Did the same last night. Got fed up of having to walk the stairs from my bedroom every time I joined a new game. Starting in last location is just too dangerous
They should add an option to start in garage.

Have it set to start in last location and just leave the game when you go to your garage. Simples. This way you always spawn in the garage rather than the apartment.
This is what I have to do anyway so my car makes it back to the garage, etc without being impounded or blown up, etc.
Also chances are even if you leave in a hurry and spawn in last location on the map, the map is so big so long as you weren't in a stupid spot like the LSC near the malls and apartments then your pretty much safe but getting a car can be tricky without getting bounty, police, etc.

lol, that's clever though,
I've seen the hunter didn't get into the jet, instead go on foot to chase the guys in cars instead.

I'm sure I read somewhere that you could set your spawn point in the menu. Garage or apt. Give it a looksie.

I've noticed a new trend, people parking vehicles at the garage door.
Happened to me 3 times now in the last 24hrs, once they parked a lorry so I sticky bombed it.
Once I was coming out and there was a Futo, luckily I had my carbonarisso or something and the slope of the bonnet kind of scooped it out of the way. I then had to get in it and reverse it out of the way.
And then the third time someone parked another car into the drive-in, this is Richard's majestic so it's a decline to underground, easily blocked. This time I also noticed a white dot just outside, and it was showing up and disappearing, he was clearly calling up Lester to hide his marker.
Unlucky for him I noticed, I also had with me 2 other friends on the map too so I came out on foot, my friends approached him from another angle and I also called merryweather on him.
I only noticed the car blocking the garage door afterwards too so good thing I came out through the apartment door.

I encountered this last night. Some punk set himself up right outside my garage door (which is a ramp). He had an MG too and a big vehicle as cover. Took me 5-6 attempts to flush him out. I almost raged in the end but ended up hurling about 5 grenades at him and ended his little spree.
I also encountered a really suspicious player in free roam. I have no idea what he was doing (could have just been extremely laggy) but he appeared to be vanishing and then re appearing at different points on the map. He seemed to be able to get headshots during fast drive bys with minimal effort too. It turned into a 30 minute grudge battle between him and half the server. When he finally quit I noticed he didn't show up on my recent players list on Xbox Live too. Just suspect.

Talking about disappearing players.
I had that last week, thought it was something wrong with the game but now you mention it, I think I know what it is.
I got ran over last week when on the map there was no white dot near me. And I could certainly see no cars. I just got ran over and when the 3 seconds death slow-mo scene cuts in, there was no car to be see.
And now your comments….and what I saw last night on youtube I think I know what it is.
What you do is you walk into the LSC with a friend who is driving in. But because you are on foot you don't get to the screen where you can upgrade your car but just walking around.
The trick here is to press Y to get into your friend's car the split second when his vehicle disappears/vanishes. Your friend will go into the normal upgrade menu but your character will disappear completely yet can use all the weapons, drive and everything. Totally invisible.
Now…in this Youtube video the guy got on a bike but the bike was visible, so that doesn't solve the disappearing car problem I had, but it does explain the invisible character.

There are just so many exploits and inbalances online. That is aside from all the money from glitching
I think they need to do away with getting a bad sport for blowing someone's car up when they are in it while trying to run you over ! I think it is fair game if they are in their car. Especially when they can run you over when you are in passive mode. If they are trying to run me over, I want to be able to blow their car out of the sky without consequnces.
Which brings me to the next point, you should be totally passive in passive mode. So as to you can'y kill other players nor be killed, be in the car or not.

It does have the feeling of being utterly brilliant, but ruined by stupid things.
My latest gripe is lives in missions. I've got mates at level 70+ and they get great missions, so I join them. They last for 30 minutes with 4 or 5 stages and all sorts.
But if you are unlucky enough to be the first one to die, then your out, and you spend the rest of the time watching everyone else finish the mission. And you can't drop out and go back to free mode as you get bad sport. Your basically stuck.
There are so many things like this that just have a whiff of no play testing. It did sound like GTAO was late and rushed out the door, and some of the gameplay elements just aren't right.

I also hate the fact that there is no way of dealing with idiots who drives around in a tank.
Someone call I R A Forever from a crew call EIRE was driving around shooting every player on the map in the city.
He had a friend call I R A Love or something in a buzzard, both in level 70+. My subwoofer was going bonkers from all the explosions and the city was like a warzone.
Which is all fine, if there was any way someone at level 36 can fight back. I couldn't make my character invisible yet from Lester so couldn't get close enough to throw grenades of sticky bomb at him. It was just a bloodbath for everyone else.
Other things that I don't like, when you get invited to a mission/race by friends, when you are finished, you can be split up into different servers.
I mean why can't they put us back together in a server that is less busy?
When you are respawn, the passive period should be longer, to about 10 seconds. Got killed before where I for respawn within 10 ft of someone, just because he was killed before me moments before, he was able to use his weapons earlier and shot me again before I could get my guns out or even run far enough to get away.
There is also a weird thing where I would make sure I have maximum amount of ammo but whenever I log back on or after a gun fight, I have to buy a round or 2 for guns that I swear i didn't use - like my pistol. Where do they go?!
