Gta Online: A job, not a game

[Nomak]

Does anyone know if rockstar has any plans to address the problem with gta online which is the same reason why there is so many hackers and modders.....THE GRIND.

I have fun playing games in general which in other words means that I have a bunch I play at the same time including gta online but the problem is that everything that is money related in free mode takes ages to aquire enough money to get everything you want out of the game. This means that A. I don't have time to get enough money before another patch comes out and B. it becomes incredibly tedious and boring. e.g. 6 hours of playtime in a cocaine business = 436k or whatever money, that seems incredibly extreme. Or the huge amounts of time especially if your solo to get 111 crates for 2.6 mil........... I know that this is a psychological business tactic for rockstar to make the game awesome whilst at the same time trying to get people to spend money on shark cards but cmon enough is enough.

What about the people like myself that doesn't have friends who play the game? it seems a little discriminant, in that the game online seems catered for socialism only.

Does anyone else agree? or am I missing something, as in a way to get millions in casual time only?

I usually play solo and have most stuff I want: CEO HQ, Bunker, Hangar, Yacht, max garages, too many cars, military vehicles, aircraft, weapons... You won't get everything in the game without grinding, true, but then again you don't need everything.

And for the people with not much time, too much money, or parents who are willing to spend money to have as little to do with their children as possible, there's always Shark Cards. I've never spent a dime on them, but they ARE an option.

EDIT: Also, Online is meant to be social. You can play it without that aspect, but it is meant to be played with others.

Join a crew. The game is designed to be multiplayer. Solo is ok but a good crew is epic win.

There are enough ways for quick cash
at the end you realize, that all your toys get real dusty in the garage.

you can play singleplayer with mods, which add all the online dlc stuff to sp, when you have no interest in meeting new friends in the game.

the grind is part of the game. The majority of players quickly stop playing, when they unlocked everything or turn into evil and become griefer.

So you are new to MMO's then?

It's your problem if you wanna cheat and drop $$ beause you wont grind.. ok that's between you and R*

But the real plague is from DC cheats, godmodes and mini explosions, insta kills.

The problem you are having is not a problem with the game.
It's a problem with human nature.
It's the "I want it all" problem.

Find something about this game that you like and do that. You don't need everything.
Get a few things that you can have fun with. I like my oppressor. It can be quite fun getting into some opressor v opressor fights or opressor v plane fights.

No I do like the game. I just thik the time you invest into it is waaaaaay too much and I understand because Rockstar are trying to get you to buy sharks cards which is a legit business tactic, but even still it is stilll too much. I would love to play gta online more but I can't cause of the money per hour issue. Like I said it feels like a job and it isn't fun for solo players or casual players.

Do what most of us do and change session every 40-45minutes.

Daily fees are charged every 48 consecutive minutes you are online.
If you change session before 48 minutes, you avoid all daily fees.
I just figured you were talking about daily fees when mentioned money per hour issue.

No how much money you can possibly make per hour, it's too little for casual or solo players. Like I said it's a grind and the grind is very tedious and boring in order to obtain millions without getting bored at the same time. Other games have grinds like World of Warcraft but at least they make it fun.

GTA Online is a fun game up until this point of grinding millions for weeks. Just to clarify aswell I can make the most money per hour solo and with business cause the pvp part isn't an issue.

You lost all credibility with that statement.WoW has to be one of THE most tedious grind heavy games ever produced.And on't play Black Desert Online,you would have a seizure with the amount of grind you have to do.
