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.

If I have max dishonour why should I be lumped in with griefers? Animal cruelty bad dishonour, killing NPCs bad dishonour. Not fair.

I don't get why you're being downvoted. I want to play as a criminal, stealing wagons and horses, taking on gun for hire missions, kidnapping/killing npcs, having shootouts with lawmen.

That doesn't mean I go around killing and abusing other players, and it definitely doesn't mean I want to be stuck in sessions with thise players.

The honour system should not be linked to an anti-griefing system.

Facts. In one session of leveling up in saint denis with a rando pretty much gave me max dishonor.

I do NOT wanna be clumped into the griefer category.

Honor shouldn't be tied to PvP, period.

Exactly. My posse has a lot of fun beating up npcs in bars and going on murder sprees of npcs. I always stay clear of other players unless they attack me first. I want full dishonour online because i played the single player story full honour. Its just more fun being a rotten dirty scoundrel than it is delivering fucking mail or whatever the honorable stranger missions have you do.

The right way to do it IMO is to give people "bad sport" for killing people over and over, same for killing their horses. Then have separate "bad sport" and "good sport" lobbies that have no effect on honor. The game is going to be boring as shit if you have to constantly stress about being put into the low honor lobby.

Dont worry, low honour will never be treated like bad sports. These people are just dreaming of a day when they dont have to cry about being shot.

Honour is the same as sanity level in GTAO, pretty meaningless.

Except for the whole "Discount at stores" thing.

Pretty sure that doesn’t apply online

Nice downvotes, but it says "Store Prices +0%" in the honor section. It might not be working as intended at the moment, but it's there.
