At the beginning of December, Rockstar Games released an update to GTA Online called A Safehouse in the Hills, which brought the return of Michael from the GTA 5 story and a luxurious mansion. However, the biggest surprise of the update was the addition of the Mission Creator tool. Rockstar described Mission Creator as a detailed and comprehensive tool that allows players to design and publish their own missions using advanced mechanics, custom objectives, customizable characters, and many other options. But instead of positive reactions, the tool quickly became a source of discontent within the GTA Online community. Most of the criticism is aimed at Rockstar's strict moderation. Multiple users have been banned from the game for using real names, certain real-life events, certain poses, and other content deemed inappropriate. Here are some examples:
The mission images you see above are still available for bookmarking on the Rockstar Games Social Club at the time of writing, but it's only a matter of time before they are removed. If you plan to create your mission with the latest mission creator, the actors or action of the mission must not match any real person or event. Iskustva sa zabranama i neprimjerenim misijama podijelili su i korisnici na Redditu.
Osim toga, igrači ističu kako je Mission Creator izuzetno kompleksan za korištenje te opterećen tehničkim problemima, uključujući greške sa spawnanjem NPC-eva i objekata, neočekivane promjene u flight modu, kao i stroga memorijska ograničenja koja onemogućuju izradu većih i ambicioznijih misija. On the other hand, Rockstar is trying to prevent abuse of the system, such as AFK farming and exploiting missions for quick money. Because of this, Mission Creator became a point of conflict between the creative ambitions of the players and the developers' need for game control and balance.
