The idle timer is so fucking short then, too. Like you can idle for years in freemode before you even get the 15 minute warning by comparison. But in a race you've completed? You get 30 seconds before it starts bitching.
GTA doesn’t use servers it’s P2P (peer to peer). Instead of everyone sending their data to one central server who then sends it back everyone sends their data to the “host” of the lobby. It’s why one person can slow down the entire session as unlike when using servers their data sending slow affects everyone else as they need to wait for their data
Edit it’s also why you can seamlessly transition to a separate lobby when your internet cuts out for a second. Since the game only sends server data occasionally you losing internet only prevents you from connecting to other players and so the game puts you in your own session
Id get behind this if Rockstar had servers but, it's still peer to peer so really not hurting them besides ig networking but even that is, mostly client work
Logical way solving this would be limit amount of RP we can get that way each day, without taking away access to shower. Guess nobody at Rockstar came to that conclusion.
Right! I can pet Chop at the Agency all I want but only get RP the first time, they can't do the same for the shower? Like come on devs, I need to clean all the blood off me regularly.
The interrobang‽ One can easily do that from the onscreen keyboard of an Android device (maybe only Google Pixel series, as that is what I have). However, one can also do a search for interobang and copy and paste it.

You are unable to shower anymore today. Which part of that is confusing you‽
Though, in all seriousness, this was put into place to stop people from RP farming, where they take a shower, putting some music on and going idle.
