Behaviour of the players is dictated by the game design. If they're given an M4 they will potentially shoot it sooner or later, if they are given the ability to craft improvised backpack they will make it, if they are given the ability to cook and eat human meat - they will do it. You already can see this type of behaviour on experimental servers, which were much friendlier place than the stable ones until now. Your behaviour on the other hand is quite aggressive and not polite to say the least. I advise you to stop it and contribute to a discussion in a polite and a constructive manner.

I am a shop manager as well, although from a different country, and yes, I second that, parents buying restricted titles for their children is an issue. That's why I constantly reminding my shop assistants to be vigilant and ask parents if they know about age rating, and that they may be buying a product that is not suitable for their children. Because if they don't it will be our issue, as a shop. And it is our responsibility before the law to see that the age rating rules are respected. And yes, it's so easy for those children to actually buy something with the restricted content online. With a mom's credit card or whatever. And yes again, judging by the voices of people you meet in Chernarus, there's plenty of players not only under age of 18, but 13 as well. I mean, you don't even need to go far to see that. Look at the Recruitment section on this forum or on Reddit. There's plenty of posts from kids who are like 15.

Well, let's just hope that as a game develops we will be introduced to a new game mechanics that will actually reward peaceful interactions between the players. Because as of now I cannot think about a single thing, but a good nature of some players, that could actually make somebody to make a friendly move towards another player. At the same time there's a ton of different reasons to do KoS and general banditry. So let's just hope, that as a game develops, and there's still a lot of time till the game hits 1.0, we will see this changing for the better. Have some beans, and try to be friendly to a people that you meet in Chernorus. I will do my part as well. :)

I agree. But not because of the "issues in some parts of the world" - there are always will be people out there offended by this or that - but because it essentially reduces the chance of friendly encounters by great margin, and this kind of encounters are already infrequent as it is.

Yeah, it's been awhile since this issue have arose. Just don't forget to use bug tracker, man. There's a report on it: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=13659. Vote it up and comment,

Does someone have an issue of game crashing? I stop losing my character on connection and starting with the new one, but now game crashing like every five minutes or so. Is there a report on this issue on a Bug Tracker?

I have an issue of losing my character as well. Sometimes I also get "The server has not been able to contact the central server to load a character" and sometimes not. But I'm almost always start with the new character. Only once server was able to load my previous character.

Harsh and not exactly on topic... but so much true!

Don't be so touchy. If you feel like you've been misundersood, try to reason or make your point sound more clear. If I said something offensive I apologise, haven't mean it. As I said I am playing on EU servers. As do my sense of humour.

No offence man. I understand how it is tiring to get killed every time when you try to approach a person when all you wanna do is try to find out if he is friendly or not. Been there myself so many times. And once again I'm no advocate for Russians or whatever. Man that's some narrow minded thinking there. If you met a person(s) who lie, betray and don't understand humour, that doesn't mean that all of his compatriots are the same. Also if he is such a douche, why are you playing with him? And one more thing, humour is essential! Zombie apocalypse tastes so much better when flavoured with humour!

Well, I'm Russian and I play on EU servers. And I am more of the friendly mentality. I do not KoS, I do not abuse or harass other players. And I prefer talking to shooting. This usually will get me killed before I can do anything, but this is how I roll. I just feel bad killing other players. Yes, I do know this stories about those pesky Russians but I can not advocate for or against them. I think I have played on RU servers just twice. It's just more fun playing with people from all other Europe. It's the diversity thing. But anyway, hear me out. I think that I have some kind of explanation for this. When you're killed by a person with unaccented english you think: hey, it's just another bandit. But when you're killed by person with eastern-european accent it's always those damn Russians. And frankly speaking, if my English is good and accent is nearly non-existent (I don't say that about myself, just a figure of speech) how could you tell that I am Russian? I can kill you and you would think that yes, it's another bandit, or I can help you and we will travel together, but you won't know from where I am from. But if my english is bad and accent is heavy, then it can lead to a situation like the one that Retro19 posted up higher: "I'm sorry but your accent sounded funny and I couldn't take any chances with you. I'm not actually racist in real life, but you know Russians in DayZ..." Once again I'm no advocate for other people actions and it doesn't matter for me if they are Russians or not. But I think that Friendly/Bandit mentality is based more on a gear of a player. Just watch this fine video by Wobo ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd1fGLfR3jk ). It also features players from Belarus. And I'm sure that if most of you met them ingame, you'd call them Russians, but they are not. They are also friendly to player. To end this post on a more positive note, here is a fun story. I play in a group with people from Slovakia, UK and China. And I have been killed by Slovakian dude because he mistaken me for a bandit when we were at NWAF. And I also have been killed by UK dude because he mistaken me for a zombie (not really, he wanted to help me out, but missed and shoot me instead of zombie). So who is the worst now? Surely not a guy from China, 'cos he haven't killed me yet ;) .
