Sorry, but you don't get to dictate how people play their game so the 3rd option of getting basically infinite money from a hacker and rolling around in the leftover like Scrooge McDuck is still valid and good.

Of course I don't get to dictate it but I sure get to report someone every time I have to deal with them and their hacking or money stealing.

So does it upset you when someone owns a T20 they didn't work (read: play video games for an arbitrary acceptable amount of time) for? What's the harm? Why would you report them?

We get it, you can play missions or do heists to buy things.
But if you want to buy a lot of things, or even expensive things, you have to run a lot of missions. And that gets very repetitive and is grindy.

You're more than welcome to run the same boring heist 50 times to load up a garage, but we're fine diving into our vault of ill-gotten gains http://i.imgur.com/IB0KwhK.gif

edit: also it would take doing pacstandard 9 runs, on hard, with minimal losses, with a 40/20/20/20 split, to get a T20. But, if you insist on running the same mission dozens of times, nobody is stopping you.

edit 5: and that's 9 runs for just the T20. you'll have to run it a lot more to buy other things, as well. a lot more.

You clearly should have run Pacific Standard 7 times because a 12-hour commitment is reasonable for one video game car. Alternately you could have paid $50 actual, there is no reason to cheat

Never since this moment did I realize how badly GTAV needs the Deora. Especially if the rumors are true and this next update has hydraulics.

The funniest part is that they actually did interect with GTA Online servers, Social Club in particular if I recall correctly, in order to ensure that potential players would not use pirated copy of the game. :v:

It's abundant as hell if you want to play the same 20 missions a few thousand times. It's grindy if you want to buy a high-end car. A Stirling GT might take at least 50 mission runs - and that's excluding other expenses. Over on PC we're running missions for fun, not to grind money.

The high end cars are also idiot bait. If you're mad that you can't get the 5th new car in a row that's like 1 mph faster, the problem's you.

Exactly. The Zentorno is still a great car and if you're a good driver you can keep up with T20's.

The low hood and high speed of the T20 make it outstanding for ramming cars onto their roof during races. It's the car's best feature.

I remember a week of solidly grinding profitable trade route in Elite II back when I was like 10, just to get the biggest cargo hauler in the game... so I could, uh, haul more cargo for no reason?

It's a mixed bag for me really. I'll happily take any money hackers shower upon me which allows me to buy the fancy new cars that come out but at the same time buying stuff with the ill-gotten money feels hollow. Honestly the best time I had with GTA Online was finally having earned enough money to buy a Comet and a high end apartment legitimately. But some of the best magical moments have involved hackers, like that one time I rode a party bus that shot straight into the stratosphere, and then BECOMING the bus so now it looks like a bus is herp-derping around, or the other time where we all gathered at one dude's apartment who showered money on everyone and there were dead hookers and exploded cars and bikes everywhere, and then he set everyone on fire.

So I think the game is more fun with hackers around, but it does make it seem kinda pointless and turns the game into a glorified chat room with a 100% more murder.
