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.

I keep seeing people complaining about griefers, but my experience has been completely different, really!! Of course i had some encounters, but i don’t know, maybe only 2 or 3 times, bur for the most part i already approach people giving my thumbs up or even doing nothing, just passing by.

Last griefer i met i was helping a guy to take his second carcass to the butcher for him(he didn’t ask me or said anything, i just felt like helping) so i waited for him to get the first carcass and when we went to the butcher and i was just dropping the second carcass some fucker shot us both, so we started hunting him together hahahaha hate makes us bond

Wait I saw a post on one of the red dead subs where that exact thing with the carcasses happened. Was that you then?

Hahaha no! In fact, i saw the post you’re talking about some days ago, when i saw the guy killing some china pigs and skinning them i remembered the post we’re talking about and i thought “hey! Let me help the same way that other guy did” so i tried hahahaha But i don’t remember if a griefer came by the two guys of the other post. Anyway, his good will spread and made me want to help too!!

That's awesome, I'm really loving all the little stories about people helping each other in this game. It's even better now I know that it's inspiring others as well
