Just change sessions. You lose a tiny amount of stock, but the raid is cancelled. Rockstar is a bitch to people who don't know anything about the game, but there are such easy ways to avoid getting "robbed".

Why don't you just play it in invite only?

I wish i’d known that, i did think to do it as well but didn't dare risk it as the warning message said fail and lose all stock. After the truck got exploded i quickly turned the PS off but signed back in and the damage was already done  

[MaddenedGhost]

So I went on-call for an Adversary mode.. seconds later it showed "Til Death Do Us Part" I said cool ..

I spawned in the mode, failed the first round hecause my teammate died, second round as well.. then I saw a friend request pops up in my notification, so this guy, instead of actually playing, was busy being afk and looking in my profile to send me a friend request.

-_-

 

I might add him and murder him in some lobby a couple of times then delete him.

Because that shouldn't have to be the solution for everything. He was in an insurgent and I was in a MKII. If I had had better spawns I would have been able to pick up the diamonds and leave him in the dust no problem.

 

My complaint isn't that this player came after me (a little opposition never hurt anyone) and my complaint isn't just with client jobs, my complaint is with the spawn points.

We've arrived at the point in which people will blame you for not getting a "solo public session" to sell if your sale gets destroyed instead of blaming the cunts who don't have anything better to do than ruin someone's day for peanuts and a pat in the back from R*.

"Shoulda played solo" "Shoulda hired more people" "Shoulda been a CEO and activated ghost org."

 

Sounds like I should've played a better game.

I mean I 100% get where you're coming from, but after all these years, I can't help but blame people for not getting solo lobbies, is it the intended way to play? no, but it is absolutely the right way to play, any business owner in this game should know by now that Rockstar rigged everything against the seller, it passed the point of it being a challenge to just flat out ridiculous and stupid.

That's the thing, not everyone knows abot solo public lobbies yet people nowadays expect you to know about them even when they're not obviously the way an online multiplayer game should be played.

 

Hell, I've met players who started playing from day one who didn't knew about solo public sessions or how to trigger them on purpose.

 

Sure, people should inform themselves before tackling Businesses on GTA Online head on, I'll give you that, but it shouldn't be like this. Literally telling people to play completely alone shouldn't be the best way to play this game.

Yeah, likeI was saying, it is not the intended way to play an online game, but with how imbalanced this game is and how rigged the gameplay is against sellers, it becomes the right way to play.

I 100% agree. I don't play in solo public sessions often because frankly I get bored and lonely playing alone in a world that's meant to be played with other people. As long as I take the time to get a good look and feel for the lobby I'm in (no MKII's) more often than not I can sell in a public session with little to no issues. Plus, I like the dynamic of running across people in freeroam, whether its just us exchanging a wave and going our separate ways or engaging in brief pvp, I'd take a public over a solo public lobby almost any day

[HamwithCheese]

Not everyone is as "hardcore" as us. We're small. Casual people don't even know you can manually manipulate connection settings. These guys saw the update trailer, said "that looks cool" pops in, buys the new property, tries to set it up and gets blown up by an op2.

 

The real kicker is, even if they did know about solo lobbies, they probably wouldn't even grind because they'd rather play another game.

So you know that public lobby we were just playing in? I sold my nightclub stuff, counterfeit cash, 1 high end car, and my hangar stuff in that same session lol. All solo. All with 15 other players in there or more.

 

Doesn't add anything to your conversation but I just thought it would be a fun thing to throw out there.

few seconds after you left I attempted to sell my nightclub, my sale was successful but I had issues, and by issues I meant an offradar akula and some broomsticks, and also, I'm still in that lobby right now and compared to how it was where you were in, it almost feels as if it's a different lobby, 

I actually went to do a promotion mission but I found out that I had some stock to sale so I went for it anyways.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

I got the damn dune buggy sale mission three times in a row since restarting my bunker last Thursday. The first sale I did was the Merryweather hide and seek sale mission. All four sales I've done were the sucky ones.  

[Rumblebud]

I don't mind a bit of competition.

 

BUT...

 

Three f*cking broomstick riders abusing the MC menu to refresh their missiles, trying to destroy a target that's meant to be stolen? Thanks to my trusty MOC cab, I made it to the drop just after the cab took one last hit. Evidently they underestimated the strength of the MOC let alone the trailer.

 

And then, level 300+ players haven't heard of Explosive or Incendiary rounds? Neither do they know how effective headshots are when my #1 objective is to keep their ass off my yacht.

 

 

If all-around gameplay is

this toxic and imbalanced to the point that it entices players to playing solo in a multiplayer game, that means R* f*cked up bigtime.

We actually got a leak of one of the most anticipated and closely guarded sports cars ever, yet we still have almost 0 info about a dumb ass casino.

Don't do it.

My last 4 bunker sales were all the Phantom Wedges. I figured someone's gotta get the crappy sales.

trying to access the profile while playing jobs usually takes a few years because of how stupid GTA and PS4 menus are.

Maybe the good luck just follows me lol. I did actually fail my Hangar sale, but only because I suck and I crashed the Hunter I was given for the sale.

Yes, I was thinking that, you get success with sales in crowded lobbies, you have an old-fashioned weapon loadout in the 2019 GTA Online, you get full Arena Wars lobbies .. luck follows you around for sure.

And I have seen that, I was following you with the jet in case some broomstick boy decided to interrupt the sale, soon as I flew away it said your cargo got destroyed lol

I would prefer the business missions to be available in private solo sessions, closed crew/closed friend sessions with NPC enemies coming at me. I feel like that stuff should have been built on the foundations of contact missions as opposed to only being public free roam missions.

 

But then again, doing them in public free roam wouldn't be such a hassle if Rockstar put some effort into maintaining the balance in the game. It's like they go "hey, we have a great new vehicle or mechanic to add to to the game and it'll encourage shark card sales" and the boss goes "that's wonderful, do it" and one poor schmuck in the back of the room goes "but how will this effect the current mechanics?" and everyone looks at him like he's an idiot and wordlessly shames him out of the room.

Can't wait for this thread part 4 so I stopped getting notified of links

I 100% agree that we shouldn’t HAVE to get solo public lobbies. 

I’m still of the mindset that they should have friendly lobbies. 

I’ve been in one or two lobbies where there were 4 or 5 people just minding their own business and doing their business sh*t and it’s honestly the nicest thing in the world. 

 

I would play in public lobbies if it was like this. I’m in a lobby by myself 100% of the time bcos I’m not a PVP person but sometimes it sucks like when I wanna do haulage and I can’t cos it requires another player in the lobby lol

We need passive lobbies and non-passive lobbies. This way, those who don't want to engage in battles can play in passive lobbies, and they don't have to be ghosted to everyone else in the lobby. And those who want to engage in battles can play in non-passive lobbies, where passive mode doesn't exist, thereby preventing players from abusing it. However, Rockstar may choose to disable businesses and the like in passive lobbies and only make them enabled in non-passive lobbies.

 

Also, an option to remove traffic, at least in missions, as well as the option remove cops. 

 

But since these ideas would make too much sense, Rockstar won't implement them.

I miss the GTA4 matchmaking days for free mode because when you got to customize the game that your hosting, also having the option to have Friendly fire on or off, Cops on or of and other stuff

They could easily make it so you can do business in a passive lobby BUT you will make less money than you would in a non-passive lobby. Then it’s up to people to decide if they’d wanna risk it.
