I completely agree with the idea that we PD should work on making the game better and less focus on hurting the glitchers.
It's the same idea as spending more money on schools rather than spending more money on prisons.
Make the non glitch options better and less people will need to even consider glitching.
People are too wrapped up in the symptom and not paying attention to the cause: the otherwise unfinished and broken aspects of the game.
Let whoever wants to glitch glitch. It can't be that much longer before everyone who was just glitching because they can has now maxed out their coefers and is done anyway. Hell by this point (3 glitches in) I am surprised there is anyone left who HASN'T glitched their fill.
At that point all that is left is people who were not glitching before but have now reached a point at which the games broken setup makes it no longer fun for them and the only choices are shelve the boring grind of a game and give up on the outrageously expensive cars or glitch some money and overcome PD's poor design.
At that point how is glitching really bad?
Then we are left with the group who have no use for glitching ever... let me ask you who fall into this group, your worries you might run into someone online who has an expensive car they didn't EARN... which would you rather have in 6 months:
All glitches shut down after probably 80% of the people who would glitch have glitched their fill anyway.
Or
Some patches to legitimate game play issues that make the game better and more fun?
If you chose the first one you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.
And before anyone says "they should play the game RIGHT and earn the cars by grinding like the rest of us REAL players"...
Don't throw stones... your walls seem to be made of melted sand.

R Focus on patching glitches means game stays as unfinished as ever and many people will be done with it as they can't be bothered to grind the ridiculously long way to decent money. Only people who benefit are smug "hardcore" gamers who like to feel their expensive in game cars have earned them some kind of respect that would be lost to glitchers. Nobody wins.
Focs on patching the game and everyone gets a better game, many glitchers may not even care about glitching anymore as it's more fun to play the game than glitch. Everybody wins.
