So Rockstar just took pretty much all of my money.

[Black-Dragon96]

 

I read the thread and almost everyone admits that they got illegitimate money at some point one way or the other. The odd false positive doesent change the fact, that players who did wrong things are getting punished right now.

 

So if a scriptkid drops 50k per second (money that I DO NOT WANT) on me Im the one who is at fault?

If this money gets (legitimatly) removed BEFORE GUNRUNNING (in the regular prior gunrunning whipe, id like to add, since they do not remove money outside of those whipes) Im NOW being punished for what exactly?

Every single illegal GTA $ got removed before gunrunning, i reported every single of these illegal GTA $ (I had to make multiple tickets everytime because the support is bloddy stupid.), I had no contact to illegal GTA $ since the gunrunning whipe, every single GTA $ that got removed yesterday was 100% legitimatly earned by doing the double money events on slasher, sumo and Import/Export in a lobby with 10-15 crewmembers and a few other people aswell as some headhunter is said lobby and invite only.

 

You seriously have no idea what you are talking about, like we see here:

 

If you were given money by hackers and report that, then that money will be taken away shortly after your report and not during a money wipe, like this one.

This is just completly wrong. If you (like me) ask for a whipe of illegal money, you get a copy paste response saying that the remove money during regular sweeps and that the money will be taken away during on of them.

 

 

@Mods: Is there any way to get this guy outta here?

The incompetence of rockstar never ceases to amaze me. What about you fix your sh*tty game that is packed with cheaters instead of punishing legit players time after time. Holy sh*t

[NudasPriest]

So I had around $2.4million "adjusted" out of my bank account, I guess luckier than some. I wish I could say I've been lucky and never encountered any money-dropping modders, but the one time that happened to me was months ago, and I left the session within seconds when I noticed money dropping and the numbers popping up. I highly doubt I picked up more than $20k let alone $2 million that instance as I pay attention to my bank account when I'm playing to stay on top of expenses each session.

 

I have also used the car/heli method for Pac-Standard Elite Challenge a few times in the last couple weeks.

 

But it seems like it's a coding/algorithmic problem on Rockstar's end to me. The fact that the Import/Export cars' ranges are not as they usually should be during this last 2xCash event for I/E (Mids showing as Top range) shows me that something went wrong somewhere. I remember the last 2 times they had a bonus on I/E cars this did not happen and the cars were in their proper usual ranges. If I remember correctly they were 50% and 25% bonus each time, this time it's 100% bonus and it may have something to do with it. Just a theory though.

[0CypherP]

I hope this is a one time event,i am grinding my daily third million right now and i will be really pissed if they remove my money again.

[KyloW13]

I've lost 15.7mln $...

All of this I've got from 2x events: selling coke, meth, fake dollars, marijuana and bunkers.

They left me with 50k dollars... Never cheated, modded etc. I even reported some cheaters myself, using the support page.

 

I will send them my factories stats, maybe that will help...

Count me in on the boycott. As much as I was anticipating this new release....I can't fathom the idea of logging in and checking out the DLC when they have just robbed me 9 figures of my money while leaving me enough for 2 outfits. LOL. I am pretty much done with this game. It's like a bad deal and you can't enjoy something after knowing what happened.

 

This is pathetic.

 

What we know.....

 

1. R* does not like grinders. If legit money is being taken away then its obvious they don't like us. Grinders and hackers are the same in their eyes. Both affect the sales of Shark Cards.

 

EDIT: If we can somehow organize a worldwide boycott or at least from members of this community then I am sure they will listen. With whats been going on in real life with protests and Trump....we should be organizing a boycott through social media and make our voices heard.

 

R* comes to work Monday and DLC drops Tuesday. # of players online????? <crickets>

We'll see, I hope not for your sake.. I'm still in two minds whether to begin again or just sack it off altogether, it's the second time in just over two months it happened to me.. both before the updates

[PolarPimp]

I lost 30 million of my gained 45 million since the wipe and sent in a ticket that got a copy paste response about them just removing illegitimate money. I have opened a new ticket that has references to this support post you guys might find helpful

https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201617423-Update-on-GTA-Online-Cheaters-and-Modded-GTA-

These parts in particular

Question: Regarding the account balance adjustments, what if I already spent some or all of the money I was given by cheaters? Or what if I transferred it to a second temporary character?

