I Don't Like This & Rockstar Needs to Fix it... (Rant)

Been playing for 8 years and I’m happy too say I’ve never spent any real money on this game apart from the actual game itself, the way it should be.

I've been playing 8 years as well, going on 9 in February, and I've only purchased 2 shark cards. Other than that I've earned almost 600 million all through grinding. 💪

yeah, its a pain in the ass getting guys to help you. Had a couple low levels in the lobby bitching about wanting money but they just wanted to join a cayo heist for 50/50 lol. I joined my buddys lobby and we sold his acid. Took 20 ish minutes I made 10k from "working for him" and I got 34k when we sold all the acid. Was decent pay but he got 600k. Now granted, he set it all up and had a large out of pocket, but it would be better if he could sent a higher pay out. Could help low levels. We do everything solo and meet up every few days to help each other with sells. It is what it is.

[@solas444]

I actually make a decent amount in gta online off the businesses I acquired but it took me time to get all businesses the one that makes me the most money is my nightclub which averages 200k every 3 hours of playtime then my agency and warehouse an easy 100k but you gotta constantly send your assistant out to get goods and I don’t know how you accumulate money off the agency with Franklin other than doing contract missions and then I have the casino which gives me casino jobs and then I got a marijuana farm through my biker warehouse all of which I had to obtain each over the span of 5 years so I would agree that is a long term thing but they do bring in some type of money as opposed to replaying missions

[@tibiceltare]

How is it long term? I got my money back from the tow truck missions alone and it’s been only a week

[@EpicGamerBruhHD]

I honestly feel like cooldowns can be a good thing when not made too long, they payphone hits, vehicle cargo and dr Dre contract are just fine, and if you have a lot of different activities with short cooldowns then you can create diverse gameplay because you’re forced to swap them out often. It only becomes a problem when an activity has a cooldown of more than one in-game day though.

[@kjaked39]

I don't think the Dr Dre contract has a cooldown, I remember a week ago just immediately starting it back up at the agency right after I finished the finale

[@danielszabo7988]

1. I completely agree with the things you mentioned in this video. However, I am pretty sure they will not let us buy the new 3 million car for 20k after doing a 30 minute robbery. We are talking about Rockstar, that would be way too overpowered in their mind and I think they will only let you buy certain vehicles that are not too expensive. 2. I have been talking about this since the first time they nerfed cayo perico. I was fuming about that cooldown because I am a solo player and a grinder at the same time, and I enjoyed playing that way. If I wanted to I played 5 cayo pericos a day and I didn't get bored of it. I don't think that locking the best way of making money in the game behind a huge cooldown is the way to "encourage" other players to play together or try other businesses. The most irritating thing for me about that was that they hyped cayo perico up saying that this is a solo friendly heist and they want to give solo players a better experience and better way to make money. And after saying this they decided to nerf it to the ground and ignore those players they were trying to please. 3. I understand that it's not a good thing that most of the playerbase were grinding the same heist over and over again. However, I don't think that what they did is the solution for the problem. Nerfing payouts, adding cooldowns, locking content. The prices are insane in the game (5-6 million for the new cop cars for example), so instead of nerfing cayo over and over again I think they should try to make the other money making methods more appealing. There are a lot of ways they could do that (buff those payouts a bit, make casino heist playable solo with less payout, etc.) 4. When cayo perico came out I have been playing this game almost nonstop. I was motivated to make money and buy all the businesses and vehicles I wanted. But now with all the nerfs and the disregard of pc players (locking a lot of content behind PS5/Xbox Series S/X) I have 0 motivation left to play alone. I launch the game and after 10 minutes I close it because I don't have the mood to play.

I want GTA 6 to have better/more realistic pricing. I feel like why stuff like Cayo is so appealing is cause of the payout, if things in this game only cost a few hundred thou rather than a few million, people would be more open to doing a variety of missions and activities, but since what ever gives you the biggest payout is the easiest farm, it makes the game stale imo.

A suburban shouldn't be over a million, a civic shouldn't be over a million, a hellcat shouldn't be over a million. It's disgusting and exploitative.

[@ljphoenix4341]

agreed. The fact that the new Karin minivan costs more than so many fast super/sport cars from 2013 to 2017/8 is crazy. We want to buy the new vehicles, yet we're forced to do SO much grinding because of how much the cars cost, it ruins the fun of a new car.

