Grand Theft Auto 5

[Drakul]

Everyone keeps slamming into me and killing each other. I've probably been put in with the bad players because I dared to quit one shooting range minigame days ago (I actually thought it was endless and you just left when you got bored) and blew up someones personal car because I had the gall to go after a bounty and didn't know it was theirs. Why give us explosives if blowing up NPC cars gets us police attention and blowing up players cars gets us a warning about playing nice?

Because NPCs are not players who purchased the game. R* are essentially policing the game. Looking at your complaints, I know for a fact you would absolutely hate the kind of free for all that would exist had R* not regulated certain activities. Careful what you wish for.

The owner still suffers payments. Remember there is an economy R* has to be mindful of, and a game like GTA Online could easily sway in a trouble maker's favor if not for provisions against them. I agree with getting a bad rating for trashing somebody's car.

If people don't want their car wrecked, don't take it outside in a public game. Save it for a solo or private room. When I take my cars out, I don't get all pissy about another player wrecking it. I took it out the garage and drove it around in public. If it's destroyed it's my own fault.
The trouble should only start if someone constantly wrecks the cars of the same player over and over again in a short time peroid. Like if I blew up your personal car 4 times in an hour, then I'd say that's hassling you.

At the very least, the "don't destroy other players cars" thing should be dropped if the player in question has a bounty. Then it's justified. If he's not got a bounty on his head, fine, no destroying his personal car.

I know but this guy was, physically, not there. I saw his blip but he was not there in the gameworld. Doesn't Lester make your blip vanish and not your character?

I just don't like that I am in with the bad players or, at least, on the cusp of being put in with the bad players because I was playing the game properly. If there was a huge symbol above the players car that said "CUSTOM CAR" then I'd not have blown it up to get the bounty.
So, I didn't know it was a personal car, I didn't know there was anything wrong with blowing up a personal car and the game was telling me "Kill this guy and get money", which I did. I then get told off and potentially punished for it.
