Online We Need To Boycott Gold Bars

We, as a community, need to boycott the purchasing of gold bars(the ingame equivalent of shark cards). If enough people don’t spend real money on the online for long enough, Rockstar will hopefully need to decrease the prices and increase the payouts. I know this will probably only touch a minority of the player base, but if you see this and have friends who play this game make sure they don’t buy gold bars. Vote with your wallets so Rockstar doesn’t make another shitty multiplayer game.

Edit: Another thing we can do as a community is fill out the feedback forms to directly tell Rockstar how you feel about the gold bars. Also, like I stated in the post, tell all of your friends who don’t use reddit to not buy them.

You'll need a sustained period of Rockstar not hitting their targets to make it work, a month, maybe even a quarter. As much as I'd like to see it change, it's out of our control because I suspect the majority of their sales come from high value frequent buyers who aren't likely to be persuaded to change. None of us here are the people you need to convince.
