Saw a post on Reddit that got me thinking about how Rockstar could handle the chaos in GTA 6 Online without killing the fun for everyone. The idea is pretty simple: two server types, Lawful and Lawless.

Lawful servers would be the default for new players. PvP works like Fallout 76 — you can't damage another player or their vehicle unless they shoot back within a short window. The only time you're fair game is when you're doing something that puts you on the radar, like resupply runs or business battles. And here's the kicker: overpowered griefing tools like the Oppressor MK2 or Scramjet would be either banned or heavily nerfed. Tanks, jets, the Vigilante? Those are fine because they actually take some skill. The idea is to let people grind in peace, do friendly car meets, and not get blown up every five seconds. Rewards stay at 1x RP and GTA$.

Lawless servers are the opposite. You need to be at least rank 20 to even join. Full PvP, no restrictions on vehicles, bounties and muggers enabled. Everything goes. But you get 2x RP and 2x GTA$ for your trouble. The risk is higher, but so is the payoff. They could even run special events like "most cop kills in one life" or "most cars destroyed with an Oppressor" to lean into the anarchy.

I'm honestly tired of getting my cargo blown up by some kid on a flying bike while I'm just trying to make a few bucks. This split would let the grinders have their space and the PvP junkies have theirs, with a real incentive to opt into the danger. Heists and contact missions wouldn't be affected since those already happen in private lobbies.

Would you stick to the safe server for chill sessions or jump into the lawless one for double rewards?
