Any lobby full of squeakers that got a PS4 this Christmas would witch-hunt me as some kind of "hacker" the second I spawned in because most people can't perceive beyond their own stupid perception.

 

 

I've had that a surprising number of times since Christmas, and I'm only rank 280 something.

 

While I appreciate you acknowledging I am not alone in this circumstance, I am now horrified at my own sentence: "most people can't perceive beyond their own stupid perception." What the f*ck was I typing?

I was trying to say something like "most people are too stupid to think outside their own perception of reality" but I just had lunch and am in a sort of carbo-coma right now.

I can't understand why someone hates shark cards so bad. They are a great way for some to get new.... stuff. Stuff that isn't anything that gives you an advantage, though. You can blow them cards on lowriders, you can blow them on hydra. If you are a real fool (sorry) you can buy a virtual yacht with them. But you won't be any better off if you do so.

They don't change game in any way. They just give you a shortcut to stuff that's fun, not things that would make you a levelbillionblackmagicwand-owning superwizardfighter. All of us can't play as much as we'd like, there are other hobbies, work, family, friends, you know, LIFE battling with time spent online.

The death fees..

The money it bleeds you for deaths and suicides.

suicides - yes - the first one is free - the rest cost money ... But what do you mean about deaths? Are you talking about if you don't drop your money at the ATM regularly? If you have $0 in your wallet, you don't drop money when you die... Even if you do have money in your wallet, you only drop max $500. You can go pick it back up if you want to as well (as long as no one else did). Not sure what you are on about

[VampirA]

the reason people complain about shark cards is that they see at a lazy way of earning in the game and they rather people grind for their money rather than say buying a shark card.i did buy one but that was because a)i wanted the roosevelt which was only in the game for such a short time and b)the price it was at meant that even if i did grind i dont think i would of even gotten close even though it was a event weekend at the time. also i was around when this game was good i,e grind for hours and get loads of money but then the DNS and modders entered the game and basically ruined it for those who was playing the game and getting money.i think there was one race i did which started near the beach and finished at one of the bridges but then one by one the missions got nerfed and they now pay not much even on the hard difficulty.

It sets a bad precedent. They made over a billion dollars because of that business model and other companies are going to look to them. The next thing you know it'll pay-to-play. Micro transactions are a plague started by casuals and their going to turn console gaming into the mobile game industry.

 

On top of that It's harder to make money online now because they realized how profitable it was that way, if you disagree then consult with anybody who's played San Andreas online and ask why they made such a change. We've all done it, just stop doing it.

 

Besides, it's kinda stupid to spend real money on fake money. When your parents stop paying for stuff you'll understand.

[canine sapien]

HOWEVER, this it the trade-off Rockstar provide us with, and I'm all in favour of it - give them your real life money and enable them to further develop and invest in GTA online, and in return they will allow you to bolster your GTA online character with as much cash as you desire.

 

I think this is an important point - I'm happy to give rockstar a few £££ every now and then if I just want an extra boost to get a new car or something. For the amount of time I've played the game X the amount of money I spent on the game, it's really good value, so I don't care if I spent £5 or something every couple of months.

 

I don't have the time to play the game every single night like some people on here, but I don't resent giving Rockstar a little cash for the convenience of getting some content I hadn't previously been able to access.

[Zarpy]

The pricing is what makes me hate it.

 

The idea itself of shark cards aren't so bad, you buy in game cash for real life cash and it helps people who don't have time to grind. The problem lies where the amount of real life money you pay for in game cash is just horrendous. 8 million dollars in game cash costs $100 in real life?

 

Really 8 million dollars in game should be AT MOST about $15, which i think is reasonable

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

Wait a minute. 100 bucks gets you 8000000? WHAT!!!? Are they serious?

Yeah, I agree with that. Like I said, £5 or whatever is just a nice little boost. It's £64 or something for 8mil, which is ridiculous.

ok - i'm lost - what hospital fees? I've paid hospital fee of $5000 in single player - but never seen such in Multiplayer

Because it has ruined the game. I really need to copy paste this response so i dont have to type it all the time but here goes...

 

The reason shark cards are bad is they inadvertently hurt all players. When GTA online launched shark cards were not available. During this period missions paid full price meaning you could play Rooftop Rumble as much as you wanted for 27k and could replay missions from the vote screen. Come November rockstar releases cash cards and in the same update removes the ability to replay missions from the vote screen as well as makes replays of mission half the payout. Coincidence? I think not.

