Oh, that explains why I blew up that time...

edit: I think just about all of us remarked that that was the longest time we'd spent in Freemode, and one of the longer GTAO sessions we'd had, so I think the events are somewhat of a success? Definitely more fun to play as a group/crew than with random pubbies, but still. It was also the largest number of PS4 goons I've seen playing together (I'm CaptSpacebeards btw).

Still does, at least on my end. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still incredibly stuttery and asstastic compared to the default stations.

Your latency to a speed test server has nothing to do with your latency to randomly selected Rockstar servers, which is what's used for matchmaking. That's Rockstar for ya!

I got an email saying I'd been banned despite not playing for three weeks. I looked at my account activity and apparently this person used hacks to boost me like 50 ranks. I suppose I don't know for a fact they were Russian but they changed my country setting to Russia.

Tier 1 support can never do anything (useful). They're just there to interact with the customer, so the techs don't have to, and screen for stuff that actually needs support.

I have to say this game can be fun again with no hackers and fun things to do in free mode. Too bad the the player base has shrunk so much.

Just out of interest, does the gold Luxor differ from the standard in any way? Interior, anything? I own a standard Luxor (a bit of a kick in the dick considering they spawn all over the loving airport now), don't really see the appeal in a gold one.

It's Gold, and passengers in the back can smoke cigars and drink champagne in first person. And it'll get you shot down 68.3% faster than a normal jet!

Freeroam on sessions with english speaking players has been mostly modder-free ever since the update. For the past day or so, it's been dumping me into sessions with people speaking in Russian and boxes. Coincidentally, there's a lot of modders in those sessions. Should I be surprised?

Also, when I got near a king of the hill event, I got a prompt saying my aim mode was being changed. Is that because I was near a king of the hill event, or did modders figure out how to switch a session from free aim to aim assist in the middle of the session?

No-one gets that mad about other people getting something for free, as long as they felt that the price they'd paid was reasonable.

So yeah, I'd probably get mad as hell if I'd spent that much money on something I knew in my heart was worth 1/10 of what I was paying for it.
