We seem to have hit critical mass in the obnoxious posters count. The hero/bandit skin accomplishes nothing more than letting me know which one to drop on sight. If I see a hero, I'll treat him with the exact same caution as I would anybody else. If I see a bandit, I can assume he is up to no good and murder him before he tries to do the same to me. This whole thing about "exploiting" the hero skin nearly has me in tears with laughter. If someone is truly dumb enough to lower his weapon based on a skin or shout of "FRIENDLY!!!," he deserves whatever happens to him. At the same time, it might give a survivor pause in just killing the potential hero off immediately. If I get the drop on a bandit, he will die. If I hold up a hero, I will be far more likely to let him go unmolested and with his gear after I secure my retreat. TL;DR - This system does not affect heroes at all, other than giving me a reason to not immediately open fire and instead watch events unfold. It mostly just points out the KOS survivors. There can be no exploitation if players treat other players with equal amounts of caution regardless of skin. I am for the Bandit/Hero skin