[@showaker4755]

what you mean? over a million dollars for a Honda Civic isn't realistic? # million for a police cruiser and 5 million for a police challenger aren't realistic? I remember when the Zentorno first came out and heists weren't a thing so we had to grind jobs like og rooftop rumble for a few hours to get it. Don't get me wrong, I love all the new content but I feel like if they're going to make inflation that bad they should also raise the payouts for everything. That's how inflation really works. Instead what they're giving us is more like a depression or recession.

[@Ray94Adu]

Great video as always! I think they are trying to keep the player base ingame as much as possible. In my opinion I think they could do this weekly vehicle robberies something as with Forza Horizon as you get in weekly to get certain cars. It would make the players login regularly and do the missions. One high end car (as Grotti Turismo Omaggio in the first week) and 2 other lower grade vehicles. So we can keep one (the cool car) and grind the money as we sell the other two. Doing this thing for months in order to cycle through the vehicle list would make sense, at least until they come up with another DLC.

[@johnnyredd360]

I completely agree with this, it's so annoying I was so hype to replay these missions bc they're really fun! But the cooldown is absolutely absurd

[@SpeedHomeAttack]

If R* truly cared about players playing other heist to balance the game out, they would actually…you know…Go and balance the pay to make it make sense. Example: Aside from challenges, there is 0 reason to ever run the Doomsday Heist to try and make money. It’s takes the longest to not only set up, but also complete as well as it’s the hardest heist currently in the game. But the payout isn’t reflected in that, yet R* can’t figure out why people spam Cayo or Casino Heist. R* wants to punish players for getting too good at missions and making money too quick cause “it’s breaks in the game economy” . Yeah cause an MK2 costing 8mil is player friendly, especially when you have to buy a terabyte to store it, then a Night Club to store that and spend even more money just to put missiles on the bike. There’s no defense for R*, they never cared about balance only money.

[@Dasani_water_drinker]

True. The Doomsday is ass at the work and pay. Ridiculous. Understand that they do HATE their customers. Theyve made a killing with this game and its still not enough. They still allow modders and ghost mode crap but don’t punish those people. Instead they punish the people who are loyal and use all their services in game.

[@Epic_R3K47]

I remember me and my irl friend playing the doomsday heist. It took us 30 fcking tries to finally finish that annoying heist.

[@Durbanite2010]

The thumbnail was hilarious, TGG. Good job! The tow truck missions are the real money-spinner. 2 cars can be disassembled at once over 48 minutes with the staff upgrade at the salvage yard, which is usually in the range of $60k-$70k every 48 minutes for what amounts to 5-8 minutes of work in the towing itself, which is more often than not without police involvement as the cars are typically low value, e.g. Futo, Fusilade, Baller, Voodoo, Banshee. Add the salvage yard safe ($48k) to the nightclub safe ($100k), arcade safe ($7500 or so) and Celebrity Solutions Safe (up to $40k) and you have some pretty good passive income over 48 minutes in-game. Adding that to the Yohan source and staff warehouse source missions and good money can be made every 48 minutes. Also, 1 car per 24 hours seems a good number (like the casino wheel), hopefully R* can fix that and maybe change the just the buy option to 1 car per week - that way, the salvage yard can make more money and you have to put some thought into which car you *really* want.

[@Muppy2k]

There is only 5 it seems, but after you have done them the time gate will be lifted.

[@cd5sircoupe]

The one instance of Rockstar's meddling that really pissed me off is only tangentially related to GTA. During the RDR2 Online beta, they realized players were session hopping at certain places around the map where players could loot ammo, jewelry, and other supplies that were hard to come by. They decided that players can't do that and implemented a 48min cooldown on the loot... that was one of the final nails in the coffin for me and I straight up just quit playing RDRO shortly after that. I hear they've made some significant improvements to what's available over the years but I've had no desire to go back.

[@jarvindriftwood]

This really feels like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. The players that are the most vocal are the ones that play the most, they want to find easter eggs or share an OP way to get through a mission (early Rooftop Rumble...up to Stab City Survival dumpster, Casino Heist Police Chopper, etc). This update stops them from doing that so they're going to complain. That said, I do think it's a good update since it's been way less difficult than some of the previous stuff with constant aimbot enemies and limited weapons/vehicles.

