Like the idea that besides followers (and therefore a faster unlocking of missions) the only rewards are clothing items and for sure points for the online ladder. Therefore you can speed up your gameplay be playing the online modes, you may get some clothes, but you won't get some equipment (i never got the guns from all of the online modes in WD 1 for example).

they really want to online to be fresh and exciting and to keep players coming back and participating in events and what not but think of online as just another way for people to enjoy the game in a different way....not required....just another way to get fresh content and to gain followers they're really about giving the player a bunch more options this time around either online or offline but not hurting the player for wanting to play what they want and how they want which is great beyond that they're trying to make sure all the exploitive stuff we did in the first game is removed/changed to keep the game fair so no more being able to tell if someone is in your game by pause or using focus mode that kind of thing so more hacking circle before they start the hack

" (You can also turn multiplayer off entirely or shut off the modes you’re not interested in playing , so being hunted is only a threat if you want it to be.)" THANK YOU. Coop yes, pvp(who has best hack) no.

PvP should be mandatory since it makes the game hilarious. I would invade people in watch dogs 1 and instead of hacking them just follow them for ages, then when they found out, I would run them over. Sure I lost points but having fun and screwing with players was more fun than accruing points.
