Did you try all of the recommendations listed in the thread?

To what end though? My opinion won't change your opinion and vice versa. I guess my point is that I see this as an argument I simply see no reason to engage in. Your interpretation of what you feel is an open world experience is obviously different than mine and that won't change. .....and I have zero interest in trying to convince you otherwise.

fyi... I went ahead and consolidated your responses into one.

Hi Dewey and welcome to the forums. Personally, I find the RDR2 game world quite immersive, expansive and yeah, even open and real in some respects. I would wholeheartedly disagree with you on that point but then again, I really loved the campaign and environment mostly for those reasons. Not sure why you're trying to change other people's minds or why that would even matter. Some folks are simply not going to like the game due to certain aspects or agree on others take on it but that's fine. We all play it (or not) for our own reasons. If your intention was to bring up the point to R* about how they may describe their own game then please note that RDR2.org is a fan site (not affiliated with R*).

I don't know anyone here on staff who has an inside track to get this information to someone at R* (where it would even make a difference). However, you're more than welcome to create a poll if you want or simply pitch your ideas to fellow community members for feedback, to drum up support, etc. Having said that, R* already has a place where folks can submit their feedback and it's here: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892 If people want their voice to be heard or those of others they feel are not speaking up, they have the perfect opportunity to encourage them to do so there (in a respectful manner of course). R* already uses that feedback to get a feel or "consensus" as to what their consumers want. Whether folks feel right, wrong or indifferent about some changes R* has made in RDO, some of those were a direct result of that feedback. The following is just my personal opinion but when someone pitches a "consensus" poll on a forum, I sometimes find it's more about "concessions" rather than a true look at what people or a segment are asking for. In all honesty, I'd rather voice my unabridged feedback rather than have to compromise due to what is typically a limited list of poll options that are (to be quite honest) not always objectively chosen. .....and I would rather not be represented by a poll or someone's take on what I or a group of the community value in the game which can sometimes be misconstrued. I have no problem with a difference of opinion and I feel everyone should make their voice heard which is why I continually direct them to that site.

Actually, I got mine this evening and an alert screen popped up stating that I had been gifted the 10 gold bars.

Hi Cap'n and welcome to the forums. If it's all the same to everyone else, I'm going to go ahead and merge this to the "how do you handle griefers/trolls" topic as I can already see this driving toward the typical circular discussion. .....and we really don't need another thread that will go down that rabbit hole. Long story short, some folks will never agree on this subject but there is a R* Beta Feedback site I would encourage folks to use to submit their ideas, suggestions, grievances, etc. Many have already done this and R* has reacted to that input (much of the recent TU was a direct result of that input regarding this topic). Whether some folks like it or not, the community spoke, R* agreed and made changes to try and mitigate the problem. ......and it's still early in the beta so things will likely be tweaked, added and removed as time passess. RDO is an ever evolving-project. I encourage everyone, regardless of their position on the issue(s) to let R* know how they feel. Don't blame others for voicing their own opinion on the topic. Everyone has the same opportunity to do so. No need to be dismissive or discourteous to others simply because there is a disagreement on what the Free Roam experience should be. .....which is the only option for everyone at the moment and into the foreseeable future. Here's a link to the Beta Feedback site: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892

Mardi Gras in New Orleans during the late 19th century:

Agreed. May not hit the same day either if past rewards are any indication.

I received mine a couple nights ago

Thanks for posting the exchange.

I've heard that about the sound. Makes me curious which is really all it takes to get me to buy something in this game.

If it's via their Support site, they say <24 hrs. My experience has been less than an hour in most cases but if they escalate the issue then it can take longer (more than a day in some cases).

I'm over it, that's fine. ....and I apologize for snapping back at you. At least now you know one of my pet peeves. Seriously though, it's a small staff of what I consider some stand up folks who I don't believe would cross that line based on personal feelings. We all still post as part of the community and even disagree but we're not going to start using mod privileges for personal grudges, preferences, etc. They state a <24 hour response time. IME, there is a front line of "experts" who are essentially first-line "call center" material I would say. There is a way however to get your trouble ticket escalated to a R* next-tier rep which is what I have done on one occasion when I was unhappy with a response I received. I got a much better answer from them. No idea how many reps they have but I'll wager that first line of responders takes care of at least 90% of that.

No problem. That's what I figure. It all adds up. I can also use the extra cash in GTA since I still play around in that word too.

Yeah, same thing happened to me and I thought that too. I did however get an email later that confirmed it. .....so I would say yes, it did set up correctly since I saw the same thing you are seeing.

I would definitely say bug but I guess you could also provide feedback on it in the sense of how it affects your overall gameplay experience or something along those lines?

I was using the Google authenticator app and was given a 6 digit code that I entered. Your password is your Social Club password. I believe there is another option listed if you can't scan the code.

I recall the code they scrounged through revealed private sessions, properties and vehicles (wagons). Can't speak to the passive mode because it's been a while since I looked at those findings. I do remember the some (or perhaps all) the data they mined was from the app. Can't help but think R* has some of these options / components queued up and ready to be implemented but they're simply waiting for different benchmarks in the beta to be met, prioritizing or whatever. I would suspect that at this relatively early stage it is easier in this environment to keep everyone in one bucket. .....for now. I'd like to see some of these options come to fruition.

Excellent. The more info they have the better. Thanks for submitting all that as it helps others having the same problem(s).

I've been on the Social Club since GTAV and already have Google Authenticator so it was a quick thing to do. Just thought others like me would want to cash in on the free GBs and/or GTA money.

I rarely ever buy anything other than the standard edition of games so that won't be until the 15th for me.

Hmmmmm..... I didn't say there was "no point" in posting here Luke , simply suggesting a means to get your suggestions directly to R*. Of course you are welcome to post here and share your thoughts, suggestions, experience or tap into us as a resource and we encourage that. I was in no way suggesting otherwise.

Rockstar Games to reward users who add extra security verification to Social Club accounts Kyle Evans, 56 mins ago 0 1 min read We see a lot of people on Twitter not very happy because their Social Club accounts have been hacked and they can’t get them back. A lot of these people won’t have 2 step verification to help them out. Well, now Rockstar Games is pushing for people to start using Two-step verification. Secure your Social Club account with Two-step verification and you’ll be rewarded with: 10 Gold Bars in Red Dead Online $500,000 in Grand Theft Auto Online Future benefits for GTA Online Future benefits for Red Dead Online Now, let’s hope this is a good enough way to persuade people to secure their accounts.
