Embarrassing. I played quite a lot for a good two+ weeks earlier in the year and it was fine enough, but nothing remotely special, but the number of hackers really killed my interest. The missions themselves were decent and the general gameplay loop of hunting and trading and just exploring that world was good enough for the most part even if very grindy. But every couple hours having some asshat warp you and everyone else 50 feet in the air to drop to your death, often resulting in your horse with tons of pelts on it dying and losing all of that, or happening in the middle of a trade run and having to restart that entirely was beyond annoying and killed what little joy the game provided.
Unless you're playing with friends in a posse and doing stuff together the online elements of RDO are fucking garbage and do nothing but make for a frustrating experience that is pretty much only worthwhile if you enjoy griefing.
I'm far more inclined to just play the single player game despite it missing some of the QoL additions and new job loops since I know I won't have to worry about or deal with any of the online bullshit, both the intended and unintended elements.
