I started playing DayZ and hated bandits, now I still hate them but without them, the game wouldn't be as much fun. That being said, the last 5 or 6 guys I have ran into (Which I had more than ample opprtunity to kill first) have shot me dead (even pretending to be friendly then shooting me in the back). Is this what this game is becoming? Because it's turning into DM with zombie added for inconvenience. So now I'm left with, instead of trying to talk or work with people to simply just kill them outright if I see them close by me and thus becoming part of the problem. At least with the bandit skins we all knew where we stood (and before people start going on how unrealistic that is, the game is unrealistic ok - granted the most realistic of the unrealistic games out there but still, when U can't even lower ur pistol, or even holster it (Add that in, it works in Takistani Life - EDIT: Can u still crouch without a gun, could never do it in arma 1) then that is just dumb. Also in RL you can tell a persons demeanor, in fact there are so many indicators in RL to tell what character a person is the bandit skin compensated for that. It's retarded, people are not going to just walk around a corner and blow ur head off - ADD IN some custom animations maybe and the ability to lower a weapon or holster it?
