According to what I've seen, EVERYBODY is getting millions and billions of dollars given by the exploiters.

I am worried as hell that some random guy just gave me all this money for no reason. Such as account termination. Plus many, MANY tank griefers.

How is Rockstar going to fix this?

Oh, this is a whole thing? Yeah, happened to me today, some random player just gave me about 88 million out of nowhere. Didn't know it was happening all over. It was pretty cool to be able to get an Adder sooner than I thought I would, though.

As for how they'll fix it, good question. Maybe they'll just take the illegitimate money away? Perhaps they'll be able to track who acquired money from exploiters so they don't affect anyone who got their wealth legitimately? They'll have to do something about it, ayway.

I doubt they would ban everyone when they all were given millions of dollars without their consent.

They may remove the "illegal" cash, but I doubt it. The amount of effort that would take just wouldn't be worth it with GTA's playerbase.

Also, what's with GTA games getting hacked so easily? I remember GTA IV had a huge problem with hacking on the Xbox, to the point where I didn't even bother playing because I knew almost everyone but me was hacking.

I think it's an Xbox thing, not the game itself.

Here's an article about how it happened, and Rockstar's response:

well thats good that they won't be punishing those who were given money without their concent. I was given a billion last night and i really had no idea what to do with it. I did report the person who gave it to me for exploits and then i played around with my cars in my garage. I did buy a few supercars that i was saving up for but that was it.

I still go after Simeon's cars and hit up bank trucks like normal and try to imagine all the zeros in my bank aren't there to still have fun. Upgrading my new Entity makes all of those custom supercar races a breeze.

Well, if anyone feels the guilt of receiving so much money overwhelming, I would be more than happy to lighten the load..

Great, R* "Invented" the cheater's pool.

There you will stay there for months and get all your money taken away. Even if you got this money without consent, R* won't give a damn about if you were the exploiter or not.

That is how R* is going to handle this, by punishing everybody.

They already punish us by the bad sport system, nerfing the game.

IMO I think everybody who got the money without their consent should keep it. GTA Online is a money sink but not anymore due to this exploit.

In other words, it is fun now than before, is it not?

Not what they're saying.

"The sweeps are based on automated in-game detection, manually reviewed proof submitted by the community and examination of suspicious gameplay figures. If a player is not engaged in any willful exploiting or cheating, he does not need to worry about getting caught up while we separate the cheaters from the rest of the fair population."

Though, Googling around, I am seeing people claiming that they've been wrongly put into the cheater's pool.

Hmmm, one moment, I shall boot up GTA and see if I've been punished.

Yep, just went on there and everything was the same. Still had all of the money, and everything else seemed normal.

Someone threw a few hundred my way yesterday, that's the only free money I've seen out of all of this.

Even if they do take away our money.

What about the vehicles?

Even lets say you got the vehicle in a legit way, but modified it with this exploited cash.

That goes the same for Pegasus.

This may be a big money killer for Rockstar, isn't 1 billion dollars for them enough? I'm tired of people getting better things than me because they use real money to get it.

Although would be a good idea if they could nerf the tank, way to op and annoying if everybody has one and just spams the hell out of them.
