I hate auto aim.. For me its not about skill or getting good. I just don't like getting hit with bullets so easily. I just want a free aim mode. IMO It still require skills to be good with auto aim. Its just a totally different type of game play with auto aim compared to free aim. As of right now.. Free aim players are just salty due to no free aim lobbies. So, heres hoping R* adds it soon.

I do the jewelry respawn thing.... lol. Made enough to buy a bolt action. I don't consider it an exploit. Since searching for items and finding a new game is legit game play. And so is farming farm animals. If anything is an exploit in this game...its the bean counters at R* who work for Strauss Zelnick trying to nickle and dime the players with extremely high prices and crappy payouts. In horse races.. Comming in 2nd or 3rd pays about $1. Missions pay out $2-$4 sometimes.. Do what you gotta do.

Whats the money exploit? Are you talking about the dirty sheep ****ers? If you are, thats not really a money exploit. Caught one of my friends doing this last night when i joined her game. The entire farm was filled with dead sheep. She didn't seem to to proud about it when i called her a dirty sheep ****er. lol

Seems to me people want to play online with friends... Playing CO OP missions, ride around, hunt, fish and do what ever. And theres lots of fun in that. Hell i spent an hour last night dragging friends through the water with a lasso. Shooting bots and hunting/fishing is a part MP online. It literally is. PVP is just one aspect of online.. And currently, IMO its the worst part of online due to auto aim. (This is just my opinion) But really... Where the fun of constantly being locked on to by asshole with auto aim just because they see your blip? Thing is this is just a beta. They don't even have PRIVATE/INVITE only lobbies yet. So once thats added players will be able to play in peace. But this game does need friendly lobbies for PVE players.

I don't get how some people don't understand why people don't want to engage with hostile players all the time. A posse of hostile players is going to prevent the people they attack from doing 'everything'. Even If the the player(s) who get attacked defend themselves and kill the hostile trolls. Some hostile players even get angry when they get killed.. So that just makes them keep coming back for more. And the cycle never ends...lol The only option ends up being finding a new session.

You do know that there's CO OP missions in this game. That have ZERO PVP in it.

Meh.. I think auto aim should stay if thats what people enjoy using. But, they sure as hell need to add a free aim mode. And a friendly mode for pve. This makes everyone happy. (Unless someone wants to force pvp and auto aim on all players). I use free aim. But currently.. I have had plenty of times where i need to swap to Auto Aim just to deal with players. It drives me bonkers. I have to look and spot targets and then aim. While these little trolls are running at me at full speed, sometimes on a horse and just spammin LT and landing shots. So i end up having to go to settings, swap to auto aim.. Fight back. Then when its done i have to switch back to free aim. For me.. As far as Free Aim goes. I don't care about skill as much as i care about not getting shot with ease. Even the damn lasso has auto aim.. Why?..lol

I haven't raced yet.. But im just wondering.. Do race payouts increase based on how many players in the race lobby? Wouldn't afk player just end up helping the people racing by increasing the payout over all? If thats the case afk players seem ok to me..lol

You seem to think this game is all about grinding.. While its just one aspect of the game Myself and friend where just hunting yesterday to stock up on food. In comes a four person posse and starts killing us. So we started killing them back. Basically we slaughtered each other over and over again, for over an hour. We actually tried to leave the area after 20 mins, but they killed our horses. After out horses got merked we decided to just keep killing them. Now.. we actually enjoy killing players (hate the auto aim tho).. But we stuck around for that one hour battle. People who don't care for pvp would probably have had to quit the lobby. Forcing pvp on to players who have no interest in it... isn't fun for non pvp folks.

Some people say FA is about skill. For me.. its mostly about the ability to dodge bullets easier. In AA.. 90% of the time. People are going land the 1st shot they lock on. In FA.. players might have to take 3 or 4 shots before landing one shot.

Theres nothing fun about dying to auto aim. Even players who use auto aim and pve will tell you that. You keep bringing up incentives. Well, R* added incentives in RDR multiplayer. You simply get MORE depending on what you play in. Im not deflecting anything. I've just seen this already sorted out in the previous RDR. Besides, Friendly mode isn't passive mode.. And comparing the two is pointless. In GTA O i can use passive.. get close to people.. Turn it off.. KILL THEM and turn passive back on. And do it over and over again. You can't do that in friendly mode. Maybe i just see things how they are. I don't give a rats ass where people play. As long as its fun.

Passive mode is the ability to go passive at anytime. Friendly Lobbies means pvp is disabled at all times.. No bull sh*t passive.. So its not comparable. Besides.. I really don't care where people play. Theres no such thing as grinding with honor. Its just a game... the most important thing is players enjoyment. Also.. noobs won't be able to just flop over from PVE and start owning people in HARDCORE mode. You wonder why i bring up AA.. thats why. Because anyone with auto aim can be a HUGE nuisance for anyone in any AA pvp lobby. And getting spawned killed by auto aim is a HUGE reason as to why there should be a friendly lobby. As far as incentive goes.. R* could simple add our a bigger percentage on payouts depending on what mode you play.

