How rockstar is (cleverly) scamming us

[Doof_Warrior]

i love how this thread is pinned between the 2x VIP work $ and the car discount thread.

 

.....wait, sh*t.

[specterkev]

I fail to see the scam in this?

 

 

you know how damned boring the game would be if they gave us millions upon millions when we completed heists? yay! I owned everything? ...... hmmm what now? oh this game is boring now wah waah waaaaah

[We Are Ninja]

 

as the ill gotten gains part 2 approaches we all need to be wary that the prices are gonna be beyond expensive because rockstar will just feed us some "special luxury item bs"

In other words, "If I can't afford it, it's bullsh*t because I want it now."

 

In a nutshell.

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

Oh and because the heists includes robing a big bank with only 1million, cheap cash 😒

Yeah cuz over a million in 20s is like carrying a roll of toilet paper, right? Ha! 1.25 million in 20s is roughly 150lbs. Even split between 2 guys, that's still carrying 75lbs of cash in a bag, around your neck, while running, with a gun and taking bullets. To only get to a motorcycle for transpo. Like that would be so easily accomplishable irl. They have to keep sum realism, I know it's GTA, but still, 1 or 2 guys taking upwards of 5 million in 20s is more weight than most of you realize.

 

Yeah, I know, but we can carry infinite amount of cash in our characters "pocket". But that's beside the point.

[Nah nah nah Gta 6]

If you want something in this game, you work for it, if everything in this game was easy to get, nobody will play it after they've had fun with their new toys...

[poland stronk]

If you want something in this game, you work for it, if everything in this game was easy to get, nobody will play it after they've had fun with their new toys...

 

They would play if this game had better design.

 

But there is no competetive play neither any dynamic missions that each time play different due to random factors changed.

 

So Rockstar went with the most lazy way and that is to give sh*t pay for boring jobs and lots of stuff that you would have to grind for months.

 

This is a game not a full-time job. If you have to pay even more money to play (because it isn't free to play, you need to buy GTA V to play Online) then you are clearly playing wrong game.

 

It is even more laughable when you know there is MTA:SA and SA-MP, both which have no problem and people still play old game after 10 years since it's release and still have fun without spending any real money.

 

Rockstar has screwed up, there is no doubt in that unless you are blind fanboy.

Yes, I agree that things shouldn't be too easy, but it shouldn't take 80 hours of grinding or $130 usd real life money to buy one item in the game (yacht). That is insane. Most people don't have 80 hours to waste on one item in a game when they have real life goals they want to take care of. The game itself only costs $60, how is it justifiable to charge over twice that for one item?

 

Without all that glitched cash I'll bet many of you would change your tune pretty quickly concerning the in game prices. I know the glitched cash has made this game much more enjoyable for me.

I never used glitched cash, found it stupid to risk getting account banned.

Would rather spend hours grinding than losing everything later on for using glitched money.

The prices are fine.

This week I anticipate making sh*t tons of money doing VIP work in this game whose developer deliberatley hamstrings the earning potential of players and whose every design decision is a Machiavellian ploy to leave us no choice but to microtransact or die.

I don't measure how much money I make an hour because I play to have fun and have plenty of cash already. I was going by what someone said earlier in the thread. They said they make about $100,000 an hour playing. That seemed like a fair estimate for what an average player makes to me, or at least good enough for some quick math (and of course that doesn't represent payouts for special events because they are a limited time only, your example is irrelevant).

 

$100,000 x 80 hours = $8 million = 1 yacht

 

Make sense now? 80 hours for the average player. (Of course if anyone has any solid stats for what the average player might make an hour we can adjust the math. I'd guess this figure isn't too far off.)

 

So, yes, one would have to play the game 80 hours, or pay over 2x the actual cost of the entire game in shark cards to afford this one item in the game. How can anyone think this is fair pricing? I can pay $50 for all of the dlc for a game like Battlefront, and that even seems a little high, but that's still far more reasonable than GTAO. A yacht, one single item, would cost over twice the cost of the entire game. It's ridiculous to anyone but the most dedicated of apologist fanboys.

 

Also, since this nuanced fact seems to escape many of you, I'll state the obvious: it's possible to criticize an aspect of the game while still being a big fan and enjoying the game. If it bothers you that much maybe you should consider having a thicker skin about what people say about your favorite video game.

