+1 because I laughed so hard I woke up everyone in the house

May not totally fix it but its a nifty idea. That would be a lot of information going to select people though, it could lag the servers if you start reaching 50 players all trying to use it at once haha. Nice idea though :)

Why not just have a "sleep" part to the game. Sleeping bags could be another piece of gear/tools that everyone starts out with (or doesn't but they spawn quite often) and when you want to DC you have to use that. 5 second wait and you DC BUT the sleeping bag doesn't work if you: A) Get hit (by players or Zeds) B) Are bleeding, you need to bandage yourself first (this would diminish the # of people DCing in the middle of a firefight because most shots start bleeding right away) C) You're within X meters/yards/feet of Zeds. This would keep people from logging out in towns and then server hopping to get easy loot seeing as most good loot is within the patrols of Zeds. I don't know if this has already been suggested but if it has, I apologize. I thought of them just now while reading this thread.

We already have these, they're called screenshots and they don't take up any inventory space :P

About 4:10pm EST, someone was using server messages (the kind that black out the entire screen and have the words right in the middle) to write random things, like Backstreet Boys lyrics and random quotes. Game was still going on while this was happening so people were being attacked by zombies while they couldn't see. I took a screenshot then got off ASAP so I could report. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542929606120181138/C3CCB7000BC75B5A1E935756AF48ED5B81BBF361/ Thought it was admin abuse at first but people claimed otherwise, I hope they're correct.

The only problem with a system where you "learn" from other characters is groups of bandits would spawn in and suicide until they had the specific classes they wanted and then they would go off and "learn" from each other, making a group of powerhouses that know something about everything. That would nerf players who like to go lone wolf and do their own thing instead of deal with others because they wouldn't be gaining skills from people around them. Its a good idea and I like that people are so creative but when you come up with ideas like this you need to also thing of how people could abuse it, because they will.
