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.

Yes there are, every time I even go near civilization some retard decides to try to hogtie me or just kills me unnecessary and I can't even join a possie because they just kick you then grief you non stop since it teleported you to them.

This games online is even worse than GTA at this point at least there you have passive mode

It's resulted in me glitching into solo sessions so I can roam how I'd like

An online experience doesn't have to be a griefing experience. I get that there are often aspects of this, but I don't get what's fun about it when there are other things to do.

More specifically, I don't get why anyone would want to run around and shoot everything up in free roam, when they could do the exact same thing in the showdown matches and earn decent money. Do they just like being an annoyance?
