My online player's stats have reduced/are wrong

[soopytwist]

My rank 35 online player's stamina, shooting, stealth, driving and lung capacity were all 100%. The last time I played online would have been November 17th. When I fired up online today my characters shooting, stealth and lung capacity have all dropped slightly - no longer 100% I'm also pretty sure my strenth was higher than 1 and half bars to come to think of it after playing lots of golf.

Firstly, what the f'k?

Secondly when did start online it started with a different online player I created back in November so I swapped to my main player character - except most of the stats are waaaay lower than what they should be and yet once the player is loaded the stats are correct....apart from the problem above in paragraph one where some of them are no longer 100%.

So again, what the f'k?

Stamina, Shooting, Strength, Stealth, Driving and Lung capacity (not shown) should be 100%.

This was a problem with the Xbox version back in the day. Your stats would slowly decay if you never put any work into them but most people were split between whether it was a actual feature or if it was a problem with the servers because the GTA 5 servers when they first launched on Xbox 360 were horrific, rollbacks, character deletions and overall unplayable.

Since the PC version has come out I haven't seen any stat decay at all so I thought they fixed it but like you I had some stat decay a day ago on strength and swimming, the two stats I don't use so it makes sense that they decayed a bit but they went to about 95/98 instead of 100, so I had to briefly farm them.

Can't really tell you what it is, I tried to find out years ago and rockstar never gave anyone a proper answer. With the servers overloaded with cheaters and people getting crashed I'm not surprised that stat decay has come back after so long though.

Oh great. I'm 39, I can't sit on my arse and play GTA Online every day/once a week/once a month or whatever is required to stop them decaying.

Fine, if that's how Rockstar want it I'll just stop playing completely, then they'll end up at zero and there really won't be much point playing again. I spent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ages increasing those stats to 100, why should I have to keep topping them up? F'you Rockstar.
