At this stage R* will listen because if it is _too_ grindy (don't forget, top paypayout for early GTAO missions was 9K) and if griefers are overwhelming then people will just drop RDO after a few weeks months -- and then R* won't make any of that precious money like they made in GTAO.
I can't draw too many conclusions about RDO yet but I was a little disappointed with the character generation tool.
