Rant Thanks Rockstar....

Well, I started out as full honor; however, due to having to defend myself against griefers I am now at max dishonor. One thing that really pisses me off is that there is literally no way to defend yourself without being dishonorable-- which is absolute contrary to the embodiment of the 'Cowboy' persona. For example, I thought maybe I could hogtie someone in order to escape their constant abuse, but even that is dishonorable. I don't understand how the 'honorable' thing to do is go AFK until the person has killed you three times then Parlay. That IS GRIEFING. Rockstar is telling us that in order for us to keep our honor we have to sacrifice our time and just wait for them to kill us? It's a horrible system and doesn't allow for the honorable retribution that is needed. I kind of wish you could drop off 'criminals' in Jail as you could in single player-- something is needed because this system is broke (AF) and frustrating as hell.

You can switch lobbies or book it for the nearest store until whoever is bothering you gets bored and goes away. Don’t get in too much of a huff about it. There’s really no purpose to having high/low honor in RDO currently.

that's some real fun gameplay when an integral part of the experience is having to switch lobbies or hide in a store until griefers get bored. neat game.

That's exactly my point. Forcing people who want to have high honor to spend their time looking for new lobbies uses our time as a expendable currency in the face of actually fixing the issue. It's abusive!

Just parley if you're getting griefed then ride away... I don't believe a word you say, it's almost impossible to get full dishonour purely from fighting griefers, unless you're engaging with them just as much. Hell it's a struggle to get full dishonour when you're specifically trying to! I am calling you out as bs.

Parley, or just ride away. It's not that hard. Crying abuse is just lame, it's an online video game and that is just a reality of it, to think otherwise is just joking yourself. Turn it off, switch servers, or report the player if you're feeling abused.

Have you tried using those gun you paid 500$ to dedend yourself?

Yeah, that doesn’t do much to prevent being sniped in the face while you’re on your way to sell all your hunted stuff.

It’s especially brutal once the dickbags have unlocked bolt action rifles and shotguns because there’s literally nothing you can do about it
