People are getting banned for dupe glitches

[LokDog]

Ban is soft,restart their accounts and or take all their money. This was a game breaking glitch,causing errors and crashes all weekend for people who were just minding their own business.

A most fair and neutral response that is much needed here, seeing as we have both sides, those who favour the glitches to 'stick it' to greedy Cockstar for their greed and those who prefer being clean in order to preserve some form of dignity in the game. Neither are wholly right or wrong, although I suspect biases are bound to pop up one way or another.

 

Perhaps a fair middle-ground, one where glitchers are given a small, but strict, punishment as a 'warning' for what they have done if, and most importantly IF, they can prove that their activities were in any way linked to the glitches, (Edit: Important to note that this would serve as a first and primary punishment, more to serve as that warning for those thinking of continuing, as one side would have you ban them for life on the spot whilst others would say it's outright wrong to ban one for being in the right place at the right time, having that middle-ground approach is key here) which is something they have done in GTA Online with questionable success. Be it a month's ban only, or perhaps just the cash they took away, might be certain items and/or horses if they bought that glitched money with said ill-gained wealth, but a method that satisfies those who stick to doing things the more traditional way.

 

Bearing in mind that we are seeing a conflict of interests here, as there are those who heavily shun the Microtransactions that are in this game that are more than happy to combat the issue by taking advantage of glitches as they come along, and who is right to tell them what they are doing is wrong? Similarly, those who don't mind (we won't say anybody actually loves the god-damn MTX, come on!) them prefer to keep their dignity by resisting the temptations to resorting to such crude means of gaining money. Again, it is a case where those who choose not to glitch are not 'stupid' or 'zealous', just as these glitchers are not necessarily the 'scum' of the community.

I speak mainly for both groups here, seeing as this divide is a most fascinating one to watch unfold, but I suppose it comes down to one's principles and where they stand on the matter at hand.

 

Alas R* and their beloved Red Dead Online, barely out of Beta at that!

Thank you so much and very well said yourself! ☺

 

I myself am certainly no fan of corporate greed or MTX; I understand that they may supposedly pave the way for certain elements of new content in some regard, but people at the top of the food chain like Zelnick seem to think that we aren't being charged enough, which is ridiculous considering how much money they've made, continue to make, and will likely always make. So, I do understand the desire to circumvent giving them more than they deserve; whether it's through taking advantage of coding flaws and duping for fake cash or just from making it a point to abstain from buying MTX entirely, but I don't feel it's right to condemn others based upon how they choose to enjoy the game, provided it's not hindering someone else's experience or destroying the game as a whole.

 

I also don't believe that glitchers are responsible for a poor or inflated economy; they are aware that individuals take advantage, but if money is as easily obtainable as it through glitching, they're not exactly going to price those who continue to glitch out of buying what they want. It's also wrong to say that all glitchers will simply buy up everything and resort to griefing; where is the evidence? Most people that I know in GTAO that have glitched money do not grief or even pose a threat to anyone; they just don't want to go through the grind and I personally don't see an issue with that. Rockstar may see it as an issue, but that's their deal and those who engage in such are fully aware of this, know the risks, and will accept the consequences if they are enforced.

 

I also understand playing as "intended" but I feel that condemning others who choose to play a different way that does not hinder you or others personally or directly is the wrong way to go about it. They're not going to change anyone by doing this; it's a bit like those who hammer people with religion and the like with threats and damnation and expect them to just up and change their ways. There's nothing wrong with taking a stance and playing as one may deem fair and by the rules, but there are better ways for people to go about it than proclaiming, "my way or the highway and f*ck you if you disagree."

 

I just think a neutral approach and sometimes an agree to disagree approach works better; who am I to judge and why is it any of my business. Those are the questions I ask myself. There's really no need for it all to blow up into a heated war, but yet it often does just that.

Ha ha ha that's funny, we don't really want to play guyz I just don't know why would we want the glitch money to begin with.         -_- 

But I'm sure r* wouldn't mind a higher number of players per week/month (well I wouldn't know their plans)

Just be assured we most likely wouldn't get banned for something as this glitch. the worst I see as an example of gtao is they will wipe the amount made from said glitch not mission cash or progress, again like in gtao wipe's. (Just my guess)

 

By the way I bought some gold  

Well no you don't want to play. You want to go shopping. By giving yourself lots of money you're taking away some of the fun from doing missions. I'll eventually end up with everything you have but I'll have more of a feeling that I've achieved something and not be looking over my shoulder all the time wondering if I'm going to get banned. Yes, you bought the gold that was on offer. You won't be buying any more.

Nobody is forcing you to spend more than you paid for the game. Play the game. Don't buy gold. Earn money while playing. Have fun. It can't be any simpler.

I know this and that's exactly how I do play. ☺ I'm just saying that I understand both sides of the spectrum and don't feel that it's right to judge and condemn others for doing things a bit differently; provided what they are doing doesn't have a direct and negative impact on others or myself personally.

Well you Ar3 wrong , I love playing a games , funny you assume too much. I prefer to play story driven missions.here is an example: I played god of war and never have I ever worried about loot or gear cause I was always slaying monsters it was awesome some scenes more than others I love the relationship between kratos and his son as I loved the story ark from rdr2o and how they continued it with the latest additions I play the game to play I don't play to buy in-game content I cheat for that.also you are wrong about me spending in a game, I'm a big spender if need be. I was tempted to buy more gold but I only buy as I need and not a ridiculously large amount I mean if something was worth it I would of, Heck I bought a $300 ship on a different game so yeah you don't know me or my buying habits. But yeah I won't buy gold I will buy gold I will cheat I will play and earn more gold I will do what I feel like playing. it can't be any easier than that but thanks for the reply...

Interesting, these dupe glitches create more interest in the game...all you have to do is youtube "red dead online money glitch" hundreds of videos will pop up.  They actually need this to make the game as successful as GTAO.  So some players actually have all the cool stuff in game to encourage others to buy gold bars.  GTAO would have never taken off if they banned people for duping a few millions early on.  There is plenty of money sinks to come, most gamers cannot even do these boring glitches for more than a couple hours.  

Could not give two sh*ts about Rockstar’s need to sell gold bars and the game would successful regardless.

Some people on here really to need to get a fkn life. To even care what others are doing in a video game is pretty pathetic to say the least. And to come on a public forum to voice your opinion that no gives a sht about is even worse.
