How much money do shark cards make per day?

I must have the only working copy of gta online because I don't experience game breaking issues or horrendous lag. And honestly you don't need to buy cash cards, if you play well enough you get 10,000,000 for completing elite challenges in heist... That's way more than enough money to buy everything your little entitled hearts desire.

If you spend the equivalent of another full copy of GTA V ($60) in shark cards you should be able to buy whatever the f*ck you want in GTAO for free.

Yet again R* can do no wrong because some addicted morons want to put their fingers in their ears and shun away any criticism of their beloved game. You guys are no better than these console warriors or those PC master race idiots. I am sure this FTP way of doing business can't be bettered right? I don't know about you, but I already paid for this game. Saying these cash cards don't affect the game is bull. We shouldn't be bored to tears grinding missions to get these new 'tease' items, money should come normally so we can actually have fun. The game is built around making things unnecessarily longer, as to make you buy these cash cards because progression is so slow. Believe it or not, most people don't sit on this game all day and actually have to play in bursts to progress.

 

Also, FYI they would not sell the DLC separately anyway. It would cut up the community and people would lose interest faster, so that excuse doesn't float. Oh and you can't ignore money in a game where a race is pretty much impossible to win without a 700k - 2M car, (90% of races are supers) or the fact that to complete some missions faster you need a 1.75M chopper at least. You need a crap load of money to buy guns and ammo too, a main staple of the game that is more expensive than single player just 'cause. I can give more examples like overpriced clothes, but you already know deep down why these things are that expensive.

 

I don't hate the game, it's just that I am not closing my eyes on the obvious flaws that bring the experience down. Why do I keep seeing people say the simplicity of IV was better (and was more fun)? The answer is because it wasn't built around milking players for money, it was a normal multiplayer experience.

You probably play in invite only? I have issues all the time on Xbox one. 25 mbps up and down, dmz settings, docsis 3.0 arris modem, and a high end router, clearly its not on my end ;)

 

Lobbies crash all the time (public ones) and that's a fact. Lag is an issue in public lobbies, that's a fact. So yeah you and a "select few" play on this flawless magical server the rest of us clearly can't find.

You can tell them that 'til you're blue in the face...they don't care. They refuse to accept that, for whatever reason, some people just have a sh*t time with this game while others have relatively smooth and painless experiences. And, what's funnier, they refuse to believe that most players aren't having the myriad of problems that seem to plague them. Luckily, they're quite vocal, so they're easy to identify and subsequently ignore. Let them bitch...you, me and the majority of players will be fine without them.

 

None of this has anything to do with OT though.

But you're buying the same item while getting the same item free. (talking about your biscuits) This is so off topic now and is getting more and more pointless. Point is you can't play gtao without a gta5 disc. If anyone thinks that's free, that's their problem.

 

This can also be turned around you know? You guys bought gtao and got a very very expensive free gta5 game for free ;) This sh*t is just too funny with some of you.

so what if it's the same item? tablet with a free case satisfy your 'it has to be different' criteria?

is 'free delivery' a con too? you have to buy an item to get the free delivery!

 

it's only a problem if you're a pedant. or feel like a 'victim' for volunteering your money freely.

free items to incentivise a sale of something else isn't some mythical thing.......... whether you agree or not.

 

and you can't turn it round just like that, you don't decide what a company decides to sell, unless you work for that company in that capacity. and you don't.

 

you can buy V and go online, or never go online and can still play V.

you don't pay any more for online. both options are the same price.

 

 

I think there has to be some rockstar employees in this thread;p

they probably come to laugh at the fools who 'gave' them money freely, under no duress whatsoever........ despite their 'scam' business practices.

So some of you can say gta5 is a paid game and you get gtao for "free" but if I say gtao is the paid game and gta5 is free, I'm wrong? Maybe I bought gta5 for online only?

 

That's the problem with some of you, its your way or no way. Logical thinking tells me its a gta5 game with online. You paid for both, you can't access gtao for free. Why is this so hard for people to understand? And this isn't me being a dick and not understanding. I said my part and I'm done.

its not up to either of us, i'm not just saying it, R* did,

R* made it. they sell their products as they advertised, buy V and get online free, whether you personally bought it only for online is only pertinent to you.

and i sometimes buy things just for a particular aspect of it, i'm still being sold the whole product though, because that is what THEY are selling.

