what is it with the armored trucks after all the players have left?

i know this is a random question, but why is it that the armored trucks only seem to show up after all the players where flushed from the lobby?

Is like a bug (new feature)

Hmm; haven't encountered that yet--all armored car spawns I've seen have happened with plenty of players in whatever session I'm in. Managed to finally catch and rob one successfully last night...usually gets robbed or despawns within five minutes.

I kept having this.

 

Someone explained in a thread I made (http://gtaforums.com/topic/740178-too-much-of-a-coincidence-crashes-and-armoured-trucks/) that armoured trucks are triggered by players of certain levels being in the lobby.

 

When all the players leave (which actually means YOU crashed out of the lobby and are effectively in a new lobby of your own), all the 'unsuitable' players of levels who were inhibiting certain events are removed, so an event happens almost instantly. Apparently, the armoured truck spawn is event #1, and is the most likely to happen.

Now that makes sense--sounds somewhat similar to the aggressive driver spawns.

 

Man, there's a ton of intricate detail to learn about this game!