Sounds good to me.. I don't see how its terrible at all. Thats the way it should be. My attitude is Bring it on.. The whole reason i would be playing Hardcore mode is because people may attack me. At least there would be no auto aim. Im more worried about auto aim at the moment than actual players. I don't consider auto aim pvp... Its a huge nuisance for me. If people want to grind in pve who cares? People can grind in PVP too. Hell, theres specific pvp modes just to grind in. Besides.. R* is adding GOLD BARS to buy via real money. People can have more than you even if you grind all day long and they only played for 5 mins. Im just wondering.. but did you play RDR multiplayer?

Why does it matter if people leave pve servers to play in pvp server? Isn't that the point? Thats how it was in RDR multiplayer. It worked great. If GTA O did what RDR multiplayer did.. It would been much better than Passive mode and constantly complaining about trolls.

Does it matter where people go? At least they know what they are getting into. I mean, i would mostly play Hardcore mode if it was added.. but not just for pvp. And If people want to swap over just for pvp and come after me, id be fine with that. At least if i just wanted to screw around in friendly, the option is there. Especially for people who don't want to pvp. Much better than passive mode. Because without a proper friendly mode.. People will beg for passive mode. And they might get it. Passive mode was the band aid R* added to GTA O.. because they where too stubborn to make a friendly lobby. And passive mode, ends up being used by trolls too once they lose the advantage in PVP. And passive mode SUCKS!

I say around 30% of the player base would want free aim. Maybe more.. GTA O forums red dead section and Reddit is already getting people going to the support page and asking for free aim. If you're going to send a Free Aim suggestion to R* support.. A big thank you!

I know theres alot of players that have zero interest in pvp. But i guess private lobbies could solve that, if they add it. Splitting it into thirds would just make everyone mostly happy.

Maybe im wrong. But it should be more like RDR multiplayer.. Normal. With Any aim you want.. PVP enabled. But with Blips only show when shooting or running/riding. (To make it non troll happy) Friendly. with Any Aim you want. PVP disabled. Blips enabled Hardcore. Free Aim only. Blips only show when shooting or running/riding. I find that would make most people happy. And with that would not require passive mode, because everyone knows what they are getting into.

I disagree.. People may want to only play PVE for a bit.. then swap to PVP. Can't just lock people in a box. if this game is going to be about PVP.. then R* needs to add Free AIm and limit the blips. And get the me the hell outta auto aim boggie woggie. Because any idiot can just head toward blips and spam auto aim... and get kills. And in that case the only thing a player is risking is their sanity of getting stuck in a auto aim.. wack a mole fest and dealing with trolls. Better rewards should be for people who use free aim.. Just like it was in RDR and GTA O. But i don't think players should get better rewards. Game should be fun...

To each their own.. I think the auto aim in R* games is horrible. Especially when it comes to pvp. I find both AA and FA to be clunky.. but the AA drives me bonkers. For me, i prefer the free aim because it allows myself to avoid getting shot by other players much easier. I also find pvp/pve more exciting without the constant lock ons . The lock ons drive me crazy, especially when i have to fight with what target im trying to lock on to. After playing last night with my old GTA O crew.. Everyones going to R* support and begging for Free Aim mode. Because as it stands we are forced to use AA due to everyone else using AA. It drives us batty. I guess maybe i have to have a LITTLE FAITH!!!... And Hope R* comes through with this.

Passive mode does suck. But so does always on player blips and auto aim. As it stands. Always on player blips makes it easy for trolls to find players to mess with.> Auto Aim just makes its easier for them to pin players down. And this is exactly how its currently playing out. I be all for NO passive. if there was more to pvp than just 'head toward player blips and spam auto aim' As it stands, unless R* adds Free Aim and a better blip system. I need passive mode. As i have ZERO interest in auto aim pvp.

R* is the least transparent game devs in the world. They lost my faith in Online modes with GTA O. I don't see how giving them time is something that should apply to Free Aim. Free Aim is TOP priority for many player. It should be there on arrival. Hell its the 1st thing i did in story mode..the moment i could access the options. Auto Aim OFF!... For people who use auto aim.. They obviously won't care, because they have that already. But if R* made it free aim only, they would be howling at the moon. Well im HOWLING!. Im about to rip the moon down and stomp it into pieces, pick it up .. slam it and stomp it some more. Guess it time to spam R* support and group up with other free aim players. Sorry for the rant.. I know nobody here can do something about it. Just blowin off steam.

So always on Player Blips.. And NO FREE AIM? Im super pissed off.. Huge let down..

I actually enjoyed reading the OP story about what happened to him...lol

Why? Who cares what you rate the game.