The point is that a full priced game shouldn't have microtransactions. I don't care what the stupid developer excuse for including it is, it's no substitute for good game design choices. The design of GTA Online would be better without Shark Cards because everything is designed around it. Why do you think it has RPG grind mechanics? It's to hook people and try to get them that involved, they think about buying cash to get X cool item. Rockstar have become a victim of the many parodies in their own game. I mean, they patch money glitches within 24hr, but other bugs can be swept under a very large rug and forgotten. That should say everything.

At the very least acknowledge the fact that R* consciously make items in GTAO especially expensive and limit the amount of money you can earn per hour.

 

Their incentive for doing this is to nudge us toward buying shark cards.

 

It's just good business for them.

Assuming the game wouldn't be balanced similar to the way it is now if shark cards weren't a thing. Hello there, mister assumption, nice to see you again.

 

The game has rpg mechanics because they promote longevity. It's no sh*t. People will keep playing more and want to play more having goals to strive for and reach. Having no goal and nothing to strive for or earn just leaves people bored after a short period of time because there's not a lot of goal to go for. Why do you think games like COD have prestige even though there's no economy? Even RDR used a system like that to attempt to promote longevity and that one was horribly lacking in goal by comparison to this. Like it or not, that's the way it is and likely would be without shark cards because of just how strongly it promotes a longer life for people. Most games do things like this this at this point for a reason whether you like it or not.

I think a nudge is at least an appropriate way to put it. People here tend to make it out like they're forcing it down your throat and that it's necessary or you spend an unreal amount of time trying to grind. Only a slow earning speed still puts you at hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour, which is cool, still good. They did limit people from grinding missions but at the same time they made underplayed sh*tty and harder missions better because they tend to take longer and now they pay more so it mostly evened out the pay scale rather than just leaving people to grind a 3 minute mission for 20k every 3 minutes which they never intended and is all it devolved to as far as money earning.

 

They do need to bump up pay for activities outside of missions and heists to make them worthwhile though. It's not like it's perfect but it's hardly as evil and awful as some would have you believe.

As I said I don't hate the game, but it plays more like a FTP title such as Warframe than a retail game. It does not hook everyone - in fact it turns me off after a while - which is a bigger problem. I loved Red Dead to bits, but the online was super boring in freeroam, even worse actually than this game. I just want Rockstar to make better MP choices than going with all the horrid trends and not learning from the past. The Last of Us is a good example of great MP ruined by microtransactions. As I have also said before, they could TRY and make money another way. Team Fortress 2 is fine with me as it is FTP with optional hats and stuff. This does not play with their internal design choices like having buy-able virtual cash clearly does for these games. GTA Online is not free at all. If it was standalone FT2 and had anything other than purchasable cash, I would not be complaining about it. It is not though and if you are not interested in making bank or freeroam, it has virtually nothing to offer. The MP modes are hardly Red Dad or Max Pain quality.

TF2 was a 20$ game that had those hats and sh*t in it before it went f2p. So yeah. It's not all sunshine and roses like you seem to think about it.

 

It's not going to hook everyone anyway because not everything will. Thinking it will or should is f*cking stupid. You're still assuming that the game is designed around shark cards and that shark cards aren't just a rather convenient means to an end, rather you think it's rather central to the design of it, which you have no proof or evidence of at all actually.

 

Maybe it wasn't designed for people who don't want to make bank or free roam. Did you ever think of that? Each game is designed to have an experience in mind for its target audience. It's not going to and never will appeal to everyone and there's no reason to even suggest it should or will. It obviously has a massive appeal the way it is whether you like it or not.

 

Hell, they have racing and a number of activities that aren't related to making bank or free roam that people can enjoy. You're just ignoring half of what the game offers and saying "well if you don't like money or free roam it offers nothing" pretty much. Online has far more potential than MP or RDR lol. The game isn't meant to be the best shooter or the best racer but it does a really good job of doing as much as it does to the point it's not just a bunch of mediocre stuff trying to make up for it with buffet mentality of just giving you so much you can't really argue with it.

That is ludicrously inefficient and unpleasant considering you are playing as a means to an end at that point instead of for fun. It takes about 15 hours dedicated to grinding at maximum efficiency to earn the T20. Edited by Eggobites90

You can complete pacific standard in under an hour. That's around 350k or better for everyone. You were saying about maximum efficiency?

 

You're also saying that taking 10 hours or so to earn one of the top and most expensive things in the game is absurd. How is that even a problem if you're spending a lot of time in the game? Oh no, the most expensive and top sh*t in the game that you don't need takes a while to earn! How dare they!

