I don't have much of a problem with it. You can't get anything that everybody else can't get, you can't buy high end gear right away as it needs to be unlocked by regular play first, as far as i'm concerned buying ingame money is just robbing yourself of the fun you have earning the money doing missions.
Might be useful for top end crew vs crew, and for those that lack the time to play much, but I don't see it impacting on leisure play much if any.

Rockstar released a bunch of info about gta online, which will go live October first.
Launch features:
Up to 16 players can enter the world together to partake in everything from:
Planned updates:
The Content Creator: The Content Creator will launch with tools to tailor and publish your own Deathmatches & Races.
The Beach Bum Pack: Featuring 4 new amazing beach fun vehicles, over 300 new items of incredible down tempo leisure wear and 2 new but not remotely relaxing weapons.
Capture the Flag: GTA Online’s take on the classic CTF mode including the ability to make your own using The Content Creator.
Heists: This update will introduce full-on cooperative Heist missions that will require careful planning, teamwork and sharp execution – along with the Heist Planning Board for your apartment.
So In short, looks like we'll be having fun in mp for sure, but not all features will be ready for launch day. All updates will be free of course.
For the full story check here.
Launch features:
Up to 16 players can enter the world together to partake in everything from:
- Open-World Crime and Chaos: Go on your own or round up your friends to explore the open world together – catch a movie, go mountain biking, hit the shooting range and much more. Want to test the law? Knock over a convenience store, take down a gang or rob an armored truck for easy cash and Reputation.
- Jobs: Los Santos and Blaine County are ripe with opportunity for the ambitious and criminal minded. Take on Missions and an array of other Jobs as a lone wolf, team up with your Crew or join fellow mercenaries and degenerates to pull off a wide range of robberies and illicit activities together.
- Races: Everything from classic street competition and off-road tracks to boat racing on the open ocean, or take to the skies in aerial events. Jump into the madness of a GTA Race, or try out a brand new race type, Rally, where driver and co-pilot work together to navigate treacherous courses at high speeds.
- Sports: Join your friends / any random stranger for a game of tennis, a round of golf or go base jumping and more, all for cash and Reputation.
- Customization: Create your character using the Character Creator – then earn some cash and spend it getting dressed for success. You can also collect and customize cars for your garage and personalize your full weapons cache.
- Reputation and Cash Flow: Reputation is earned from all your online exploits in everything you do in GTA Online – and will help you rank up, providing access to new features, weapons and criminal contacts. Spend cash you’ve gained on cars, clothes, guns, properties and much more. You can either quickly accumulate cash through profitable activities like knocking over armored cars, winning street races, doing stick-ups or a host of other cash-making endeavors – or if you’re the completely instant gratification type, you can choose to buy denominations of GTA$. You will have the option to purchase GTA$ through the in-game Store. The game and its economy have been designed and balanced for the vast majority of players who will not buy extra cash. There is no in-game paywall and nothing that should disrupt the balance of the game. You don’t have to spend real money to attain the cars, guns, clothes, flash and style of a high-roller in Los Santos, but can if you wish to get them a little quicker. The economy is balanced differently from the single player economy, and cash earned in one cannot be taken over to the other. Most players will earn cash much faster Online than in Story Mode.

Happy birthday, you.
I tried to steal a freight train yesterday - can't be done. I hoped on a moving train, climbed the cars to the engine, shot the conductor but couldn't get inside.
I then rode it across LS and did some drive by shootings.
Unfortunately both the camera and the character switch are disabled while on the train.

All kinds of people to be found in game, like these mexicans;
And dead people taking a ride. I was driving in hood cam and never noticed that this dead guy that I hit somewhere on the way was in the back untill I got out, lol
A nice scenic spot I came across....
The view (and viewdistance) is awesome at times.
Trevor having done a kamikaze landing at the lighthouse
Even Trevor decided to save this damsel in distress. I guess he was sober.
Yep, this is GTA V as well. Just after taking this pic the enchantment of the moment got broken by the zobies mum calling him on his celphone...lol.
This astronaut got cocky, bad choice when you're in gta v.
Trevor has all ingredients ready for a fun evening with some friends.

Just taking my Boeing 747 for a quick trip to the beach
Taking off was.... problematic. The local residents weren't too impressed with the noise...
Not a bad landing!
This game can be really quite impressive at times
