GTA Online money glitching: “Rockstar police” go on ban spree

4.7
Sounds as though Rockstar’s getting serious about cracking down on GTA Online money glitchers, with reports surfacing of “undercover” employees infiltrating the community to bust perps.


GTA YouTube DomisLive notes in this video, several prominent YouTubers have been banned over the promotion of money glitching.

YouTubers such as Sir Weed, are apparently being targeted over videos such as this, which shows an exploit to boost bank accounts by millions in minutes:


Rockstar’s increasingly aggressive stance on glitching comes as it builds to the release of Heists, the GTA Online add-on which will supposedly replicates the larger scale robberies from GTA 5′s main campaign.

While no release date has been offered for Heists as yet, constant rumour is pegging the update for the next-gen versions of GTA V later this year. Heists, according to the GTA community, could offer pay-outs as high as $1.5 million per job.

In addition, YouTuber NoahJ456 (who’s also been banned over money glitch violations), rumoured recently that Rockstar employees, whom he dubs “the Rockstar police,” have been entering games to weedle out glitchers before placing them in the Cheaters Pool. Once you’re in here, you’re stuck for weeks.


Money glitching is a major topic among GTA Online players, as the game is notoriously tough when it comes to making cash. Players have long asked Rockstar for easier ways to accrue larger amounts of dollars.

Rockstar has reportedly been hot-patching money glitches with increasing enthusiasm since the last GTA Online update, the Independence Day Special, in early July.

The only current methods to make money are doing jobs (an average mission will net a few thousands dollars), killing people and stealing the cash that drops from the corpse (again, no one’s getting rich this way) or buying in-game currency with real money: The Great White Shark Cash Card, for example, costs £15 (€18.99 on the Xbox Store) and will give you $1.25 million in-game.

The video you have requested should be available shortly.

Lol to the people getting caught for cheating. "It's Rockstars fault for me doing glitches." So what if money is hard to earn, if you don't like it play something else. Don't care if people cheat but if you really have to complain and blame, just stop.

jdog876 Truthfully if rockstar kept their promise and came out with heists on the first day no one would cheat or hack so I agree that cheaters should be punished but I would say the blame totally goes to Rockstar for all the problems that they caused especially with GTA online.
You are wrong. People will still cheat and hack regardless of heists.

BURNING_BARRAGE They should have been doing it a long time ago. If you cheat you should be punished, this game is an rpg so you'll need to grind to get he best things. This game isn't about earning enough money to buy three of the best cars within an hour.


It's people like you that really piss me off! The reason people use glitches is because the economy is out of balance! You shouldn't have to grind missions for hours on end for little cash! Rpg's are supposed to be balanced and not unfair. Hence this is why people looked for exploits! Remember the mission grinding? 9k every 10secs or the 35k every 20secs? People did this since the economy was jacked up! And instead of making it better. Rockstar decided to punish us for every exploit that was released and made it slightly harder to get money per update. Which resulted in even more glitches! If Rockstar did this right then there would be no problems such as this. And of course No heists effected the economy also.

Oh quit your whining. The economy was never "out of balance" until the scum of GTAO ruined it with glitching. Also you're basically saying "i'm too lazy to get something so it needs to be free". Think about the legit players that got high ranks without cheating. Do you think they're complaining about money and grinding?

The_Toxicator Only losers and sad people cheat because they don't know how to play the game.


Because we don't know how to play a game? its GTA there is no set way to play.
We do these glitches so we don't have to grind the same mission for petty cash.

Good get rid of the scum the pollutes GTAO. It's baffling why you need to cheat to get money. I almost feel sorry for Rockstar for having to waste time banning these idiots.

Its R*'s fault. They should have revised the whole ingame economy.