The freeroam money sink is something players do to themselves, not R*. If you saw their trailers,freeroam was meant to be a hub area for people to interact/change clothes/gear up in. It was the players who turned it into a cheapshot-kills-first lobby with people constantly trying to 1-up each other no matter the price. If you're spending drastic amounts of money in freeroam, it's because you choose to do so, not because that's how R* envisioned it so they could "milk you dry" (which is ironic since pretty much every griefer/troll has never bought a card).

Plenty of people get by in freeroam without spending a dime. It's called 'not being an asshole'.

 

if R* really wanted us to be friends, hug eachother and simply hang around looking at the sky, THEY WOULDNT ALLOW GUNS IN FREEROAM!!!

 

they wont allow tanks, jets and attack helicopters in freeroam, there would be no need to car insurances!

 

open lobby freeroam plays out exactly as intented by them, hence why theres no such thing as "friendly" lobbies like in IV.

Or how about we say, the game has a lot of possibilities, and we could be all friendly with friends and use those jets on enemies and stuff? no one gets hurt that way :)

The game isn't pay to win ? Really so I assume then that the Homing Launcher is free, As so is the Hydra and Valkrie and Armoured Kuruma, No its not pay to win at all now is it, It's pretty obvious that it actually is, You wanna stand a chance in a freeroam session then you have to pay for it, The new insurance premiums alone prove this.

Win in freeroam?

 

I thought pay to win had to do with gameplay enhancements not just stuff.

 

For example, Kitchen Scramble has gold pots, pans, ovens etc. that you have to buy with their currency to have your food cook faster. Some levels are impossible to pass without this feature.

 

There is nothing to win in freeroam as it is an open environment. If you choose to engage in battle...there is nothing that you win outside of weapon tints and bragging rights. But it really isn't hindering you in anyway unlike the above example I posted.

THIIIIIS. You can play this game and have limitless success without spending a single dime. You can have access to every single item/mode/etc (with the exception of the limited-time stuff that was also free) without spending a penny more than the $64.94 you paid for the game. If cash cards were required to progress or to be successful in the game, then all the entitlement kiddies would have a valid argument. As it stands, people are just upset that R*'s new luxury price tags are standing in the way of the instant gratification they've become accustomed to buy asking that they put forth a little effort.

 

Never change, GTAF...

Yep you are one of those people whom twist words and gloss things over. The f word in everyone of your posts is the icing. I remember when I was like that until I got rid of my anger and started to listen to other people even if I did not agree. The old 'I am right 'cause no evidence' is hilarious too because I could say the same - it's an opinion you don't obviously respect yet again. You are right, Rockstar's target audience is people like you. They know their audience and they know you will lap their poor fetch quests up (that is a example don't twist it to mean everything) and awful 'stuff' packs. As I already put, racing needs at least a 725k car to compete in all the super races everyone plays. It is a bunch of mediocrity though, yet I still enjoy a lot of it. You think I am expecting the second coming? AGAIN I don't hate the game, please listen to my words? Why are you trying to incite a argument when I am not. I hear your points and respect them from your point of view. Do the same back.

If you've been playing since the game came out (or really, for more than 6 months or so), you should easily have a bunch of disposable income unless you like to waste all your cash all the time. The only ones that these huge price tags should be hurting are new players and they should have to earn these items just like the rest of us. If not, there's always option 2...

I'm giving a logical reason as to why the game could very well be balanced similarly if not the same. All you're doing is hurr durr sherk kerds and assuming that things would change if they weren't there. You've given absolutely no reason why they would change other than shark cards and what you think would happen while I've actually listed reason for it.

 

And suggesting you need any specific car to compete with others haha. If you have problems competing then play f*cking no customs races. They give you all the damn tools to be successful in just about everything in this game and it's only your fault if you don't use them. People flat out suck at racing in this game and I've beaten countless people in modded zentornos with a stock bullet so don't tell me this sh*t about needing a specific car to compete anyway. If they're remotely decent then maybe but you can still take advantage of rules that give you an even footing, but let's just boohoo about that instead.

