Yeah. So what if I want a fairer pay/economy or whatever tripe this is.

If there wasn't trophies I wouldn't play. I'm gonna get them and head back to SP. Guys how long do you think it takes to reach rank 50?

Yes it was. I responded further in a following post as the conversation is moving swiftly.

 

But for clarification. I don't  mind earning, never would. But this is a piss take.

Was expecting a grind but this is something else... Guess I will wait and see what happens in the coming weeks.

How is anyone defending an 8 hour grind for one shirt?

 

Really disappointed that they seem to have just copied the GTA Online model soup to nuts, including the parts of it that eventually ruined it.

I'm going to hold off before I actually say "f*ck this".

I am still holding out for PvE lobbies and co-op type content.

What I hate more than anything is the silence from R*

I want to know what their roadmap is, and what to expect in the future.

I won't play it if it stays in this state....

Here's an even more hilarious aspect: according to a google search, the purchasing power of $100 in 1899 is equivalent to $3046.81 in 2018. In-game, a gold bar is worth $500. Effectively, that shirt costs the equivalent of $30468.10. 

 

GTA:O prices look almost reasonable by comparison. 

 

 

Man they gotta add certified Louis Vuitton and Gucci products in RDO for that price.

 

That way we still get robbed for the prices but will flex

Agree with all of that.  I'm not throwing in the towel just yet either, but I am very likely to stay in single player for quite a while longer - may just replay the game after I get 100% the first time - and wait to see how online develops.  No PvE/friendly lobbies might honestly be a dealbreaker for me - I am beyond fed up with the GTA Online model of "optional" PvP, which really means grief or get griefed all day, every day.  That concerns me even more than the grinding does.

It's freakin sad because i really enjoy story mode, I really like the open world and the details, and would love to just play this game with friends.

I have very little interest in PvP but when I do, I would rather have a dedicated area for it, or a dedicated lobby for it.

After 9 hours at work, relaxation is what I desire, not competition. 

At least not everyday.

Same exactly.  I was really hoping for a lot more co-op type of play from this.  Doing heists in GTA with my friends was so much fun... I wanted a lot more of that in this game, not less.  Fighting tooth and nail with trolls and griefers has completely lost any fun factor for me, I just can't be bothered with a game that requires you to put up with that.

yep, if I desire that again... I'll just log into GTAO

Should have the best of both worlds here.

come on now, im loving online and i do want others to play it but this is outrageous.

You said things are level locked but you can unlock in level 1 if you have, lets say, 24 gold bars...so you can just buy a shark card or whatever.

Loving the game but they need to balance this sh*t.

 

Not to mention mission rewards..

Well by comparison, the most expensive clothing items in GTAO are some racing suits and similar that cost between $100k and 200k. For a shirt, you're looking at $1k-6k or so. So spending just a few minutes participating in basically any in-game activity will reward you with enough money for a shirt. Someone who is good at the grind can pay off the most expensive clothing item in an hour. Those might take a casual player a few hours.

 

Vehicles are a whole other story, of course. But I sincerely doubt anyone has felt pressured into buying a Shark Card just for clothing.

^^ Rockstar is desperate for money-sponge content.

 

Desperate.

This is just ridicolous, really. It actually makes GTA Online's grinding look like a breeze in comparison. It would be fine if RDO was a free-to-play game, but you also have to pay $60 to get access to it.

Funny thing is in gta you grinded for a heli or supercar,while here you grind for a cosmetic camp upgrade.

Just curious how often have you actually been griefed? I have played everyday since it came out and havnt been ganked once but maybe it's just my luck.

Haven't played online at all yet, I'm just thinking of my experiences with GTA and bemoaning that they apparently went with the same model. Always-on radar blips plus PvP-optional lobbies plus content locked to free roam = the same thing that drove me away from GTA... probably, anyway. We'll see. Right now I'm still finishing single player anyway.

4 times now. Twice yesterday and same today. After job killing too. Boring and childish stuff, so I rage quitted and quit for the day. It'll onlybpast so long before I just cheat and score cheap trophies, at best.

 

Genuinely pathetic of players, and R* for being absolutely thick!

Not at all! youre unluck trust me, i can tell you that. I have played both RDR1 and GTAO and im telling you this player base is much more friendly. The game itself engage people to play like that in my opinion. Feel free to add me if you need help, im on ps4, same gametag.

We each experience different things. Game allows toxicity to thrive. But I'm not looking to add right now as i just won't be playing much until this test is over.

 

As bad as GTA in my experience so far. But thanks for trying and offering. Bad game atm. (Combined with the other complaints I have of course).

I get you :/ only way to solve this is with PvE sessions, i do hope they include this option ( and free aim session too).

100%. More important than a cash rebalance, IMO. Though that's needed too I feel. 

 

Peace out dude. Just a long week of trying. Hope it picks up soon. :)

I'm currently at the level 30. So far I've got 5.34 gold bars including the ones taken from the treasure chests. For now I'm really disappointed with the game. BTW some crafting recipes appear to be a "cosmetic items" too: https://imgur.com/hTw7ALV

I didnt think R* would actually have the audacity to make RDO as grindy as GTAO, since its a lesser known franchise with a smaller fan base, but they actually manged to make it even MORE of a grind? Jeeeeeeesus

So far it's seems much more friendly compared to other online games I have played. I have gone afk numerous times while in Blackwater and valentine for about 10 mins to eat my dinner, the place has been full of people and no ones killed me once.

 

when you're in a shop your horse can't be attacked.

 

when you're in a shop or picking up a mission you can't be attacked.

 

if killed 3 times by the same person you have the option to 'parley' with them.

 

when in your camp with the white flag raised you can't be attacked.

 

if you are contantly griefed by another player then you can just click on the menu and load your character into a different state to get away from them.
