If it was dubstep, all shalt be forgiven..

I totally agree with you! But as much as I would love if Dayz were 1p only, it's impossible accomplish that without upsetting the majority of the community (which from Rockets point of view isn't very desired if you either want to sell or have a good relationship with your community)! What I wanna say is that, as long a I get to play it my way, I don't really care if other people like to play it in another way (which is what the original Arma community is ALL about! Have you seen the amount of available mods for A2?).. Cheers!

It was originally a key feature in the arma series that was still enabled in the DayZ mod. And since there are obvious advantages using it (as you mentioned) people continued using it either because they liked it or (like me) they didn't want the 3person-guys to get the upper hand. And since people got used to it, they're not very willing to part with it (I think Rocket suggested once that he was thinking of getting rid of it entirely but I think he realized that people were to fond of it). Anyway, if you (like me) wanna play 1person, just join the right server. There might not be as many, but I can promise you that there are enough to have fun :)
