Butcher Table for 10G?

[The Firebrand]

Okay today I got a * at the Befenits sections and I check out to see what's new. I see "Get 5 Gold off the butcher's table."

The Butcher's Table since launch (on steam) was 10 gold and I was expecting to go to Cripps and see it for 5G. No, it's still 10G. Did they really discount it, was it ever 15G or was it always 10G to begin with? The whole discount being bogus.

Also 2nd rant. Today's Camps Update 0/1 challenge is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ since you have to dish out 150$ just to be able to complete all challenges. Jesus Christ.

150$ is the worst-looking theme, worse than the default. Let's say you need to spend the 300$ one for something decent. Not to mention the good ones cost 800. So.

300$

You get around 7$ per bounty mission which takes around 10 minutes.
You get around 13-14$ per PvP match which takes around 10 minutes.

Add waiting times and traveling. You need to play around 5-6 hours on average IF you're farming and not fooling around. So yeah I have the right to call BS on this challenge here when Rockstar are making us spend our money. For what? Only to buy their BS microtransactions after we run out of cash.

Anyway, my main question was about the Butcher's Table.

[󠀡]

yes it was always 15G

The table for me was always 10G, did the main missions up till the bank robbery and used 4 treasure maps. 52 hours game time. Why would you be dumb enough to use real money for microtransactions and buy imaginary gold with it. That just seem stupid.

Rockstar loves people with more money than sense. That's why GTAO still gets updates.

You get treasure maps every 5 levels.
The further you progress in the game the less frequent you will "Level up 5 times" so later on you will find it more difficult to collect gold.

Sure, I'm just saying that to get the game mechanics rolling you only need to play the game. If you wan't endlessly customize your game or get all the professions going you will game longer and grind more. But is that even required. I just try to enjoy the game. Get a good rifle, good pistol on my side, fishing rod on my back and wagon for my camp. I'm a simple woman in the west, I game for the experience, not grind for the accessories.

I bought the butchers table last week for 10 gold bars (gold bars you get from 2FA) so it's been 10GB for at least a week.

I started playing RDO in January and the butcher table was 10G. I went to pay for it today and it was 15G. The only thing I can think of is that it goes on sale sometimes.

The trader, bounty hunter, and collector roles are all 15 gold bars apiece, and the moonshiner role is 25 gold bars (on top of requiring that you already have the trader role).

Rockstar seems to have a different promotion going every week to reduce the cost of certain items and/or increase how much XP you get from certain stuff, and they've also sometimes had other promotions in addition to those which last for varying lengths of time, since they're not part of the weekly cycle (e.g. they've had promotions related to enabling two factor authentication on your Rockstar account or linking your Twitch Prime account to your Rockstar account). In some cases, promotions have made a role cheaper or even temporarily made it free. So, depending on when you were looking, you may have seen a role cost less than the normal 15 gold bars (or 25 for moonshiner), but if you see them cost less, it's because of a promotion of some kind, not because the price is normally lower.

Rockstar does put in a lot of encouragement to pay more regularly and they do seem a bit greedy in their promotions, but the options are there to not pay money.

As for the dailies, you don't have to complete them all. You only have to finish one daily on any day to maintain a streak. Doing them all is nice for the bonus gold, but you don't have to do it. If you don't want to buy the theme this day, then don't and just ignore the small amount of gold. You will get plenty more gold later.

More importantly, if you do buy a theme now, or whatever else you need during an objective, you now have the alternative you need to swap later when the objective comes up again, in most cases you don't have to buy a new one to get it to work, just switch between things you do own.

They may be greedy, but after you have played for a week or two, you will have the options to bypass the extra expenses.
