Anybody wish there was an option to "Cap" your Online Rank?

[iVoltScopez V2]

Sometimes, yeah.

[Juicyfer]

 

One important reason: Bragging rights.

 

No, seriously. After you turn 120, your background turns bronze. If you continue to level up, your background turns silver, then golden.

lol at this guy ^^^

 

The "One important reason" is Shark Cards. R* wants players to keep playing, so they put the level cap at 1,000.....

 

You people, whenever you have a "WHY" question about GTA online... the answer is (99.9% of the time) "Because of Shark Cards".

 

Sorry, but those are the facts. All you have to do is use a little bit of brain power and you will start to see and realize that I am right. go ahead, start asking yourself why things are a certain way in GTA online and it will always boil down to shark cards

 

 

 

 

I honestly don't see how more levels = more sales, but to each their own.

[Is this The Guy?]

No

 

Gives me a sense of accomplishment.

 

I'm level 258 right now, and I want people to know it

[gorskiegangsta]

I sort of wished I could cap my secondary character LV at 69, but at the end of the day, who cares.

[LA_Takers]

An OPTION? OMG f*ck YOU FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT

 

jk lighten up people just say you wouldnt choose to use it

[DrewGSW]

Just make another character and level up on there. On my 1st character Im 166 cause I stopped leveling that one up and im trying to get 120 on my second (in 91)

[godziller]

I'd like the option

[LL Cool L]

actually yeah good idea, you should be able to choose weather you want to gain rp/level up or not, I would cap at 200 (currently 176)

No.

[BoJack Cognac]

"Anybody wish there was an option to "Cap" your Online Rank?"

Sure. If you wanna do that.
Personally, I wanted to stop gaining levels after 300, but RP happens.

[Man-Django]

It's good to see who's been playing the most during the host screen. Also another good to check on the host screen is K/D, not for bragging rights but to see the more obvious modders.

 

eg. A level 32 player with a K/D of 5.7 = very high chance of being a modder = kick him before it starts.

[Nacho Z]

It's probably the least rewarding level up in any game I can think of, after a certain point, but I wouldn't want it to go. As gamers we need to feel like there's some kind of progression.

 

When I level up now it doesn't make me raise an eyebrow but I'd miss it if it was gone.

[rapidwiz]

Its to keep us addicts addicted .. as simple as that

 

Can you imagine that said to drug addicts, that's it, no more drugs, you have reached your quota.

 

I don't play to level up, I play because I enjoy playing too much even though gets boring, I play because it's fun.

I wish I could hide mine in PvP lobbies. They think I'm some amazing hacking machine that will god mode through the entire match. I joined the event playlist last night and some guy was really hating on my rank. However, I'm going through a real bad luck time on the game, I couldn't kill a flea with an RPG if I wanted to.

 

I'm also tired of the idiots that even though they ranked themselves up on Rooftop Rumble, they still expect me to be some amazing PvP goddess, even though a great chunk of my RP comes from blowing up the Vagos with my Buzzard in CCO III! Duh!

Don't forget about the "can u give me money?" And the "Your rank is hacked" squeakers... Which seems to happen to me quite a bit.

[The-Murphy-Chap]

Takes ages to level up just 1 does me head in playing various amounts of missions to go up one level, Barely get 2000 rp for a big job stupid the money and rank system to me.

[AceThaCreator]

Rank 330 on my first & i dont really care much about rank as much as others who seem to make a HUGE deal out of it. Ive been playing since day 1 so its normal to be above 300+ legit, im just sick of assh0les thinking that im a hacker/cheat & kick me as a result from games. As far as your questions goes OP no. Rank is a sign of progression & not necessarily skill, i just don't try to rank anymore.

[*Lola]

They wanted you to keep making new characters or accounts and buy Shark cards. That's why 120 is basically full level. Get bored, start again with new cars, apartments, etc. Now that they increased payouts, it's easier to rank up and buy all that stuff.

What background

[PoisoNinja140_48]

I don't see why anyone would want to cap or limit their level... Just so it doesn't look like you've been playing as long? lol

Has anyone begun to consider the fact the level cap is so high is because Rockstar are trying to make GTA Online an ongoing thing. the people that boosted to stupid levels are going to be disappointed when you realize you're supposed to be around level 400 once the Vice City expansion comes out to GTAO (or something similar)

what I'm saying is Rockstar probably have future plans for all those unused levels.

Just play normally and don't boost or anything, capping the level until next gen would have been a good idea but obviously it hasn't come to pass.

A lot of people don't notice the change, but after you reach 100, this little sphere next to your level changes from Blue to Bronze.

 

 

The higher your level, the better(?) your color.

[RavingWithJesus]

I sort of do, the double RP events are making my character level up like crazy. the deathmatches over the weekend ranked my person big time. I'm over rank 200 now...which is kinda sad...but I've been playing since GTAO was launched. The reason why I kind of would like this OPTION is because I get kicked from lobbies all the time now, which is annoying as sh*t

[xoC18H21NO3xo]

They need to make a way to show other players that your RP is verified and legit. I'm tired of hearing people whine about my rank. Just hit the report button, don't msg me or get on your mic scream "hacker!" I'm also tired of people telling me how to play the game.

[reform]

Kinda wish there had originally been a level 120 cap. Levels past 120 at the mo are pointless really, and it would have been nice if updates had introduced more things to unlock, and increased level cap by around 5-10 levels per update depending on the amount of content added.

 

So, say a patch introduced some new clothes and weapons, the clothes would unlock scattered bwteen 121 and 130, and the new weapon might unlock at 124, with its mods unlocking between 125 and 130. Could also throw in some new colors for LSC between 121 and 130, etc.

 

Would give people something to play for rather than loggin in, buying all the new sh*t, then logging out.

If they offered an exclusive reward that was worth it I would have prestiged at 120 and started over (and again a second time for a different reward) but the most likely result of this would be

A) They wouldn't make the reward worth it

or

B) Someone would find a way to glitch whatever the reward was anyways

Edited November 5, 2014 by The Rangler

[marshallbslayer]

If 120 was the level cap I would be playing this game A LOT less. I enjoy the sense of progression. I'm still accomplishing something by leveling up my character.

this

[V HoneyBadger V]

In GTA IV Multiplayer, the highest rank was 10. It was a challenge to reach that level, so you had to play a boatload of multiplayer games.

 

There were so many level 10s that you couldn't tell who was mediocre, who was actually good, who was really good, and who was just so ridiculously good, they must be modd'n.

 

Point is, that caps only cap the caps of those that cap the caps. Otherwise, capping would cap the caps that wouldn't cap in the cap place.

 

See?

 

What a load of cap.

[YogurtStorm]

No, why would you purposely want to cut your sense of progress?

[chainsoar]

 

• Rockstar implements the ability to cap your character level

 

No one is ever again any rank except 420, 666 or 1337

 

Internet explodes

 

Society collapses and developed nations fall under the rule of anarchy

 

Good job OP thanks a lot jerk