Answer: We have taken all of these factors into account when making account balance adjustments. If you already spent some or all of the modded money you were given, you may find that your account balance after adjustment is lower than it was before you received the counterfeit money. This is correct as you will be allowed to keep the items you bought.

Dude, it is not about not "liking grinders" lmao.

 

It was most probably a mallfunction in their AntiCheat systems, which caused legitimite cash to be removed from some players, JUST LIKE LAST TIME; I'll tell you, keep calm, keep sending in Support Tickets and they will soon notice the issue, and revert their account adjustments, JUST LIKE THEY DID LAST TIME BTW..

 

Regarding the reason on why R* is having so many false flags with their AntiCheat lately,

well, since January this year, they employed a new person who is responsible for the AntiCheat measures and manages the whole thing(the old person left in January), so I assume the new Management philosophy in this department led to some chaos.

Got my reply from R* 24 hours later.

 

Hello Pocket-Fox,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

Your shared bank account in GTA Online was adjusted to remove illegitimately gained in-game money. For more information please see https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008697067.

Best Regards,

Rebecca B.

R* Support disappointing as usual.

[Machine_Elves]

I think I'm pretty much done with this game even if I get my money back. Why would I ever spend my time or money on something that can just disappear in an instant? I won't be buying any Take-Two products at all in the future. No more Rockstar games and no more 2k games for me. This put's the nail in the coffin. I don't think I can enjoy myself anymore.

Well a few days before the next update seems too suspicious that there system happened to "malfunction" now.

 

How long until they get there money back because the update literally comes out in 33 hours. Its not like this is the first time this has happened.

This is probably due to the fact that Rockstar likes to execute Ban waves and money-sweeps right before a new Update drops or soon after.(for obvious reasons)

 

The malfunction is probably related to the Gunrunning Bonuses on the Bunker production rate, I would assume that their AntiCheat somehow did not calculate that in, just a preemptive guess at this rate though.

To be honest, as of now, with everything that's happened in the last few years, I don't even want them to listen. I want them to keep being greedy f*cking c*nts and treat their fans like garbage until no one's left.

 

They deserve to collapse at this point.

This could rly be it as i lost around 11 mio. And thats about all i made with 2x bunker and cars so far. Well R* knows how to f*ck sh*t up, thats probably the only thing they're experts in these days... well and selling sharkcards of course

[Frenzy_UK]

Don't R* usually do a live stream with popular youtubers/twitch streamers on the day of the update release..? Just a thought..

Doesn't make too much sense,i made 22 millions with Bunker so i should have lost 22 millions but no,i just lost 3 millions,for me it doesn't have a pattern,it is just randomly removing money.

[Menstrual Deranged]

Figured I'd log on tonight and play. Haven't played much since Gunrunning. Had a ton of modded money dropped on me before Gunnrunning, reported it to R*, they deducted it and I haven't received any modded money since then. Logged on to this:

I mean, really?

It's not a lot but I also didn't have a lot because as I said, I haven't played much.

 

So, I'm not much in the mood for playing GTAO now. At this point I kind of just feel like I'm paying R* against my will to play their broken, poorly designed wannabe mmorpg.

[SalamenceFury]

...Have you guys thought of redirecting all of this to gaming websites? Stuff like TheEscapist, IGN, hell anything that goes? If we just make a fuzz around here, no one will give a sh*t. If we make enough noise that journos pick it up and post articles about it, Rockstar WILL have to answer and fix their crap, since this is another massive PR disaster that NEEDS to be shown to the public.

 

We have proof that all the legit money wiped was legit, let's put it for everyone to see.

Edited August 28, 2017 by SalamenceFury

[RollsReus1959]

We are collective complainers. Unfortunately that is the GTA community.

 

I wish someone can lead us or organize something.

