RD2O Feature Request: Spotting Players [Rockstar Responded]

[M_Ono7]

Feature Request for RDR2 Online:
Having everyone shown on the map is discouraging. It creates a toxic environment for players whose main focus to piss others off by killing them repeatedly and makes it too easy to find others. Solution below.

Spotting Players:
How it would work: "Spotting" another player would mark them on the map for you (or everyone) to see for a limited time (i.e. 2 minutes).

Introducing a player spotting system would provide the community with the following benefits:

1. Reduce the amount of unnecessary PVP by trolls who kill others while trying to do tasks, missions, etc.

2. Encourage players to "scout" enemies before engaging. People would use binoculars, scopes, etc before engaging to ensure their target is not with a crew of other players.

3. Increase the online mode's realism.

4. There would be large community support for this - many posts on Reddit would confirm this idea as beneficial for the community.

5. Encourage use of microphone/global chat vs party.

Thank you!

Rockstar responded to me! They gave me this link to submit the feature request: www.rockstargames.com/mouthoff. They told me the more people that submit the feature the more likely they will implement the feature!

To clarify - Currently, all players are shown on the map at all times

Great request!

I know I've used the map to avoid all players because most of them want to kill you. You can't even loot players once they're dead, so why bother killing them when you don't need to? Just to be arseholes, I guess.
