It should be allowed to get defensive mod menu's

[=420th=aKindabigdeal]

its nearly impossible to find a server without someone being annoying and its unfortunate there are not mod's allowed to block the players that are not capable of playing without cheats.

*cough* inv only sessions *cough* *cough* can do your businesses in an inv only session now *cough* *snifffffff*

It doesn't matter if you use one to "protection the public session" I will still call you a cheating scumbag. That power will get into your head like the rest of em.

Just let players block other players 100%, like they're in the same session but can't see or interact in any way, In a very short time all the cheaters would be running around in empty sessions and could only see players in the playerlist.

Invite only sessions remove part of the fun of playing online and meeting new people to play with..

[=420th=aKindabigdeal]

All i want to do it stop the dsync kicks and things like that
Things that should probably already be built in

Exactly, removing all risk does not fix anything.

Well that is the major hurdle that Rockstar Games refuses to deal with. We're literally stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes down to sessions. And to be fair Modders / Script Kiddies / Hackers can still even force their ways into your Invite Only Sessions with their Mod Menus so even that isn't safe. Rockstar Games hasn't even addressed the situation, but put a band-aid on a giant bullet wound to the point where those who are legit players are still targeted by these scumbags to the point where the game isn't worth the hassle.

Yeah I'm sure that majority of cheaters are exactly those who use it for protection. But then they assume that anyone better than them must be cheating and use it vs all the legit players just the same.

The whole game encourages it though. Steal a car for a job, get a bounty put on you, then hackers/modders flood towards you. Rockstar know what they're doing they just don't care. I've never spent money online and never will. I'll also never purchase another game form them. They create a toxic gaming environment.

Imagine how sad your life needs to be to feel you need to cheat at a video game.

Pretty much the only defense against these emotionally damaged modders is to just play in invite only sessions. If you are playing in a public session, avoid all communication with other players. Dont kill other players. Dont talk in chat. If a modder starts blowing you up for no reason just leave the lobby.

Its sad but this is how it works. Personally I just assume all players are modders. Griefers harassing people are almost ALWAYS modders, or if they arent a modder themselves, they have a modder friend either in that session now or they can just call them on discord or whatever they use to harass a player who manages to beat them in pvp.

There is simply nothing we can do about it. I cannot even play adversary modes without a modder having godmode or teleporting around. And I have to agree with the people here about the "defensive mod menu" thing, some of these scum bag modders pretend to be "police". They harass players with mods and play the victim as if you started it all and are simply being punished. When in reality they were the ones griefing players using godmode or aimbot, and they just got triggered that you attempted to kill them.

A "defensive mod menu" will never work, even though modders plague the game without being punished at all, making mods "legal" would do absolutely nothing to improve the situation. What rockstar SHOULD do, is quite obvious, ban the modders.

But time and time again rockstar shows us that banning the scum bags is either too difficult, or they just do not want to. I have played the game twice today, for a hour or two each time. And BOTH times ive been harassed by a modder. The first time a modder sets a bounty loop on every player in the session, and frames me for killing them, to try and have me gain tons of money in a short period of time hoping that whats left of the "anti cheat" bans me for it. The second time is the usual modder griefing players. I killed him and he turns on aimbot, then spawns godmode cars and then locks me in a cage. He seemed to have other modder friends in the lobby too, and then kicks me from the session.

Please forgive me for the rant but the game is almost unplayable now. A online multiplayer game where social interaction is literally discouraged. Good day.

I feel bad for you, mate. These bastiches need to be IP Banned, but Rockstar Games doesn't even want to waste a tiny amount of money on this toxic game. Hell, I will not pick up GTA VI. Everyone in the PC GTA Online Ecosystem has been mentioning issues like this and Rockstar Games continue to ignore the main issue.

Invite only mode sucks. Those cheaters shouldn't be allowed to ruin the best parts of the game for all of us.

[XxTTHREExX]

R* should create their own mod-menu and get a group of players to use it. It should have 3 functions...

1) Identify Cheaters (menus can already see who's using a menu)
2) Prevent the user from being kicked or crashed out.
3) Have a scan & ban function. Skip the in-game report, do not pass go... do not collect $200.
You already know that they're running a menu, but you gotta scan before you ban for evidence.

For the love of god can we please stop encouraging people to use 'mods' of any kind online!

The progression is obvious:
1. get 'mod' to enhance story mode
2. get bored of story mode - try online
3. get 'mod' for online
4. get bored get more intrusive mods - kill other PCs
5. get even more bored because mods make it all too easy - get more mods kill more players
6. turn what could have been a fun, challenging game into sh$%
7. complain R* does not allow mods!

No online mods please!

Instead R* needs to allow BLOCKING players from a session and permanent block of players that do major damage over and over in sessions - its obvious from their logs when a griefer kills off everyone else in a session for instance.

Rockstar just needs to implement protections to the game just like the mod menus have. At very least they could implement the crash protections. If you have a good menu, you can not be crashed, at all. There is very little another modder can do to you, Rockstar can implement these protections.

Instead of sitting there fixing clothing glitches for the past 9 years, maybe that person could be working on actual protections against modders.

Rockstar sucks, that's just the bottom line. We need to stop paying them money so that they start making an effort. Until we do that, they wont care.

So true. If you're pretty much so screwed in online that you can't survive without buying a menu where is the incentive to spend that money on shark cards? Such a dumb business model unless they are just making all that money from repeat buys from menu bans while literally forcing you to use a menu to even survive their completely unprotected game.
