So Rockstar just took pretty much all of my money.

[Hellbendzor]

Here's my Story:

 

PC (transferred from PS3)

 

no cheating,glitching,duping

 

never received modded money

 

Playing Solo exclusively in either Invite only or Empty public (if they didn't want us to play this way, they could just send us back to Singleplayer)

 

GTA Dollars removed by Rockstar: 40842500 (40.8M removed, I have 9.8M left)

 

One day after Gunrunning was released I had about 11M left. I was grinding almost every day (Bunker Sell/Resupply, I/E Vehicles, Fortified, Headhunter, Sell a Sandking XXL every Ingame day), to get back to around 50M for the next DLC. I achieved that goal a week ago. Now they removed basically every Dollar from a 2 month grind.

Sorry to hear that, I know how you feel (to a less extent aka 8.5 legit money removed here)... This is utter BS...

Let's see how they'll fix this... But with their current trackrecord for support... Well... :-(

[NeO_mx]

This also happened to me, although I DIDN'T hack or anything like, even the advertisement on the loading screen DIDN'T say I have illegimite money (of course I don't).

I had 27 million yesterday, now 17 million ;(

It seems that T2 Int. (and possibly R*) STRONGFULLY FORCES us to buy shark cards, which prices doesn't fit for 2017's GTA Online.

 

In fact I was selling two top range cars, I paid 50k, both of the cars got blown by fking hacker with one-button presses, all weapons are gone (probably reappears again after a session switch). I guess it's time to boycott the game, I'm already 528 why should I care about this game anymore?!

[wizooord]

Had this happen to me for the fist time, they took 3.something million (which i vaguely remember being dropped on me by modders some good 6-10 months ago)

all my legit money and, it seems, the few mil dupe money, is still intact

 

i think it's a good thing. i'm fairly sure that the majority of the "i never did nothin but they took mahmani" claims are not legit

if anyone really did nothing and got money taken from them, well crap bro sorry to hear that

 

also, ive noticed the YOU RECIEVED 200,000$ FOR WHATEVER REASON type of messages repeat alot for the past year so idk might be them fixing that or something

[d3mentu]

What if after this sh*t storm R* they gonna start banning players...as they did two months ago.

sure, ban every legit player so only the modders with trillions of dollars are left

 

looks like R* logic for me

 

It's worse then banning openIV

Rockstar watches these threads. They know they did wrong. They don't care.

[zecanelao]

I don't think it has anything to do with recent 2x events. I hadn't played this game during the last 6 months and when I logged in yesterday they removed 2kk from my account. And that amount is pretty random too. This is a complete mess.

[Gridl0k]

Rockstar watches these threads. They know they did wrong. They don't care.

 

"Rockstar" (actually also T2) is tens of thousands of people and hundreds of systems, you shouldn't think of them as a person.

[el_Bosco]

I've just created this account to let you guys know of my history. I've been posting this on several GTAO related topics to help spread the word that LEGITIMATE people are getting affected by this. The community needs to take action.

 

Another legitimate money wipe story [22M$] proof inside

I've decided to make this post specially for those paladins of truth who are implying that everyone whining about money being cleaned from their accounts are cheaters. I have read that ppl are basing their argument on indeed on the SC balance of earned and spent money. I have in fact a negative money balance of 27M$ in my social club account but i'm not sure that all the money earned in correctly displayed there. And if that balance was indeed the cause of my "adjustment" why did they took 22M when i have 27M in difference?

First, the copy paste ticket i've just sent:

Dear Rockstar Support

"This morning I've received notification letting me know that my in game account has been "adjusted" by minus 22million credits. I'm aware of the current money adjustment policy taking place in GTA online but as far as I know that only applies to illegitimate modded money.

This was not the case in my account. I've never used in game modifications and i have proof of the origin of the money i've received. As you might also be able to check, my in game money was achieved by using more than half of my 800 gameplay hours were grinding and farming in MC and CEO activities and completing the criminal mastermind challenge, as i can prove from the attachments below. In the last 2 weeks specially, i have played over 150h selling CEO bunker supplies and cars.

We as a community cannot accept these aggressive and disloyal business practices, on the verge of the release of a new DLC in order to incentive buying shark cards. It is unacceptable and it will have legal repercussions not to mention a serious public damage to the company and shareholders.

I'd like the customer support to provide factual evidences of my EULA infringements and to verify my case. I also request that a proper human typed response and not a copy/pasted FAQ reply.

Thanks for your time"

Then the proof of my claims.

https://ibb.co/hOvnz5
https://ibb.co/kDRGsQ

So what do you make of that? Bug, aggressive commercial practices or just plain stupidity?

I URGE everyone wrongly affected to repeal and to think twice next time you buy a rockstar game.

hmm... so most ppl have the same issue : too much money wiped ....

