DON'T FARM (Rooftop Rumble)


FairGaming
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! A friend of mine farmed Rooftop approximately 100 times over a period of 3-4 months.

 

He had earned just over $2 million dollars in doing this when one day he came online to find he only had $1000 remaining.

 

My friend just figured he had either been hacked or experienced some kind of bug so having no money he decided not to send a ticket but to call them directly, in order to get a faster response.

 

After the usual wait time of about an hour or so, he finally got onto someone and politely asked Why and WTF?

 

He was told, "We have removed your cash from your account because you have received too much money from a mission."

 

He said I have been doing Rooftop Rumble and they replied with "Yes, that's why" They said their was nothing they could do.

 

 

MY THOUGHTS:

 

IN THAT PHONE CALL ROCKSTAR CLAIMED "THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO"

 

How about warning us publicly or privately in a message, or just CAP it at 5 - 10 plays per day for example. Not take said cash without warning. I calculated the money he made at an average of 7 minutes per level is around 12 hours of game play.

 

 

QUESTIONS:

 

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

(I believe my friend 100% I do but to be fair this is still secondary information.)

 

If this is true, Do you think this is reasonable considering there appears to be no warning from Rockstar for doing this. If there has been a warning made by R* could someone please direct me with a link.

That IS unbelievable. Especially since rockstar clearly stated during the "shut down" a few months ago that only people exploiting the game would be penalized, not people who have repeated missions.

 

But who knows? I swear, I must have earned at least a mil and half on RR alone and no one has taken my money. Of course, I spend it as soon as I get it like any irresponsible san andrean.

Someone in this story is bullsh*tting. Regardless, I already don't farm RR, so I'm all good in the hood.

I want to doubt it also as this is grossly unfair in my opinion but my friend is absolutely adamant this happened. I questioned him thoroughly before posting this as to not start a rumor etc and I am totally convinced he is telling the truth.

 

At the time it happened he was genuinely upset and shocked as we all were and spoke with conviction when I challenged this.

 

I guess we shall see soon if this post gets to another player who has had this happened to them....

who plays RR anymore anyway?

A lot of people. It still pops up when I join random missions, but I usually leave because it's not worth doing anymore.

 

Titan of a Job and Landing Gear seem to be the new RRs. I predict R* is going to "fix" those missions in the next update.

Absolutly true as the same thing happened to my friend's cousin's next door neighbor's co-worker's brother inlaw.

Yeah, and my dog sitter's-best friends-cousin's-college room mates-second boyfriend too.

 

This is not legit. Your friend is a liar and an attention whore.

Nice try... but I'm willing to bet that your "friend" has been doing a bit more than grinding.

It's not fair to say that. How do you know or is this just an assumption?

 

Believe me when I tell you, I had questioned them initially and again at considerable length when I decided to put this to the forums. Their account was detailed and recalled without hesitation, spoken with conviction and there was most definately genuine emotion behind it all.

 

Look, I couldn't believe it straight away either as I am a rather suspicious person by nature. Gullible, I am not. I have tried to come up with a reason why anybody might make something like this up and in the context of the conversation we were having at the time, it made no sense to do so.

 

I wont name the person as I don't have their permission to do so at this stage, but I assure you they do not possess the type of personality or attitude that would fabricate something untrue, merely to get attention. Finally, It needs to be said that posting this was solely my idea and not theirs.

 

Attention Whore? I think not. Glitching and not telling me the whole story, possible. I did ask this and I was told that they had not.

It's not that anybody is having a go at you per se, but most of us here have seen this scenario played out that many times, and 99% of the time the punishment is justified because the player was dishonest and had been glitching. Don't take it personally.

 

As bad as some of R☆'s decisions have been, in this instance they are almost always doing it for the right reasons.

clearly this is fake and never happened because firstly and formostly rockstar doesnt respond within an hour, it takes them a month usually, haha! and secondly farming isnt against any sort of rules and is infact the only way to make money legit. Oh and the fact you used all caps is a sure sign that you are a moron and dont know what the f*ck youre talking about, lol! fake fake fake, I give your troll attempt an F due to lack of plausibility and unoriginality. better luck next time.

If you read the text properly, you would see that I stated that he did "not" send a ticket, he rang them. I'm not even going to waste my time on your Caps Lock or Troll comments.

Rooftop rumble? I've ground that for millions & millions...O.P., your friend is either a liar, a woman, or a glitcher. What you say happened NEVER HAPPENED.

Your friend is full of sh*t. I've got a friend who's made an upward of 5mill minimum strictly from farming missions non-stop. Either your friend is bullsh*tting you about his glitched/hacked cash and you fell for it hook line and sinker or you're trying to bullsh*t us with a 'your friend' who is really you about your glitched/hacked cash and hope we'll fall for it hook line and sinker.

LOL, Take the easy way out, I knew this would happen too and I know how this looks but I wouldn't put it past them. We shall see won't we? Problem is, anyone who has had this happen has probably rage snapped their disc already and isn't poking around on a dedicated GTA forum, inundated with FB's and RR farmers :)

oh indeed,how convenient that they all broke their gta games and have never created a gta forum account despite playing it for a year now. yet you created a forum account specifically to post this and tell us all about it, why thank you OP, thanks you greatly for your selfless thoughts and the time you spent to create and account and formulate such a wonderfully colorful post informing us poor folks about this heinous act perpetrated by rockstar. how can we ever repay you for your kindness?
