Killed in my camp

[Ruf_Rider]

so last night I was playing minding my own business, and got gang attacked,  after fighting and killing back and forth, I got to my camp.  they showed up and started antagonizing and then out of no where I get shot.  HOW and WHY.  

Also I pressed charges  and was told by one of them ( in PM ) they have too much money .  WTF

People have been getting killed in camps forever. Personally, I've only seen it happen when someone used a sniper rifle and they were far away from the person's camp, but it can happen a number of ways.

Not that it would have helped you, but did you have Defensive mode on?

Also, do you have the video? I make it my business to send Rockstar videos showing how they are allowing players to be griefed while playing.

I haven't seen the video yet, but I heard that the Rockstar team was griefed while doing their live stream. If true, that's the best news I've heard about the game in awhile.

There are several factors that could be involved here especially if you were engaged with them right before entering your camp.

IMO/IME, griefing happens in most cases because people allow it to happen by being complacent, being unaware and/or taking risks.

Situational awareness is key. Use the advantages of defensive mode to evade or escape from unwanted encounters. Move to a new area away from other players especially when you spawn in. Choose a spawn point opposite of the place you want to go and travel there. The system tends to group players together in the same session.

If you're attacked, don't engage them. Use the parley feature, press charges and vacate the area asap. I even block players although I'm not sure if that even helps but it also means they can't msg me. There is also a reporting feature if you feel their behavior is disruptive like when they were taunting you in your camp.

These new features can help but you still have to play as if everyone is a threat if you want to help yourself avoid these types of situations.

Also, switch your profile to "offline" so they cant keep tracking you.

Say you leave the server and go to another one, they can use your gamertag, then profile to see where you are and there is an option there to join you in your session, I know because it happened to me, they actually followed me to another server and kept killing me, so I learned you also have to switch that to show me offline to prevent them from knowing where you are.

And if R* was griefed in their session that would be fantastic!!!! I would love it if that were true, maybe then more can be or will be done to help prevent those types of players from dominating the game.

From what I saw, Rockstar was shooting players that were riding by for no reason, and killing their horses too. But I didn’t watch the live stream and put no faith in the Edited videos around to make an actual judgement....
