Will you commit auto theft?

[98 in 1]

With this new update, instead of being able to destroy other player's special cargo (in this case, cars) for practically f*ck all (2000 dollars and ammo), you can instead steal the cars they've been tasked to snatch and store them for your own gain. As of this post I haven't been in a populated public lobby since the update dropped, but I can assume that when someone is doing a CEO car mission a prompt shows up telling every other CEO in the session that they can steal that vehicle and store it in their own garage provided they have one (correct me if i'm wrong please).

 

 

So tell me, are you going to go by the namesake of the game and jack the jacker's automobile? Or, will you abide by the unwritten CEO code that was prevalent at the launch of FAIFAF and let bygones be bygones? Is it even worth doing? (considering the damage you might do to the car in the process of stealing it) Would you have preferred CEO and Biker missions to have had the same stipulation of theft instead of DESTROY THAT (usually) DEFENSELESS CHAP FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO BE AN ASSHOLE WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS (or refill firework launcher ammo) Why am I asking all these goddamn questions?

Yessir

Already did twice, one of which was a top tier vehicle. It's really fun to go after players and it's not too bad to get attacked since you have no money in them yet anyway. As for sales, they should come with risks and I think it's a good idea to have players steal them from you instead of facilitating asshole behaviour like blowing you up.

[Mr_Zombly]

store it in their own garage provided they have one (correct me if i'm wrong please).

 

Wrong,they take it to the po po or some random garage for like 5k

[LTG_KARL]

Wait so how exactly do you steal them? You can't blow 'em up right? So you either roadblock, plan an ambush, or crash into them and try to shoot through the windshield?

[Tech-Noir]

Steal it and dump it into the ocean.

[ngazi]

Can you steal the car they are about to sell and keep the upgrades for yourself?

 

The car is worthless until someone upgrades it and goes to sell it.

[Spadge]

It's more good hearted fun since you don't have to pay these.

[Shadowfennekin]

I already did lol

I was going to my garage to show it off to a friend who wanted to see. While I pulled up, another org pulled up. I gunned them down and drove it on in. hahaha

Pros of owning the cheapest business

[Matrelith]

I'm probably gonna wait for an analysis of the process and see if it's worth buying a warehouse for these kinds of missions, but I'm leaning towards a yes. I don't want to spend my money too impulsively though, because before you know it you're stuck with stuff you don't want (cough, biker businessess, cough).

[JohnGazman]

Maybe. Depends on if the guy in question has annoyed me already.

[Red Lynx 23]

No I won't be stealing other player's cars. That's not what this game is about!

[Yukinoshita]

No I won't be stealing other player's cars. That's not what this game is about!

Exactly

 

The game is called Grand Theft Auto. I want to steal candies to kids, not cars

 

R* sux so much lolz. Sellout company!

Stealing the cars will prove to be a much more respectful gesture than just blowing it up, adds competitiveness and fun.

[Shaytan]

It usually depends. Am I planning to start Piracy Prevention and want some people to try to attack me for the extra fun? Did the CEO messed/ tried to mess with me? Has he clearly been a d*ck to other players?

 

Even if the answer to all those questions is no, since I can get the benefit to myself, is his cargo clearly that valuable? (after all he was the one to take the risk to do the job on a public filled session, I'm not disrespecting any rules if I try to get the benefit to me)

Of course, if they start sh*t first that is. Revenge and get to reap the profits aswell, mmm.

[Grand Theft Amanda]

Yea...I did...Oh! You mean in game? Then no.

But I will

[EarvGotti]

Yes I will. I'll camp outside of the sketchiest warehouses and jack them by surprise.

 

Gonna be so much fun

[98 in 1]

Wrong,they take it to the po po or some random garage for like 5k

 

So it's only 5k if you don't have a garage to store them, or is that across the board for everyone? If so that sucks, I was under the impression that you could steal them and store them.

 

 

Because yer a nerd

 

well you're not wrong ya fox eared asshole

[TreFacTor]

Most people can't drive and dont adjust to the traffic flow so I'm not too worried.

[ALifeOfMisery]

No. Never destroyed crates or biker deliveries, won't be wasting time chasing other players, far quicker and more profitable to steal cars from ncp's.

[JoeBoneless]

I've gone off radar and camped at the cheap garage. Stolen two and destroyed one. Why do all the hard work when someone else will for you? Criminal life yo

[BlackMilk]

Fine if you play the game the way Rockstar intended, but I cannot keep myself from judging people who "troll legitimately", so to speak, by destroying or stealing crates/supplies/vehicles/product.

I've never made an attempt to do so and will refrain from doing so in the future UNLESS someone has wronged me and I feel like retaliating. Alternatively when a friend or (if I had any) crewmember needed help getting back at someone. Then definitely, and as long as it's going my/our way.

 

Definitely prefer if it was stealing over destroying though. It would lessen the pain of losing the free things and if you pay for crates you might be able to steal stuff BACK before it's turned in by the thief.

I also think the reward is pathetic from what I've been told, but I don't want them to increase it. A higher monetary reward would mean a LOT more people choosing to destroy instead of working on their own business, making public sessions even more dangerous.

 

Voted No, No, Yes to both.

[ThaSouljaCity]

Depends

Yes

Yes to both

 

I won't exactly go outta my way to steal it but if they're in my close proximity, and a have a garage nearby then hell yea I'm doin' a jack move on em

[AlexBecky]

Vehicle theft is a very serious crime. I would not risk a criminal record or time in prison!

[Nutduster]

I'll do it if it's convenient - i.e. if it looks like they're going to drive right by me and I'm not already doing something else. Otherwise probably not. Intercepting someone else's car (usually a fast one at that) and shooting them without completely destroying the vehicle too is a lot of work. Also, so far I'm really enjoying the stealing and selling of these cars, and plan to soon enjoy the new VIP jobs, so I'll probably be doing too much of that for a while to mess with other people except once in a rare while.

[bigraj]

I'm sure I will car jack other players, especially if it's a situation like mine from this morning. Bringing my freshly stolen vehicle to my warehouse at the same time someone is coming out of the same warehouse. Easy jack for him as I was totally not expecting it.

 

If I'm near my garage and someone comes near, I'll definitely take their merch and store it my warehouse.

[JoeBoneless]

Here come the 'play it our way, not the way the game suggests' knights in shining armor

 

If it makes me money you bet I'm doing it, whatever it is

 

Oh, btw- forget stealing. Just leave a proxy mine outside few warehouses. Right in front of the door!