[@Robert-pt2jz]

I agree a week is too long, honestly a day wouldn't be too bad for several of the activities and could help players diversify their money making and maybe not burn out so quickly. Honestly I feel a lot of businesses/heists need a payout increase to make them more relevant, like all the MC businesses, like sure it's some nice passive money, but really with the cost of some of these nice jets, the service vehicles and what not, it would take forever for someone starting out to get to where they need to be. Like the bunker for instance, you make like 130k every 2 hrs with an upgraded bunker doing solo sell missions, just to by a terrorbyte without any upgrades it would take you 20 hrs relying on this business alone, and the simple fact is, most people aren't going to be hitting that perfectly every hour Bringing businesses on par with cayo perico would help players enjoy other aspects of the game and with the purchase cost creep over the years it's much needed

[@rogerbayless]

to be completely honest, I don't think it's about diversifying money making, but rather making it to where the people who hate excessive grinding want to buy shark cards. That's why they keep nerfing good money making business (such as cayo) and keep releasing cars at or above $1 million even though their real life counterpart is like $30-40 grand.

[@AndersHass]

Given one of the options for the car heist is to sell it, it would make sense you can only do that once then you can just salvage it if you wanted to keep earning money. The salvaging takes time and limited space so there is already a method to stop people from keep doing it that way. Edit: The buying yourself could be limited because it takes time for you to be able to use it (like making fake registration and what not). The sell value could be 0 or something to make people not just sell the vehicles afterwards for profit. Edit: The benefit of the document forgery could be you need that to do it once per week, then with the staff and equipment upgrades makes it possible to do it 2 more times per week. I believe the document forgery just makes the buying cheaper which can be dropped if they go with my suggestion instead.

[@Nitroh-]

Yeah, simple solution in my opinion would be to slightly reduce payments per times you do each mission but allow as many times as you want per week. Also not able to buy the vehicle etc.

[@beatzis1195]

The main problem with gta online is that you grind missions to buy bussinesses, just to grind missions again. There's lots of playlists but the main gameplay is doing repetitive missions, over and over. There is no immersion, just content. Public lobbies on pc are still a disaster so for an online game, you mostly end up playing solo sessions. I think that rdr online is much more immersive, despite there being little to no content/updates. I hope rockstar learns from gta online and rdr online when they launch gta 6 online.

[@SoFly415]

As a legitimate billionaire who hasn’t purchased shark cards, modded/dupe characters, GTA+, or run b2b exploits, I can say Rockstar doesn’t like me very much for actually playing the game and not falling for their gouging tactics. If you want to be or already are a grinder you must use your time wisely while maintaining balance. Always have something in the background filling up. Some things don’t take long, while others such as Cayo and now the new business in this video are going to have long cooldowns. Think of it like seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, etc. Some businesses, heists, & other money makers will be quick, while others take longer. Plan everything out, do something productive (or fun) while waiting for the various cooldowns. Maximize the quick money (because it adds up) while preparing for the bigger money. Because every so often they’ll all line up and you’ll get a huge payday! So far the most I’ve made in one week was just under $100 million! And it would have been more if I had more time. Good luck!

[@thewhitevan9094]

The cooldown partially makes sense because some of people were getting tired of the game because of burnout from grinding so much (I speak from personal experience) but there were so many other ways to go about it. For one, they could have increased payouts of other stuff. They could also make certain things more solo-grinder friendly. There were other alternatives to the cooldown nerf. Even if they stuck with it they could have made it more reasonable like 1 in game day. Recently, I haven’t been playing cayo, I’ve been trying to do other things. And I’ve been enjoying the game a lot more. But if you are trying to get players to do other stuff then why discourage them from the things that you want them to do with cooldowns? I feel like for the new dlc the cooldown is just too much. I’d be fine with a cooldown like 1 or even 2 days but like 1 week is way too much

Things like the oppressor being 3x the price and the cayo cooldown being longer than it used to with less of a payout have been really discouraging to me. I’m hoping to get GTA 6 right away so I can start on a level playing field! Thx for the videos man!

I get the point about not stopping the player doing missions, but they want the control of which cars you will be able to buy. Because even if we could only buy 1 or 2 cars each week with the new feature, allowing us to play more car robberies would allow us to keep re-rolling the cars we have have in the salvage yard until we have the cars we want to buy, and for them that would be too OP.

[@peterdreck8446]

what many dont get is that adding a cooldown to Cayo and nerfing the loot was actually healthy for the game and its economy. But what they should do instead is to allow players to play the content, and just nerfing the loot that you get for the replays per week. E.g. 90% 2nd time, 50% from 3rd time on. Percentages are obviously debatable, but in general this concept could be applied to the most paying activities. This way keeping them attractive without making them problematic. And yes to what you also said in the video, just limit the amount of obtainable cars, easy.

