around $5000 for a beard? really R*? really?

[elfoam]

What sucks, is that I can't grow a full moustache in real life. I can only grow a beard. I know people younger than me(I'm 22 btw) that can grow a full moustache. One of these days, I too will have a pornstache.

22 is early days. I wasn't at full hair production until I was around 28. I only got decent chest hair at about age 27. Males aren't full grown until late 20s, physically and mentally.

 

The best days haven't arrived for you yet.

I would pay way more that 5k to procure my luscious handlebar 'stache.

 

You must be poor or lack inginuity if everything's a grind.

Or rely on money made from free roam.

There is actually a variety of reasons the beards cost so much OP.

Sounds cheap to me. They cost $7K in New York, according to this article...

Is this sh*t for real? What's R* excuse for these ridiculous prices in online? Hair implants? Do they think we are that f*cking stupid to not know the sh*t they are pulling on us? I can't imagine the future of gaming. Do you guys pull a blind eye and just accept this type of sh*t?

 

**btw I'm not broke in gta o, its just that I can't accept the fact that you have to "grind" in order to do anything in this game.

"I can't imagine the future of gaming"..... I personally think we are in the worst era for gaming right now. I feel like it could only get a little bit worse before it gets better. Consumers have the final say when it comes to products and little by little people are learning.

 

btw, I still a time frame of around 10-15 years before it starts getting better again, but it will take time.... but I don't feel like it could get much worse than right now... maybe just a little.

Oh I forgot also that in discount stores above the shirt racks in the back there is a sign that says "ON SALE 1 FOR 9.99 OR TWO FOR 16.99" click on shirts... minimum $5k+ haha like the fudge R*

I remember when I had to pay $5,000 on a beard that I grew. They hunt you down; if you don't have the 5 grand, they rip the beard off of your face so you have a baby face again.

I agree with you but i think the reason is that this was R*'s horrible and pathetic attempt to control the economy, in other words, the prices of everything are affected by mission, race, etc payouts. They could fix this by reducing the payouts of missions, races, etc but also by reducing the prices of things you can buy.

 

I think the reason it offends us because we're not used to hearing about 5000$ haircuts irl. Even if R* would implement the "reduction" idea, everything would be exactly the same because its just a scaling issue. It would cost the same amount of time, i suppose. I dunno. I maybe just spitballing from my ass.

Yeah if we can havs SingePlayer prices that'd be nice (20k for ridicoulous things like contacts 50k for turbo and 25k for bulletproof tires which are 4k in SINGLEPLAYER)

[Intoxica7ed]

You can get paid 10k for 3 minutes of "work" in GTAO and that's a loose definition of work. Have you ever been paid that in real life? If you cant work for 1.5 minutes for something you want than what are you willing to work for? Should everything just be handed over? This economy isn't like real life, you're paid much more and the cost of living is more. Pretty simple really.

 

Cost of IRL male Haircut: 15$ plus 5$ tip

 

I make around 20$ an hour so it takes me an hour to buy a haircut IRL.

 

Cost of GTAO Haircut: $5000

 

GTAO Income potential: 150k per hour.

^^ Nice breakdown, too bad you actually have to do that to get it across that they're just being drama queens.

Yeah everything handed out on a red carpet is nice to a few, but most of us like a challenge and earning things. You set the challenge I will accomplish it. Thats my mentality at least whether its fair or not.

 

The 25k for bullet proof tires is probably the most under-rated purchases in the game. So lets make it 4k. Then all the high level guys get pissed cause they worked their asses off for 25k. Now low levels and newbies can get BP tires easily.
