I'd just be happy with a "save game" function, I just lost 14 pelts when the R* server disconnected me. Its story mode for me, This isnt even close to being a playable game.

You will probably need to buy a "Brokers License" for 100 Gold before you can sell a horse. Seriously, what was R* thinking? a Wild West game where you can't catch, tame and sell wild horses. Did they really need a Beta test to tell them that?

If GTAO is any indicator then, no I don't think there's a chance it is going to get better. RDRO is going to be a microtransaction-based game. Not just cosmetic items, you will be able to purchase advantages (like shotguns) . It's where GTAO is now and the direction it moved from launch. I also think the poor state of the beta speaks volumes about R*'s concerns for players who do not intend to keep paying to play. Why else would you even put this economy in a beta? Why would you set missions to only pay out once? Why would you even include gold bars? Personally, I'd rather every player paid $150 for the game and do away with the ability to purchase advantages. I loved RDR1 and looked forward to RDRO launching, I should have known better based on what R* did with GTAO..

Probably the best tip I've heard. Can you lasso a jack rabbit? The carbine makes a mess of them....

Turn on your mic to everyone and listen to who is griefing and trolling, mostly 10 to 15 year old boys.. If R* just had a 16 and older server most of the issues would go away. GTAO was the same way....

This is exactly what 99% of passive players were doing in GTA O. I killed hundreds of players in "passive mode" for that reason. RDRO needs an invite only Lobby so we can play with friends and avoid the 12 year olds looking to disrupt your game.

My horse on I are actually going to starve on the plains. The economy is obviously designed to require you spend real money to survive. GTA V evolved into the same thing especially after the X bone and PS4 launches. I'll keep shooting everything that moves ( and get poor pelts because of , Carbine) that should keep us fed. But I have no hope of ever affording an $80 Varmint rifle, let alone nearly $500 for a shotgun