[@Em_B]

Rockstar's only motive to make content is to make money, maybe not the individual devs, but the company as a whole. That's the point of companies. Rockstar, by making games, have two main ways of making money, either getting the money directly from players i.e shark card microtransactions or (rarely) making a new game. The other option they have to make money that not many people talk about, is to get as many concurrent and returning players as possible, in which they can then go shot to investors and say "look at our large and dedicated playerbase! We're a low risk high reward company worth investing in!". So with those two facts in mind, you can then realize why rockstar likes to drag stuff for as long as they can like with drip feed content or long cooldowns. It's to make sure you play they game as long as possible, maybe not in one sitting, but you'll come back week after week helping them boast their numbers showing off their returning players. If you don't want to be stuck in that loop, then you'd simply pay to break it with buying shark cards.

[@Em_B]

things like daily challenges, limited time battle passes, limited time events, sales, promotions, and so on are mainly there to get you to log in just one more time. It makes much more sense as to why so many games are constantly updating and changing their games post-launch now. Having a playerbase you can point at and tell investors that they'd never leave guaranteeing a base minimum playerbase at all times looks really good on paper and to people with deep pockets wanting to make more money.

Don't start your comment telling me that I don't understand any of this when you don't know these basic facts. There's no such thing as "enough money" for corporations, they want exponential growth.

I would be extremely surprised if Rockstar even acknowledged that people aren't happy about the cooldowns. They don't care about correcting their bad decisions. People were absolutely outraged when they removed like 180 vehicles from being obtained just because they wanted to "streamline the in-game shopping websites", and many people in a few hours drew up a way better solution to this problem (there were a lot of solutions, and no, they wouldn't make a lot of money by re-releasing those vehicles on GTA+, its a bad decision in every way), yet they remained quiet and didn't say or do anything. They will likely do this time and time again, and hell, it works, most people just forget, but its still disappointing.

[@AtomicPuma9]

I think the introduction to cool downs is healthy for the gameplay itself. Now hear me out. These cooldowns are pushing me to interact with the cargo warehouse, vehicle warehouse, contracts, etc. These keep the game fresh and I get that some people just want to optimize how much money per hour, trust me, I was there too, but with less than two years left for GTA 6 I’m just having fun with the game, exploring it to its fullest and going back to the old content we got years and years ago and forgotten about when Cayo got introduced has been pretty refreshing and well has brought new life into the game for me. This update is great (still like the contract just a bit more due to the music and feeling of it) but besides that I love the update. We all have basically all the different businesses by now and it’s not too bad to get them all either if you don’t. You can still make good money with the chop shop but it’s more passive than active pay. Kinda like the auto shop but more so passive, and I like that, ever since the original heists came out I had wanted more passive income that I really didn’t need to do much to make sure I still had money coming in while doing contact missions or messing around in freeroam with my crew and friends. And well, this is that. And the ability to buy cars we steal for a discounted price (even if it was $100k-$200k per car) that is an amazing addition to the game as I’m someone who only spends money on cars I REALLY want and not really interested in spending $2 million on an SUV that’s more worth like $600k. This business solves that.

[@Drilbet90]

Thinking Rockstar is going to allow us to buy the chop shop cars for an extra 20-30k is extremely hopeful, my guess is it'll only be like a 10% discount on the retail

[@LeChatALunettes]

Exactly, maybe 20% discount but that's it. 95% discount would be the end of the inflated economy they worked so hard to create since 2013, even if the cars you can steal are random and you can't chose which car you get. I'm curious to see where they get this information on the $10k buying

[@abrown5516]

Another thing they did with the Auto shop along with the update now the Auto shop now the service vehicles change daily regardless if you start upgrading them or not!

[@Longsword814]

The cool downs and the drip feeding is frustrating. If they want us to play other gameplay then buff the other business's

[@Draconamous]

I think part of it has to do with income as well. Because even if they allow us to redo the missions on a very deflated gain. Say 30-40 k per car. A good player can sell 2 along with the normal chip shop cars. Meaning total income would be like 200k per hour. Add on top all the other safes, nightclub, bunker, and cargo warehouse employees. And the hourly gain is pretty ridiculous.

