Rockstar Condones Bullying
Hackers and griefers which plague RDR2 and GTA5 are online bullies.

Therefore Rockstar is okay with bullying.

To be honest ever since online gaming has become a thing, there have been griefers. It's just part of the community. Yeah it can be a pain but one thing you cannot control is other people/players. It's just like real life. Most people want to get along with the general community as a whole but there are always outliers that want chaos or drama.

Well something needs to be done with bullying. I consider bullying a crime. It's a crime around these parts. It won't be long before we have serious cases of people bullying in video games. Do they spam the mic at all or what? At least there are no chat text but I honestly think it is rude to not add text chat at all. Not everyone can afford a mic not to mention there are tons of deaf gamer users who wanna use the text chat in-game to chat. Sure we have steam but what if they didn't purchase it off steam? This is clearly discrimination for sure!

Your name suits you. You are nuttie. It is not a crime. Unethical to be sure but not a crime. Huge distinction.

It's mainly the reputation system. Blue name can scout your wagon from afar, approach and attack on his terms well within dynamite stick range if he so chooses.

A more robust reputation system is needed where long time first strike aggroers need to stay perma red. It should be a pain in the bung hole to play an outlaw.

There is zero repercussions at present state.

In the meantime get your ALT-F4 ready if you outnumbered, outranked and getting griefed.

It took you this long to figure that out? The game is practically a griefing simulator.

Also, Rockstar made a game that is LITERALLY a school bully simulator.

I would not be surprised if some of the devs actually spawn those cougars, and win 10 hands in a row at the poker table.

This is a game that allows player vs player combat. If you're afraid of constantly being attacked by other players, then you might as well group up with a few friends. I have no idea why you guys would complain about combat, which is allowed in the game, and then call it "bullying."

You don't need a reason to shoot someone unprovoked. It's the Wild West ffs. Do what you want.

What the OP is right about is the hacking part. Now that's what I'd call unethical.

this fat dude is right. run in groups, join a posse. On the oft chance you running solo just keep your Alt-F4 hotkey ready. You leave the world with all your goods intact

Griefers don't want "combat", they want to interrupt players who are visibly busy doing something else.

Today someone stabbed me when I was about to pick up a collectible inside the Blackwater saloon, and when he realized I'm scoping the saloon from down the street, he paced around near the front door for a moment, then logged out like a b*tch.

This game was purposely designed for you to have the free choice to initiate combat with other players for whatever reason you have. At least that's the multiplayer.

Seriously, I've played Online before, and there's hardly any other ♥♥♥♥ to do besides fishing and playing Fed Ex man while you make deliveries. Oh yeah, there's a bland story, too. Somehow that's the part of multiplayer people like you find entertaining, but whine about combat lmao.

Look... We are living in a dictatorship. I'm literally shaking and dry heaving right now. I just broke down in tears. I honestly don't know what to say. How could this happen? This was good over evil and the villain won. I've been crying for 2 hours straight and my wife's kids thought someone died. I told them someone did... America. We've lost Mueller. I let out a scream of rage at the top of my lungs, literally panicking and hyperventilating. My wife's son LaDonte handed me a paper bag to breath into, but it said made in USA so I threw it in the trash and told him to fcuk off. I almost passed out from yelling so loud.I literally don't know what to do right now, my panic levels are reaching critical limits, and my mom threw away my prescription liquid hormones because she says they were driving me crazy. She voted for Drumpf. Why in the fcuking fcuk did this happen? I was told Blumpf would be impeached, but then he stole this right from our helpless little hands. This world is so fcuking corrupt and rigged. I can't deal with this outcome. I will be protesting on the streets and burning my own house down since its alarm system didn't work when it let these Nazis in my home. This is so fcuked.
