Lately I've been seeing a lot of people showing off their 'tent cities' and I think this really defeats the purpose of the game, along with pitching their tents full of high tier gear outside of the mapped area. The problem is that this game is about survival, not wanting to die and having emotions attached to your character and these 'tent cities' ruin all of that. How? Well usually these 'tent cities' consist of at least 5 tents and have a lot of good gear in them, even when this gear isn't needed by the owner of the tents. Now I'm well aware that these guys have earnt their gear and probably went through great risks to come across it but it defeats the purpose of the game. Why? Because death has little to no consequence. You've died, bugger, I guess I'll just have to run for 30 minutes to my tent to get some new stuff out of my tent. I'm well aware that this is supposed to be realistic but realistic doesn't always mean enjoyable, I think if there was something that could limit the amount of tents pitched in a certain area, then this game would be a lot better.The same also goes for vehicles to a certain extent but no where near as far. These are just my thoughts, I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Do people consider it a problem though? I personally do

I can see this as a good replacement for food but not replenishing blood

My logic is that I have all of this gear on me, it's taken ages to collect and I'm grateful I have it. I'm constantly paranoid about getting killed so I'm always on edge, I pick my shots carefully knowing that if I miss, I may have to spend another 10+ hours collecting this gear. It makes the game so much more suspenseful and worth while. If you're going to hoard all of this gear for when you die, you may as well play COD of and other modern FPS shooter where dying has little to no consequence.

As stated on the first page, these camps RUIN the game. Why? This game is supposed to be about your adventure, growing attached to your character, all of the feelings you'd get in real life when losing your gear. The way these camps ruin the game is because when you die, all you need to do is walk to your camp and as long as you've got the gear, you're back to where you left off. It's like death doesn't mean anything. Personally I would like tents removed, maybe even vehicles.

My camp has never been raided, because I'm not a cunt who hordes gear just to get instantly re-equipped when I respawn. This ruins the immersion in the game, I hope you light a fire and your camp burns down.

Oh, please tell me again how it's so safe to loot Stary and the barracks again... Low populated servers are dodgy in those areas as well, quite often more dangerous on low populated servers...

Well I've been playing this for around 1.5 months now and I know the game quite well so I'm no noob anymore but literally 2 minutes after updating to 1.7.1 and playing for my first time, I was killed. I spawned near where I died and completely forgot I had no weapons and tbh, I was shitting myself. It made me very cautious of what was happening around me but until I got to my body, I was scared. Unfortunately the guy took my FN FAL but didn't realize I had an M4 CCO in my bag so that was ok, I got all of the essentials back when he was shooting at someone else, camping the hill on Elektro. I don't see it being very noob friendly at all and all games need noobs, that's how player bases are replenished. I think maybe if it had maybe a makarov with 2 magazines (not fucking clips, magazines!), would be ok.

I know of clans with 10+ vehicles, clans have no place in this game, they ruin it, imo.

What the fuck is this thread even about?

Fuck you, you small minded pieces of shit. I saw 2 survivors take out 2 other survivors when they were looting the NE barracks at the NW airfield and brag about it on chat and when my friend and I got close enough to kill the guys that killed the other 2, they disconnected the instant they knew they were being shot at. Also, dear loot farmers, fuck you as well. Every time I go there, all I see is loot outside the tents, how hard is it to play this game/mod properly? People have to exploit everything these days... People say this is wrong and that is wrong yet people continue to do this? Annoys the shit out of me. Yes, I am mad. Good night.

6 days, I'd acquired a DMR which killed at least 10 people and acquired as AS50 which was unfortunately taken from my hands just 30 minutes later whilst covering a friend as he looted the barracks :(

No, that'd annoy the shit out of me.
