Has anyone just ditched public lobbies for invite only or crew only?

[Khelandros]

 

You obviously know that this is what god mode players do so why would you chase $9000 bounties?

 

 

Yes, some people with bounties have God mode on. How do we know which ones? Are you suggesting that we simply not chase any bounties anymore (g-mode or not) because one could potentially be a glitcher?

 

 

Why would you waste time chasing bounties?

It isn't wasting time if you enjoy doing it.

This, this, a thousand times this.

[GhostlySentinel]

I only play in public if I'm with a sizable group of friends.

[Lay]

Invite only when I'm doing jobs. Which is what I do mostly now.

 

Public (which is rarer now) when me and buddy feel like causing some drama.

With all the glitching and modding going on, I hate even more the fact that you may be in an invite only lobby, but when you back out of a job lobby or the "Would you like to spectate message?" you sometimes get placed into a public lobby with the god moders and hacked money circulation. During the billionaire days, I would sometimes be gifted hacked money the instant I joined.

Guh. I hate getting randomly dumped into a public session. It also will happen if you time out and come back.

Whatever I'm doing in free roam, I like having it populated by others. I enjoy hearing bombs go off while I'm sipping on wine in my apartment. I like knowing that every time I step foot into free roam that I have to stay on my toes. If a bunch of red dots are blocking an entrance to LSC or a clothing store, I learn to pre-plan my routes when I plan to avoid fighting.

 

It keeps you on edge. It keeps things interesting. It's what GTA is suppose to be, completely unbounded by rules and laws. You don't come home from school or work and pop in GTA to continue to obey - that rhymes - you play it to break free, kill, commit burglary, steal cars, risk your life, etc.

 

So, other than playing exclusively with a group of friends, why would I play in an Invite Only? That's what games like the Sims, Farming Simulator and Goat Simulator are for... go play those if you want to play nice. BAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

 

 

 

I agree 100%. Well said!

I couldn't be bothered with the clown act that is considered public lobbies.

I'll play invite only with my friends, if anyone I like is on. But if they're not, I either don't play this game, or I go into public sessions to see what kind if sh*t's going down.

[Aby]

Did this months ago.

[gtafan26]

I rarely play in pubic lobbies anymore.

[Angerbox]

I rarely play in public lobbies. Me and buddies are always playing in invite only. We always have a blast

[SAUL_SILVER]

Public all the way, I don't really battle in FR but like the feeling that it can kick off anytime.

[Mightymomo22]

I only play Invite only now. I'm tired of getting wasted in public lobbies.

[SteampunkJester]

I've always played invite only since day one because I knew that public was going to be terrible no matter what.
