I have no idea what they did today however as you say, modders still there. Could there be a patch tomorrow??? would make sense if they were implementing something,.... or a ban wave.. who knows.

Modders running away with it. Jumped in a tank, hit an Insurgent 7 times, nothing! Next thing I'm dead and every spawn thereafter, dead until game crashed out. Time to uninstall.

Instead of worrying about cheaters, why don't you guys make a private room/server/session with a password only for Overclockers members ? That would make a perfect solution.
ive given up with gta v online, people camping around the major apartment spawns and killing you from their bulletproof cars as soon as you come out!
Apologies for not joining you tonight Bag, I'd had a couple of beers after getting thrashed at CS:GO so wasn't really sober enough to concentrate on a heistwill be on over the weekend for some action though.
LOL No worries. We were just running through PAC....
Ban wave? not sure if it is a wave or just a ban catch up, anyway... 22 out of the 30 tickets on the R* support forums are ****ed off people who have been banned... Just in time for the weekend.
TBH no, So many adversary modes being added (New one Tuesday) and not much else I would call fun.

What levels are you guys ?
1 Charecter is 370 and my other was 180, however I deleted the 180 and it is now 20...
I requally play with people with ranks from 30 to 750. As a group we have no rank snobbery and are happy to take sub 20 ranks through heists... with a bit of instruction should they be new to the game.
Note on the ban wave... R* have definitely done some anti cheat work during the maintenance. CE money hacks have been detected. Also looking at the R* forum. The majority of people being banned are from China.. Some asking was it because of their VPN use.

What I'm wondering is if the person who received money from such a cheater gets banned ? I have heard that there are many cheaters like that who spawn money for other players even if they don't want it.
You said CE (Cheat Engine) right ? So I guess the money is client side if I'm not wrong, if they would implemented Money on the server side it wouldn't be a problem with it just like in some GTA San Andreas where the money is server sided and until you hack the actual server you can't do a thing to it.
CE manipulates the game tunables and returns an amended variable to the server via a memory injection. What they had been doing was using in game money mechanics. So a race win would be changed from 9K payout to 15 Million. That was hot fixed a few weeks ago down to a maximum 100K. The Next hack was with heist finals. Same thing. However CE would return a new value of 10 Million lets say, as a total pot available. This is then divided by the host split, 50 50 etc and so the one using CE gets 5 mill. (if the other is not using it, then they do not get the increased money and know nothing of the cheat) This has now been fixed... Doing it will ban you almost instantly.
As for money pick ups... Who knows what they are doing. Some say they have been banned for it but I know lots who have received and not banned... However saying all this... The Private Scripthooks/menus are still working fine and I have not seen anything to say that has changed. So proper griefing is still going on.

Well, I just don't understand how such a popular company which makes billions like no more on their games are not skilled enough to secure their multiplayer, if you look around there are so many Free Online Games which have server side money and for hell you can't cheat that, R* is clearly doing something wrong if they can't deal witch such minority like cheaters etc. It's just unbelievable ...
Anyway, coming to a cheaters dropping cash on the players, I have read on the official R* forums quiet a long time ago that someone said if a cheater gives you money and it gets mixed with your legit money, not cheated one which you earned through playing the game and you spend more than you originally had, you are definitely getting banned and in such situation it's better to fill in a ticket to a R* and in a couple of days it should disapear. I myself don't know anything about it since I still didn't played multiplayer but just post what others have said.
Edit: What do you guys think about Leslie Benzies leaving a Rockstar North and suing the studio, will it impact GTA franchise ? I'm finding that rumours about GTA 6 being released in 2017 outrageous, quiet funny to be honest, it's just too fast for a new GTA instalment.

They do have server side money. You can't set an amount via any tool out there. They way they abuse the money stats is buy manipulating the the in game money mechanics. For dropping money, they use money bags. These are a prop with a monetary value that exist in the game. They spawn multiples of those. They use race and heist mechanics that return variables from completion. It's money splits by host, money earned etc. So the game is tricked by it's own mechanics. In order to combat this, R* have (way to late) amended these tuneables. Ie, setting a max variable limit, enabling server side transaction limits. It is a massive game design flaw with P2P. If the game was server based they it would be much more difficult. CE is a very clever tool.
As for taking money away. Well that just shows that they are doing sever side stat checking. However, banning of people who have spent modded money is still in the air. R* says not to be worried if you have dropped money as it will be amended and removed but people post that they have been banned for spending it. Who knows.
Lesley Benzies thing. Yep, massive blow to all of us as he was a driving force for GTA. However there is a massive amount we don't know and will never know. I don't know about the profit share he and the Housers agreed with Taketwo, again all very odd. What I do know is, he was pivotal to GTA. Any loss of that nature is always going to be difficult. You generally don't just replace just the leader of a close knit team without culling some of the most loyal as well, in my experience. So could be more than just him.

Unless gta 6 will be a fixed version of gta5 with a "next chapter" for the current single player chaps, I doubt it will be out next year. As you said, way too fast.
2017 for console considering its been out longer? Q4 at a push, but pc, 2018 I reckon.
As for the money thing. About 5/6 months ago, I got money dropped on me...roughly 10-15 million over the course of a week and I got banned for a fortnight.
However, I had spent some of it(all of it
) so maybe that was why.
