Have to say I agree with the need for some distinction around here. Theres "PVP" where two people who are a threat to each other go at it, and then there are assholes who snipe unarmed fresh spawns on the beach from a hill 800m away. First of all, PVP is essential to the game. I think we can all (or at least a very high percentage) agree on that. There'd be no reason for the non-bandits to sneak around or be cautious at all. The game would get pretty stale. However, I really don't agree with the people saying there should be some game mechanics to stop these sniper guys. They shouldn't be banned, or kicked from server or whatever. They're free to choose their own playstyle, and that playstyle happens to be "being a dick". What I DO think should be the safeguard against these dicks is OTHER PLAYERS. Not game mechanics, but other real players, calling them dicks and hunting them down. HEROES should be the safeguard. People who choose that playstyle can comb those hills and kill those dicks. The only downside being those sniper cowards that alt-f4 as soon as they take fire. Well just fraps them and name and shame. Call them out. DISCOURAGE THEM and maybe their epeens will shrink enough from repeatedly being called a pussy and they'll knock it off.