 

People found that RR and Coveted were still big money makers so how did they change it? Ruined the missions with "tweaks" RR the enemies are harder you have to wait for the documents car to spawn and its made of tissue paper. Coveted now required you to wait for the cargobob for 2 and a half minutes before it landed when before it started landing after the first enemy went down. Then that was still too profitable so now they make you take it all the way to the city.

 

Now we have missions pay time based which harms those who systematically go through each mission quickly.

 

For those that say shark cards pay for DLC, Stop! GTAO updates ARE NOT DLC!!!! They are mandatory content updates same as any game. Dlc is a Halo map pack or story expansion like TBoGT.

 

People say shark cards are for those who work irl and dont have time to grind well glitching is for those who go to college or other school and dont make an income to spend. In essence shark cards are r* sanctioned cheating

They put it in multplayer too. They even tried to penalize people for killing passive players by charging the bills to them.

Seriously. Cash cards are RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP when you compare them to the time it takes to earn the equivelant amount in game. 8 million bucks is about 40 hours of grinding. (200-250k an hour seems to be what people say is a decent rate when grinding)

 

put it this way. if you spent weeks grinding the sh*t out of the game to build up an 8 million gta dollar bank account, would you then sell that 8million to another player for $15? would that be "reasonable"

That's a crap excuse. this is the instant gratification generation that must have everything NOW!. ruining gaming totally.

 

I work full time 40 hours a week plus overtime on a fairly regular basis, have other hobbies / games i like to play to play occassionally and sometimes i might only get my playstation on a couple of hours a week. that does not mean i expect everything handed to me instantly.

 

you could play an hour a day and be able to buy an 8 million yacht in 4-5 weeks (about 1 month) that's a very reasonable time frame.

really? How much am I paying when some random asshole kills me? I've never seen any indication of this anywhere in the interface before, nor have i noticed any drop in my money (other than cash in my wallet) when someone kills me repeatedly. The only time i've been charged when killing someone is when i blow up their car... is this a last gen feature or something that didn't make the jump to PC / PS4 / xbone? I'm genuinely curious and wondering how i never noticed this before if true...

Exactly, or if they're gonna offer a shark card for £64/$100 the in game cash should be like 100 million or something, basically enough to last the rest of the life of GTA Online. Not 8 million which can pretty much be blown after buying a yacht

[wiesenior]

Coz they already earned billions and DLC is the only way to keep ppl playing the bugged/haxx0r MP

All contents should be available for everyone, the richkid and the boy in the cow-poop hut

[dewtech]

People hate them because they expect Rockstar to give us everything based off £60 we payed for a game several months ago, forgetting that the upkeep of SC, Support and the Updates all cost money to make and police the game.

 

As a company they have to make money, and imo the Shark card is the best option for it. All others would create an unfair playing field.

Care to actually offer facts, or just prove you don't have an argument to actually offer?

[wiesenior]

The upkeep,budget,the employees and even the development of GTA VI was taken care of within a WEEK as GtaV is the best selling/grossing game ever. And i mean the incomes of only Last Gen. No PC,No Ps4,Xbone, no shark cards. So forget the 60€ stuff. Either you are employed by Rstar or have no sense of business, or u study it and u think u have a clue. No offens tho,but i don't like the idea of Shark Cards and ruining the fun,patching everything,selling a crap 10mill goolden heli etc. But the servers keep crashing ,weird

Bought one once. My debit card got charged twice for it. I contacted R* support and instead of refunding my money, they game me the GTA $ that I should have gotten had I intentionally bought 2 cards. I told them I didn't want the in-game currency, I wanted the charge I didn't approve of to be refunded. They refused to acknowledge and sent the GTA $ into my account anyway.

 

I contacted the BBB about the issue. Initially they were going to rule in R*s favor, based on the fact that they gave me the currency in the end. It was only after some back and forth, and sending them a copy of my correspondence with R* support, that they finally got my money back.

Aha!

 

You don't have one either. You're just repeating the same dried up BS fanboys have been spewing for three years now.

[Nick1020]

I'll probably never buy a shark card until rockstar adds a anti cheat system for money glitches.
