The worst job on GTA Online

[Marine3D]

In my opinion the worst job you can do in GTA Online is when you have to drive VIP from your Nightclub to a hospital or bring him back to his house. If you are unlucky and get the most distant location about 5-6 km away this actually is the worst thing. So what is wrong with this mission? You get 10min to do this job which is 2 to 3 times more than you need, you have VIP spooked meter which restricts you driving fast. Rock Start, guys, what the hell were you thinking putting in the mission like this? This is literally unfun time wasting mechanic in the game and you get very little for doing it. The guy who came up with it is lazy and doesn't understand game design or what makes the game fun. The idea of the missions is to drive as slow as possible and you actually not even fighting against the timer because it's way too generous. Does that sound like fun?? What's the point?

On the other hand you have the "troublemaker guy" kicking out your Night Club. That gets you full popularity and 10K on hand, easy money for basically nothing. Is it fun? Hell yea, it is. Is it worth it? Of course. Does it come too often? Not at all. So driving a VIP to a location, might be for balancing the kicking outta club stuff. And I think it pays the same. I mostly ignore the VIP driving stuff and just wait for the troublemaker to show up. With the Bartender upgrade your popularity won't fall too much anyway.

[Marine3D]

You are correct. What i'm trying to say is that both missions should be fun in their own way. Even making the timer a little more tight would bring at least some challenge. Making troublemaker try to fight back or start a bar fight would bring more fun. At least troublemaker missions doesn't waste 10min of your time while forcing you to do the most boring thing in the whole game.

If you think that's bad, try air freight cargo.

post op sell missions are EASILY the worst job in the game, by far...

the BEST job

remember: you own the nightclub and you want happy costumers, right? so to keep the club popular you gotta do some stuff, right? taking care of VIPs is a big deal, they spend a lot of money in your club - and they attract other costumers, right?

work is not always fun, but it pays

Technically, while yes, you own the club, Tony is the public face, why would the owner do all the dirty job him/herself? What does Tony do, other than telling you, what YOU have to do for the club? Remember you've bought it, you've gave the money. And well, you still do some pretty dirty job (selling stuff to customers around the city) anyway, and you also do some promoting (playing music over the city, littering it with dropplets, sticking posters up some walls), so yea.
But since it's a game and the PLAYER has to do everything, it's up to you, the owner of your club, to drive the VIPs around yourself. You could as well buy a taxi service property in one of the future DLCs, you're doing it anyway, so why not making it official? If you have to do it, then why not being rewarded more? Why not giving you some motivation? I honestly ignore these and just kick the troublemakers out, as driving VIPs around the city isn't my idea of the most fun ever. Getting 10 grand for this, or the same money for kicking someone out? Well, I'm for option number two.

The bogdan problem so boring

Worst job off the top of my head is probably one of the bunker missions where you have to halt a military convoy. Without any warning, the game brings an armoured chopper with explosive rounds to the fight.
First time i did this mission i went in with a normal car and it was promptly annihilated.

Now i know what to expect, i take my armoured karuma and get the chopper out the way first. But god help anyone who didn't unlock an armoured car yet or some other way to defend.

Quick tip, after update now it gives 50k with max popularity every game day up to 250k. You have to empty your safe and check on popularity from time to time. So it is quite profitable to keep popularity high.

Yeah they need to increase the safe cap though 250k gets filled up very quick

It is a chore. Who plays the game because of chores? I have enough chores in real life. With very little tinkering they could make it much more fun. From story perspective, maybe some particular drunk guy really loves driving fast, maybe he would even give tip or something? What about driving them to the hospital at the slowest speed possible and risking them dying in your car? That break any logic.

[PanPan]

Have you made Autoshop heists ? or new ULP missions ?
If yes, you should know that R* makes bad mission design 60% of the time... (yes this number is from my ass)

Honestly you're not driving them to the hospital because they are deadly ill, or injured, or even drunk that much to threaten their life, you're driving them there, because they are on a rehab, or whatever it's called, basically doing detox, they have to be in that hospital in the first place, but instead they are in your club drinking your alcohol, getting wasted. Since they are mostly some senator's son or something, Tony is basically begging you to drive them there to make it good with their father. Like making some influencial friends. It's still just a lame story excuse for you to drive a guy to some hospital, it has no game consequences whatsoever, you're not actually winning any favor with some senator whatsoever, so I'm still quite ignoring it. No real motivation. The same money as kicking troublemakers outta your club, the same popularity restoring effect with the bartender upgrade not that much needed. Just more work for your money.

Candidates for the worst job/mission:

CEO: The new one where you have to pick some random satchel charges,go underwater,then drive a long time,and that for only 3 crates??? If it was 10-15 crates,it would had been worth doing it but as it is,no,it`s not by a large shot.

MC: Easily Post Op sell,if I see one,i just Find New Session the ♥♥♥♥ out of there,at this point,why can't we choose what vehicle to use for sales??? I genuinely think that the Boxville is the worst van type of vehicle in the entire game,I still find it funny that as a biker gang,you only have one sell mission that you actually use bikes and not even good ones anyway...

Bunker: Either the Dune FAV sell mission or the Stealing of a Technical Pickup,the latter cause you cannot drive-by from inside the vehicle and the infinite respawning AI have almost Doomsday like accuracy which tells you why it is so "fun" to do it.

Nightclub: Placing posters mission,one of the most boring things to do ever. Or the sell mission in which you have to use the Cargobob.

Auto Shop: Almost all contracts suck because either ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gameplay or because of those 2 morons that keep ruining my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day by talking on the phone,I prefer to do these Contracts when i do not listen to the game and instead listen to something else.

Agency: Asset Protection or Gang Termination are the worst Security Contracts,the former because it`s always 10 minutes so you can't finish it at your own pace and the latter cause of the doomsday like accuracy,especially the Lost MC one,♥♥♥♥ those guys.

As for Payphone Hits,only the CEO one i`m genuinely thinking it`s not that good,it`s buggy and takes a long time to do the bonus which I wonder they took it out of the game? I haven't seen it in months which thank God cause i never liked when it popped up.

I`m not gonna bother going into heists cause that`s a can of worms that i do not want to open.

Flying missions.

There's a reason that I don't fly in this game, and that's because I'm horrible at flying in this game. So bearing this in mind, I find it annoying when I draw the short straw on cargo delivery missions and have to fly.

As to VIP escort missions, well I have no issues with those. I'm not in a hurry anyways, so I'm fine with driving them long distances if needed.