I wrote R* a Ticket , with a screenshot showing my SC Money Stats ... Hope they will refund me the missing millions ( yes , they are millions in my case )

If not ban them, take away legit money and render any point of playing clean irrelevant, thus either driving people to another game elsewhere or causing more modding.

No, they'll tell you that they removed illegitimate money, thus basically call you a liar. They've done it to me and many others already.

I'm more confused than angry right now. There's a major flaw in their illegitimate money detection. If the the system marked me as a cheater I would have been banned.

 

But with so many people affected, I don't know... maybe this is Rockstars way of telling me to do something different im my free time ;(

[Piro]

it all sounds like "well people are having way to much money... if we remove cash from every accounts that above 30m at least some of them might invest in sharcards if they are left on ice just before the next dlc drops"

edit:

if they won't fix this before smugglers looks like I will have to sell all my cars and bikes...

I don't. But corporations routinely watch things that directly impact their business and relate to their customers, and forums like this include that.

 

That's why they knew what modding websites to go after. People were speaking of it openly.

 

They are watching and they know. They do not care.

If they had decent detection software, claims on support tickets wouldn't be relevant. OR it's that they have adequate detection software and decided to simply harass people into buying Shark Cards.

 

It's one or the other.

 

I will never buy another Shark Card.

even if my SC stats show that I should have +60 million ( not 53 ) ? well then it s pure Bull**** , there´s NO WAY Modders dropped so much money on me lately ...

[Cheesy_wotsit]

To all the people saying they have had legit money removed by Robberstar, keep an eye on your accounts around a week or so after the DLC drops and see if suddenly that or a percentage of the cash reappears. I am just wondering if this is a some poor attempt to get people to buy Sharkcards in desperation of the new content only for them to admit their mistake and oh look aren't we the good guys, we made a mistake so here's your cash back, p.s thanks for buying a Shark Card.

 

Of course if someone came in to your house stole your TV would you happily go up to them and buy your TV back from them?

[Geisterfaust]

It's good to see troll and bait posts being removed from this topic so fast. Thanks for that, mods. Appreciated.

 

My mate from the squad got 22 mil. removed right now, he was on yesterday and laughed how he was not affected. His account was under 30 mil, so he's left with 7 and change, that was grind money (10 mils since spring 2017) and CMM cash (12 mil). He was straight shooter for sure, every time he was on immediately asked me to help export cars and vouched for me in GTA cartel, but I never actually joined the crew. The guy is Irish and he said some actually new curses today, I expanded my vocabulary.

Well I only had 9.2m... others had even less afaik. I hate grinding a lot, so 10m is already a large sum for me (laughable for others). But now that I really grinded a lot and it's all gone I feel very played. I started with 1m before the x2 bunker week and ended with the aforrementioned 9.2m before the wipe. Considering bought supplies, fully upgraded XA-21 and APC, I suspect I have made 15m in 10 days. POOF, gone

I was thinking the same , I mean I now have about 55 millions which is more than enough for the upcoming DLCs , but maybe R* juut wiped a bit more money from us , so that we grind more ( in other words , to play the game longer ) , or simply to force us to buy shark cards .

well R* , if you´re reading this, nice play but , sorry I won´t buy any shark cards now that you ´re playing that game with me .

BTW : this has nothing to do with playing in Solo Public sessions right ? I sold some I/E Cars in some solo lobbies sometimes ....

Perhaps it's a cumulative earnings deal rather than how much you had at one point? I only had 3.8 million at time of wipe, but have around 50 mil total earnings.

Is there a way to include another poll for how much total earnings you have like:

-under 1 mil

-under 5 mil

-etc

 

I'm curious to the average cumulative earnings of those affected, and maybe even their character levels to see if there's a correlation.

Same for me, I only had 8 millions and the two millions that I got removed are casually the amount of money I earned in the past few weeks with double money events.

[Geisterfaust]

No, it has nothing to do with total balance it has to do with playing the game. I was under 70 mil, my mate was under 30 and there are cases with even more laughable balance. My inactive modded account with 200+ millions was UNTOUCHED and was never corrected before. Nothing on that account is legit, though, nothing at all.

[MajorVienna]

To those who lost money, how much money have you spent on vehicles and buildings in the last month?

I suspect there is a chance the system may have double charged you by taking money away under this method.

I'd love to overhaul the poll, but sadly it was doomed from the start...

 

I can't add more than 3 questions.

Poll wasn't added right from the beginning, since I thought this would merely affect me, not hundreds of others.

People who already voted probably wouldn't notice a poll update.

Flat zero. I stopped playing about a month and a half ago, only came back because of I/E double payout. My only purchases I've made in game since I started playing the day before yesterday when I returned were ammo, which was 10k max.
