I'm more of a 'Rick' from TWD. I usually avoid/by-pass unknown survivors and just go on my merry way with my squad. But as for bandits, if they're in close vicinity at the same town/village I'm at I engage them in cold blood. Because these are the players that kill other survivors and ruin their hard grind and fun, and they think they're some outlaw bad asses hunting unsuspecting newbies on the beach. More like a bunch of 14 year olds thinking its fun to shoot someone in the back for a can of beans, acting all evul and sh*t, mostly for the lulz. And I know that some of you bandits here might say, 'but we were shot at and I've had enough of that bs and I'm pissed so I'll kill everything I see to survive' - I've been killed twice by bandits in the beginning. That's where the "avoiding/bypassing" principle comes into play. Some say that they had to become a bandit in self-defense from killing starting-survivors that were hostile. Well... tough luck, how would I know that for sure. That's a huge risk. I guess the PVP system is somewhat flawed still. But, especially if you're in the North and you're still a bandit then you're just a game to me. Because you've had enough time to regain your humanity to turn back. Here's how you will end up ;)
