Well to be fair a server with a ping requirement you can't meet wouldn't be a server you have a character on to begin with. Servers with low activity would have higher activity due to players not just popin in to take loot and dc. Clan servers.. not sure on this subject And best of all , travel servers would be non functional exploits as well. The advantages for the common player are raised as bandits can't suddenly swarm the good loot locations and camp them unless they earned those weapons and placements themselves on the server. Another is that players whom have exploited this server hoping can't host their own server make it private and set up a thousand tents to contain loot to go griefing on other servers with. Clan servers probably have this going for them right now. The cons are out weighted by the pros from this sort of change IMHO.

Use soft agro tools like cans, flares and what not to avoid getting detected until you find a way to defend yourself. Seriously, would you rather have to deal with bandits constantly pking you for your ammo since it's a 100% refundable way to grief or would you rather learn how to farging avoid a undead swarm like you should be doing in the first place.

considering the crossbow is a niche but powerful weapon i'd not recommend giving it to players as a starting weapon. I believe the current spawn entices players to avoid killing one another because they don't have good enough loot to even warrant shooting less you are just being a dick.

I myself was teleported into the ocean and swam to shore, found nothing, had lost my weapons , had my tools only. I lost : Gillie suit, x2 Water, x1 canned food, x 1 road flare, x1 blue chem, x 5 steel bolts, Makarov , 6 clips, 2 bandages, Crossbow Map, Watch, hunting knife, hatchet, x1 can in pouch (can't remember other items in it) Logged out near Pustoshka in a bush on the outskirts. Came back an hour later in said ocean.
