I only troll on Finales.... if the host was a dick and quickly changed payouts once everyone pressed ready.

Just gonna stand there and watch it burn

Well that's all right because I like the way it looks

When the host makes a last second change to the payouts and drops you below 15% or on down to 0% .......then you didnt really troll them, they asked you to screw up..........

 

I played as a random the other night with two others who were members of a crew , I did have a headset so i could talk to them, so the host considered me "less of a random" but the 4th guy did not have a mic and at the last second his cut was changed to 0% ......i sent the 4th guy a message asking if he knew the host just screwed him.......he did and replied a failure would occur at the end of the heist (Prison Break) i messaged back i understand and will ride with ya as long as ya wanna stay with these jackwads.......I was the Pilot, he was Demolitions, the other two were prisoner and guard.......the first time he failed it , he crashed the buzzard into the prison as the others were jumping into the truck to leave..........after that he failed it closer and closer to the end....the last time was on the beach after we bailed out and landed, he took the other two out with the rotor, i had to laugh at this one....... I kept telling the host as he would bitch and moan about the failures, you set his payout to 0% what do you expect........i suggested to him to exit and restart the heist and invite us back in and we could complete the complete the job..........He did once we got back into the heist room, the 4th guy sent the host a message telling him to set the payouts to 10% for the Host and his Buddy, and give me and him 40% each......the host told me about the message and i laughed at him, as said well it sounds like you got two choices either kick us out or pay up.....it surprised me when he set the cutts to what dude told him,..........we then completed the heist no problem

Some people just love practising schadenfreude.

Either:

 

A: They have done them all already, have enough money and don't want/need to do them.

B: They are sick of getting constant invites to 'The Prison Break' in free-roam

C: They just like to annoy other players

D: They are kids

 

or

 

E: All of the above

 

[SuperJude™]

People troll either for the reactions or for general mayhem.

 

Ultimately it's just a form of entertainment, no more no less.

 

Some people spend countless hours arguing their political viewpoints on Facebook.

 

Others blow up that Cargo Truck right before the drop off because F*** THE WORLD!

Was waiting for the last guy to get in the boat before heading to the aircraft carrier and before he jumps in he throws a sticky on us and detonates, killing himself but leaving us and the boat unaffected.

 

I left him at the beach and we got on with the raid on our own

[AllanSK8]

Some people have a reason to troll, yesterday, joined a humain lab final heist, crew leader gave me %5 cut and he took 65% so just as we started I left, greedy wanker

[CrazyRay]

Why do some players like to rush into missions/heists Rambo-style, die like f*cking morons, and ruin everyone's fun?

[InactiveNew]

Heists are just glorified missions anyway and this comes from a man who has his cant touch this award. Heists are meant to be played with friends/crew members who all USE MICS to communicate. Anyone who sets up a Heist or joins one with the intention just to have fun without a mic id chip on up the road no questions asked. Idiots!

Well if they are trolling just for the "fun of it", they are suffering from some kind of mental and/or social disability (depression, loneliness, narcissism, trauma from bullying etc), it might even be the cause of peer pressure (for the urge to constantly satisfy the hopes of your peers speaks for low self esteem, these people strive on recognition and attention)...

 

No stable person would get satisfaction for causing grief or aggravation on other people. There's always something broken behind this kind of behavior (even though most trölls would deny it, to keep their guard up).

 

It's easy to get people to hate you, anyone can do that. It's alot harder to get people to like you, and this is where most of them have failed. Thus...

[God-eater]

They do it because they can and no one can stop them or do much about it. Their goal is to fill you with impotent rage.

 

There is only one response: disregard them utterly. Just boot them or leave yourself, without ceremony or comment.

 

If you don't feed a troll, it starves to death quickly.

[JC Hammer]

You've heard of Generation X? Y? well this current one in is Generation Troll!

 

It's the favorite activity of most players, from driving backwards in races, blowing up the objectives in missions, going Rambo in Survivals and now trolling heists, these kids have no concept of cooperation, its all about them!

 

a more narcissistic generation has never existed....

[GTAGlasgowStories2]

It makes them feel big and strong when in reality they are weak and fragile.

[Non Fiction]

The funny thing is its almost impossible to troll me now cuz I can see it coming a mile away...if you wait longer than 1 minute to ready up, ur getting kicked, standing around for more than 1 minute ur getting kicked, hell I even kick people now with troll type gamer tags or troll type crews such as; gamertag666 or crew name "trol". And like someone else said even if they do get a troll attempt off I just leave without saying 1 word to them.

sounds like high school

[Sky_Light12]

~ trolling satisfaction

~ heist leader being greedy or at least the cut is below than 15%

~ at least a reckless member ( rambo outside a cover , alarm tripping , jumping to " zones full of enemies " alone , etc )

~ at least a member hate speech

~ a member trying to " troll " me in any way ( pitting me , exposing me from cover , etc )

~ " internet tough guy " , very boastful player or even a player who threaten me

~ a member ignore their role / my order ( only if i was a heist leader )

[Chloroform]

Simple answer, people are assholes.

[Grand Theft Amanda]

I'm a wild card, gimme what I worth and won't play like an idiot and I will help you.

Otherwise, have fun playing with another troll.

[Chloroform]

Oh christ high and mighty is here, time to leave this thread.

[rondut8728]

Because they are lowlife a-holes, that's why.

[Chamber53DV]

Because it's primitive. A large majority of humans like to do what's easy, effortless...nothings easier then to act like a neanderthal, lol.

In the case of GTAF, it's because the Moderators allow it. Reddit did it right.