[Striker258]

 

but it feels like the bank hardly gives cash and it doesn't even feel like robbing a bank and missions give peasant money... , and no I won't use shark cards, they're a ripoff ( just saying)

set long term goals and play the game!

This theory was crushed, smashed, seriously disproven during the Billionaire Days. People had the money to purchase what they wanted, try everything out, and played just for fun not this bizarre and fake "economy" that so many have come to accept as normal.

 

Honestly, I play for fun. I ground for money as long as I was having fun with it. I loved Coveted and mastered Rooftop Rumble. I refuse to spend my time grinding for something "I want" because they designed a flawed in game economy.

 

If we were all Billionaires this game would be infinitely more enjoyable and that's fact.

[Fidzy]

I'm not being scammed. I bought the game for $60 and haven't spent a penny more.

 

 

 

 

Do contact missions. You can get $100k an hour at LEAST.

 

Oh yeah, a full 10 hours for a mil. Not everyone enjoys wasting their time to buy stuff you can only get online, bring everything to story and leave me be.

No actually its funny to me...

 

I was confused I thought grinding meant making as much money as possible....but you are talking about just playing the game while making money I guess. While using someone elses model...

 

Maybe YOU should try setting a goal sometime for YOURSELF and see how long it actually takes YOU before you criticize something YOU havent even tried. Considering you glitch that probably wont happen. Unfair? Perhaps, so what would you suggest the price of everything should be? Or the Yacht?

Couldn't disagree more. I was there and the Billionaire Days were indeed fun but I'd have gotten bored and moved on a long time ago if things had stayed that way.

 

Playing with restraint and restrictions, working toward goals has been a lot more fun and compelling for me over the long run. And I'm not some 24/7 grinder, I spend the majority of my time in Free Roam enjoying my toys with no particular objective.

 

Not saying I'm right or your wrong but the assertion that Billionaire Era GTAO was a definitively superior version of the game is simply untrue.

Hell no, GTA Online would not last 2 years if everyone was a billionare...People would still play it, but nowhere near as much.

 

As being someone who glitched a sh*t ton of money during the PS3 days, I started to play the game less as I had everything, there was nothing to work towards, I had everything, I used them, but what was the point if I had no goals?

 

I eventually became poor, and I started to play it way more often, also my game either glitched or intentionally took away all of the Pegasus vehicles I bought with my billions.

 

You don't continue to play a game as much once you've gotten 100%, and I mean 100% as you've done literally everything and the game has no more to offer. Sure you might still play it occasionally, but nowhere near as much.

 

Also to the people who think theres too much grinding to be done, it's not the grinding, it's your lack of interest and determination to reach your goals, nothing wrong with that, but blaming the amount of grind time isn't the games fault if a lot of people are ok with it.

No, this is pretty much a stupid assumption. I`m not even close to a billionaire, don't care about the virtual money at all, since I have enough for the next 4-5 updates (this is when they stop to drop anyway) and there is nothing enjoyable in this game money can buy. However, there are a lot of great things in this game a rank 1 with zero cash in the bank can enjoy.

I mean I hate it when companies nickel and dime you for their earnings, but that's the nature of business.

 

That said, I don't feel I'm getting scammed. You want a scam? College textbooks.

If you want something in this game, you work for it, if everything in this game was easy to get, nobody will play it after they've had fun with their new toys...

This theory was crushed, smashed, seriously disproven during the Billionaire Days. People had the money to purchase what they wanted, try everything out, and played just for fun not this bizarre and fake "economy" that so many have come to accept as normal.

 

Honestly, I play for fun. I ground for money as long as I was having fun with it. I loved Coveted and mastered Rooftop Rumble. I refuse to spend my time grinding for something "I want" because they designed a flawed in game economy.

 

If we were all Billionaires this game would be infinitely more enjoyable and that's fact.

Ahahahaha 😂 "fact"? Do you even know what a fact is? Because your post right here ^, you're confusing "my over inflated opinion" with that word you've come to ignorantly use in it's place.

They do what to us ? Are you sure that making money isn't essential for a company to subsist and to continue to create content ?

 

Put on your aluminum hat boys, it's conspiration time !

This is funny, and very true. My aunt went bankrupt putting her 2 daughters through college. Rockstar are saints compared to the price gouging a college performs. Talk about nickle/diming too death? lol GTA is A GAME. At least if you spend real money, it is by choice.
