Exactly.
I don’t understand all this talk about the microtransactions in online. I’ve played the online for over 1000+ hours, never have had the temptation of buying shark cards, nor was I bombarded with messages telling me I should buy them. They don’t provide any extra benefit to the people buying them, online gives you money without even really trying.
Not sure why people are hating on the online because of them.
You may not use shark cards but many people do. Thus, GTA Online has become a pay-to-win game. Shark card players are using real money to buy the most powerful weapons and vehicles. It's not fair to the people playing legitimately--including you.
But money isn’t hard to obtain in the game. You can get the best weapon/car in the game with just a few hours of grinding. You have to have the skill to be able to use the weapon/car correctly.
Wouldn’t consider it a pay-to-win, you aren’t winning anything in online. It’s an open free-roam, do whatever you want. I rarely played online to go around killing other players. Racing around the map and role playing is what most people do, though you do have that one guy that wants to kill everybody, but it’s not because he spent $100’s on shark cards. If there was a weapon that could only be bought with real money, then sure, I’d be complaining.
Just my take, some people view online differently I suppose.
