PEOPLE ALWAYS QUIT!

[BigBlunts]

does anyone ever actually complete a heist or try it more than one time?

[Softspokenman]

biggest mistake most make are trying to tell others what to do instead of getting them to agree to a plan

if players keep quiting on you ask yourself what you are doing to make them not want to play with you

Playing with randoms is disaster >90 percent of time... I only do hiest with friends now

[StirKrazy]

Can join my crew if you're looking for Heists and CEO ♥♥♥♥, all of my crew have a biulding and often do Heists, with friends is key

If I join a random heist/setup and see it's set to anything other than Hard and Player Saved Outfits, I'll usually leave. Especially if the other players are too low, and are talking in boxes.

You have to realize that the other people don't want to waste their time wiping endlessly, and if they see settings that indicate the other player(s) have no idea what they're doing, and don't feel like spending a few hours trying to help them (which often is pointless as they don't speak/understand English) they aren't likely to stay.

Iam leaving after 3 attemps in most cases.
In some mission i leave after first fail like the ps Postwaggon mission, when one of the brainiacs wasnt smart enough listen to lester and hits the target

I will usually give it 3 tries, but there are time when I just know that it won't be possible. Why? Because the host, YOU, didn't set Player Saved Outfits so no one has heavy heist gear. Second, there are low level players along that can't possibly survive without heavy heist gear. And finally, these low level players won't listen or follow simple directions and so there is no possible way to protect them and keep them alive.

Do yourself a favor and always set Player Saved Outfits. If I don't see that and I see low level players also in the heist, I quit before the heist starts. It shows that the heist leader is completely incompetent and so you have one guaranteed idiot who doesn't know what they are doing. Chances of failure are very high.

The community and culture made within the GTAO universe is so toxic. People will quit purely out of spite. People will quit if they give up on you in the first 15 seconds. People will quit because they sense other people will give up and quit.

There's nothing you can do about it, except make friends with people 1 on 1 and slowly build up a team, just like Micheal and Trevor did. So in a way, its realistic, but with a technical angle that is the inconvience and not you ending up in prison lol.

This is why being a decent person, even if you can't be positive, is extremely important. The first couple hundred thousand people in the online world defined the mini-culture that exists inside of it, and now its a cess pool grief fest full of angry and spiteful degenerates.

I played online for all but a month before the hackers, creeps, griefers and emotionally unstable people broke me and cause me to just move on. But it only took me a week before I got a solid group going. I strongly advise you take some down time, run around the world doing simple stuff like robbing stores or just playing around, maybe getting wanted and doing a last stand in a defensible area, and text people you interact with. I made my first two reliable friends by picking them up after a robbery they did after their cars got banged up by arriving police. They both gave me a split of the loot, we got ahead of a train, jumped in the carriages and were home free. We ended up texting each other on the phones and played together when ever we saw each other online. Its the only good memory of GTA Online I have. But the entire microcosm of the online culture makes the entire game an up hill battle, where no one wins and everyone is a loser that sinks further and further underwater the longer you play. Honestly, if it hasn't agreed with you, even if its a great game, just get out of there man. You don't want even 1% of your personalities development to be taken over by frustrating degenerates. People CAN ruin a game, so you have to put the amazing game aside and wonder if its really worth the trouble.

Sometimes they have to do a chore or some ♥♥♥♥ like they just got called to open the door or some ♥♥♥♥ and they're doing something like teh pilot and they can't just land it or risk crashing it. Also, they don't want to get flamed so they just leave

A chore? What are you, like 12? lol.

Other than that, I agree, I once had to leave because my chicken was about to burn.
