Why does gta online force you to play online public sessions for some features?

[KayZach]

Isn't the reason private sessions exist is for players who would like to actually avoid certain things that public sessions bring?
I've recently started playing this after playing old gen for some time and I really appreciated actually opening up an invite only session and playing with friends greifer and unwanted problems free.
I honestly don't understand why rockstar decided to force you to deal with hackers and greifers and stuff all the time. Is there an official reason why they chose this?
So people can't take advantage of the system and mechanics? That's kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason

Its called "online" for a reason. Its not supposed to be glorified singleplayer

Solo pub sessions dont require cheats

Because it's an exploit. Also, you contradicted yourself by saying that.

I know, I just felt like mentioning it

Rockstar dont want you to make easy money . They dont care if you meet hackers in every public session. You have to buy items with real life money !

The hacking probelm would be solved with dedicated servers ROFL.... imagine all the money they would lose with banned people NOT buying new accounts.... LMFAO

How can bad internet be an expoit. The way I see if: people who claim that it is expoit are just being saity becasue that is one less person they can grief.

well its gta. why do you wanna play alone. killing and blowing stuff up is a part of the game

"Solo" public sessions are no exploit.
You have to grind the game as usual and don't magically get anything.

In fact, playing GTAO, which is heavily designed for multiplayer, is actually worse when you are alone, so make sure to invite your friends again.

You often end up alone in a session, simply because there's no free slot anywhere.
And if you continuously switch sessions, it'll happen as well eventually.

It's the only way to avoid cheaters, because with their mods, they can even ignore the kick voting.

keep on listening to your ego, which tells you about an alternative reality

it is an exploit without punishment, because it is hard to tell, if it happened by accident or willingly.

There is a reason, why you can't use the ceo stuff in invitation only sessions. I hate R* for this cheap move too.

Solo public is the only way to avoid cheater scum cancer AIDS.

Call it exploit all you want. It is the only way to not get cheater HIV.

Safe gaming. Digital condom.

Describe the method in which you get into a public solo session.

I stream 4K Ultra HD Netflix for a second.

Because everything will then be a cake walk for you...grow some balls and deliver that supplies...*sheesh*

It's more that I like to have private sessions with a couple of friends rather than deal with the usual run of the mill greifer/hacker or other type of annoyance you get with public's. I just don't like to deal with toxic people if I don't have to and rockstar didn't make you do so back in old gen.

It's more that I like to actually be able to pick who I play with and not be forced to deal with toxic people if I don't have to. Something that I didn't have to do on old gen.
I get my enjoyment from playing a solo session with like 5 of my friends. ♥♥♥♥ around like that.

Even the most massive balls won't help you against script kiddies with their mods, teleporting you out of your vehicle, into the open ocean or high into the sky, or explode you outright.

And as I've repeatedly said, I play with a big crew of competent players, making full sales pretty easy to bein with.
We dominate each session with the majority kick vote, or by raw fire power.
Any legit players joining are no concern for us.

But if you can't even vote-kick those cheaters, and they destroy you with the press of a cheater button, that's when we switch to a new session.

In short, I play GTAO as it's meant to be: multiplayer, with friends and utilizing the crew system.

Solo play in GTAO is a massive time waste when selling small bits of stock to get a single delivery vehicle.

even the biggest plums on the peach tree wont help you against some diehard aircraft which fully intends on ruining your delivery run.. blame the post op van.. not the heat seeker heading your way at lightning speed.
who cares about supplies? just buy 'em.. (once you get to the stage at which you can afford them at the cost of making a few ten k's less on each singular sale.)

first starting out Is a nightmare though, since you have to steal supplies. low level and or solo players are always targeted the most because we all know just how much of a screwover it is to have to keep stealing supplies that never make it back to your factory. or have to start all over again when your delivery mission vehicles get wasted.

@ OP -
im sure you already know why certain things can only be done in a public session.
to negatively impact the effeciency of any given player to make big money.
=/= to make things as hard as possible.
=/= most players are labeled as griefers by their victims for playing the game as "intended".
=/= higher than normal stress-factors to encourage the sales of shark cards.

just keep doing what youre doing and play in private servers with your friends if thats what you like.
then take fister's & the others advice and sell your product in a solo public/whitelist session.
