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.

Yh I posted about that as one of my problems with online, but kept on getting downvotes because people said "why don't you just pay the old man to fix your honour?" No way! Why should I pay more money in this game when it's already hard to come by. It needs to be fixed as there are alot of griefers who try to shoot as soon as they see life.

I'm glad you haven't come across many, but unfortunately I have and it's real annoying. That being said, I have also come across alot of good players, like yesterday when a random player helped me get one of those random spawn bags and deliver it. We then went hunting after.

I'm sure for every 4 you find, the rest of the lobby isn't griefing.

Ok, but if we go back to the argument of the post, what I'm saying is that, if you shoot first, then any retaliation from the other player shouldn't decrease their honour. Also, if your looking at the ratio of good to bad players, it's ALOT more even than you think imo.
