Morning all. I'm back playing the game daily (daily streak 5/7, whoop whoop!) as the latest update seems finally to have cleared my glitches. So I'm back to asking smaller, day to day questions rather than railing against the generic unfairness of the universe. I was in Armadillo last night. Visited the Post Office, then rode along the high street to the Sheriff's office, looking for a collectible. I passed a scrawny nag on the way in, so knew that there was a player around, but didn't see them. Then just as I arrived at the Sheriff's office, a player stepped out from between two buildings. He didn't have a weapon drawn, so I tipped my hat. He waved back. I then mosied over to the chest on the veranda along the row from the Sheriff's office, opened it, and then the other player jumped me from behind, got me in a headlock. I broke free (I checked - he was level 25 so guess I'm stronger), turned around and he threw a punch. So we had a scuffle, he went down, no weapons drawn, and I got the 25xp for knocking out another player. Then suddenly it flashes up that he's dead, and I get the prompt that he has pressed charges. Seems a bit rich!! But anyway, I turn and walk towards my horse, planning just to leave (and ditching the collectible idea), but then he has respawned and come steaming back towards me, on foot, shooting at me with a repeater. Bullets ricocheting around me but didn't hit me. So I drew my navy and killed him. Then mounted my horse and rode out. I got a second prompt, telling me that he had pressed charges again, and that my hostility level had risen. Given I never start a fight, and that he tried to kill me not once but twice, how on Earth has he been able to press charges against me twice? The first time I didn't even try to kill him I just hit him back. Not my fault that he picked a fight he couldn't handle. I'd have left him unconscious and left. I couldn't press charges against him (presumably as I didn't die?). But that seems out of whack to me. What do you all think?

I think you know this but if you want to make suggestions directly to R* and be sure someone from R* reads it, you're going to need to use their Feedback link here: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/feedback?redirect_lang=en_us

The buyers refreshed.... you can wait until the next refresh and hope for a better price again. Best to try and time your batches to finish before they refresh to avoid this

I hadn't messed with my mode, I never do, just ride around in whatever it gives me, so would assume I was blue. That was my first player encounter of the session. He was blue also. But my issue is more that I met the threshold for him pressing charges against me purely because I punched a guy who was headlocking me, then again because I returned fire, but neither of his attacks on me gave me the option to press charges against him. So it seems a bit off somewhere. I don't even particularly mind - I don't go around assaulting people, so presumably my status stays pretty calm, and when there's a daily challenge to keep low aggression for a day then I keep passing them even though I don't go on stealth mode or whatever it is. But it seems off that he can attack me, but I can't press charges because I didn't die, but he can press charges against me purely because I defend myself. I can see lots of low level players abusing that. And I don't want to walk around half invisible as it dents immersion. (No idea if I was dark blue or light blue - don't know the difference and don't know how to check!)
