Will BAWSAQ ever be available in GTA Online?

[Ryan1874]

If so, how exactly will it work? Won't everyone just invest a load of shares into AmmuNation, Dynasty8, Legendary Motorsport etc,?

[PoopyThomas]

It won't

[BondageKitty]

If it wasn't, it wouldn't be featured like the other stock market.

R* has bigger fish to fry before it tackles BAWSAQ

They need to learn to walk before they can run

I doubt this will ever be implemented. If it is, the only way to make it work is to make it random. Stocks just go up and down by themselves, without player influence.

Pretty much this.

 

It's also going to be hard to justify opening it, without having any kind of means of seeing what's going on around the stock market. Market fluctuation and all that rich money jibberish. (That's jibberish to the working man for a reason!)

 

So they have way too much ground work to lay out, while people are STILL selling their Adders at LSC for 170K a pop using glitches ad infinitum.

[rickreim]

Nope, cause as soon as they would implement it, someone would figure out how to exploit it.

 

Can everyone say: Kesh Kurds?

Next gen

If they implement BAWSAQ they might as well boost mission rewards as well, because people are just going to figure out how to rig the system to get rich.

I mean, look at single player BAWSAQ. Just last week I was able to max out my money by putting about 5 million into Whiz when it went into the negatives.

 

That being said, they should have figured out a way to just have it never show up in the internet instead of just leaving it "under maintenance" all the time.

[djmatao]

wont happen. hackers would have a field day with that and we would be back in the billionaire days

Next gen

 

The current gen systems can't handle the complexity of an online stock market. Oh no, only the PS4, Xbox One and PC can do that.

[RoyalRedXIII]

A thread about BAWSAQ?

 

*insert lame, immature sexual joke here* but that is really just too easy -.-

 

OT: as others have said, it would we be the cause of some of the most severe exploitation yet; a glitch that would directly impact money. And at any rate, I doubt R* would do and/or say anything about this before releasing heists. It may be on the web browser, but I haven't read anything from them talking about its launch.

LOL. I don't think that's what he was implying. If it has anything to do with "nex gen" at all (which I doubt) it will be because they will use that feature as a selling point to buy GTAV over again for the PS4, XB1 and PC.

 

Not because it "can't handle it" I find that hilarious.

People would complain that R* keeps crashing stock to sell cash cards. Everyone would just keep losing gta$

[ZakMc]

I was excited when i heard it was gonna be online. but alas.

Im pretty sure itd be easy to mess with stock prices too haha

[thorpey181]

It was never going to be viable for a game that uses the microtransaction model. I'm not saying they didn't, but has anyone actually got any proof they said it was going to included in Online?

 

People making money from money would be directly counterproductive to their economic interests. The only possible way I could see it being viable is if it was instanced on every server and specific to player actions within that, which I imagine would be hugely resource intensive (and given all the freezing and sessions dropping out, would be annoying as hell in practice).

[raggingmonkey]

No...the fanboys will complain about hackers and cheaters taking advantage of it and stealing millions of dollars from R*
