View Full Version : A&F: Why Do I Always Get Less than The Advertised Payout Range 4 Hitting LTQ Targets?

This has been bugging me for months but, until now, I've never got round to raising this issue...

Every LTQ, the targets have a published 'Payout Range' and 60-90% of the time, my payout is less than the minimum shown...

WHY???

case in point...

FTR Enforcer (payout range) $9193-$13790

3 hits done & killed of 1st Enforcer - my payout.... a mahoosive $6,335!!!

& this is with a +35% Jobs Payout Bonus!
(GREE that's a Positive Bonus, not a Negative Bonus!)

it's looks like my Bonus is actually being taken off, not added on...

but that would never happen, would it...???

The best is when you've maxed out to Level 5 and you still get below the posted payoff. I've had this happen to me a couple of times but mostly I just get the lower-middle of the payout. What is the point of maxing out to level 5 if your payout is so much lower. I would think you would be getting the higher end payout. This is on an account that is a tycoon.

Her typical response is that this is due to the modifiers she has.

Why she isn't getting a list straight from the team responsible for creating the event, with the true base values, is beyond me.

RTD: the 'payoff' amounts quoted above, are direct from the Target, in Game...
with my payout falling about 30% short & my character having a +35% job payout mod

not from anything A&F has posted...

just another example of In Game Robbery???

I'm obviously missing 'admin fees' to the Thief's Guild!

I never noticed this before, but just went to check it out. Fancy FTR Thug reward $2349-$3523. My reward $1932 and $1642 the second time? And I have a jobs payout modifier of +45%. How long has this been going on?

Dat Guy... simple answer MONTHS!!!

I'm consistently getting several K below the lowest published Value of the Hit!

Has someone put a Minus in the Modifier Coding!!!???

Anything is possible in this buggy game BUT FACT is We're Getting Screwed again...

3 Targets downed with my overnight Energy Regen on 3 Android Tablets...

2 FTR Guards - Payout Range $11340 - 17010

Received: $7721 & $9870 - Both Accounts supposed to have +35% Jobs Payout!

+ FTR Crimelord - Payout Range $42025-$63038

***Received a paltry $25323*** Again with alleged 35% Jobs Payout Bonus!!!

FFS! That's practically 50% below what you're Programmers are telling me, i'm going to Earn!!!

This has been going on for months now & should be added to the very long list of things that need to be corrected in the game, ASAP!!

This has been going for close to a year. Gree promises prizes with modifiers for all of us spending money, but like always its more gree consumer fraud. I have been sending in tickets for this for at least nine months and have never received a intelligent answer back, but I expect nothing less from a bunch of con artists.

appreciate the response, CJ.

& yes, it is very frustrating.

Some players forget that not everyone has been playing for a long time & that we need every nickel & dime we can get, to help develop our hoods...

I've noticed this too, been that way a long time.

But something that really stands out on my android,

I watch my cash, as I make the kill, my cash spins up, then back down to the lower amount.

Now that is weird!

& what's best about this response, is simply this...

it just shows you that 'sensible threads'; without tons of needless complaints, actually get looked at & added to 'GREE's To Do' list...

Its been happening since I joined...circus tent ltb....watching/needing every penny....sometimes you get an amount that flashes above NPC when hit in green, and in your cash bar....then sudden!y it drops a few K as well....totally bizarre and being new thought it happened to everyone...its like the 25% is being taken,not added...

Just a friendly bump. This is still going on in the Gun Runners LTQ/SLTQ M4 Flunky in Empire Square advertised cash payout $5130 - $7053 my actual payout $3515.
Do you all have any ETA when this may be fixed?

I'm on ios and it's fine..we may have to do it for them..As much info about which device and ver and etc. may help us find the issue ourselves. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

Probably a good idea b-w.
I am on a toshiba tablet with android 4.04

Edit I have a +50% job payout mod

I have always noticed this from the first time the mod was given out. I posted a screen shot and everything. Im not gonna dig through the archives to find it but I believe it was over a year ago. Funny how the most pointless mod Gree can think is even worse than we thought!

well it is indeed still happening...
must be a long list this is waiting on...

not everytime, which is a slight improvement though...

Nexus Tablet: custom pistol flunky $7492 - $10301 Payout $4925 with alleged 35% Mod V 4.0.0.5

2nd hit on flunky was $5695!

Tesco Hudl: machine pistol flunky $3199 - $4398 Payout $2553 with alleged 35% mod V 4.0.0.5


2nd Nexus Tablet: machine pistol flunky $3199 - $4398 Payout $2177 with alleged 35% Mod V 4.0.0.5
2nd Hit $2385
custom pistol flunky $7492 - $10301 Payout $4466 with alleged 35% Mod 2nd hit $5266

Do we have any ETA on when this will be fixed. It is still happening for the very aptly named "Give 'em the Shaft" Ltq.

This is getting really old.

I have been watching and I am experiencing the same thing. Payouts in the 50-75% below the lowest payout amount

Zippy69
04-01-2014, 01:01 AM
And thats with a +50 jobs payout bonus also it must actually be a -50 because I never get the full amount

@Sgtahole:

yep, I said at least a month ago it appears some one put a '-', instead of a '+' in the Bonus coding...

Another LTQ, Same Old **** & yes, it may just be pocket change to all you Big IPH players, but, we're being Robbed Here by GREE (more so than by other players) & this 'small change' soon adds up to the hundreds of thousands of lost $$$.

Getting almost as Tedious as my 4-5 week unanswered Support Call!!!

No offense but you're acting as if you are just now hearing of this. It's like the issues with ltq items. We been telling you guys for months. It's like y'all don't care or can't be bothered.

She was the best employee they have had from my experience, don't blame her for taking a new job in another department. The forums have turned into a ***** fest. Not that Gree has done anything to improve it either.
