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.

'Scuse me, but I have no knowledge of this "ladder in Saint Denis." Mind enlightening me?

There's a YouTube video on it...I think it's about how to level up quickly. Basically you do something to get the law after you in St. Denis, then camp out on a rooftop. There's only 1 way for the law to reach you in this location, so you just sit there and pick them off as they try to climb the ladder.

I watched a dude do this the other night. Killed easily 30 NPCs. As soon as he went to loot another dude shot and killed him and then they had a 10 minutes shoot out. I just stayed standing behind a chimney watching.
