Rockstar: We'll Close GTA Online Loopholes
This should be pretty obvious to most of you, but if you plan on taking advantage of some of the recent GTA Online glitches that have been discovered — like this one which can earn you 7,000 Reputation Points every two minutes, orthis one which lets you resell the same vehicle over and over to Los Santos Customs — you'd better get in quick.
Rockstar has put everyone on notice, publicly, that all glitches they discover will be patched ASAP:
Just to clarify for those who were asking about the adjustment made to mission replay payouts, please remember that we are continuing to regularly balance the dynamic in-game economy and whenever we discover that there are unintended loopholes that some players are exploiting to grind cash or RP, you can expect that we will be adjusting or closing them. By the same token, there are also cases where we're balancing the economy in the opposite direction such as recently reduced penalties for dying. All of this is done to keep things as fair and as fun as possible — please remember that we are looking at not only player data in our ongoing tuning process decision-making but also at your direct input, so if you have any feedback about the in-game economy or any other aspects of the game, please direct it to GTAOnline@rockstargames.com as we are actively looking at all player feedback sent to that address. We thank you for your understanding and patience and please stay tuned this week for more information including timing of the first GTA$ Stimulus Package deposit and the forthcoming new content such as the Beach Bum Pack, Content Creator and Heists.
If you read that whole thing then you'll also know that the recent decision to halve subsequent mission pay-outs was made to try and balance the in-game economy — something that Rockstar are constantly monitoring. This means that if it becomes too hard to earn cash in GTA Online certain elements/missions/etc might be adjusted the other way.
