Hosts launching 4+player jobs with only 2 players?

[EEDDDWWWAARRRD]

I find this is becoming ridiculously common. I go on call, see the job only has 2 people so far, next thing I see is that "so-and-so launched the job."

It's always jobs like Rooftop Rumble, LS Connection, etc etc. Even if we are skilled enough to do it, it's too much of a risk and seems to pay much less than it does with a full roster.

Is this an issue for an issue for anyone else? What's the point in it?

I can't really call something like this an issue.. Maybe an inconvience if it's something that bugs you because those are jobs a lot of people solo as if it's instinct to them.

 

This is particularly why I don't choose 'on-call' when I select quick-join contact missions because I can't stand not knowing what I'm getting into when I use that feature. I always select 'join alone' because at least at that point I know whether or not it's going to be something I want to back out of.

 

And missions do pay less with less people, but that never really bugged me because it isn't a significant difference.

 

I find usually low-levels quickly launch jobs like that because when they see my rank (250) they assume I'll carry them. Really this is just trivial stuff man.

The host can't launch a job until the minimum amount of players have joined.....

 

The jobs you mentioned can be played with 1 player and 2 is certainly enough

 

in fact 2 players is enough to do any job in the game

 

Free Aim gives you higher RP but like the number of players it's not enough to worry about

Doesn't bother me,

 

You just don't need more than the minimum required players for missions (exception being "GTA: Today").

 

Sure, with 4+ players you make +30% $, but you still get +10% $ with 2.

 

Plus, the less players there are, the less likely something will go wrong.

I don't think OP titled this very well but I get the impression from the title they are referring to jobs

which require 4+ players to complete being launched without the minimum requirements being

met.

 

Don't think that's what he meant since they go onto talk about missions but as others have said

its not a big issue and I for one certainly would not loose any sleep if I was paid less because

of less players.

Plus, the less players there are, the less likely something will go wrong you'll get Trolled!

 

fixed for you

This is why I solo most jobs. Just in case when I choose to go 'on call' I know I can cope if the host is planning on being AFK so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.

I don't really care if the host goes afk, as you're getting the +10% multiplier, and you have one less person who will f*ck up.
