ALifeOfMisery Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Personally, I don't think there is any use, at all, in reporting players for griefing. R* don't define behaviour that they consider griefing, which makes it difficult to believe that they can or even would take action against those reported. I don't consider anything I've been on the recieving end of, so far, as griefing. Yeah, I've been killed while fishing, while trying to sell pelts, while stuck in herb picking and skinning animations etc. but I've put each instance down to encountering someone who's being a c*nt rather than feeling that I'd been griefed. Let's face it, online anonymity allows people to be as much of a b*stard as they feel like, with, in a lot of cases, no repercussions. A situation which isn't limited to online gaming.

I also have provided you with two links describing "griefing", proving your definition is wrong. Two links to made up definitions.... Obviously those definitions are not complete.

Man, I have met some really great guys and girls just adding people after we kill each other... Most of the time, they are people just like me... enjoying a game. Sometimes they are clueless asswipes, and they get deleted. Edited January 21, 2019 by Smokewood iBUCKEYE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeroam PvP is an occasionally unavoidable aspect of the game for me. Currently at least. I either kill out of necessity or let the other player get their fix, parley and move on in the most part. I do add random players I've done missions with, either because they were competent or funny. I've nothing against freeroam PvPers, different strokes for different folks and all that. I just don't see the fun in shooting the guy who's skinning a rabbit and would, perhaps incorrectly, assume that, as with many things in life, it's probably more fun if it's consensual for all involved.

I get where you're coming from, some of the guys on my PSN list are absolute monsters when it comes to freeroam PvP in GTAO, really cool people that I ended up doing Heists or contact missions etc. with, so I do get that doesn't mean PvP is all they do. Incidentally almost all of them worked by a code of never messing with another players money making, they actually wanted to test themselves against others who wanted to fight, because Lazer Vs Tug is meaningless. I try not to judge, I'm not a judgemental guy, what I find fun may or may not be completely different from what you, or anyone else, finds fun, and that's all good. But, I probably don't have too much in common, when it comes to mutually enjoyable gameplay opportunities, with the player who finds killing another player while they're fishing fun, because I think it's kind of a d*ck move.

See, you don't get it or you simply refuse to accept what "free for all" pvp means. The game is designed so that you can shot anyone at any time.

This is a quote straight from R* about upcoming updates to try to combat "griefing": Law and Bounty Upgrades: Some changes are coming to the way the Law and Bounty systems work in Red Dead Online to reduce the enticements for griefing. Soon, players will get a bounty for committing crimes and will be incentivized to pay them off within an allotted time. Wait too long and bounty hunters from each of the states will track the player forcing them to either pay up or escape. Parley Changes: We’re making the Parley system easier to trigger so that you can avoid aggressive players more quickly. In addition, it will be easier to trigger Feuds, Posse Feuds and Leader Feuds to take on attacking players in structured competition. Proximity-Based Player Blips: Player location blips will soon appear only over short distances, reducing the range at which you are visible to others, decreasing the likelihood of being targeted by another player across large areas. Down the line, we’re also looking to introduce the ability to identify players who grief and kill indiscriminately with a progressively darkening blip that becomes more visible and at a longer range, so everyone in a session can identify potentially dangerous opponents at a glance and from a safe distance. Why would they be putting in measures to fix a problem that doesn't exist? Stupidis, Dr.Rosenthal and Lonely-Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCourtney Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Everyone decides for themselves what it means to grief, or be griefed. Everyone is simultaneously in the right and in the wrong to varying proportions at any given moment. As far as I'm concerned, if nobody is modding/cheating/glitching, everything else is Fair Play. 4eyedcoupe, ThaBirdCoot, Amy Vinewood and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butchcassidy-rdr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Too many players run solo. You have to realize in this game or even GTAO, playing in groups & communicating is very important. United you are strong, divided (solo) you gonna get your a** whooped, especially when RDO EWO mechanics suck. I have a small community going of mature players who like doing hunting/missions & fight the griefers.

I didn’t die so when the animation finished I put him down then repeatedly did so for maybe 10 minutes, at least 8 kills since he didn’t parley. Dude gets on the mic crying about being bullied, people start to rush me. Was I griefing? Were you griefing? Depends, were they trying to run away after being killed for the 4th...5th...6th time? It's one thing to defend yourself and claim your ground, it's another to be vengeful. I akin it to the Castle Doctrine. I'll shoot you in my house if you break-in, but if you attempt retreat I'll leave you alone (and lower my sights when you're out of range).
