The thing is that when you have scoured the wasteland and found yourself the best weapons etc, you can lose it all in a heartbeat by trusting someone. I think the game would benefit by allowing persistant killers to be hunted down/recognised as you would in the real world. If you want to be an outlaw then that is fine by me because from a gaming point of view it can be fun and that's the truth. Some players like to get into the game a bit more deeply and try to live and thrive off the land rather than take the easy route and fill your backpack by killing. Maybe we could put up wanted posters at towns with outlaws names etc, or even better allow game Tags like in Arma so you can see who it is. I dont want to seem negative because I really do enjoy the game I just thought there would be more trusting people on it. The scary thing is that in any real event it doesnt give me a great hope for humanity lol. keep safe

There's only so many times you can get shot and robbed before you lose all trust. I have approached people unarmed, stood still etc, and everyone I have met has tried to kill me, but if that's the way folks roll on here then I'm cool with it.

This is not my experience at all!! Without exception everyone I meet tries to kill me, no one has ever responded to comms, no one has ever responded to my "friendly" behaviour they will just kill you and rob you. I do not trust anyone on this game, and consequently the first thing anyone will get from me is a face full of AK74. I would like to be proved wrong and actually meet somone who will cooperate, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hello everyone Kublai here, I have been playing Day Z now for a week or so and enjoy the game and the atmosphere it creates. I've been playing PC games since they first came out so you could say I'm a mature gamer with decades of experience behind me, so not a newbie. My major moan about this game are the constant Bandits everywhere who just seem to kill you for no reason at all. I even had someone kill me when I had only just spawned with no possetions, what is the point of that!! No one I have ever come across wants to cooperate and you get fired upon the instant they see you. Now I don't have a problem with this as I'm a big boy and can take it, but I do not trust anyone anymore and will simply shoot on sight anyone I see. I don't like doing this but what can you do if you want to protect your gear? even if you make it obvious to them by lowering your weapon and showing you will not fire they will kill you!!