 

That's all there is to it. You don't need a zentorno to compete with people. For that 725k you get a stock one which you can already choose in races anyway. And even if others are in modded ones you can just host and do customs off, it's quite simple really. I have garages full of supers in this game and that's not even playing that hardcore. Just one character has the osiris and the t20 and the entity and the infernus and the vacca and two armored kurumas and an insurgent and a tank and a luxor deluxe. The other has plenty of supers as well and both have three 10 car apartments. All this without playing hardcore. To suggest that the balance would shift drastically just because of shark cards is absurd.

Seems that people forget Rockstar is a business. If you don't like the way they do things; stop supporting their products - it's that simple.

 

The same pricks that moan about Shark Cards are the same pricks that will be first in line to pick up GTA VI.

 

I've never bought a Shark Card and don't intend to, but I don't sit and moan about it.

 

To me it seems like jealously amongst the community. People don't like the fact that someone can have 10 million at the click of a button through buying SC's. It's almost like cheating to them... Just like those who glitch, or mod millions - it's cheating.

 

Those who grind missions for hours and hours for minimal gain clearly envy those who can afford to buy a SC. Some people actually have a job or education classes to attend, therefor cannot sit on GTA all day to make virtual money.

Seems that people forget Rockstar is a business. If you don't like the way they do things; stop supporting their products - it's that simple.

This thread isn't about that, please take it elsewhere.

 

It's about rockstar and asking how much money they make.

YOU AREN'T SUPPOSE TO BE MAKING OVER $1M IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME! Why can't people see this?

 

"WAHHHH I can't get the Golden Luxor right now WAHHHH" Just work and wait, pay with either your time or money.

Why do you people have to try and demean others by throwing insults like wahh, whine, entitled etc around?

 

Who cares about the gold Luxor it's just ridiculous...it's less than half my money tbh.

 

Anyway...this thread isn't a shark card debate but talking about rockstars profit from them...kindly take your insults elsewhere.

The point is that a full priced game shouldn't have microtransactions. I don't care what the stupid developer excuse for including it is, it's no substitute for good game design choices. The design of GTA Online would be better without Shark Cards because everything is designed around it. Why do you think it has RPG grind mechanics? It's to hook people and try to get them that involved, they think about buying cash to get X cool item. Rockstar have become a victim of the many parodies in their own game. I mean, they patch money glitches within 24hr, but other bugs can be swept under a very large rug and forgotten. That should say everything.

 

 

TF2 was a 20$ game that had those hats and sh*t in it before it went f2p. So yeah. It's not all sunshine and roses like you seem to think about it.

 

It's not going to hook everyone anyway because not everything will. Thinking it will or should is f*cking stupid. You're still assuming that the game is designed around shark cards and that shark cards aren't just a rather convenient means to an end, rather you think it's rather central to the design of it, which you have no proof or evidence of at all actually.

 

Maybe it wasn't designed for people who don't want to make bank or free roam. Did you ever think of that? Each game is designed to have an experience in mind for its target audience. It's not going to and never will appeal to everyone and there's no reason to even suggest it should or will. It obviously has a massive appeal the way it is whether you like it or not.

 

Hell, they have racing and a number of activities that aren't related to making bank or free roam that people can enjoy. You're just ignoring half of what the game offers and saying "well if you don't like money or free roam it offers nothing" pretty much. Online has far more potential than MP or RDR lol. The game isn't meant to be the best shooter or the best racer but it does a really good job of doing as much as it does to the point it's not just a bunch of mediocre stuff trying to make up for it with buffet mentality of just giving you so much you can't really argue with it.

 

Yep you are one of those people whom twist words and gloss things over. The f word in everyone of your posts is the icing. I remember when I was like that until I got rid of my anger and started to listen to other people even if I did not agree.

you didn't get rid of it, just redirected it toward a company that makes a game you don't have to buy or play.

The old 'I am right 'cause no evidence' is hilarious too because I could say the same - it's an opinion you don't obviously respect yet again.

You are right, Rockstar's target audience is people like you. They know their audience and they know you will lap their poor fetch quests up (that is a example don't twist it to mean everything) and awful 'stuff' packs.

As I already put, racing needs at least a 725k car to compete in all the super races everyone plays. It is a bunch of mediocrity though, yet I still enjoy a lot of it.

You think I am expecting the second coming? AGAIN I don't hate the game,

it certainly seems like you do hate it, 'mediocre', 'poor fetch quests', 'awful stuff packs', 'shark cards' etc etc. what do you actually like about it?!

You don't seem to grasp what the thread is...it's not caring about them but asking how much revenue they get from them...if I cared the way you're describing I would ask how many people buy them.