Totally agree with everything you said. I just want to play the missions because they are fun and new. I honestly could care less about the payouts at this point. I've been playing for 2 years and I pretty much have everything that I wanted. I just want to enjoy the missions. So if they are worried about us buying multiple cars, then limit how many times we can buy a car a week from the business. Heck, increase the price if they want to. If they are worried about the grind, then lower the payouts each time you repeat the mission on a day or even a week. That or add a lower cooldown. That's probably the closest win-win situation for both Rockstar and the players. We get to enjoy while some people still get to buy shark cards. Just let us have fun. The game is on its last years anyway.

[@Lemon-x-]

it's wild that they straight up lock you out of playing the content. I don't think I've seen that type of way of limiting players in any game I've played. I've seen devs limit the loot you can get from an activity (like destiny 2's raid loot, which also got changed because they realised it wasn't great to artificially time gate players lol) but stopping you from playing the activity all together is just insanely janky design. Like you said, if they wanted to limit the amount of cars we could buy then just limit that exact thing. Heck even tack on a decreased sell amount for repeated sales as well if you wanted. It's just insane that any developer would lock you out of playing part of their game.

[@IWillSaveBob]

I definitely look at it optimistically. Spamming Cayo (like we all have) 100% just made the game 1 dimensional. I stopped doing my usually crates and cars when it came out. But now with the cooldown I have a routine of what I do in those 2.5hrs waiting for my next cayo. Especially with all the new things in the game!

[@toastbutters2125]

Gta Online is a game that wants you to spend and invest time. Not by making it fun or producing engaging content, but by making it grindy. If a player spends a lot of time with a game, he gets attached to it. So let's timelock heist so that players have to return in 45 minutes, 2 hours or even next week. Also with the car robberys returns a old problem. Most of the mission time is spent traveling. Getting from point a to b and not playing the actual content, but driving your car and flying your plane. Weevil robbery had me travel 3 times from the city into the upper half of the map. I think this design is anti player. It's not designed to be fun. It's setup to make players return to the game. Grind the same stuff, get tired of the game, but you invested so much time into the game you don't want to leave.

[@Jellofreeze]

About the Chop Shop not paying out much: I invested over 5 million on everything including the wall safe. After 6 days of casually collecting Night Club wall safe money, Maze Bank mixed goods, Auto Shop customers, and Chop Shop Tow Truck missions, I earned 8 million back. The Tow Truck really helps when waiting for Auto Shop cars to spawn. Not to mention I havent even sold my 3 high valued cars yet which would put me at 1 million additional money. About the cool down: I find 2 out of the 3 missions are a pain in the ass honestly. I am not in a mad dash to repeat them . I'm ok with waiting a week because my goal is to enjoy those vehicles on display at my Chop Shop. This week I plan on filling the 4th empty space with a new vehicle then sell the ugliest one an keep the most flashy vehicles to admire. If we get nicer cars to steal and I need space then I'll sell one. Most of your characters should be O.G. by now so just enjoy the game casually. The grind phase should be over by now.

Im not sure if you guys are playing it right but i make nearly 900k-1mill with 4-5 hours of play and goofing off.

There's always 100 million spare dollars in my Maze account. That's how I know it ain't hard to make money in GTA online.

[@HurstTheHybrid]

@@minthouse6338 I agree with this. Of course I had my account since 2014/15 when it first came out. And for as long as I have been goofing off (I don't grief since I mostly pay attention to just hang out with friends and just do funny stuff) I agree with you. It's so easy to make well over 100 mill. Since I first started, the game says I have made 723 billion. I only spent $60 on a shark card on the 360 days. But E&E, Dr*g labs, bunker, nightclub. Just doing the bare minimum of things with those. You can easily get up to 28 million with 5 hours of play time per day for a week. This salvage yard stuff is literally meant to be Goofing off and have fun while your money increases significantly.

[@nerf3664]

I believe the cool downs are the right way to go. They need to up the money for payouts and put a lot of these on once a day/week and or diminishing returns. They are trying to pace the game so players keep playing over time and not just burn out right off the bat. Next up is subscriptions and paid DLC, its a business! As for why you can't wrap your head around it, you aren't in the planning or any part of the development/business model. You are looking at this as a consumer, specifically a video game consumer (most are insatiable). Let the cooks cook!

[@alexiscostoulas]

this is the exact reason why i didn't even bothered buying salvage yard, it not only the week cooldown but also the time you need to make this business profitable. Acid lab cost is 1 mil plus 1 mil the upgrade and you can make half million every 2-3 hours while needing only 10-15 minutes.
