Being a freaking criminal and do whatever you want. Imagine playing an adult criminal simulator and telling people not to talk smack and not "grief" people when that was the whole point of GTA. If you want people to be peaceful in gta then give people the GTA IV treatment. Aka custom lobbies with friendly fire on or off. But who the hell wants to play GTA peacefully?

I have a ton of friends that refused to play GTA Online. It's always the same story--they were level 1 and no one would even let them walk down the street. I remember first playing at the end of 2020, and during the tutorial I got pulled into a race. Everyone was at least 70 levels over me, and instead of racing, 2 guys just rammed me over and over again. That was literally my first interaction with the community. When I got to the actual game, I wanted to learn how to play and start making money, so I went to my cargo warehouse, picked up 1 crate and started a sale mission. I flew a plane to the desert, started fighting the NPC enemies and suddenly 3 griefers blew up my plane and killed me over and over again. Thing is, at level 1, you have a pistol and limited money (not to mention pitiful damage), so I ran out of bullets immediately and died about 20 times. If I didn't learn to get myself into a solo public session, I would've quit immediately.

When a million GTA$ costs $20 real cash, only a simpleton is going to work for the reward of 2000 GTA$. I wish Rockstar would've implemented cargo theft. 50% of the goods could be considered damaged, so the thief gets 50% of what the seller would've made. With the current setup, it just forced new players out immediately or convinced them to spend real cash with Rockstar.

I was pulled over in my new Corvette and was arrested and tased, and then was sentenced to 9 months in jail for resisting arrest, eluding the cops with a sports car, and harassment with intent to afflict bodily harm to a fat person. It is illegal to say someone is fat and use 500 horsepower. I encourage everyone to never argue in GTA Online and drive a Coquette or you will spend the rest of your life incarcerated due to America's authoritarian dictatorship.

strange update from rockstar but had to be done honestly, griefing has gotten way out of hand in online

[@BigSmoke-ew5td]

[@and-hi4ny]

Why do people wanna be monitored and control? Y'all better wake up. All this is a control mechanism.

[@and-hi4ny]

And it never was so bad to what you need to be monitored like this. And this doesn't even solve the actual problem. Because people are still going to blow up your cargo and you can't retaliate because if you spawn kills somebody, you have a chance to being banned.

[@Roadtrip-636]

What qualifies as spawn killing in pvp is gonna be a blurry line that causes problems for people I think. Like if you're pvping someone and kill them back to back before they spawn something or kill you back, is that spawn killing? It probably will be when they don't like it and hit report 😂

[@oskimo2101]

[@jamwesd5108]

There is a setting in the Open Wheel races that makes you non-contact if you go backwards. They need to implement this functionality for all races.

[@Delicashilous]

The better Solution is to create extra lobbies where players Can't kill each other. You can use that in options > online > "find friendly lobby" or Something like that. I Think this is a better Solution. Edit: Also, they should do COOP based events & dailies in free lobbies where you can't Damage & kill players that take part on this events/dailies, even as someone who Doesn't take part of this dailies/events.

[@caiuscosades1791]

Exactly. That's what Zenimax and Bethesda did with Elder Scrolls Online and it works. There are areas specifically for PVP and PVE, however they should do lobbies where you can't attack or kill one another, and lobbies that are just lawless hellscapes of jets, tanks, and machine gun toting degenerates. Would make the game so much better.

[@_formallyhappy]

I've always thought this was an excellent idea. The only way I could imagine something like this working is like making everyone a ghost, because Rockstar is definitely too lazy to give people and their vehicles invincibility. To balance it though I'd imagine they'd make Business unavailable or unsellable since that would really break the game if we could all just boost our sale profits without any risk
