zzmorg82 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Or just kick them out of the match after a certain amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadedSilverback Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 agreed had a match today where the entire team was AFK sh*ts frustrating as hell. Just also hoping R* does also f*ck with the freeroam afk timers cause its nice to be able to grab a drink or something and not worry about getting kicked zzmorg82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have rubber bands on their joysticks, so it's probably hard to detect. It's amazing what some sh*tty YouTube videos can achieve. This wasn't happening on day one, not until some YouTube sh*tter decided to come up with this epic method to gain xp. It's not like it takes 5 hours of AFKing to make any meaningful progress. You might as well not play the game if you don't like progressing the normal way. Edited December 5, 2018 by Display Name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you smash that like button and subscribe though? I'd like a system where you can report an AFK'er and if they got xx amount of reports they get given a challenge. Like 23+45 = ? Or something.

Shadowfennekin Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I don't care, until they make it easier to get XP aside from Series I don't blame people for AFKing. I would do it if I could be bothered Edited December 5, 2018 by Shadowfennekin kushnstien and Rithrius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmike Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This is fully Rockstars fault, especially in the races. I raced and finished 5th, got 89 xp. I sat out a race and got last..... 79 xp. What do you honestly expect from a game that doesn't reward you at all for playing? P.S. This is ruining racing as it's often impossible to finish the race cuz more than half the people are afk so I'm not a fan but I understand it E•MO•TION and zzmorg82 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryday Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 i never did rubberbanding in gtao, because in most of the modes, you are ruining the team chances. i thought in rdo races its i a good idea, the others get more money/xp and i can be afk. then i came back and the race didnt finish because 4 afk guys. the awful payouts are leading the players to cheat the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callahan44 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I got no problem with money glitchers but these people suck the fun out of the game. But i guess its in rockstars interest to clear the issue as these people farm gold. Dont think anybody will get banned for it...but if you do use this strategy to get cash/gold you seriously got problems imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very common by some people who is selling XBOX/PSN accounts... If you can sell a online game account worth more, so...

That’s really strange. Money glitchers will have unlimited ammo, dynamite, fire bottles and consumables. It affects the game to a much higher degree than people being afk.

The moneyglitchers i met didnt do it in races but in freeroam. If half of the people in a race dont try to win,its just much less fun. In freeroam everybody does what he wants,i dont care.

Lonely-Martin Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Yeah, ruins racing* big time. They need to add timers between checkpoints. Basically like old arcade games. No clue how to address DM's though. (*well, what R* call racing. It's crap!) 1 hour ago, Gallows said: These people suck, but not as bad as money glitchers? That’s really strange.

Leaving it afk on playlists overnight gives just as much advantage IMO. They're doing nothing and getting quicker access like a money glitches does.

CrimsonFolo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They should just make it so that if a person ain't shooting at people in the deathmatch that they don't get rewarded. Same for racing, just make it so you earn set amount of EXP per checkpoint so people have to race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the races though. They are a lot of fun and much better and more competitive than they were in the first game.

Just money glitches are elsewhere going their thing and not clogging up the start/finish line ruining games for those actually playing. Wouldn't care if I wasn't seeing it really.

kushnstien Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 R* needs to change the exp rates. Its easier to afk than to actually win a match and get close to the same amount of exp/$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
