Not going to bother with this thread anymore.

So you're mad because their wasn't unanimous acclaim for you and your oh-so insightful views?

You know why people hate glitches yet support Shark Cards?

-Glitches don't support the game, Shark cards do. Glitching is cheating, simple as that.

-Glitchers claim shark cards destroy the game yet most of R* has had to do is patch every exploit people try to find (and they are trying, these exploits aren't some "found-by-accident" thing anymore) and thus makes them waste resources on fixing them rather than getting on with other priorities. Shark Cards on the other hand, pay R*'s bills & keep the Online game afloat.

-Glitchers claim people who buy the cards are lazy...really? Having extra cash that worked hard for IRL to pay for your entertainment actually implies the opposite; that you're a good earner who makes enough to spend on whatever luxuries he/she wants. Glitchers, on the other hand, are generally too lazy to neither have real money nor play the game and work for their rewards.

 

You're entire logic (R* nerfed payouts, it must be to get me to buy shark cards) is idiotic, & I'm really doubting you're a college student like you claim to be.

What part of "they are not forced" do you not understand? There is never an instant where you cannot buy or acquire something without them.

Cash cards will only be the problem if/when they decide to turn them into "shark card points". Which would be used to buy exclusive, pay for with real money, content.

Until then, simply just "playing the game" (*gasp*...oh no he did'int.) earns you more than enough money, and allows you to earn everything available.

[xInfamousRYANx]

Do you see any other reason contact mission payout were nerfed if you can give me a smart answer I have yet to see a reasonable explanation.

Also how did just 2 paid dlcs keep gta iv afloat but 2 paid dlcs cant keep gta online services up

Because you're not in charge, that's why.

Besides, you'd probably complain that the DLC includes some object or item that gives the owner an advantage & scream "they want me to buy the DLC in order to compete; they want my money, screw them." Same sh*t, different day.

Here's a news flash: Companies will always try something different if it has the potential to earn them a bigger profit. That's what a company does. The reason they didn't before was because the overall gaming/micro-transaction landscape was not the same in '07-'09 as it is today. It's a much safer bet.

IV did not use cloud based servers. they used P2P.

That's why, genius.

Cloud saving

GTA IV saved to your system and had P2P.

People are so easy to assume that anything that they don't like happening in the game is something to do with cash cards, even if it has nothing to do with cash cards.

 

I would like to remind you all DLC since release has been absolutely free. Rockstar or Take-Two could have easily priced all the updates at $2 a piece, but at least they have the f*cking decency to release it as such.

And... There it is... The guy that says "cash cards are a problem" could very well be the only poster in this entire thread that has indeed, bought cash cards.

 

A: If you truly believe that "cash cards are a problem," why would you buy them? Multiple times even? You, by your own admission are willfully contributing to something you label as a "problem."

 

B: Even if DLC cost money and there were no cash cards, the missions could be exactly the same as they are now, with the exact same payouts. Then, my guess is, you'd bitch about it and say "why can't they just let me buy cash cards and make the DLC free instead?"

 

C: If it's such a "sh*tty game," why continue to play at all? Not only are you still playing what you consider a "sh*tty game," you're pumping more money into said "sh*tty game." If a restaurant has bad food and service, do you go back and eat there again, too...?
