Is there a way to avoid/block people?

There is a group of players, I believe they are all in a posse together. My buddy knows a few from another forum and they been bugging him for some time on RDR2O. He said that they somehow always end up on the server he is on. He doesn't even know how they are doing it. They are all on Xbox. I play on PS so I am not sure what he can do in terms of blocking them. If it is a console option or in-game option, I am not sure.

If he's on Xbox, he should report them for harassment through the Xbox Live service. No one deserves to be harassed.  That's not part of the game.

I agree with Xped.  .....especially if they are doing it through messaging as that would be definitive proof.

Although nothing is likely to come of it, I would also try the R* in-game reporting option as well.  On PS4 we have an option to block but I just don't know how that works on XB1.

Just follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button on your Xbox One controller.
2. Press LB to arrive at the People tab.
3. Select Find someone.
4. Type the player's Gamertag. This will open their profile.
5. Select Report or block.
6. Select Block. The block will be immediately applied.

I don't think there is an option in game but this should really make it harder for your friend and these people to be on the same server.
