online?

? about online play.

It seems like or most of the items are pretty pricey so I figured I'd do some hunting and sell some pelts and meat to the butcher to raise some money. I have my horse loaded up and along comes a posse of 4, they destroy me and I die. I come back and all my pelts are gone. I'm thinking, well boo, but that's part of it.

So I go out and see another person hunting, they have pelts and animals on their horse. I shoot them, they die and there horse is left. I go up to their horse and cannot take their pelts or animals.

So my question is, what's the point? If you can kill other players but can't take their money or pelts, you don't gain anything from killing them other than "yay you killed them".

Same holds true for the horses, I see all sorts of horses on the map, some have saddles, I jump on one and get a "horse thief" I take that horse to the stable and try and sell it but it tells me I cannot sell a stolen horse.

I see wild horses and I brake one, take that one to the stable and it warps me back outside the stable and says he does not accept this kind of horse.

What kind does he accept and where/what do you do with stolen horses and broken horses?

I'm kinda confused on the online stuff, I know you can do missions and stranger quests, but the other stuff mentioned above I'm kinda lost on.

Currently, there appear to be no rewards for killing other players like this in free roam mode. Other than bragging rights. And maybe you can earn experience points in this situation. But I'm not sure. In Showdown Event series you do get rewards for killing other players. You might get rewards if a mission has you fight other players. I'm not sure if you can loot people in those modes or not. 

This article talks about Parleys and Fueds. Which says it gets triggered after killing the same person, or you get killed by the same person, after the 4th time.

I've noticed that too, about horses. 

It's the Beta. So things could change when final version goes live.
