Nobody should be surprised Rockstar went as cheap as possible and suckered everyone.

Rockstar is infamous for milking GTA 5 while not spending a dime on doing anything about harassment/trolling/hackers.

I stopped playing GTA 5 after some rando found me in one of the more isolated parts of the map and just decided to kill me over and over and over again. There was nothing I could do to get away from him; I'd respawn close enough to him, and nowhere near a vehicle, so I couldn't escape.

They could easily grant temporary immunity or kick players who kill another player more than once in, say, half an hour....and instantly end the problem of harassment and trolling in-game.

What do you mean no way to avoid this? Just use passive mode for a while to get away.

Don't forget that thing about the 20 minute loading times on multiplayer.

Passive Mode + You can just jump into another server. Heck on PC I know there were ways you can modify your network settings to ensure you're always dropped in an empty room. Great for CEO work.

What you're describing is part of the game.

It's like people being pissed off about PKers in Ultima Online 20-something years ago. It's literally what you signed up for. It's part of the world.

The problem isn't player killing here, it's that you get repeatedly killed by the same person immediately when you respawn. That's just broken game design.
