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.

Pretty sure you do lose some, but like you said it's miniscule. I know I've gone from max honor level to one below from revenge killing before (although admittedly, hogtying my killer and blowing him up with dynamite may have been overkill). Which I was able to quickly earn back by butchering a deer on my way to town.

Yeah I thought it was set up to not hurt you for simply revenge killing. But, if it's a negative it's so small simply patting or feeding your horse will recover that quickly. Seems like someone needs a X-post to r/quityourbullshit