 

There is a reason why R* is not afraid of us.

[111HarBinGer111]

I had about 850k taken from me. My one days work became useless. Luckily thanks to 2x vehicle exports and some strangers, I was able to get it back fairly quickly. Still upset that my cash was taken from me unless someone dropped money on me without me knowing which would be really stupid of me. To be honest, this whole mess shouldn't even happen in the first place unless it was necessary.

[SalamenceFury]

Ok, here's the twitters of some good/decent gaming websites, throw the main GTAForums thread about it in your tweets. If enough people bring attention to this, we'll be golden.

Some info to add. Prior GR I had 51mil. After gunrunning it was quite lower, I even bought 16mil of shark cards because pay to research was bleeding me dry. During GR I was incredibly disappointed so I simply didnt grind and rarely played. I think I played 1 week after GR and maybe 1 week recently. I have 1.1 mil GR Bunker sales in that time and maybe 2-3mil I/E and other activity sales.

 

So since GR I've earned maybe 4-5 mil. Definitely less than 6 mil.

 

My bank was 32.8 mil when I was hit with this and now it is 32.2 mil. R*removed 600k.

 

No ONE thing I did really correlates to this 600k, so I couldn't really pinpoint as to what the algorithm has found and is removing money for. Just remember these algorithms are treated as flawless and impeccable, but they are programmed by mere mortal humans.

 

I'd really like to know WHAT caused this as NO, NNNN OOOOO it was not HACKED money or money that was spawned on me as neither occurred. If it was public session solo sales, then I would expect the entire 5-ish mil I made since GR to disappear, not a random 600k.

 

My main complaint is less with the 600k I lost (which is very little, especially compared to some) it is the fact a false positive has occurred and on such a large scale. Meaning I could be struck again and for MORE next time, as well as other users being struck. My issue is the obviously failure of R* anti-cheat in stopping cheaters and punishing legit players or incorrectly correcting illegit cash.

As many have said, they received e.g 2 mil hacked money. But R* corrected them by -7mil money.

 

And since R* will not respond to our tickets with anything other than a copy paste message, they cannot PROVE the money removed was illegitimate.

While many here call us all cheaters and throw the burden of proof on US, R* meanwhile has provided no proof either!

 

Look at this forum, if I call someone a bad name and harass them I would get a warning/ban and in that I would be told WHAT I did WHERE I did it and shown EVIDENCE of this.

You wouldn't log on to find a warning 'you called someone a bad name so 2 weeks ban' and if you queried WHERE did I do this? Show me the evidence. You'd get the evidence.

 

R* on the other hand, believe they have an infallible algorithm. Look around this forum many billionaires still have their hacked billions and many others post regular about the mods they are using.. so yes, it's working perfectly R*

 

If you have a fault, flaw or defect in your anti-cheat and you refuse to accept this and improve/fix it. More innocent players will be wrongfully harmed and the cheaters just keep on cheating because their programs protect them from R*'s algorithm.

Tweet this thread and the proof we have of legit money wiped to those sites. They'll pick it up and result in a massive PR fire that Rockstar will have to put out if they want to save their asses.

[0CypherP]

I don't think anyone would risk his own journalistic credibility based on some random gaming community words and proof,there is no way to know if we are really telling the truth or trolling.And because it is only an part of the community that has been affected the rest of the community wouldn't believe in us,they would believe rockstar,especially these hardcore fanboys,i say that based on my experience with this game,i remember a lot of people claiming there is no way to be randomly banned in this game,and claiming that people who get banned deserved to get banned since rockstar doesn't make mistakes.

but that is my opinion of course,

[Cutter De Blanc]

Let's all make posts about how and why we're not going to do this!

 

My twitter account is suspended today or I might.

PCGamer might do an article because they're kinda the only ones who care about the current situation on PC. As others stated that this is happening to PC players only (correct me if I'm wrong on that one).

To all those considering to do this, please leave your social club opened to the public, so the journalists can see that you're not bullsh*ting nobody.

Is this issue affecting every single platform ?
