Glitchers: is that right to punish them by Rockstar

[tannedchoccyuk]

Hey,

Here is a question... somebody who is smart enough to find bugs in the game exploit them in order to make their own game more enjoyable... should they be punished?

I believe, that any bug in the game is the overpaid creator's fault, and the players just play the game as good as they can.. They should NOT be punished by banning them or take their glitched money away. I'm not a glitcher myself, but i think they do something better, and they DO deserve whatever they could manage to make for themself like money, rp...

What do you guys think about it? I know most of u hate them....

 

[BigStu4q]

I'm quite hypocritcal on this issue. If someone glitches themselves hundreds of millions of dollars then I don't like it, but someone who finds a glitch that lets them store a certain vehicle/outfit (etc) then I say: no harm, no foul

[UltimateAntic]

So if a player ruins a lobby with godmode glitch, he should not be punished?!

[tannedchoccyuk]

yeah, i think they should not be... whatever they can do in the lobby... i just respect the players who are better than me.. even if they kill me 10 times in roll...

[STEEZYR]

Things such as wallbreaches should not be punishable because nobody is altering the game, Its part of the land layout and the creators fault

[Warablo]

The game is called Grand Theft Auto. The glitchers shouldn't be punished, they should be patched. Some glitches I think they should keep though.

[Crunch McThornbody]

Oh here we go again.

 

Regarding glitches, their use and their patching, R* are quite illogical when it comes to this subject.

 

They patch non-game breaking glitches that don't give players an advantage over other players (gate launch glitch etc.) but leave ones along that allow players to unfairly grief other players (wall glitches).

Totally disagree, nothing more infuriating than some hipster jackass hiding in a wallbreach. Nothing makes me hit that report button faster than lighting. Have no time for people who can't get kills in GTA:O so they resort to the pussys way out

Theyre not doing it cause they cant get kills, theyre doing it for this exact reaction.

Its also not something you get banned for im afraid.

[tannedchoccyuk]

i know a building where i oftenly do wallglitch... because other players dont know about that building... ive accidently discovered myself... very funny to watch people trying to find and kill me when i bounty on my head.. should i be punished for that? hell no! ive found something cool... rockstar should find and fix them... but if they cant... let me play my game what ive purchased the way i wanna...

Last time I checked glitchers dont get banned, just modders. Can anyone confirm my theory?

Glitchers get ban if caught cheating, like changing the dns, to asking modders to give you money via text(recovery service is modding)

[JaegerPilot1]

The only time I have a problem with wall glitchers is when they use the wall glitch to either grief other players or to hide because they have a bounty.

 

As for the losers that use god mode mods, they only use them because they kept getting their asses handed to them when they played the game right.

[TreFacTor]

You can test glitches in private without repercussion and anyone that uses them in public should be repremanded

Wouldn't they just be cheaters and not glitchers? To me glitchers are the people that do wall breaches, god mode, launch glitches. Now that I think about it, I guess glitchers would get banned if caught (money glitchers) but I think that's as far as that would go, no?

[BlueSocks]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with punishing them if Rockstar chooses to because every single one of us agreed to their terms before coming online and one of those agreements says that we will not exploit or cheat.

[billiam]

so people who can use god mode or wall breaches are your better? whut?

I had an Xbox "friend" that was against god mode glitches, till one day he decided to do it himself. I've never done a god mode glitch, rather do a money glitch.

I'm not a glitcher myself...

 

 

Yeah right.

True but how the heck do they expect someone not to exploit their game if it's still got bugs and glitches and no method of punishing exploiters? Edited July 15, 2015 by Nick1020

I agree there's a sliding scale of "gray"

 

My cop outfit and my car that dares to have a pearlescent under a "metal" paint have neither benefited me unjustly, nor degraded another player's experience (jealousy doesn't count).

 

Using godmode or hiding behind a wall to kill players is a d*ck move.

 

Then there's the exploits that even Rockstar can fix but they don't consider cheating.

Remember the Dune Buggy that appreciated in value when you bought it then immediately sold it? That was Rockstar typing the wrong values in.

I boosted one of my character's rank using the Base Invaders trick: Rockstar intentionally created a mission with infinite enemies and allows a weapon with infinite ammunition. The fact that some of us realized that combining those equated to infinite RP made it a game's feature, not a cheat.

 

Boosting is another thing that most people accept (some even endorse) while a few players experience unacceptable torque in their undergarments. If a friend and I want to trade wins to unlock stuff, that's our business.

GTAO isn't YOUR game. You and everyone else bought V, and R* is nice enough to let you enjoy O, FOR FREE.

 

EVERY entitled glitcher/cheater/modder needs punishment.

I'm not trying to disagree with you but what about accidentally coming across one? Picture if you will (rockstar developer in the lobby) and here is Joe going about his business and they accidentally come across a money glitch or a god mode glitch.

 

Now the developer is spectating from their apartment and has the power to ban this said member, should they? I mean surely it was an accident but should the said player be punished? I know my example seems far fetched but it could happen.

 

Point is sh*t happens and I dont think the players should get punished if they didn't use anything put their character to do glitches. It gets patched, it gets patched. I disagree with god mode glitchers but I don't think they should be punished. If you're using outside software to aid you, yes you should.

How do you expect people to not break the law when it's so easy to do? Are you f*cking serious? You agreed to, it's not their fault if you go out of your way to exploit the game. It's not as if these glitches most people do are easily done accidentally, in which case you cannot fault people for doing it on accident. You have to intentionally set out to take advantage and reproduce them, and that right there is the problem. Anyone with a brain knows how the game is meant to be played and there is no excuse for it that takes the fault off the person doing it. The only reason people do it is because they think they won't get caught or most punishment is a slap on the wrist over anything else so it's almost risk free.

Accidental glitches are a different story. That's like accidentally finding yourself out of bounds in another game. Choosing to abuse it and take advantage of it is another matter and you have to intentionally go out of your way to reproduce practically 99% of the glitches on this game.

 

I remember when duping cars was as simple as starting a mission in a car or finishing in the car. sh*t like that is easily done on accident. You don't accidentally spawn 85 hooker cars or any of the sh*t you've seen in basically the past year.

i think glitchers should be awarded by rockstar to discover serious issues... not punished.. just like ethical hackers in real life... they get good money for discovering vulnerabilities...

[Slam_Jones]

Yeah, no, it's not the people who find the exploits and bugs that are the problem. It all depends on what you do with the knowledge.

 

It's the script kiddies who download mods just to f*ck with people and mod in a bunch of money. Those are the folks that should be punished.

Keep mods and glitches in single player.

It's certainly not your game when you're connected to a central server online and everything though. I think it just sort of reinforces that. What you do offline/in sp is your own business though, as has basically always been the case. It's once you come online that you need to stop doing sh*t basically.

LOL at FOR FREE. I guess that 60$ doesn't count then. Actually 70$ (CAD). As far as I know it's not possible to play GTA Online without buying the game so I don't quite see how it's free.

 

Oh but that's right, you are a gullible fanboy, nevermind then.
