omg alleycat, this game is soooo not for you...you are complaining that what this game needs is reputation??? then go play CoD and until you've reached the highest prestige rank or so...because in a situation like in DayZ, there are no reputations...you don't think I "just killed 10 guys and died afterwards" and say "but I will be remembered" because you will never live again... you give yourself the options: 1. Scavenge through buildings 2. Take it off player corpses ...and prefer option 2? sure, if that person is already dead, then yes...but you are forgetting an important issue which is considering risking your life, which sadly will be less considered once there are persistent tents and you care even less if you die because you have collected loot for the time you magically come back from the dead... Imo your arguments are saying that you wanna get rid of the permadeath aspect, because permadeath means you have to start from scratch... Benefits of keeping players alive can be friendships or partnerships for looting the Airfield together because its way more difficult to do it alone, and you still need other alive survivors for collecting and transfusing blood... And the death notification by whom you got shot from is also soo unrealistic, because a dead body doesn't say "killed by IF**KEDYOURMOMMA"...the only thing that could increase your reputation is by witnesses, and even then its temporary, like "there is a sniper up that hill killing everybody in Elektro"...if you're so desperate to leave your mark, then leave a note on the dead bodies and spread your reputation that way, that would even be realistic in real life... you're obviously some kind of a big shot from an older mod of a mod of a mod of the mod that is dayz, who built up his reputation and his lvl100 banditskin bla bla...you might as well go to World of Warcraft with your reputation sh*t where the NPCs fear you everywhere...that should satisfy your hunger for attention.
