So you still think cash cards arent the problem?

April 9, 2014

They patched the easy sp to mp and store car glitch. Its all to sell more cash cards. Yet some people will still not get that cash cards are a problem.

No, they patched it because it wasn't meant to be a part of the game.

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.

You haven't paid anything for the DLC's so far? How can free content be a result of R* being greedy and only want to sell more cash cards? Sure they would like people to buy them, otherwise they wouldn't bother having them. But they do not force you to buy them. You're not required to pay to play.

Look at it the other way around, if it wasn't for the people who bought cash cards - the DLC's would perhaps cost money.

And no, I'm not defending R* or cash cards. I just don't see them as pure evil. It's for the people who don't want to grind, or have the patience to save the money for the cars/gun/mods the want. That's fine.

I've never bought a cash card, neither will I ever do so. Simply ignore them, it's easy.

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.

They tried to balance out the game so that you have to invest time into the game to unlock things (earn them - weird concept in a game I know) so being able to make ridiculous amounts on missions that take like 5 minutes is a bit against that model especially since the missions in this game require literally almost no effort whatsoever.

Did it ever occur to you that there are people out there that actually enjoy missions/jobs and don't only gain fun out of killing the same person in FR repeatedly? The fact that most of your complaints are based off you essentially expecting the developers to cater to your personal needs (mostly childish greed if you basically want everything unlocked for no effort involved) just show how much you intelligently thought into this topic and argument.

Side note: You can make 200k per hour on RR which will add up to a decent amount if you spend a few sessions every now and then playing a mission that essentially is just killing a handful of NPCs and driving. Wow what a ridiculous thing right?

Finaly, somebody with comon sense.

You cheat, you forfeit the right to criticise the game. You go against Rockstars vision for the game. What's gonna hapen when the heists come out? You'll have way to much money and you'll complain that there's nothing left to buy in the game.

Wrong place to argue against cash cards OP. Everyone here loves microtransactions and will defend them forever. It's just the new generation of idiots that have ruined gaming across the board, not just GTA, with their acceptance of nickle and diming microtransactions.

If people want to waste real money on fake money I'm fine with it, because it gives them no real advantage and keeps the DLC free for me.

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)

Wow are you trying to say that I actually have to play the game to unlock things in it? This is just an outrage!

Let's see I have to earn 500k to buy the turismo? Damn that's ~3hrs of missions, yeah that's definitely 24/7. And holy sh*t it's almost as if not everybody wants to buy every single new vehicle in the DLC but I mean since we're on the topic of your horribly flawed point let's look at that;

You need 1,840,000 for all the vehicles in the business update, you do the math, 200k an hour off easy missions sounds like 24/7 grinding right?

protip: ridiculously exaggerating things doesn't help your argument.

Sp to mp hurt nobody except rockstar. Modding cars for others hurt nobody it wasn't an exploit but newbes now are forced to grind cheap ass Simeon and Gerald missions.

Okay, since you're clearly not old enough to understand the nuances of business, i'll break it down for you.

SP2MP hurt nobody except R*. Correct. However, R* develop the game. They decided to make a microtransaction business model for GTAO, and - right of wrong - that's what they're going to use. As a result, they look to make money from Cash Card sales (it's fact of life). If they don't make money from the cash cards because everyone is cheating by using SP2MP for their free cars and mods, or any number of money glitches, then the business is a failure.

If the business fails, R* will cease supporting the game. The servers will be shut down, and R* will move on to their next game.

R* is not a charity, OP. They're in the business of making money. They've been generous enough that for a game they're trying to make an MMO out of doesn't have a subscription fee associated with it. Did they nerf RR? No. The premier money grinding mission was left alone, so don't give me "they're only about selling cash cards" because it's obviously horsesh*t.

As far as i'm concerned, this thread is one big rant about how you're mad that you can't get free cars and mods anymore. Time to get over yourself, OP.

As for newbs grinding cheap ass Simeon/Gerald missions; You want to show me an MMO where you start at max level with access to all the highest paying missions, the best weapons and vehicles readily at your disposal? You start at the bottom in every game - why the f*ck should this one be any different?

I don't like the microtransaction era. But it's the future, sadly. There's more money to be made from releasing a free game with things that sells microtransaction items every day than selling a multiplayer game that doesn't. Time to deal with that, too.

Imagine these kids when they get a job. "What, you want me to work for 30 years to buy this house?"

This is a video game.

It's a reflection on their ideas & beliefs.

I put my beliefs into games that give me the choice to. To kill or not to kill, to give the letter or not to give it, to sacrifice or not to sacrifice, blue pill or red pill, meat or carrot, marry dude or marry girl. Etc, etc, etc...

Sometimes I don't, because it's a video game and it's fun to do what the f*ck ever because it's a video game.

I don't complain about working for something in real life because that's real life and it's supposed to be that way. Unless it's really legit bullsh*t, but that's real life too, so that's just whatever.

I don't turn on a video game and be like, "Aw, hell yeah! I can't wait to work and turn this mother f*cker into a chore, woo!"

My belief is that video games... are video games. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.

But, see, here's the thing, and at this point I'm going to repeat myself, so I'm just going to copy/paste to save time.

People farm, whether it's races over and over or missions over and over, because that's the way Rockstar made this game. For some godforsaken reason, Rockstar decided to make it more structured than it's ever been, forcing it into some awkward limbo between MMO and Online, full of shallow, artificial gameplay extension.

This is new territory for Rockstar, and it really f*ckin' shows. They have no goddamn clue what they're doing. This is supposed to be Grand Theft Auto, not WoW or Runescape, and if I want to have the kind of fun Grand Theft Auto offered me in the past, I need money.
