Nick930930 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone, I noticed some mild interest in playing in servers without the risk of having modders or cheaters ruin all the fun and would like to help unite the community that I know is still out there that want a legitimate and fair GTAOnline experience. No modders shooting money bags in your face, no carpet bombing servers, no speed hacks, aim hacks, or whales falling from the sky... Just fun, classic, GTAOnline the way it's meant to be played. If you're interested, go ahead and apply to join our crew "Simple Happy Gamers." We're a small community of friendly American/Canadian folk who are all about just playing the game and enjoying ourselves. No overly competitive hotheads, no immature over the top swearing and insulting. Just gaming. I know you all hate seeing dumb recruitment ads because I personally can't stand them, but our group offers something I'm sure a lot of you users that I talk to every day crave; a clean GTAOnline experience. Requirements: -NORTH AMERICAN (to avoid bad lag/connection and ruining the experience for others), this includes Canada + Mexico -Absolutely ZERO MODS in GTAV (including single player, sorry folks, not risking it) -NO HACKED MONEY/RP, legitimate and fair players only -NO TROLLING, only kill players in freeroam if they have a bounty or if it's an appropriate circumstance. Not just needlessly spawn killing and being annoying. -NO BOOSTING. Again, only legit players. Boosting is frowned upon in our community. Every user in our group has earned their stuff fair and square. All players that apply will be analyzed to ensure they are fair players. Any players suspected of ever cheating in any way will not be allowed in. Any players found cheating in our private lobbies will immediately be banned and reported to Rockstar. We only report if we have 100% evidence that the player is cheating. We won't kick/report talented players. If you're a simple, happy, gamer and want to play with legit players and have a good experience, apply to our crew and hop on in. We play every night and generally always have at least 6 people on average (we've had upwards of 12 at a time in the past), but would love to expand and get some bigger races and death matches going. http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/simple_happy_gamers Edited August 12, 2015 by Nick930930 lpgunit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick930930 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I don't think I made myself clear based on the few requests I've received... NORTH.. AMERICAN.. ONLY. This is to prevent the servers from turning into a laggy mess. We had an individual from Europe once and it was terrible with lag. Cars just popping in and out everywhere.

z06z33 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I don't get why people hate getting free money so much? I don't feel like grinding the same heists over and over again for a small payout since half the time a player leaves in a heist. I haven't met one of these money shooters yet but if I did I wouldn't complain. Considering I've already given Rockstar $150 for sharkcards and the money from buying the game twice PS3&PC they have made plenty of money from me.

Nick930930 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Getting free money ruins the point of the game. There's no value in a 2.2 million dollar car if you just have 50 million to spare that you didn't even earn. It's much more fun earning your way up to the cool cars and showing off to your friends the cool customizations you earned from winning races, and earning money. Otherwisr.. your stuck in a server with kids driving around in Chrome insurgents and shooting anything and everything and then complaining that there's nothing to do. Our group isn't interested in cheaters and never has been. If you want a clean and fun experience, you're welcome to join. But any signs of foul play and you're out in an instant.

We play every night and all enjoy just playing races/deathmatches/missions/heists etc. How do you want to check if players get their money the legal way? No mods, not even singleplayer? haha If you don't like the rules, then that's fine. You can continue to enjoy your public freeroam sessions. Not only that, but you're from Europe.. sooo.. you wouldn't be accepted anyway. Only North Americans to avoid any poor connection/lag issues.

Only allowing North Americans into the crew is not a matter of disliking a race (or 6 continents in this case). It's a matter of keeping the servers running with as little ping as possible. Last thing we need with a game that stutters all over is more internet based lag. That;'s great that you think you don't get lag, but the truth is, this game lags for even people within America itself. Update 1.28 really screwed up the game and there's all kinds of lag including false starts during races. The greater the distance, the more likely there's going to be desync between players. We generally try and get users who are located in a central position to provide hosting for the night.

Linerax Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hmm, I'll think about this clan after I complete the story. Some questions. 1. How many people are in the crew? 2. What's the standard communication? In game chat, TeamSpeak, Skype, etc.? 3. Is there an age limit? 4. What if I or someone else in the crew needs help with a heist or another activity? In other words, is the crew active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trash_Ok Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm sorry but there has been tons of these type of crews with the wish for an amazing experience and it has never worked out.. Either it was flooded with cheaters and kids who ignored the rules or the crew was just inactive.. You have no control whatsoever to see if a person is legit to join or not, or if they start legit and eventually hack the sh*t out of the servers.. And I know you're trying to avoid lag but America only wow that's just pure ignorance, I have a couple of friends from all around the world and there is no lag when we play together on a private session. I'm sorry if I sound negative but you can't stop the chaos and cheaters online by creating a crew you think can change it DentureDynamite and MythAlex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if I sound negative but you can't stop the chaos and cheaters online by creating a crew you think can change it Stats are available via social club for checking to see if someone might be a cheater. Sure it's not a perfect method, but it's good enough. I really don't care if you think it's ignorant. The game lags enough just playing between coasts in North America, last thing we need are more false starts in races because someone in India has a bad connection to us. And our crew is very active. We play every night. If you're not interested, fine, move along. Otherwise you're just wasting yours and our time posting. Hmm, I'll think about this clan after I complete the story. Some questions. 1. How many people are in the crew? 2. What's the standard communication? In game chat, TeamSpeak, Skype, etc.? 3. Is there an age limit? 4. What if I or someone else in the crew needs help with a heist or another activity? In other words, is the crew active? Currently 15. We prefer you be at least 18 or older. All users are adults currently. As long as you act mature though it shouldn't really matter. Members from the crew play every night. We generally have at least 4 players on, and if we have more than 4, we all play races, deathmatches, and various other game modes. It's all about just enjoying what the game has to offer. No cheating, no complaining, just enjoying it. Edited August 12, 2015 by Nick930930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick930930 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Have you, OP, kicked someone out of the group yet? Nope, haven't gotten many people joining. There are crews recruiting all over the place so I'm sure this thread just looks like another recruitment thread. Since making this thread, we've gotten maybe 6 requests to join, only 4 of them fit the criteria (open profile, north american etc) But honestly, it's just an offering. We have a fun group of friends that have been playing together for years in games like Battlefield and wouldn't mind more people joining in on the fun so we get some bigger races going. We played tonight and had 7 of our own guys playing in a public race against random people. Edited August 13, 2015 by Nick930930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very common issue online. Modders can carpet bomb the server and associate the kills with another player. Rockstar has even mistakenly banned the wrong people because of this issue. Another reason why I'm giving the big middle finger to public freeroam sessions. It's beyond broken and private lobbies are the only way to go.

BlaringFiddle Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) 1st, I'd like to say don't get discouraged by the people commenting in a negative way here. I'm sure many of us are interested. I know I will be applying (USA: Ohio) 2nd, I'd like some clarification on this rule: -NO BOOSTING. Again, only legit players. Boosting is frowned upon in our community. Every user in our group has earned their stuff fair and square. as I am not sure I understand what is meant by that... At first I thought it meant no car stealing ... then I thought it might mean some form of helping lower level players? Can you elaborate? EDIT: DOH! Just noticed this post was from August I too would like to know if this is still an active community... EDIT 2: Well anyway - I went ahead and sent a request to join Edited December 20, 2015 by BlaringFiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
